Preview Round 3 Vs West Coast @ MCG

[CowboyFromHell]

I do not want to see Sellar loping around the forward line, constantly behind his man anymore. Has to go.

Tapscott will come into the team and probably have no impact. Just can't seem to find the footy at AFL level.

Jamar, stop tapping it down the throat of any opposition you can find, or fail to get off the ground at all. Pick up your game.

Right, there is my negative outputs. Now, good to see Davey make the most of his opportunities. Jones continues to fight. I honestly think we will put up more of a fight against the Eagles. I can see us losing by under 10 goals. Sounds silly but that would be a big improvement.

Get the ball out of the middle, get some decent delivery into the 50 and it will all flow from there.

I'd like to see Tapscott get a run in the middle, particularly at centre bounces. Leaving him on a flank is waste. Get him in there to smash a few bodies and win a few clearances. Not only will it be good for us but good for the kids confidence as well.

Yes, totally agree. He seems lost at half forward. Always really wide. Let's put that long kick to good use!

Absolutely. His big weapon, his kicking, is wasted just at half forward. Would love him to be able to win some clearances and set up play further down the ground. He may not have the tank for it, yet, but stints in there wouldn't be a bad thing.

Might be worth it, blow him up cardio wise in the first half then sub him during the third once he's played his role.

Neeld always talks about roles, lets give someone a role for once.

They have had roles - to run around like headless chooks. They just need new ones.

But I agree - give him 3 quarters and sub him out. His strength over the footy and foot skills could be a real positive.

 

[Captain Jack]

No need to run him into the ground, it's a matter of him having a good impact on the game. Get him in the first centre bounce, get him to crack some skulls and get his hands on the pill early and he may well be (we can hope) a runaway freight train who then goes forward with confidence and kicks a couple of goals too.

From our side, Sheppard is definitely out with injury annoyingly after playing well against the Hawks, while Hams hurt his hand at training apparently (would have been dropped anyway IMO).

Not sure whether Kerr will come in or whether they'll give him another week in the WAFL, seemed quite unfit. Le Cras is a great chance to come back in, he seems to have supernatural healing powers. Mackenzie is a chance too but if he doesn't come in it's a great chance for Mitch Brown to play another game.

I'd drop Cripps too, but I suspect he will sub.

We are playing pretty poor footy, I fear/suspect this game may be closer than a lot of people think.

Dropped his head?

That's amazing, don't think I've ever seen an injury report read "broken arm - two weeks". Love watching him play, hope he does as I don't think I've seen him play live since 2010.

Wishing you boys the best of luck, hell both teams could really benefit from a competitive match

Too right, he should be a follower. Dude is made for it, get in there and help Jonesy.

 

[Captain Jack]

Yeah so I only just got home from work (3:15am)... Fair to say I will not be joining at training in the morning. Enjoy.

C'mon captain Jack harden up a bit pal........lol

 

[dee_mac]

Jeez it feels like a month since we last played. Hurry up Saturday!

 

[CM Sean]

Realistically, we haven't played at all yet.
(not since last year!)

 

[rhaz]

Got absolutely no confidence at all today. All I see 100 point belting coming.

Yup, round 10 or 12 last year wasn't it?

 

[CM Sean]

Yeah, something like that. xD

 

[LeverPuller]

Not going to be able to make it tomorrow now =(

if you get the gastric flu thing that's running around, don't mess around, it is nasty as hell

 

[Roobs321]

I still have disturbing memories of our 2008 & 09 losses to the dees at the G (both of which I attended), so not writing you off yet.

 

[Dez!]

I'm thinking Bail will be a late withdrawal for Watts, missed the entire pre-season and only played his first game last week.

 

[Tulip]

I just remembered that I have work at 3. I'll have to listen on the radio. Certainly not turning down money to spend money on that tripe.

Hardly a curse. You guys smashed us in 2010 at the G. That was a bit embarrassing considering we seemed to be having a few solid games at the time and you guys were at the tail of the ladder.

If we are to be any chance of getting even remotely close to even becoming a chance of possibly maybe being a sniff of perhaps within the realms of possibility being the littlest of conceivable chances to somehow getting anywhere near to winning this game. The heavens must erupt.

And good grief, I just got up and there's actually every chance
