Preview Changes and prematch discussion vs Swans

[Devington]

We’re really getting into sado-masochistic self-flagellation at this stage, aren’t we? Time to check out, I reckon. We’re just one step away from “Cunners was never any good”.

Richmond supporters here went ECO (emotionally checking out) when it looked like dimma was a bust. Worked for them, lets hope it works for us!

If TT lines up this week...

Just tell Sheezel to give it to TT and vice versa. Noone else touch the pill and we will win.

they can give it to willphil also

One of the few clean users with the ball

Sorry for butting in. I came here as a supercoacher looking for LDU injury news.
The mood here feels familiar. In 2020 we were awful and took until Rd 15 to win a game, but less than 3 years later, we’re looking like a top 8 side.
Keep the faith. You’ve got a good coach and a lot of young players. Things will turn.

 

[Greater Gattsby]

Does anyone have a contact so I can put my hand up for selection? Will settle for VFL

 

[choppy]

Maybe you'll all be able to tell me "I told you so", but I've always felt like Phillips will be a bust

Like Cunners, Simpkin, LDU
You will be proven wrong again

 

[jay317]

I pray for the VFL team this week...

 

[Rod Stroker]

I reckon we are a sneaky chance this week. Sure we've been hit by injuries and are playing like shit, but they have quite a few top liners out this week and aren't traveling so well themselves. We are getting them at a good time.

I respect your optimism

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

As we always get monstered by small/medium forwards, Sydney will comfortably have our measure.

Papley, Heeney, Hayward.

None have been near it for weeks. Absolutely primed to kick 10 between them.

I was thinking exactly that the other day.

There's actually a weird logic behind it too.

Just bring your boots and sit behind the North interchange. Clarko will probably wave you on before half time.

It probably didn't help that LMac kicked it straight to Chapman with his first touch, and went back over his head through the big white poles.

My take on Luke is that he was physically very well developed as a junior - he was pretty much the same body shape as he is now. This made him stand out, notably with his ability as an 18 year old to kick the ball 60 metres - I remember him kicking a goal from the centre square at Princes Park when he was playing VFL for werribee as a junior.

Those attributes over-inflated his reputation, but we weren't the only ones - without the F/S system, West Coast were prepared to take him for a top 10 pick.

Our problem was political - we had to match the bid, partly because Donald was still an influential figure, and partly because we contributed to the over-marketing by parading him at Werribee

There was rumor that we weren’t looking to take Luke as a father son when we learnt of West Coasts bid.

Probably bullshit. Probably true. Who knows.
Something to do with his old lady having a an argument with Euge over it, and ensuring that Donald never worked for the club again and Luke would never play for North in his lifetime.

I’m pretty sure we raised eyebrows in 2013 with the AFL questioning why a 17yo who hadn’t been drafted was training and spending so much time at the club. Shit to do with draft tampering and whatnot.

At the time, we were all super excited and didn’t care and I guess the club was as well about the prospect of recruiting him. There would have been a riot if we didn’t take him.
The rising star who bleeds blue and white. Perfect match.
Oh well shit happens I guess

I’ll leave this here (already posted)

 

[FlyHigh18]

Interested to know if a club has ever won a game after 6 changes?

How many do Sydney have?

 

[Horizons_00]

Papley, Heeney, Hayward.

This is the issue. It seems like every team that is in putrid form and their forwards can’t kick goals, they come up against us and all of a sudden Buddy, Papley, Mills etc all kick bags and bang they’re back into form again lol

Yesh, but where is the ranking for actual opposition score donations by turnover ? , reckon we would be comfortably 1st.

Do we really want to know?

The only donations that don’t get a deduction

 

[Maddo11]

What say we just call it a draw now so our lists can all have an extra week off? Yeah? Great. I'll have horses' people call Clarkos people.

The McCartin's appear to be living proof that there is a lot more to concussion than getting hit a lot / hard. There are clearly genetic and physiological differences that make some people more vulnerable.

Be fair to Heeney. He has not been near it all season.

 

[giantroo]

Found this on the footy live app which lists the indigenous team names:

Ours being Yern-da-ville (And yes, I had a chuckle at the Bombers one)

 

[Makeshift Park]

Be fair to Heeney. He has not been near it all season.

Who do you think will play on Larkey and CCJ?

Will it be Fox and Francis?
