Preview Round 22 vs GWS Changes & Pre-Match Discussion

[Powertron]

Lord has been able to do 2 things.

• Take multiple marks inside 50
• Stop his opponent from taking marks

These are incredibly important traits in the modern AFL for a key forward.

He only needs to improve in 2 areas to be a long term AFL player.

• Get involved more
• Convert his opportunities.

First one comes with time.
Second comes with practice and confidence.

We have found a player in Lord, it's just up to him how far he goes.

I get what your saying about Lords potential but how many players have been able to turn around their kicking from his level to average / above average?

I can think of one - Levi Casboult - I think he’s the exception that proves the rule.

To be honest, his kicking was never a problem until he started kicking in front of 50,000 people. I would be surprised if most of it wasn't mental, and if he can't turn it around and create more consistency in his method.

I feel bad for McEntee, getting games when you know you don’t deserve them would kill your confidence

Narkle will probably get delisted and we're out here jumping the gun giving Jed 2 years because he's the mythical pressure monster.

Ollie's looking more like a John Butcher 2.0 rather than WGT

Similar to a Justin Timberlake video.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll find our top 2 form again this weekend.

Port by 10 goals.

BLOODY WELL SAID !

Weekend at McEntee’s

It will be interesting to see who is available. Before we start calling 10 goal wins we should see the side.

Fair point.

Uncanny resemblance.

 

[StrappingTape]

GWS are bog average so if we are any good we should beat them easy 6+ goals.

Your bar must be quite high for “bog average”

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I think when he typed bog he might have meant best on ground.

Think a few people here are selling GWS short.
On the verge of the 8 means they are going to be more than competitive.
Because they seem to get less media coverage than the Swans they tend to slip under the radar.
They have a reasonable on ball division and we all know that Toby Greene

will delight in tearing our backline apart given half a chance.
We should win but going on form we are by no means certainties.
We are also expected to win....so we know what normally happens next!!

They are an average team. We should beat them easily even with some outs if we are any good but here we are.

 

[El Zorro]

GWS by 38.

 

[pastmyprimus]

I’m tipping McEntee holds his spot now that it seems Hinkley will get a contract extension

Lmao, Tommy Chungas looks like death warmed up on Channel 9.
