People here salty with the selections this week but I think it’s more the ones that have been left in the side that are bothering people.

Honey/ECurnow/ especially.

In time Carrol/Boyd/Cottrell will replace them.

Owies and Motlop as well.

I suspect the form of Cerra has also indirectly resulted in the dropping of Kennedy.

Cripps, Cerra, Walsh now clearly our 3 best mids. Playing Hewett and Kennedy as mids 4-5, neither of whom has a 2nd position forces us to rotate Cerra and Walsh (who are more versatile) off the ball more then we'd like to accommodate them.

We can't really afford to be doing that. Would be the same with Dow which is why we never bring him in.

Doch as 5th mid can play the majority of the game at halfback and go onball when we need him to cover rotations. We don't have to move other players out of position to accommodate him.

Common sense ain’t so common

Fact check

Kennedy was out after round 1 against Richmond - I guess your 'understanding' has nothing to do with coach's votes for that game- since he scored 8 coach's votes - second to Cripps who got 10.

For those that want to know what a double effort from a mid running into our forward fifty looks like - see below.

Kennedy's double effort rewarded with the Blues' first

Carlton's Matthew Kennedy doesn't give up and snaps accurately

Whilst MK is shorter, I'd have him compete for JSOS' role. At least MK is a much more reliable kick for goal.

I'm not sure that's a criteria for being a forward in Voss' gameplan

 

[TheReal99prelim]

We want changes !

We don’t want changes !

Somebody has to pay … just not the player I like

I see you're making use of the book, "Induction & Inferencing For D"

 

[FRUMPY]

He’s slow. They’re trying to maximise his burst.

Yep spot on. Puts pressure on others to play more game time so if he's form isn't great he gets the chop

unsubstantiated theory I have is that he’s already told the club he’s off at the end of the year …

Stop projecting

Being scammed occasionally is part of life. I once paid $1200 for a sound system which looked super high quality from a van in a parking lot, from these guys who said they were audio installers. they said the warehouse had given them a double order by mistake. Even showed me a website where it was like $6000 rep system. The moment they drove out of my driveway I knew something was wrong. Worst part. At the time I was at Uni and working in the electronics part of David Jones.
You just got to take these things on the chin, some of them are really talented scammers.
And the sound from this thing was awful.

I did the same in chapel street .. was actually looking for speakers at the time as I was interested in djing .. still have them lol

 

[branedotorg]

Just to be clear, the required level of a mid sized forward is 435 career goals and 3 flags?

Ideally

Clear, well reasoned and exactly what I was thinking.

You blokes should rest Curnow and McKay to make this a fair game

 

[Robbo's my hero]

We’ll rest them in the forward 50. How’s that?

Prioritising a win this week over easing back injured players.

Prioritising a win this week over selection integrity.

Knows a loss this week would be disastrous for himself.

Gameplan or system is non existent so must keep as much talent and experience in the team at all times.

So, we shouldn't bring back two of our most important players if they are ready?

 

[TheBlueblood]

So I assume Dow is never getting a game ? Haven’t seen a lot of the seconds.. but gets the pill .

I expect to win this game by 1 hundred billion, kajillion goals.

We will rest them….. in the forward line. Cripps will rest there too at times.

I think that’s a tad unrealistic. Take 1 off that and it’s more reasonable.
