Couple of lucky players, notably Gibbs. Frampton gets a gig on slightly better than Berg produced, I'd rather have gone with Crocker and a smaller set up.

I can tolerate the Gibbs selection if it's the last chance saloon for him. Basically tell him he's got one more chance to prove he's got what it takes to be an AFL player, otherwise he's done and only getting a game if injury demands it.

Agree, I would have preferred Hamill over Gibbs, but the club were always going to persist with Gibbs early.
Will be interesting to see how we handle Tex, Fog, Billy & Lynch. Can't have all 4 in our forward line at once or it will be a disaster!
Can't believe after everything we saw that Gibbs still got picked. How many turnovers will he gift to Sydney for goals? 4? 5? I'm not convinced we can kick more than 10 goals for the game so any gifts will make life exceptionally hard.

I would give him a % turnover limit for Gibbs to keep his place...
Tex and Lynch rotate hf/wing as the link
I’m a huge wrap for McAdam, hope he gets there, can play.

Really think in our circumstances we should be trying to fast track McAdam & show some patience.
Happy Davis given a go though... hopefully for more than 1 game to show his wears.
Those numbers had nothing to do with Murphy. It’s the slow structure that they built the system around combined with god awful decision making and delivery from our mids.
I'm not even sure how they can justify having all 4 in the team, let alone the same forward line. There really is no case for selecting Billy - none at all. They definitely should have gone with a smaller player instead - McAdam or Crocker being the two most likely replacements.

Personally I would only have played Frampton when the opposition have 2 quality ruckmen.
Sydney he is not really needed imo.
Where did I say they were to do with him? Our forward pressure sucked, Nicks knows it does, which is why he wanted a smaller forward line, even in the Gold Coat game without the extra tall Murphy still lead the forwards in pressure acts, which is why he's getting a game.
Nicks hasn’t gone with a smaller forward line. Where are you getting that?
edit - and my post had nothing to do with Murphy’s selection. Couldn’t even read that in.
Honestly our forward structure, we haven't learnt from our mistakes last year

Delayed for 6 weeks? You honestly think this will all be sorted in 6 weeks during the middle of winter which is prime time killing season???

He did say after the last Marsh game when Tex rucked that we’d probably see a taller side forward of the ball in R1
Going for a more traditional structure. That’s if you don’t count Tex on a wing..

This is a strong team and Nick's has made the right call first up.Every team is on zero and we need to be playing to win.
-Tex did a good job as 2nd ruck but we missed a tall target in the forward contest. Billy has good hands so hopefully can clunk some.
- lmurphy deserves to start. while he was terrible in the preseason games, he was solid last year in his 2nd season. Hopefully he can take it to the next level.
-Happy they didn't play Crocker. He got some ball in the preseason, but didn't make an impact and forward pressure was poor. Davis showed some good signs if he can get 15+ disposals he could be a game changer.
-Give Gibbs a go in rnd1 , if u don't play him now he should have been delisted last season.
-intercept marking was poor in the preseason. Maccasee should help with this.

Forget about the shit show going in, we’ll kick some goals. What will certainly happen is that we’ll get cut up out of our 50, only question is who the coaches will blame. Gut feel is that we’ll change out kids whilst locking in the horrific forward structure.
There's a few on borrowed time it's looking like.
Poholke will get a run, same with Crocker and Ned. Exciting times.
