Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Gold Coast in Darwin oh jesus [Out: Pink, Duurs & Jy - In: WiPhi, Laz & Greenwood]

[Val Keating]

I would never question his commitment to the club and his effort, but I think the game has gone passed him

He destroyed Owens before they moved archer onto him.

 

[Val Keating]

As I said in the Luke McDonald thread; he was better yesterday compared to his previous games, but overall he was still poor.

I would rather give Hardeman and Archer a full game as our small/medium defenders.

I was going to give him votes for his lockdown game, but I couldn’t ignore Corrs game on King. He was very good at stopping his direct opponent, especially considering the inside 50 count.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I’ve seen enough again Clunkbar Maley in

Relief rucking and crashing packs forward again today

He is nowhere near playing seniors.

lol, you’re completely biased - he isn’t ready and even today he hasn’t done enough.

And gave away consecutive holding the man free kicks away. But that will be ignored.

I wouldn’t mind trying Pink as that 2nd forward and just tell him it’s not about possessions and goals, but how many contests he can get to and impact.

I actually thought our forward line look the most balanced it has been for a while when he was subbed on.

We have nothing to lose by trying it out.

 

[Horizons_00]

Hawks beat bulldogs today and are showing fight

West coast almost beat bombers on their home deck and playing with effort

Gold Coast are going to absolutely destroy us lol

These teams have senior players invested in making the club better.

We have a bunch of sooks that bitch and moan about losing but phone in their effort.

**** the lot of them off and set the standards.

Bergman, Bergman and Bergman….

Wouod love to know Clarko (north’s) plan because we’re getting worse while the rest of the comp is improving

Just the basics we can’t even get rn

The plan should be to piss off any player that isn’t invested in moving the club forward.

On face value the following players look like they sit in that category.

LDU
Zurhaar
Corr
Stephenson
Taylor
Simpkin

Club will survive if they can’t hack it and want to move on.

History proves it’s only the most committed that experience success and you have to question the attitude of most of these players.

You think our captain is just running around out there not invested? He may not be playing well but that's a trash take.

He isn’t invested at all.

He’s gone into sook mode because he is no longer a first choice mid.

His effort this year has been appalling.

When’s the last time you have seen Simpkin run hard and chase?

What ???? I was there at Sandy today & went in to see the game in a positive frame of mind towards Finbar & now I know why he said it himself “he’s not ready for AFL” because he was serviceable but I don’t think he took a pack mark all day . But he did try hard

 

[RossHenshaw]

Bergman, Bergman and Bergman….

From todays game in the VFL I would bring in Curtis Taylor before Bergman .

I wouldn’t.

Taylor is cooked.

Bergman might have had an off day, but prior to that he should have been getting a game in front of some of the useless ****s we were giving games to.

I like Bergman but I heard Taylor had a good game last week & watching him live at the ground he really worked his ringer off from the wing taking some good grabs (outlet pass from fullback to him) played like he gave a shit …. Did not looked cooked . In fact he was very loud with encouragement & instructions.

Well I will believe you as I didn’t see the game.

If the penny has dropped and he has realised the effort required, then he can’t be any worse than Sleevo.

The games I have seen this year he looked like he was just plodding along.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Ford is an obvious choice to come in but taylor seems to be a suitable replacement for Stephenson as well. the other question is drury who although is a smart footballer doesnt seem to get enough of it. We also have duursma who really should play some VFL games to get some form.

 

[the_cleaner]

Out: Sleevo

thought he was a late out yesterday and that’s why i didn’t see him on the field. was surprised when i saw him out there. pink had more of an impact then him as the sub and stevo had a 3 quarter head start.

From what I saw today in the VFL
I would bring in Ford for Cat Stephenson but also I would bring in Curtis Taylor in for Duursma .
Before I get shot down …
And just going from todays VFL game .
WillPhil - no, needs more VFL confidence
Greenwood - no, we know it’s his last year / get nothing playing him
Lazzaro - maybe , but we know we just get effort from Laz. Maybe for Drurie.
Bergman- no, not playing well enough as yet since injury
Stephens - noooooo he’s a cat in VFL too
Harvey - no , was Rusty . Needs more VFL
Hansen jnr - no , refer to Stephens comment
Pink - maybe , but play / try him forward
Nyuon - no , unless we lose a key defender at training this week
Sellers - no, just looks like VFL is his ceiling
Finbar - no , refer to Sellers comment
