Preview Changes and prematch discussion vs Swans

[RUNVS]

Who do you think will play on Larkey and CCJ?

Will it be Fox and Francis?

Depends. Longmire may bring in Melican due to no other options. Otherwise you are probably right about Fox and Gould.

I look forward to watching him kick 8

 

[Hearts to hearts]

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)

We should change it once a season like Naarm does.

Last time we beat Sydney in Melbourne was 2007 lol.

We'd be better off playing them at the SCG.

 

[north_lad]

Every year this is the game I least look forward to, because I know we will lose.

 

[Makeshift Park]

If CCJ wanted a big opportunity to stake his claim as a best 22 KPF, this'd be the game to do it.

 

[Passmore]

You could apply that to every game we have played in the last 3 years.

I was there that day, absolutely blitzed the first quarter

I reckon we are a sneaky chance this week. Sure we've been hit by injuries and are playing like s**t, 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.

As self evident as it sounds simply getting a bigger return on inside 50’s and reducing turnovers by a third will make us way more competitive

No chance if buckets is on him

I just have a feeling we'll be a lot more competitive this week. We know they are capable of it, the effort was there in the first 2 rounds.

Plus as I said earlier, Swans are significantly weakened at the moment, this could be our best chance to beat them in a while.

I think our increase in competitiveness will come from having to play young players who haven’t yet been conditioned into mediocrity

It takes time. They need to get into the side for a while and learn the craft of stopping freezing and looking sideways and kicking to outnumbered contests. They just need the experience.

 

[Frank Thring]

hmmm could this be the game View attachment 1688580

To.pass.Dunstall?

 

[muttley45]

Horse complaining about some more random crap to deflect from Cola's pretty average recent form yet again, boring.

 

[Samsquanch]

No chance if buckets is on him

I'd be more confident if we still had Josh Walker.

 

[Caracas]

I’ll leave this here (already posted)

I think 16th on the ladder encapsulates it in one single stat.

A percentage in the 60's is also a bit of a hint

 

[barnrokn]

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.

You're going to do an entire sycophantic media industry out of a job with this kind of stuff.

Wouldnt even beat his record against us.

 

[Lomas]

Wouldnt even beat his record against us.

He’s only 75 percent the player he used to be.

 

[koshari]

It takes time. They need to get into the side for a while and learn the craft of stopping freezing and looking sideways and kicking to outnumbered contests. They just need the experience.

Bit of a generalism given just as often they fumble and turn ot over before getting the kick away.

Alternatively they may find enough composure to scramble a handball away to the feet of a team mate.

 

[danj]

Is it possible that those players who’ve spent the most time in the VFL since Clarko came onboard will actually be the better players on Saturday as they have had more time to learn/adapt to his systems?
