Preview Changes & Pre-Match Discussion for Round 11, 2023 vs Richmond @ MCG

[Andre]

The perfect time to play Pasini.

Outs: Jonas, Evans, Boak
Ins: Dixon, Pasini, Rioli

Technique or not, Marshall with two concussions recently should have another week to recover. Boak should be given a rest after the beating up on his body.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Well s**t. He doesn't look it. And definitely doesnt play it. I expected him to be delisted last year

Wrong thread for this but Clurey plays perfectly solidly in the SANFL. He'd be quite an appropriate call-up for the AFL team if/when we need someone. And he won't be delisted, he has 2 years to go. Traded perhaps.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

The perfect time to play Pasini ...

Pasini absolutely doesn't appear AFL ready.

 

[Andre]

Pasini absolutely doesn't appear AFL ready.

Neither does Jonas, but one with AFL games to get up to speed could be going forward, where as one no longer is.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Neither does Jonas, but one with AFL games to get up to speed could be going forward, where as one no longer is.

Nonsense. Jonas is not at his best but still performs and still warrants selection. Pasini needs to start getting his name on our SANFL games match reports before being called up.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Yeah Pasini is still on his way back from injury. He hasn't regained form and confidence yet.

[VineValerian]

Just accept Jonas is having a good year, it'll be better for your health. you sound like youre about to have a stroke.

Well I guess 5 disposals versus Narrm is one of his better displays over the past 3 seasons!

Had one good moment and got suspended for it

 

[hOUTkley]

A good year in what sense? Off field?

Living his best life

 

[Capital Power]

Had one good moment and got suspended for it

Yeah, look, you're right, but the suspension was a joke. We should challenge it whether or not we intend to play him next week. It's about time we stopped being the competition's whipping boy. The same penalty as Hunter, and a bit of pocket money for Viney? Sheesh.

Does Van Rouyen get two weeks like Rioli?

Agree. We should challenge the suspension and, if we're successful, drop him.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Finlayson doesn't have a glass jaw so nothing to see here

 

[Windy Cindy]

I give us no chance in this..they have our measure in most venues but especially at the G

in- Dixon, Rioli, Marshall, jones (sub)

out- evans, mead (no thanks, vanilla) bonner (didn’t like his 2nd half) boak (rest the ribs)

Im playing lord, liked his contest, if possible depending on weather.

hopefully McKenzie comes up And Jonas just has to get off.

if essendon can overrun them then we have every chance at winning it. they are bottom ten for a reason. i find it amazing that despite anything we do one week, the next week is always "this is the game that will show where we are at"

we should win. if we dont its not the end of the world. when i saw this block of 4 i figured if we win 3 that will be a good result.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

..... i find it amazing that despite anything we do one week, the next week is always "this is the game that will show where we are at" .....

Especially mid-season that's the norm. By now the only teams not wondering are those near the foot of the ladder.

 

[Sir Watchalot]

Well I guess 5 disposals versus Narrm is one of his better displays over the past 3 seasons!

7 disposals to McKenzie, Allir. 3 marks to each of McKenzie, Allir, Jonas. 2 tackles to Jonas, 1 to McKenzie, Allir.
Jonas outranked McKenzie and Allir on AFL Fantasy and Supercoach. Looking forward to seeing you backing up your prejudice by demanding McKenzie and Allir be dropped.

 

[hammo24]

Fresh dixon could be good

looked like he was playing sore for a few weeks.

 

[Jimmy95]

That prick Shane Edwards might’ve retired but we’ll still need to protect Butters at all costs.

Definitely, they are a dirty mongrel team and the dirty directive comes from their coach. Don't let them pin the arms because the mongrels will body slam the head into the turf.

 

[Poo Eckert]

To be fair, if Jonas is winning his contests and apply defensive pressure, I’m happy with a 5 disposal game, especially if it means Houston, Bergman or a kid is collecting more ball

 

[Winganeen]

Pasini, Visenti or Sinn can play/debut against Hawthorn in a portnight, not this week.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

The Tigers have the wood over us a bit in big games recently so it is time for the lads to beat them convincingly.

I think we are just proving different things in terms of where we stand this season. Its been a confusing year so far.

Melbourne was a chance to prove we were able to keep up with the best, especially against a side who is strong where we are weak. We passed that test (and would have if we'd lost be a goal or two as well).

This week the challenge is to show we can win at the MCG. That's a ticket to dream.

this will be our biggest test. first time we have really been talked up in the media. id expect Richmond to be pretty fired up

win this, at the G and quite rightly we should be considered a big premiership chance.

Dont want to see a repeat of round 2

 

[Powertron]

Friday was Jonas’ best game for the year. He made a couple of crucial saves in the last.

Dixon won’t get up for this.

Evans should be out as was really poor.

Marshall, Rioli in.

Evans, Bonner out.
