Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Hawthorn, Sun 05/06, 2:10pm MCG

Out JDG, Brown, WHE & Pendles

In nothing left?


Seriously we were our worst enemy today. I found it hard to enjoy wins like that but hey thats me.

Pendles really looks at the end of his career & JDG looks timid and not interested.

Drugs are bad for you

Pendles was one of the reasons we won. JDG also critical in moments… the other two played their roles.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Tyler has to go out, 3 possessions to three-quarter-time,

Rapt that he kicked an important goal and did a couple of nice things, but he just hasn't clicked at AFL level yet, still fumbly, error-prone and doesn't get enough of it.

Would have loved McCreery's pace and pressure to shut down some of Saad's endless runs out of our forward 50 today.

Agreed.
I DO NOT like not having McCreery in our team.
MUST play.

 

[gouki88]

I don’t think he’ll retire either, but am second guessing myself now that you’re thinking the same thing.

If we agree then it's definitely concerning

 

[Mick F]

If we agree then it's definitely concerning

He is 34, he has done a great job getting to this point.

 

[Bianconeri]

Well he was playing in and around the midfield/ HF, hence him kicking that vital goal in the last. He was also a marking option down the ground along the wing when kicking long out of D50....

If by being a marking target you mean getting pushed out of marking contests then yes he was a marking target.

JDG so timid he put Weitering out of the game.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

You obviously just want to bag the bloke, but his efforts on the wing, with the Saad tackle, then the smother, which we eventually got a goal out of, through Cox, probably won us the match in the end....Stays in the side for me, and l'm sure he will....

 

[No SPIN]

Yeah I made a comment on another thread about pendles starting to look a bit past it, still does good things but is too slow for midfield minutes.

Already stated my thoughts on JDG, I don’t think he is worth the big $$ he wants.

Pendles’ leadership is so important that he’ll be picked even as his abilities slowly wane.

I don’t want to bag bloke I appreciate his efforts in the last. But if you’re gonna continue this argument I’m going to bring up his faults.

What a negative load of tripe. Pendles makes a couple of errors under intense pressure-how many young Carlton players were caught holding the ball or pressured into mistakes and turnovers? As for DeGoey being timid-based on what other than your animus toward the bloke. Do you consider yourself a supporter? If you don't enjoy wins like today you must have a miserable bloody time at the footy.

I'm not arguing mate, and nor would l put the effort into a pointless argument. All l said in my intial post is the T Brown stays in the side, imo, if you don't like that l suggest that, then just accept it, and don't reply to my post, and then bag the bloke in the process....

 

[domus]

Can we just beat Hawthorn? They have had the wood on us for decades!

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Hard to make changes on that gutsy performance.
Maybe give WHE a week off for Reef?
Thou WHE hasn’t been bad recently, just freshen.
McCreery for T Brown perhaps?
T Brown sub.
Thou ok if Brown stays again McCreery finds form in the twos.
Lipinski regaining some form again, been good last two weeks.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Hopefully we should have the forward line to trouble them, particularly Elliott and Ginnivan could cause them problems, as the Hawks defence is their weak spot, particularly with smaller forwards....

 

[Go Woods]

No change.

 

[sr36]

JDG so timid he put Weitering out of the game.

Probably should get 3 votes. Injuring Weitiering alone made him the most influential player, plus he had a heap of score involvements.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

DeGoey has had a strange year
Hasn’t dominated any game, yet has been consistently ok/good.
Think im enjoying the latter
Thou I like him around the goals

You are arguing, and have clearly put in effort in this so called “pointless” argument. All I said was he played a different and his bigger body wasn’t as effective today when replying to you initial post but you got offended and had a hissy fit.

The coaching staff love him so he’s a good chance to stay, won’t argue against that.

 

[coolidge1000]

Pendles’ leadership is so important that he’ll be picked even as his abilities slowly wane.

I think pendles biggest issue is he's still looking for the perfect target like he did in his prime 5 years ago.. he's still a bloody good player he probably just needs to realise he's dropped 1 or 2 Percent and look for the easy target rather then the 1 in a hundred he can hit

 

[deano_66]

Ginnivan will be the interesting one. He didn't look anywhere near 100% today could barely chase and especially some instances later in the game were he was clutching at his hammy. Was surprised McCreery wasn't subbed in

Other than a couple of weeks after the flu, I think he's been excellent. He's playing attacking side of the pack, breaking things open and getting involved in lots of scores. A bit messy with the footy at times today, but generally very damaging.

Guys bagging DeGoey’s game?
What???….

It's every week. They could play him in a traditional follower role and he'd get 30 possessions every week and everyone would be happy, but they're playing him in a more damaging role ahead of the ball where he can split the game open and get involved in a heap of our goals. I think he's having a very good year, except for a couple of quiet games post flu.
