Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 6 vs. Essendon, MCG ANZAC Day Sun 25/04 @ 3:20pm

[Matrix10]

Cal Brown will stumble into the worst 100 game career since Jake King

You can`t compare King and the gifted games boy Brown , Jake King has 2 X top 10 finishes in Richmond`s Best and Fairest , little boy Brown is a favourite son witches hat

 

[TradeDraft]

Not like for like Dave imo.

Not all Dropping and Bringing In has to be Like for Like

 

[Billys Back]

WHE playing......thoughts Billys Back?

No comment

 

[eth-dog]

It looks like we're doing Zerk-Thatcher and Phillips in for Waterman and Ridley.

 

[ZEV]

He is not soft because he is a good runner. That makes absolutely no sense

Tell me, how long each week do you spend above the lactate threshold?

 

[domus]

Doubt Bucks cares what you want.

Ouch! What a zinger!

 

[legendstatus]

Yeah looks like the inclusions will be Kelly, Murphy, T. Brown, Rantall and WHE.

The fact we rated Murphy at pick 6 in the 2017 draft if Stephenson wasn’t there and eventually got picked up by us at pick 39, is an indictment on our recruiting team

That’s all I have to say!

I'm 100% sure that his teammates and coaches see what he does. Not sure about you though.

Yes. I never notice one percenters, tackles, smothers, hard running to harass or pressure, knock- ons, shepherds, sacrificial acts. I just count the kicks!

Oh there be more to say on our recruiting shizenshow , Aaron Naughton says hi.. such dipsh!ts at the club

 

[jackcass]

Darcy Cameron literally gets dropped after every game he plays - how is a bloke gonna develop if he never gets a decent stay in the team?

He's never played just 1 game and then been omitted at Collingwood. So literally no.

In 2020 he played R2-3; R8-9; R11-14; EF-SF.

I'm not an advocate of exposing players to a restricted run of games but Cox didn't deserve to be dropped IMHO. Cameron didn't do enough to retain his spot. Cox has greater potential to impact games forward of the footy.

So with Adams, DeGoey Greenwood and (presumably) Sier all out, who exactly is going to win the necessary clearances for us?

Technically Sier isn’t an OUT coz he was injury sub last week.

But not getting a call-up after his 9 possessions and 3 marks in Q4 is interesting. Sier’s solitary handball in Q3 and zero tackles for the half must have really pissed-off the coaches.

I find it curious that Sier’s 10 touches in two quarters was deemed less valuable than Cal Brown’s 11 touches in four quarters. Sier’s pass to Moore alone was worth a recall in my book.

In any case it looks like Sier is now seen by the coaches as too unreliable. I feel he’ll struggle to get back into the team from here. Hopefully he’ll be shocked into action - but I doubt it.

Sier was brilliant on the 4th when he was I. The middle. Were he should be

 

[Capital Magpie]

Because Cox is no good plan and simple

You're hell bent on Cox not getting selected, aren't t you? What will you do if he gets a gig?

Macrae and Rantall.

 

[jackcass]

Hard to imagine that they'd make any changes beyond the five that are forced, unless someone put in an absolute shocker last start. I don't think Cameron's game was bad enough to see him dropped, nor Cox's VFL performance strong enough to force his way in. You might get your wish in coming rounds but not this week, I reckon.

Just finished watching the VFL game against the Bee's and I was expecting Cox to have had a shocker judging by what was being posted on here. Yes, he only kicked 2 goals 1, but could just have easily had 5. Kicked 1 OoF from a set shot, kicked another to deep into the FP from 45-50m, and took a nice mark about 70m out, played on and ran through 50 and actually passed to Henry who was running back into the goal square (his point). Add that the F50 entries were atrocious. His ruckwork was also good. The issue wasn't Cox's game, it's that some will never see whatever he does as enough.

 

[unplugged]

You'd be silly not to have a little dabble on Pendles to win another medal.

 

[LuckyLee]

Macrae and Rantall.

Asking a lot of two kids playing their third and first games, respectively. Hopefully Cal Brown, playing his 55th, will save the day.

Could still end up being the medical sub Sunday, even if named in the VFL.

He did two fifths of **** all got two lucky frees and outside of that was unsighted for almost the entire game outside of 5 minutes in the third where he got a few kicks. You set the bar incredibly low for him

I’m sure his 9 disposal 65% efficiency game will be the Difference

 

[domus]

If Cox was 200cm would he keep getting games? The bloke is a great guy, really likeable, but he isn't our answer.

If Pendlebury wasn't an elite user of the ball and was Blair's size would we keep playing him?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Yo, this club is a joke. Same old.

He should never have been dropped in the first place when he was doing a lot more than two fifths of fu** all.
