Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Semi Final vs. Fremantle, Saturday Sept 10th - 7:25pm, MCG

[TheGreatGrundy]

I think it's got to be Sidey Josh or Lipinski to replace Adams's centre square time Macrae just doesn't look ready.

Personally, I'd bring in Kreuger - Bianco and Ruscoe the other options.

Josh has done well before in the middle and is certainly an option. Lipinski I am not so sure about as he seems an outside player, but he is a decent size and impressed at times last night with his decision making and willingness to take a hit. Ruscoe is only an option to me if his inclusion releases Maynard to play as a mid.

I doubt any person, close to Brodie would sympathise with your vacuous justifications and excuses, for what was clearly a joke in extremely bad taste.
And surely that is the litmus test.

So no jokes or derogatory comments about anyone, because someone close to them might find it offensive. And anyone assumedly including Robbo, Chris Scott, Kane Cornes, Scomo, Xi Jinping. What a politely boring and dangerous world you seek.

Could we play Elliott mid and bring in Henry/Freddy?

I think I was very clear that it was the offensive poor taste that’s the issue.

At no point have I included ALL derogatory comments in my criticism. That’s simply your transparent attempt at distorting the facts, to suggest I’m being unreasonable.
I think I’ve made my point, and your digressions, add nothing of substance to the debate.

Browns VFL form has been equally as good as McCrae’s, so he’s definitely in the mix.

If I see Callum Brown in that team I will not watch it he shouldn't get a game in the regular season let a lone a finals game. Brown is nowhere near good enough he tries he hard out but if you're that small you have to be elite at something. He doesn't have a tank, can't mark, can't kick over 40 metres and isn't a skilful kick and makes a ton of errors. Comparing him to Macraes game is laughable obviously you mustn't watch, because Browns 30 touches are irrelevant and he has played approx 50 afl games and has never had an above average game.

MMM on the radio will call the game for you so you dot miss out.

You've made it clear that you think it was offensive, which is fair enough. Others clearly don't share your offense.

If it was innately misogynistic, racist or homophobic your offense would be shared by many and current social norms would result in it being deleted, but it wasn't, so it's play on.

Brown is the worst player in the competition, apart from maybe his brother. If either of them are playing then we're out in straight sets.

I don’t think one less viewer is going to hurt the ratings.

 

[sr36]

The change I want is Ginnivan getting front and centre for those kicks to the hotspot rather than looking for space for the hit up.

Crap comment. Have any view you like on selection but why insult a player like that?

It wasn't meant to be a 'ha ha' type of joke. More like trench humour.

But I'm thinking that any comment on the variations of humour might be lost on you, at least when you're swathed in self-righteousness.

This is correct.
Posters who choose to be offended and self righteous do get on your nerves.

Because he's terrible. Brings nothing to the side. He played in our 3 worst losses this year, v WC, WB and Syd. Missed our entire winning streak and the final Carlton game. Why on earth would he even be in the discussion for selection in a final? We've got so many better options, anyone is a better option. We're not running a charity here, this is serious stuff.

 

[HFF]

Krueger and Henry need to be considered
We are a tall player down and with Mihocek playing lame we see two tall players down
Cox having no impact in the air makes it 3 down…

Carmichael for Adams is a no brainer

You called him or his brother the worst players in the comp. Piss weak comment from a keyboard warrior. Bet you were a real playa in your day.

Feel free to link me to a game that they tore up like their old man did. They are list cloggers. Yes obviously they are a lot better than I was but this is the AFL and it's finals' time, let's get serious about who we put out there. They shouldn't be in the discussion.

You insulted them needlessly. Piss weak. I would tell you to give yourself an uppercut but I am guessing you couldn’t land it.

If we win next week and Brisbane lose, can we play McStay in the Prelim?

I don't see why not. Bring in Mitchell/Taranto/Hopper too.

 

[woosha24]

The majority of the West Coast board will be behind you blokes on Saturday. Wouldnt mind seeing your mob clinch it this year out of all the remaining contenders.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Play Krueger and Henry

Need fire power...

Once again, you called the Browns the worst in the comp. It’s a piss weak comment. Screams of a bloke who hasn’t done much in life.

I think it’s up to you to offer stats that they are the worst players in the league, if you want to support your foolish comments..

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Krueger is very mobile. I don't think his presence creates any issues with the two ruckmen playing as well.

It does when he can't be relied upon to win ground balls. At this point Kreuger is a project player. A very exciting one, buy still a project.
