Preview Changes/Preview – Round 13 vs. Collingwood

[schmuttt]

Feel sorry for Gawn tbh. Has been one of our best all year and has to go out there and cover for the rest of the useless plodders and our hopeless coaches.

All while Goody dodges any real questioning in the pressers and Roffey stays incognito.

Makes me so mad he gets actual tough questions (The Triple M segments are actually good) and this ****ing fruit loop coach gets softball questions every week.

Melbourne have been a joke since 1858.

Personally I blame Tim lamb

Got a theory on Olivers form.
It's actually Jordie McKenzie.
Hes covering for Oliver so Clarry can go get on the gear for the rest of the season.

To be honest wouldn't mind 2010 Jordie McKenzie in this team. At least he gave a crap in a crap team compared to our 'good midfielders' that got belted on the weekend.

I don't think one player is responsible for us going from 4th to 11th for clearance differential. And that's before today's stats are added into the mix.

Not unless there is unrest in the camp.

 

[SugarHealey]

My guess is Hunter out for billings, if JVR is good he comes in for turner.

yeah, thats about it really... says it all doesn't it.

 

[Lord Nev]

Not unless there is unrest in the camp.

Ah right, it's not the game style or the fitness of the players, it's because they're grumpy at someone that our clearance game has completely changed. Makes sense.

 

[SugarHealey]

Is it true we moved Fritsch to the backline? That's awesome if it's true.

Remember when fritta played back for a few games. to get him to chase and to defend... that was too long ago.
I think maybe fritta has forgotten that message.

 

[SugarHealey]

Just had a flick through the fixture and we play North, GWS and Port at the G on saturday nights. Will we get 60k combined to those three games?

Next week is a collingwood home game as well. Our average home crowd numbers will be diabolical compared to the last two years

How in hell did the Piss get to be partners in OUR K/B game.???

It never ever was a collinwood game. so why partner with them.!

 

[SugarHealey]

usually Id agree with you but with Collingwoods season in a precarious position I really ****ing want to win.

We need preferential picks to them at end of year... if we want to start to get out of our list strife.

I am feeling like put the magnates away and play newbies.

 

[SugarHealey]

I thought we played well against the Saints. Sure, not perfect, but well

We did.

I thought it was one of our better defending performances. And then we lit them up in one Qtr, blowing them away.

Agreed..kind of agree with Max in that we're inconsistent right now. Which is unusual because you could always rely on a strong contested and defensive performance and it was rare we'd lose by more than a couple of kicks. So clearly we're trying different things and with personnel not deep, it's bringing on inconsistencies that weren't there before.

Are you talking about the home game thing? If so, why shouldn't it be shared?

 

[Bluelegs]

Very unfair we don't get to play Melbourne on Kings Birthday.

Last week was consistent. across the whole field. all were crap.

And to that extent, imo, there is trouble inside the camp. Just a feeling, but after the saints game both Viney and Max were on the bench at the end, and both gave one another a walk on by. no hug or handshake.

I see Viney as a hard taskmaster, and max as a diplomat. So with the growing lack of effort from a few it wouldn't surprise me at all I there is friction going on.

This was my impression following the Saints win... and then the freo game happened. it was a massacre all over the ground.

too many player have been missing in action over the past couple of years. langers was one who seemed to vanish for 22/23... but is back this year. Oliver has gone way offff.

fritsch just likes to look at the big screen, and then put his fingers over his high hair.



Just an ongoing saga of players not buying into the team winning concept.

Queens birthday was always Melbourne's home game.

Then Edie somehow betwixt the Demons to share that fixture with them.

Yeah, but why shouldn't it be shared? Collingwood did us a favour for many years.

 

[Big Bryza]

Got no idea who's going to win this one.

Pies by 92 points on current form.

Probably given we'll have no Spargo or Smith.

Bailey Smith is a big out.

We're our own most formidable opposition most weeks tbh.

 

[CTHORANGE]

agreed, it also makes it a bigger fixture overall if it's shared, why would they continue to care about it if they never got to host it

 

[CTHORANGE]

I've been on the 2 tall forwards plus Fritsch bandwagon for a long time, but to be fair ever since we went from 3 talls down to 2 we've been total garbage starting from the WCE game. So in saying that, BBB come on down and join Petty and JVR up front. Turner will place defence. It's going to happen.

I'd find it hard to believe Vines and Max would have beef with each other. Not saying there isn't internal issues. Maybe this is another Bailey moment where the players are saying they've had enough? Who knows. We won well 2 weeks ago, so I'm not sure it runs too deep. I just think the list isn't good enough now and the new gameplan Goody is trying to implement just isn't working with this group.
