Preview Changes/Preview – Round 13 vs. Collingwood

[Daemon]

Probably, but in what world is he more deserving of a game than Tomlinson though?

Sure, his best as a KPD is better, but it's been a long time since we've seen that now. Should be made to actually earn a game.

Goody just seems to like tormenting Tomo. The guy never gets a good run and is dropped as soon as someone Goody likes more is available.

I'm quite happy if Petty is moved back but by crikey I'm gunna rage if he plays forward.

 

[Daemon]

I also think Disco sucks as a forward but with McAdam dropped there is really no one else.

 

[Topkent]

Dropping McAdam seems ****ing dumb to me. Obviously not part of the Goody favourite club yet

Hes been absolute garbage, but yeah, when you bring the guys we brought in it seems pointless. Dropping him for Tholstrup or Sestan and I could have got behind it.

Would also be ok if others were held to the standard but I could have guessed Tomlinson and McAdam would be scapegoated without even looking
Never gonna drop a regular just drop fringe blokes to make a 'statement'

 

[Topkent]

Lol I ****ing hate this club. Lose by 100 and we rotate a couple of fringe blokes out lol that'll teach them!

Yeah this is the issue. In a vacuum it’s fine to drop McAdam, but considering he doesn’t ever drop a senior player it’s just him scapegoating the bottom 6 each week after a bad game.

 

[jhong]

Still can’t work out how Billings get a game .

35 inside 50s or whatever we had and you drop a fringe back and forward. No accountability in the middle of the ground

 

[omit]

I have to imagine the reason Tomlinson got dropped is that Collingwood only have 1 forward taller than 6 ft 2.

 

[Deelighted]

We've dug into the why and it turns out it was McAdams fault

McAdam I knew it was him! Even though it was our midfielders getting smashed, I knew it was him.


OK I'll stop with the simpsons references now.

 

[Topkent]

Lol I can picture the selection meeting. Goody walks in an slams the table
" This is our environment and we need to fix it"

Richo- Ok goody let's talk some names, what about Petr

Goody - "Nope"

AR- Ok what about Oliv

Goody "Nope"

AR- Ok ok fair maybe too big, what about Spar

Goody " nope"

AR- Ok... (Checks who was last picked)
What about McAdam and Tomlinson

Goody " now that's contest and defence, get them out"

AR - What?

Gawn- 14 other teams would be proud of that statement

Meeting ends

 

[Crusty Demon]

These changes aren't it FFS.

I mean I get Tomo and McAdam being dropped. Pies are short up front and Tomo doesn’t exactly play the Lever role. McAdam has not looked up to it since he came in so needs to find form at Casey.
Not convinced on going back to the well at this stage with Billings and Laurie. Would’ve played Woewy a full game and wouldn’t mind seeing Tholstrup again.

 

[Toump Ass]

King Petty with his highest goal tally in a month, in a game with only six inside 50s, can’t drop him on that form.

Expecting a nice fat bag of four or five tomorrow!!

Yeah obviously Woey has done something to piss Goody off. He's not a superstar but is solid but continually gets shafted. And poor Tholstrup, plays one game which wasn't terrible and nope, gotta go back to VFL for #learnings until Goody remembers he exists.

Selection integrity is an absolute joke.

 

[Daemon]

Meanwhile Oliver, Viney, Sparrow, Petty even Fritsch get selected week in week out but hey let's drop Tomo and get that absolute spud Billings back into the side.

 

[Daemon]

Oh and forget to have a functioning forward line. Just play the 2 natural backs up there, they will be fine.

[Demon Attack]

I stopped worrying about our wacky selections a couple years ago but this week is particularly offensive. Just so disappointing for so many reasons.

 

[MarcMaverick]

One of the reasons that as a coach you are not allowed to have favourites, it breeds complacency and stagnation. Hard and bold calls need to be made. Simon doesn't have the minerals to do it, and he also surrounds himself with "Yes-men" .

 

[melbun]

He has the videos.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Yeah this is the issue. In a vacuum it’s fine to drop McAdam, but considering he doesn’t ever drop a senior player it’s just him scapegoating the bottom 6 each week after a bad game.

Goody has encouraged everyone to be vulnerable this week though. That's a leadership and a massive statement.
