Preview Changes & Preview Thread versus the clowns

[Coobk001]

It's more like if they get ops it's season over now.

That's why I guess I hope they're right. Still 6 weeks till the QF, plus we were locked into top 4 a couple weeks back. Surely 6-8 is enough to get back. If not, then they're right. We're going to struggle though if they aren't performing in September.

Well give up & go and hide under the doona with PAFC66

Thats a hell of a username

 

[Gryllis]

So why'd we rush Lycett back so early when Hayes was still fit to play? He was clearly still not fit, and now after just 2 games is out again at round 20.

Seems like he needs to be as close to 100% as his body now allows to play well. Anything else and he's just about worst on ground.

Very unclear what our ruck plan is for finals. There's a good chance Lycett isn't fit at some point in September.

I first read this as under the Donna.

 

[TeeKray]

Should've just gone with no ruck and picked another runner.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Hayes is injured. He wasn't available for selection...

 

[JimmyBC]

Narkle's non selection while not earth shattering seems a tad odd, I'd have him over Evans and he's also a good sub option.

 

[Festerz]

I'm not convinced that's the best available team we have

Yep. Neither am I.

But happy to accept the fact that we are managing a squad to get the best out of them in finals.

Which is possibly a 8 week series of games from now.

Buckle up and get used to us fielding teams that aren't as good as they could be for the remaining games.

Dont remind me of my stupidity pls. Chief will get a new lifetime subscriber when he finally vacates the club.

Disagree. Visintini just needs to compete. Our midfield is way better than there's. One legged Dixon and Finlayson playing Ruck robs Peter to pay Paul. It hurts our structure and potentially kills Dixon. Visentini is the only option...and the right one.

 

[MrChow]

I’m all good with Visentini getting games. Basically every AFL ruck needs at least 50 AFL games before they are at the level. He has to get games somewhere

 

[Mr Experience]

Visentini in is the dumbest selection call this year by far.

 

[Jonts]

I think Boak as sub is a brilliant option cause him fresh you can play him as the midfielder of 2 years ago

 

[Del165198]

Load up on Reilly O Brien to be BOG and break the all time supercoach record

 

[Portmagpies36]

I really thought they pulled Fantasia out the Sanfl for this week lol fck me put a line through forever.

Felt pain in his quad in the warm up last week and they decided not to play him, not even named in the SANFL this week! The guy is literally stealing a wage struggling to think of a more disappointing recruit.

Except he isnt that midfielder of 2 years ago. Absolutely every aspect of his game is deserting him.

Maybe he'll start kicking straight?

 

[pastmyprimus]

There's a small bright side to Visentini's selection. At least it's not Teakle.

 

[Handyandy]

Happy Lycett and Boak are getting a rest. Rob may well kill Visentini.

X to doubt

Yep pretty much the grand total of this guy was a 4 goal final against Geelong. Trade, delist or catapult into the sun I don't care anymore.

Plan?
