Preview Changes: R19 v Carlton

[Scorpus]

Another week, another request for a cleanout.

Out:
Walker - cooked
Jenkins - not good enough
Atkins - not good enough
Mackay - terrible
Hartigan - mediocre
Murphy - zero goal sense for a forward
Laird - found out, awful disposal, terrible season
Greenwood - great for 10% of the game, invisible for 90%
B. Crouch - needs to get fit and run defensively for once. Needs a SANFL stint or trade

In:
Fogarty - should have played at least half the season already
Himmelberg - better than Jenkins
Gallucci - shouldn't have been dropped
Jones - should have played nearly every game
Butts - should get a run given what he's shown, even if it's for just a few games
Hamill - speedy player, give him a go
Stengle - never should have been dropped
Davis - playing only one game was unfair
Ellis-Yolmen - straight back from injury

Most of these ins should have already played significant AFL time this season

B Brown - Talia - Kelly
HB Smith - Keath - Hamill
C Seedsman - Milera - Gallucci
HF Jones - Fogarty - Lynch
F Betts - Himmelberg - Stengle
R O'Brien - Sloane - M. Crouch

I Butts - Ellis-Yolmen - Davis - Knight

Knight and Kelly only saved due to injuries

 

[hey shorty]

Harsh on JJ and Brad, I'd like to see Matt go first.

The rest.... why not.

Who'd have thunk we'd be staring defeat in the face, coming up against Carlton. Yet here we are.

Carlton are $2.53 for the win. I'll be getting on them before they become too skinny to be worth a bet.

Oh, and before the game even starts, I'm so confident of a loss I'm gonna say "I told you so" right now.

Come at me if we win.

Jenkins is not good enough and won't be here when we're next contending. No point giving him another second in our AFL side.

Brad is fat, lazy, only tackles in tight congestion, doesn't run defensively, struggles to run offensively, has lacking goal sense, and poor disposal by both hand and foot. Needs to lift MASSIVELY. I'm sick of watching him hack kick forward, run forward then handball backwards, kick to no one, miss targets. This bloke is a key to our midfield and I'm not getting bullshitted by 35 touches any more. He needs to be dropped and set the standards of a modern AFL footballer, not some backyard amateur hack out on the ground for a bit of fun

Matt is slow and limited, but at least he understands his limitations and has a clearly defined role at AFL level to play to his strengths. I also think his disposal and decision making is leagues ahead of Brad and fine for his role.

Matt doesn't run. Period.

Not forward, nor backward.... Nothing. If I was to have one of them in the side it's Brad every single time.

I hope you're drunk.

Dougie was good in the first half I thought. Disappeared after half time though

 

[footy4ever]

Eddie is done. He is ineffective against good sides.

Time to make a tough decision on him.

Eddie, plus Tex (and I've been equally his biggest fan), Douglas, Jacobs, Dmack.

Talia is getting perilously close to being the slowest player in the AFL - not sure how long before the 'cooked' label cuts in.

 

[Bay62]

End of the year they should make Rory sole captain and say “It’s your team now - lead it”

As good as he’s been it’s time for Tex to step back and let Rory do the job on his own

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Brad Crouch is the next Gold Jacket winner, surely no one expects him to be dropped.

 

[Scorpus]

I hope you're drunk.

I'm not.

Brad Crouch should be as good as Dylan Shiel. But from 23 touches compared to Crouch's 35, Shiel had a bigger impact on the game.

When have you seen him run through the middle of the ground straight towards the 50 and dish out an effective long kick inside 50? Has he done it even once this season? I saw both Shiel and a slow Zach Merrett do it tonight.

That's what Brad is supposed to offer.

Sloane has been dog shit lately.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Shiel can't kick for shit either, he's been criticised literally his whole career because of it.

 

[Bay62]

Sloane has been dog s**t lately.

I know but I still think it’s the right move

 

[footy4ever]

That's how bad this league is, we will fall into the 8

That's the only way we'll get there.

 

[Scorpus]

Guess who has a lower career kick efficiency?

Shiel - 59.0%
B. Crouch - 54.6%

And this season?

Shiel - 54.2%
B. Crouch - 50.4%

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I know but I still think it’s the right move

Should have happened this year to let Tex focus on his footy, another wrong call.

Drop back players and win the premiership..............................






In the SANFL.

Matt's must be worse.

Agreed

We don’t need co-captains. Only did it to not tread on Tex’s toes

I’m not sure he would have been worried by it, he’s team first enough to say “do it”

 

[Scorpus]

Get ready to be shocked

M. Crouch career - 57.6%
M. Crouch season - 59.7%

Miles ahead of Brad

Not hard to hit 15m sideways passes.

Too many poor ball users in our midfield and funnily enough the best one at the club won't be there next year (Gibbs)

 

[Scorpus]

Not hard to hit 15m sideways passes.

Hitting 15m sideways passes is better than kicking directly to the opposition or handballing backwards to a guy under pressure

Which Matt does.
