Prediction Changes Round 15 vs Essendon

[joeyavalanche]

I thought it was a bit of a dorky term when I used it, but it highlights the obvious.
Yes, blind freddy is used outside the footy world..not heard of joe the goose before?
You know how it is, terminology, speculation, opinions, gossip and cliches go around and round in BF, circulating, contaminating, influencing and finally flushing down the effluent outlet by the sea...
Anyway, might have a bit of a team together again this week. Not crowing about wins but if we can do a similar job like last week, then thats another solid step forward - bearing in mind Cats are a top 4 side and the 'experimental lab rats' are only 2 rungs above us?

Wasn’t having a dig at you, it just brought it to my attention how much it’s used especially by footy commentators.

Whenever someone handballs it over the top to an open man in the goal square it’s always referred to as a “joe the goose over the top”.
(Looking at you Luke Darcy)

So much rewashed footy vernacular in commentary.

They brought in Daisy Pearce to give a womens perspective and some alternative to the blokes but she’s probably the most cliche of the lot!

You can add ‘claret’ for blood, ‘genuine leg speed’ and ‘sold the candy’ to that list.

All are clever when first used, but every commentator uses them at nauseam now

Blind Freddy has been around the traps since Jesus was a boy.

Not sure if that’s inside info* or just a bold call he hopes will come off and make him look like Nostradamus**

Half-hearted resistence there!

After being burnt by the Dogs game last year and Swans game this year, Simpson admitting it was a mistake several times and then successfully bringing Sheed and Yeo back through the WAFL, to then immediately bring NN back into the senior team would be such poor judgement, even taking into account how much I love NN on a deep, deep level.

NN straight back in is a no brainer. I’d have him in the side with one arm and put money on him having a bigger impact than Williams.

I disagree.

a. he is in our top 5 players (couldn't resist that one...)
b. he doesn't play much more than 60% TOG anyway, so managed minutes are less of an issue for him as they are for others

 

[KERRPOW]

Nic only plays half the game when hes fit....gee

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Williams and Jamieson have averaged respectively 68% and 58% time on ground in the last couple of games, so I guess it’s not like we don’t already have a ruckman on the bench most of the game.

'Inside Goss' sounds like a much less popular version of the 'One night in Paris' video

Where is the vomit reaction option when you need it...

True. But after he met Jesus he became known as Freddy...

FFS the club is sometimes off the mark on things it's so frustrating.

Why are we playing NN this week? Intention should be to lose this week and secure pick 2.

Now's not the time to talk about the "synergy" bull crap and play the "kids". **** the balance, just play the kids and tank for gods sake do not win this game. Get nothing out of it.

Loser mentality.

We can (& should) win this game, yet still end up with pick 2 since Essendon are 2 wins and over 20% ahead of us in 16th, so really 3 wins.
I think we need to win this game for nothing else than to re-build some morale among the group & reward the sickos like me who turn up each game.

Mate i hear ya, but we don't need morale wins. We aren't Essendon who haven't won a final in two decades. We won a flag 4 seasons ago.

Hate to say it but if ever there was a game to put the cue in the rack it's this one. Once that unpleasantness is out the way then use what's left of the year to rediscover form and fitness.

Have you seen an advance notice team sheet or something?

 

[Balls In]

Nic won't play, surely not. But that said there's no benefit playing him the WAFL either. Another hard week on the track and good to go next week.

A half done NN gives you more than Bailey Williams has been giving us.

I would normally agree - but not as if NicNat had much endurance or speed prior to being out.

As sponsor of Bailey Williams, it is time to use the rest of 2022 to see if he can be a KPD or KPF (did both roles in U18 at Dandenong) because he is adding very little as a ruck.

Star player likely out ....could be number of players my guess is Josh Kennedy .
