Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs West Coast Eagles + pre-match discussion

[sumavich]

Big game for Longmuir.
Lose this, no finals, and he has one year after this to go on contract.
He doesn't have a flag to cover him, like Simpson

[FreoRicci]

The hype for Amiss and Treacy is a bit much, this week especially.
Amiss v Barrass is a bloodbath waiting to happen. Treacy v McGovern. McGovern will relish that match up
Tabs will stay as he’s the only one that can pressure Barrass in one on one.
Jackson isn’t going to do anything up forward.
For the team to win, Tabs has to play, as much as it is painful. Amiss had two kicks, one after the siren to the umpire. He isn’t ready

Fyfe has to play.

Otherwise this time next year we might have Brett Ratten

Already confirmed out.

Already confirmed out.

Is that new or from JL's presser on Saturday?

yeah, post game presser.

Where's the No s**t, Sherlock emoji?

Well seems like he’s getting a free run from the media. Team is playing shit, I thought more media would be on Longmuir. But thanks for your feedback, it’s been noted

 

[Square Peg]

yeah, post game presser.

I think they've revised it since then and he's a maybe

 

[Son of a Wizard]

yeah, post game presser.

Since then they have said he might play.

Kingy is making it his personal mission to sprout enough negative press around the club and JL for the rest of the media combined

 

[Shoeless Joe]

Assuming we're preferring Wilson as a defender at the moment, I'd be very willing to experiment with Brandon Walker as a small forward. He has all the attributes (bar goalkicking I guess because I've never seen him try) to be a very dangerous small forward - explosive pace, good core strength, evasiveness, strong tackling.

Sorry but you cant use the words experiment and JL in the same sentence..agree with you but wont happen

Doubt the club waits until into next season to make a decision tbh.

Either he goes poorly and we sack him towards the end of the season or we re-commit to him over the off season.

 

[AFL Nut]

Amiss and Treacy between them have played 8 quarters of footy this year for a total of 3 marks, 3 kicks and 1 goal.

The more experienced players havent exactly set the world on fire so not sure how you expect the less experienced to

 

[AFL Nut]

sh

Amiss should play every game. Every game.

Treacy is a low pick. He needs to earn it. At this current time he needs Wafl. Treacy is very overrated on here.

shouldnt matter what draft pic you are. You should earn it

Agree Tabs has to play to take either Barass or McGovern

 

[Big Animal]

JOM to mid-forward position. Kicked two goals in a short time when placed in there and out-biceped a defender to the take the marks. Could also kick the goals from distance under pressure. Hasn't really been doing a lot in the midfield either.

No, just joking, that's BB's position.

 

[Purple Jesus]

yeah, post game presser.

He's already said he was wrong there.

Talk about being confidently incorrect.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I honestly think Cox going forward has been the answer staring us in the face amidst our KPF woes and I will remain on this hill until proven otherwise.

JL finally threw the dice last week and got a goal out of it almost immediately. Could we conceivably see Hammer come into the team and Cox forward?

Really? So he conjured a goal out of chaos and he now is the forward that we should pin our hopes on.. So what has changed since he last played forward. Maybe he plays better behind than in front. Don't see him outmarking his opponent 1 on 1 if they bomb it in. His goal kicking wasn't great either

 

[Footskill]

Mundy reckons it was the mids getting dominated.. I tend to agree

 

[sumavich]

Change the mid structure then. If Longmuir keeps the same structure and we lose, his card is marked

 

[royale with cheese]

I’d drop Wilson. Don’t see what he adds. Walker has his faults but he’s better at defending

Natural forwards tend to conjure goals out of chaos. His first season as a forward also compared favourably to Charlie Curnow who debuted at the same time.
I was at a match sim last preseason and Cox dominated as the deepest forward for his team. He reads the ball drop well, has a big body and is very skillful. 20-30m out from goal he can be very dangerous.

who takes his spot in the backline then?
