That's not how prime time TV works

Played 1 game . Heaps of spuds before him .

I like Hall and hope he stays in. I just thought he might show a bit more effort.

 

[ferball]

I believe that this will be our first night game at the MCG since the 2014 Semi Final against the Cats, and the first during the H/A season since Round 7, 2010 against the Pies.

AFL is a joke.

 

[Horizons_00]

Greenwood (for Cunners, needs a rest)
Shiels (for Phillips, go back to the VFL)
Wardlaw (for Howe)
Laz or Drury (For Turner)
Bergman (Mckay)

Hall was ineffective and I reckon he also destroyed Sheezals opportunity to get the ball. Plays the same role?

I know none of this is going happen and it’s depressing because it almost feels like the Bard era lol we need to set some standards early

Anyone know what end of the ground our seats will be this week?

He's so hot

I'll be surprised if we get within a 100 points.

We were neck and neck with them until time-on in Q3 and lost by 48 points last year. Despite everything, I refuse to believe we’re worse than we were back then.

I wouldn't be against bringing all 5 of those guys in this week, because we have a need for all those roles; midfield grunt, small forward, tall marking forward.
I can't see Warlord being selected this week though, not ready yet.
I do expect them to select CCJ though because Goldy will need help against Gawn and Grundy.

Ridiculous, given we literally invented night time footy at the G.

 

[Frank Thring]

OUT:

McKay - show some urgency and get some form in the VFL. A liability at the moment
Turner - adds very little
Howe - a nothing player.

IN:

Bonar - not ideal, but better than McKay at the moment
Wardlaw - clearly the most talented not playing.
Perez - someone else deserves a crack

was the most disappointing. You would hope that a guy playing VFL for the first month would relish the opportunity to show that he deserves to be playing AFL. I am not even sure he wanted to be out there..

I’ve always been a great supporter of Azza in the past. Sadly, we appear to have reached a stage where he’s a bit of a problem for both our VFL and AFL sides. In the VFL, he literally hogs possessions to the detriment of other less experienced players. In the AFL, he largely took over Sheezel’s role and Harry went missing. I know that might have been a coincidence and I believe Harry was sore… but, still. Overall, the team is out of kilter at the moment. I’m hopeful it will start turning around soon. Once our backline gets more in synch and Cunners gets a couple of more games under his belt + Jy, we should see a big lift.

For mine, Cunners will benefit far more by playing this weekend. He’s getting better every game.

Ins outs who-t-f-cares. If Dees don't turn up we lose by 60+, if they do turn up 100+.

 

[Sticksphat]

Are Bergman and Goater interchangeable like the Curtis and George quintet?

Goatman & the Berger?

 

[Devington]

Urgh, I keep changing my mind on whether I want Clarko to rip the bandaid off and go with mass changes.

Rip it. What’s the point of being so risk adverse when we’re being thumped to shit atm.

We won’t know until we try

I'm confused why Greenwood has been consigned to Siberia. Started the year well then had a down patch but came back and posted a pretty good cameo. But suddenly he's the team selection fall guy.

I don’t think he even had a down patch.

Seems like he is the victim of trying to squeeze Howe into the side.

I know which one I would rather have in there and it’s Greenwood by a country mile. Greenwoods versatility and strength around the contest is miles above anything Howe brings to the table.

 

[footy2016]

Never thought I’d say it……. However is it not a coincidence that our 3 best defensive games this year came with Bonar as a key defender? Don’t rate him at all, however maybe he’s just one of those guys that fits Clarkos system?

Remember that Holman tagged Harry, and that Harry's carrying two niggles that we know of. I thought Hall was fine. His only bad moment was that handball to Powell where he failed to draw the defender and allowed the Suns to force a turnover where they really shouldn't have been able to.

In an ideal world, at least in my eyes, Hall plays wing and we leave Harry at half back. We desperately need pace in that area of the ground and Hall is quite clearly quicker than Scott, Taylor and Tucker.

Pace is an asset we severely lack and purely based on that, there should be a spot for Hall that doesn't take away from anyone else's game. I hope he stays in for the rest of the season and that the coaches figure out a way to use him that benefits the team

He straight out betters our best 22 coming in over Howe or Turner (at the least) regardless of respective positions imo.

On top of that he provides grunt to relieve Cunnington and Simpkin and allows the former to go forward.

That's before adding in his ability to play relief ruck which helps keep Comben forward.

Just don't get it.
