Preview Changes vs. Richmond Tigers R13

[1990crow]

Two more years!

Now, I ain't sayin' hes a gold digger

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Where did you see Curtin with Covid? He was sitting right next to Dowling in the team meeting yesterday

Apparently training in isolation?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

other than McHenry being in, is why are we playing Keane, Borlase and Butts? We are way too tall down back, not sure why we couldn’t drop Borlase/Butts for Curtin?

 

[BACCS]

Already looking to our changes next week… Tex back in for McHenry, Rankine for Berry and maybe Murray for Butts or Borlase (hopefully Smith out for Cook but as if that’s happening)?

Perhaps we try Keane or Borlase up forward?

Curtin doesn’t help with your height issue there

 

[BACCS]

Perhaps we try Keane or Borlase up forward?

Nah, I just think Dawson will play largely forward as a way of managing his injury before the Sydney game, then back into midfield when Tex returns. Having Tex, Rankine and Murray potentially all in next week excites me.

 

[Trigger13]

Same source for obrien and smith?

Yup. He’s adamant the cook injury changed everything late.

Hard on Borlase. He had 2 coaches votes last week. Curtin should be in over Ned.

 

[BACCS]

Apparently training in isolation?

Ah ok didn’t hear that anywhere and was definitely not isolating yesterday

 

[FR0GGY]

Yup. He’s adamant the cook injury changed everything late.

Fair enough.

 

[NSolis]

Apparently training in isolation?

Interesting, I did think he was a chance of coming in, guess covid would ruin that.

Do we know what's up with Cook?

 

[Alwaysacrow]

This is the week McHenry is going to finally turn it around and become an AFL footballer. I can feel it. If not this week then maybe next week.

Never. He's had multiple chances and failed. The best he'll do is have a better than average McSpudry game against a poor opponent. He is de-list material.

 

[MRB37]

Yup. He’s adamant the cook injury changed everything late.

Guess we may find out next week if Smith stinks it up again.

 

[jackster83]

There’s never a time to boo your own player just because you don’t think they should be selected

I agree.

Save the venom for the coaches and officials.

 

[FR0GGY]

Ironic that McHenry will leave due to Nicks decisions and Nicks will get the sack for decisions like yo yoing players like McHenry.

 

[FR0GGY]

Ah shit dowling out with Covid next

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

McHenry in, literally what in the **** are they doing. The guy isn't getting another contract - why play him?

It's better for the club if we get steam rolled.

This is what baffles me.

Sure, give him a block of 3-4 games at the start of the season to see if he can offer anything (we all know he was never going to, but I can justify that).

Not only was he given a month too long, he's been brought back. If you're a fringe player who's OOC and is dropped mid-season, then that should be it, but Nicks brought him back.

He has no concept of forward thinking, he's predictable and displays no creativity. How can anyone expect to move forward with a coach like that at the helm?

 

[TRP1996]

Hopefully Ned is starting as sub - better him than Dowling (or anyone else on the bench).

Then we just have to hope the ****wits don’t sub Dowling off.

 

[CrowBloke]

I’m pretty sure the late cook out has saved smith.

And ruined my reputation.

Nah, you're good

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So are we going to mix up our line-up?

B: Michaelanny, Butts, Hamill
HB: Nankervis, Borlase, Hinge
C: Sholl, Soligo, Dowling
HF: Schoenberg, Fogarty, Keays
F: Murphy, Keane, Dawson
R: Strachan, Rachele, Laird
I: Jones, Berry, Smith, Burgess
Sub: McHenry

 

[CrowBloke]

I'm all for giving Nicks the benefit of the doubt, but how exactly did McHenry force his way back in?

Mackay found one last videotape, sent it to McSpudly.

 

[Gtowncrow]

I wonder if the club actually realises that they would get a much easier time from their supporters if they just backed in their young players, warts and all, and ran with an attacking gameplan?

Like, the losses aren't the issue. We've been losing consistently for nearly a decade now, we're used to it. The issue is that lack of any coherent vision for the future.

Show that to us and we'll lap it up and beg for more.

Outstanding...
Succinct...
Correct!!!!

Don't know... hopefully we don't have covid going through the club.

Sprained his knee at the end of training apparently.
