Preview Match Sim v North @ AIA - Wed Feb 21st. 10am. 4x25min

[ElliottsMaggies]

IQ Been poor in 1st Half

I'd expect he's spending more of his time having to direct the more inexperienced defenders down there .. no Howe, Bruz, Murphy, Moore.

 

[eyeroller]

It's a new rule we don't know about yet!!

Maybe they've decided to introduce a handicap for him

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

I'm still trying to figure out how Nick got penalised for holding when he was in front of his opposition player.

Don't stress.

Ignore the umps, the decisions and the score!

Focus on what we care about.
Effort in the contest and cleanliness on offense.

Both of which are very much down on our in season effort.

....and no injuries!

Nick was astonished.

 

[Aussie pie]

The unfortunate or fortunate thing about have a pretty good run with injuries last year apart from the talls is we haven’t got the games into the next level of players. Not complaining as we’re premiers but the next level need to step up or look for a new home.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

Reef looked dynamic that half.
So did AJ. Just didn't finish.

Kruegs looked serviceable as the main target too.

Ryan looks 'neat'....but that's it. as someone said earlier, he has a low ceiling in my book.
disappointed with Carmy. Basic mistakes cost us badly.

Nick was astonished.

So was the crowd, was behind the goals Pies end when there were 3 in row too high, players were laughing, Raza was looking at the umpires around him to see if anyone was going to pay a free and they didn’t. then blew for the free. Unbelievable!

 

[Johno9911]

Was thinking the same
Wonder if we can squeeze them both in?

I think we can considering we typically ran 6-7 forwards in 2023 (Mihocek, AJ/Mcstay/Frampton, Elliott, Hill, Beau, HH/Ginni, Adams).

If this year we look at going: Mihocek, AJ, Reef, Elliott, Schultz, Hill, Beau - it is basically swapping Adams for Schultz and going for a taller option in the place of Ginni?

Well it is a practice match for the umps too.. they're not going at full intensity either

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Reckon Ed Allan looks the goods.

 

[Apples]

If McCreery gets more time in the middle, he'll kill us with his lack of first touch class. Fumbled badly. When he did charge forward, he kicked the ball at the feet of the charging forward.
Quaynor had a shocker, but to be fair, the ground defence was all over the shop in the second.

 

[Roverjg]

The North fans out here are thinking we're taking this game seriously, lol

The North twat beside me feels that our players are timid of them. Hahahahahahaha

My head canon is that Fly instructed the umpires to look after North to test our players patience and see how they deal with it lol

Is that a typo or a new expression that I've never heard?

It's known as the Daicos handicap

Larkey is the new Curnow. Free kicks everywhere.

 

[Apples]

Hope FOX doesn't have plans to use Lily Mithen as a commentator other than in these hit outs. Boring, dead-pan, monotonous voice. Insights OK.

His kicking at AFL level has been okay. I wouldn't be judging him off 1 praccy match as a lost cause.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

good news from what I’m reading that Reef and AJ are putting their hands up and Kreuger going ok too. Creating the good type of selection problems we want.

 

[Apples]

Sullivan and Bytel start the third. N 67 Col 41

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Free kicks are insane at the moment hahha

 

[danielnajdek]

Hahahahaah these umpires.

 

[eyeroller]

Are we being super undisciplined or?
