Game Day Preseason Game 2 vs Port

[s_wd6]

Oh so we still ignoring my previous comment listing positives because it didn't suit your argument?

You can "observe" but others are over sensitive towards the nothing game?

Fascinating.

Mate I don’t care about what you said. Your comment just happened to be the latest one in the thread relating to that crows poster so I quoted it saying the whole board is jumpy and upset at the poster because they’re too upset and worked up about a game that means nothing. If we had won the same people would have been interacting with the crows guy in good faith and actually indulged his questions instead of abusing him.

You can let it go now

 

[fnerd]

So we still all in on the “wouldn’t trade Treacy for McDonald/ McDonald is a waste of capital when we already have Treacy train??



One good thing about tonight is hopefully it’s put to bed that type of absolute rubbish talk once and for all

There’s a reason the club is going so hard after Lmac and it was all on for show tonight .

Wallsy virtually never wrong on his player assessment and certainly isn’t on this one.

If amiss is injured for any noticeable amount of time this season we’re firmly bottom 6 material

Well that's not remotely true, but if you don't care, then that's cool, quote the right person next time. Bye

Well, we won the clearances, got smashed by the umps and turned the ball over way to much for the conservative game style we were playing, I’ll assume JLo is going to say “that’s not the way we want to play” but we had absolutely no answer for their overlapping run from behind, despite everyone knowing that’s how Port play. I know it’s just a preseason game but there were some very concerning signs.

 

[Gimme the Fyfe]

I'm glad I was there and saw that from a distance because on TV it must have looked horrific.

From what I saw - Fyfe is slotting in nicely and Young smashed it again. Simpson looked smooth with the ball.

Also -

'There were gameplan problems from day one..'
'It looked like there was no game plan.'
'That was the problem.'

Edit: The liqoured up Port fans were a hideous sight as always.

Kinda proving my point anyway

 

[Taylor]

All this talk with an Adelaide fan and nobody mentioned McAsey instead of Young at pick six... guys..... gentlemen.... please.

It doesn't, but continue to be stunning and brave defending a troll

 

[theGav56]

I am almost certain we are going to see the same useless long kick ins against Brisbane, and half of them will get marked by Brisbane and the other half get spoiled 20m back towards our goal.

So disappointing.

 

[freo_leo29]

I like Amiss but feel you need someone like McDonald.

I'm a big fan of bringing in McDonald but its a braindead take if you think McDonald has shown more than Amiss right now, Amiss is also a year younger.

McDonald is the sort of player you build a forward line around.

Amiss is that player too but I feel he’ll be even more dangerous if the opposition genuinely needs to think about who to put their best defender on.

There aren’t many defences with two gun key defenders (with one being athletic enough to go with Amiss) - Then throw Jackson in there are well.

Treacy’s ceiling is what Matt Taberner did at his very best around 2020/2021 imo. It’s AFL standard for sure but it isn’t much better than that.

 

[freo_leo29]

Guy is just here having conversation…why so defensive

Having read the further posts, its pretty clear its trolling

People brought up Amiss and then he said "Jackson is a ruck", after he was already informed about Amiss not playing

Normally I’d be with you on this but no one wants some neutral supporter coming on their board an hour after a loss (even preseason) and telling them what their club needs, it’s really dumb and serves no purpose. Doesn’t help when the take is stupid because our two best tall forwards sat out

AA Squad standard*

AKA top 40 in the AFL

If Treacy gets to that level I'd be stoked, especially drawing the first or 2nd defender

 

[freo_leo29]

Need to recruit a forward you can build around.

We have one. Amiss.

We did...he didnt play.

Jackson is a ruck.

Clearly trolling from this chain, already informed about Amiss and then says Jackson


Also you can tell they don't know their footy as they think we would waste Jackson as a ruck.


Dunno why there are some defending them on here, if you're going to come onto someone else's board maybe don't continually get things wrong (IMO on purpose as its a troll)

Just don’t indulge then?

 

[Geoff]

I’m not on the “It’s only a Practice Match” bandwagon. You go out and deliver no matter what and tonight we had a couple of spuds that will battle to get a game at Peel. All I saw tonight was pretty much poo.

Hey bud your teams one Dawson injury away from genuine bottom 6

Your midfield is the equivalent of our fwd line .
Your backlines on par with norths

Just make sure you look after curtin properly.
Don’t want him all banged up when he returns after his 1st contracts up

I.e every Vic media personality (and old mate Cornes)

Very true but even when Taberner was there he was averaging around 1.5 goals a game. I think that’s the best we’ll ever get from Treacy tbh.

This has been my opinion for ages btw.

Seems a bit repetitive listing turnovers and intercepts as seperate metrics

Tabs had like 37 in one season, it was over 2 goals a game, lemme check quickly

averaged 1.8 in 2020 (shorter quarters, could bump that over 2 in full length games)
averaged 2.3 in 2021
averaged 1.8 in 2022


Thats a good KPF for the AFL, Tabs couldn't keep on the park though, If Treacy can reach that level and stay on the park then I'd be very happy to pair him with Amiss. (I'm all in on McDonald if we can somehow do it tho)

 

[gaskin]

Treacy is not a KPF. I said during the match he needs Amiss and a resting ruckman taking the two KPDs to be effective. His best work is done when the ball is in dispute and not as a lead up forward or even in a marking contest. As we saw tonight, bigger KPDs can easily work him off the ball.

Treacy is still only fresh 21

I know we get antsy these days but he has years of development left in him

Its pretty clear that his role at AFL level is as a KPF (possibly KPD but he has to fail a couple more years to try that, or be replaced)

Tabs was good for like two 15-20 game stretches.
