Preview R11: Changes vs Eagles

[kirky]

Need the great M&M combo to step up deliver....

And the first thing my mind went to was chocolate.

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks is insufferable

 

[George Kramer]

Putting in but not getting the job done, what an absolute ****head.

 

[MRB37]

Nicks is insufferable

Dude coaches like he's in a Disney movie and if he backs in a group of scrappy underdogs they'll defy the odds and win a Premiership.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Nicks at a presser is basically like "If we won all the games we lost and players who played poorly played well we'd be a pretty good team!"

Are we the only team this logic applies to Maffew

Mighty Ducks, not that I’ve ever seen it

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Yeah the white bib videos mean nothing, that’s just training drills.

Do we have people on the bench at training for these drills?

If we don't they'd have to shunt 4 or 5 across to the Bs anyway

Do yourself a favour...

Has watched The Mighty Ducks too often.

 

[1970crow]

As someone who had the surgery, I'd recommend anyone go without if they can. Mine was much worse after the first reconstruction.

I had mine in year 12, absolutely no problems afterwards at all. Although, are all surgeries the same? Mine was a Putti Platt.

 

[BACCS]

Nicks keeps referring to age, but that doesn’t mean much when guys like McHenry and Jones are still young. Nothing changes with our experience in terms of age if Dowling, Curtin and Taylor are given opportunities.

 

[1970crow]

I think Cook should stay in the side. Lack of noise states minimal changes.
The season is over time to play rookies.

Mathematically we can still make the 8. And even when we can’t, they’ll wheel out ‘selection integrity’, ‘running patterns’, ‘shape keeping’, ‘experience’, ‘non-statistical role’ or some other nonsense as to why we continue to stick with fringe quality senior players.

The Mighty Ducks Crows

 

[Chances Are]

With this stupid statement how can anyone take him seriously? SACK HIM RIGHT NOW

 

[Dangerousfield]

I'm so over the crap that they speak, DNA, experience, older players, way we want to play, keeping shape, running up and down the ground, it makes me want to puke. Confident we can make finals needing to win 10 of 13 games

I'm almost wanting Eagles to win - just to shut down the bs analysis wheeled out weekly to justify continued selection of players that will never be AFL standard, let alone AFL finals standard that is up another notch.

We don't win the tight games because we carry too many non AFL standard players. Players who make poor decisions under pressure and don't have the skill level to execute at critical times. Ever thought that might be the reason Nicks?

This is shaping as another wasted year, wasted getting games into players who should have had their papers stamped already, rather than getting games into younger players

 

[radiojake]

I thought Pedlar needed surgery??

 

[BACCS]

Nope

I mean even Sloaney is training still and appeared to be in the ‘A team’, so don’t think it means a heap

 

[fuic08]

I had mine in year 12, absolutely no problems afterwards at all. Although, are all surgeries the same? Mine was a Putti Platt.

My first one was just a labrum repair. My first game back, blocking a handball popped it out.

Had a Bristow Latarjet after the next 10 dislocations.

 

[MRB37]

Remember when Nicks said he learnt about just having 22 guys out there who'd put in effort and that'd win you a game not always being the case?

He didn't learn at all.

Was expecting this, even though I would prefer Gollant.

Schoenberg for Rankine?

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Rankine a HUGE loss this weekend.

Kicks 2 or 3 as a minimum and sets up 2 or 3 as a minimum.

Effectively missing ~6+ goals for this match alone with him out.

 

[maxlilly]

I'd love to see Taylor get a game this week
