Preview R16: Changes vs. GWS Giants

[GROTTO]

What is this ****ing nonsense, he sounds like David Brent FFS......

Sounds more like Michael Scott.

 

[GROTTO]

We've told you before - stop posting nudes

 

[cmndstab]

someone needs to tell Nicksy that the season is now into round 16.

WE need to be trying NEW people WHO ARE PLAYING GOOD SANFL FOOTBALL NOW!!!

NOT IN ROUND 20 or later

We do this every damn year. We finally get some kids in the side right near the end of the season, they look good in the 2-3 matches left for them to play in... and then by the time the next season starts, we've forgotten about that end-of-season cameo and they go back to square one.

It's extremely frustrating as a supporter. I can't even imagine how frustrating it is as a young player.

True, Nicks will always be the inferior version....

Just realised we are about to have 3 home games in a row - and will probably lose all 3. That’s not cool.

Since when is the Gabba our home ground?

Yep, classic example.

2023 - Keane finally selected to play the final five rounds, is not selected for round 1 2024.
2022 - Worrell finally selected to play the final four rounds, then doesn't feature until round 11 in 2023.
2021 - Cook finally selected to play the final three rounds, is not selected for round 1 2022.

And even for players who are then subsequently selected in round 1 the next year:

2021 - Murray, after a stuttering start where he was an unused sub three times in his first seven matches, finally gets a block of six games over seven weeks near the end of the season. Plays the first two games of 2022, then dropped for seven weeks.
2019 - Fogarty finally selected to play the final four rounds, plays the first three games of 2020, then dropped for six weeks.

Hes talking about the Richmond and Sydney Losses + This Week vs GWS, 3 Home Game Losses in a Row.

 

[GreyCrow]

The commentary would have been around " now you know what you need to work on"" instead of praise and congratulations for stepping up it's negative

Soligo - sub

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

They have PTSD from playing McAsey, with additional flashbacks from playing Curtin.

You’re not wrong though.

I reckon this is a big part of the reason it took so long for Woz to get a regular game. Was taken in the same draft as Fisher.

 

[texanmike]

many melts incoming very soon, im strapped in for selection

Glad you typed that without any errors

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Although I believe Mr Nicks will enter politics after his footballing career comes to an inevitable end, he seems to struggle to read the room…

Surely he has heard the crowds and must know he needs to make changes - why oh why does Murphy, Smith, Jones, and to an extent McHenry continue to be selected - it’s not a feel good ‘everyone gets a prize” competition we suck and we are losing.

2024 is a bad dream but at least use the rest of it to move forward and prepare for 2025.

 

[1970crow]

Soligo - sub

Went from not fit enough for a full game to punching out more TOG than both Laird and Crouch afyer just half a game and a few run throughs.

 

[CrowinNT]

I miss the Mackay Thursday Night melts, good times on here.

 

[CrowinNT]

1970crow crow does too

 

[Scorpus]

In: T.Walker, R.O'Brien, E.Himmelberg

[walterhobbs]

Murphy the guy with 100 lives

 

[Crowstar]

I actually hate this selection committee more than the administration

 

[40porpoise]

Season is absolutely dead and buried. Where are taylor or Ryan or Curtin?

 

[Executive Landlord]

Uninspiring shit club

 

[Crow till I die]

Where in f**k is Curtin!!!.. What about Taylor!!!... Why aren't these guys coming in now that finals is gone. What possible excuse is there to not bring them in

Jesus Christ
