Preview R16: Changes vs. GWS Giants

[cleanhands]

I hope Balme comes in and looks at Nicks like I look at my boots after I step in dogshit whilst mowing the lawn. Pure disgust.

My gut feel it will be short lived

I like that we're continuing to play Himmelberg whenever available despite the fact that he is leaving end of season, and we tried to get rid of him as not good enough for us last season

6 guys in our 23 who aren't signed for next year + Keane who is rumoured to want out.

That's not even including guys like Smith, Burgess, Borlase, Gollant and McHenry who we've all used this year too.

We still ain’t sure.

I’d suggest the papers for Gollant and McHenry are stamped.

But it is very much in the short term interests of those in charge.

I mean, it's ****ing not even.

These clowns are so bad that they don't realise that no amount of dead cat bounce wins now will stop fans being furious at this season. The only legitimate mood lightener they could offer is reason to believe the future could be better. I.e. playing the likes of Curtin and them showing something.

And they're too ****ing pig stubborn to even give us that.

I think McHenry will get another year. They'll be reluctant to bring in too many picks this off-season and just with the sheer number of guys out of contract, Sloane retiring and guys like Berry looking elsewhere they'll keep a few they don't particularly rate highly.

Nicks would probably be pushing to keep him behind the scenes too.

Wow what a treat for Taylor to be listed as an emergency. Bet his parents are over the moon with pride.

The way I saw Dawson's interview was that he was backing the non-elevation of SANFL guys. The bit about 'everyone' performing allows the excuses ie 'non-statistical', 'experience', 'leadership', 'shape keeping' etc etc.

There would have been a crisis meeting with Shuttleworth and the narrative outlined. Everyone has now fallen in line.

Would hope they are getting worried.

I’m all Murphy and Nicksed out I can’t be bothered tuning in

 

[Redline]

Make no mistake - the rest of this season is firmly about face saving for the like of Nicks, Kelly, Silvers etc....

Narratives will be carefully crafted interlaced with lots of veiled excuses, caveats and blame shifting.

Even losses will be viewed as 'learnings' and spun to be that we are 'not far away'.

I heard Blighty say on Sportsday during the week that we have been missing 6 to 7 of our best 22 from the team each week.

 

[rabidcrow]

What else does Taylor have to do....deserves Murphy's spot

Totally agree. But then there would pages of the game day thread complaining we have played him as a small forward and no midfield time….

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

Dead and buried.

 

[cleanhands]

Dead and buried.

AFC is like putting the garbage out each week and it never gets collected

At least you only have to shut your eyes 8 times a game.
