Preview R16: Changes vs. GWS Giants

[arsene wenger1]

The ongoing non selection of Curtin is just ****ing mind numbing and soul destroying.

The fact that he can’t make this extremely average side makes me think more and more that he’s leaving tbh. I mean how can you not make this team right now at this stage of the season

 

[Crow till I die]

Going home

I wouldn't blame him the way he has been handled

 

[1970crow]

What is the chance that Dowling won't be sub? Can't be Sog, Hamill the 7th defender and Berg pinch hit ruck leaves Murphy v Dowling.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

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

Out: J.Borlase (omitted), K.Strachan (omitted), H.Schoenberg (omitted)

Predictable & uninspiring.

Nicks said he wouldn't play youth & he stuck to his promise.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

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

Get a new coach with a clue about talent!

 

[Southerntakeover]

We have two players playing from our last two drafts, and we're bottom four certainties. What the absolute **** is happening?

Himmelberg is off but he's making the side

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nicks doesn’t care about the club, only himself.

Yet by playing players who are regularly not performing he is going to end his own tenure.

He is that stupid!

 

[srv23]

Just ****ing **** off Nicks. Bottom 4 on the cards and still can’t manage a debutant. Murphy survives again. Pathetic club wallowing in mediocrity. They deserve a sub 30k crowd.

 

[bigman]

We’ll win this week too. Unfortunately

No we won’t. GWS is one of many teams we cannot win against anymore

 

[Crow till I die]

If i was taylor and saw murph continually selected instead of me even getting a look in, i'd be on the phone to my manager to see if there is another club that wants me and will give me a chance that this club flatly refuses to do

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So much for not giving games to guys who don't deserve it

Dawson & Nicks have very different opinions!

Shit's ****ed

 

[dogs105]

Facebook has again cheered me up.

We need to drop Rachele and look at younger players.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Is there any other sport in the world where a club could be bottom of the table, have spent two first round picks, and have given them a collective one game's worth of play out of a potential 28, and no one in the media thinks there's something wrong at the club?

Even worse, your third pick is at 27, and he's unsighted too.

Like, what an absolute shit show of a waste of resources.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The continued selection of Mackay, now there was a melt we could all get behind and bring the board together

I would take 22 Mackays before Murphy.

[OldCrowBloke]

Nix said “no need for wholesale changes”. He has been true to his word, but when oh when will this recurring nightmare end???

 

[cmndstab]

At least I can understand the internal logic that sees Curtin not selected, even if I don't agree with it.

But what possible explanation can be given for Taylor's continued non-selection? Carving it up at SANFL level week after week, while the players he would replace fail repeatedly at AFL level. We've extended his contract despite him being yet to debut late in his third season. If not now, then when?

Literally the only coherent explanation which can be given is "despite what we say, we give no credence to SANFL form whatsoever."

Out: J.Borlase (omitted), K.Strachan (omitted), H.Schoenberg (omitted)

Berg straight back in?

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Can't wait for Dowling to be named Sub too... Will cap just cap things off nicely....

 

[Danger Zone]

The continued selection of Mackay, now there was a melt we could all get behind and bring the board together

Honestly, would take Mackay every day of the week.

Pessimist, couple of things go our way and could climb over Saints and finish 14th.

 

[1970crow]

Dawson & Nicks have very different opinions!

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.
