Preview Rd 18 Changes and pre-match discussion vs Hawks @ Marvel

[Passmore]

Ahh that coveted sunday twilite slot, sheesh how i long for us to become relevent again.

It’s worse. We’ve got the Sunday brunch timeslot.

 

[The Nostradamus]

No Phillips is taking the piss, surely.

Luckily for us clarko is back next week to fix this

 

[year of the roo]

Did those lamenting no Philips even watch his game? Wasn't impressive.

He was best on for mine and the vfl coaches (as per coaches votes)

 

[Passmore]

Howe on extended bench warming up for Clarko to get him back in the starting 18.

Bad take.

He was among our bests and received the consensus VFL coaches votes.

 

[So You Think]

Willard not in? Did he have a black eye from a training mishap or something more sinister. Something not right there

I reckon that 'shiner' is the reason, it looked pretty nasty in the pic and I wouldn't think he'd want another head bang so soon.

Aside from the fact that one coach had him as the best player on the field, and the other coach had him as the second best player on the field, I agree, he was rubbish

He’s as much chance of getting a knock in the 2’s.

Lol 1pm is almost to early but the game is done by 4.30pm so you can grab or cook a good dinner.
4.40pm timeslot doesn't give you much time to grab something on the way home and cooking something is a bit tricky that late.

Is it confirmed he's playing in the twos?

Doesn't mean he did enough to earn a recall.

I didn't say he was rubbish.

Your posting, now that's rubbish.

 

[muttley45]

Come on Arch, stake your claim for a backline position, and seize it

 

[Lomas]

To an extent, I understand what you mean if the plan was to give him a couple off weeks back in the twos to build form.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Hawthorn into 1.45 now - bookies thinking those changes not flattering to North.

Not often the 16th placed team playing away is 1.45.

Away? They're playing in Melbourne where they are based.

Such a tough side to break into

I'm not ready for footy on a Sunday until after 3.

Whatever makes you happy, mate. Point is, you can hardly begrudge people on here for questioning why Phillips wasn't selected

This makes the most sense. But then again, if he's not right to play AFL, maybe he shouldn't be playing VFL? Let's wait and see if he gets out on the ground in the VFL team.

 

[Higgo2Froggy]

If anyone's feeling a little too happy with how life is going and wants something to bring their mood down a notch, one look at that extended bench should do the trick.

I think we've (generally speaking) looked better when we've gone with a smaller, more mobile backline - Hawks don't exactly have a land of the giants forward line so on paper it should be fine.

On Phillips - our mids got smacked around by Geelong and Will had 30, 8 tackles and 5 clearances in the VFL so it's a little odd he's not even in the squad. Perhaps he didn't fancy getting demoted from the VFL to the seniors?

 

[Kangaroos techno]

Papers stamped

Always were.

If he didn't come in when Corr and McKay were out against Carlton he's never coming in.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Howe I can understand, he has been in pretty bloody good form in the VFL. But I can’t understand Taylor being an in, he has been deadset average in the VFL since he got dropped.

No Dawson suggests he’ll be first or second delisted come the end of the year.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Begging them to play both Archer and goater. Would be a nicer freshener to the backline.

At least the AFL listed players have had the winning feeling in some VFL games this year. Beats 14 straight losses.
