Preview Rd16: Changes & prematch discussion vs Gold Coast

[Moti]

Josh Williams has to be a chance. His run is sorely lacking.

 

[Route57]

why do people want daw out?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Play him.

Now.

For this, A good game for Walker to debut

think Hibberd ahead in the same position

Hibberd's form has been as good if not better than anyone currently in the vfl team

 

[Moti]

why do people want daw out?

For me, I am actually annoyed at his lack of offensive play. His defending has been on par with Tarrant and Thompson for the most part but he just has none of the attacking nature he had a few years back. It limits him as a player

 

[Only Forwards]

Well, there it is:

View attachment 520579


Swans v Cats
Dees v Freo
Eagles v Giants
Bulldogs v Hawks
Richmond v Crows (11th)
North v Suns
Scum v Filth

We can get in and clear out by a game next week.

Losing this week was shit.

Doing it on a week were those around us also lost softens the blow significantly.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Play him.

Now.

Most hyped debut since Ahern for me, it'll be a good first game against the Suns for him.

 

[Harris 10]

Larkey needs a crack.

If you don’t play him this week then he ain’t getting a crack this season.

I'd say the opposite - because other teams around us were losing it became a massive opportunity for us today to push for our first top 4 finish under Scott - and from there we know anything can happen.

We had it all to play for today and we squandered it - what the other teams losing now means we are still a chance for the 8 - but that is small consolation when there was a real chance to push for the top 4.

 

[scottywiper]

Any chance Waite gets up?

Nein. Weeks away, if at all.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Okay

In: Durdin, Walker, Jacobs & Waite
Out: Daw, Clarke, Murphy, Wood

I like the outs but I’d rather go a untried McKay than Durdin. I’m pretty much ready to put a line through him.

McKay didn't play today

He's injured.

 

[TheKanga]

Whatever happened to Josh Williams?

 

[shinboner spiggs]

McKay didn't play today

He's injured.

Would still probably give more than Durdin.

In Nielson.

 

[shinboner magic]

In - LDU, Morgan, Zurhaar, Preuss, McKay

Out - Wood - inj, Daw - managed, Turner, Hrovat, Murphy

Good calls but I’d replace preuss with larkey - can’t really have 2 slow 200cm players in our forward line.

 

[nicko74]

McKay didn't play today

He's injured.

Wasn't he named on the extended bench leading into this game?

 

[archereleven]

If we drop this game it's time to play the kids. All of them.

Also play Simpkin as a crumber

 

[Caracas]

Most hyped debut since Ahern for me, it'll be a good first game against the Suns for him.

Have a look at Karen - she's getting very excited thinking about Will getting his debut...

actually makes it much worse for me... 4 points lost... could have been 6th playing GC next week.. massive chance lost

 

[Only Forwards]

We could have lost and every other team coulda won.

It's not the best case scenario, but as I said it softens the blow.

Josh Williams has to be a chance. His run is sorely lacking.

Played well in the vfl.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Out: Wood (injured), Hvorat, Daw and Murphy

In: Larkey, Walker, Jacobs and Morgan.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Also note not only is a win NEEDED but we must beat them resoundingly, up that % big time. North needs to blow them out and not be caught in the percentage slide if it wants to secure a Top 8 spot.

 

[Gasometer]

For me, I am actually annoyed at his lack of offensive play. His defending has been on par with Tarrant and Thompson for the most part but he just has none of the attacking nature he had a few years back. It limits him as a player

That’s because he can’t down back without giving the ball up/turn over

Notice every time he exits the backline it is a safe kick

I think that’s how they manage him
