AFL Toast RND 13: Win Against The Blues

[jannissary]

12.2 from set shots. 1.6 from non set shots (Menzie's first)

our set shot kicking has been great this year, perkins is accurate af when he gets it, wright hasn’t missed a beat

 

[Mootsy]

I think Weid is a great player, but clearly in a rut kicking for goal, hopefully he can some good practice preparation in for after the bye.

I made mention of this in the game day thread, Hobbs and Caldwell showing fwd ability sure means we can play them fwd more when Shiel, Parish and Setterfield return. Moving Snelling, Menzies &/or Guelfi out of the side when needed.

If im to keep any of the latter three in, Guelfi, he can mark, he can pressure and he can link up.

Menzie is a 20 year old small forward who's kicked 15 goals this year from 12 games. We aren't dropping him anytime soon

out of everyone back there BZT impressed me the most, he kind of got outplayed last week but he came back fairly well and kept mckay quiet with the single goal & 2 shots total.

also isn’t it funny how the one time mckay kicked a drop punt it went straight through the middle? maybe kicking around the corner like a halfwit isn’t the best idea

Must admit, I did laugh out loud when his snap around the corner from no more than 35m out didn't even reach the goal line

Who the hell thinks we are a contender fgds? Like Zach says you have to celebrate small wins. Yes we do butcher the ball and I do believe over all we look like a more sloppy team this year than recent years past from an execution standpoint.

You know what I believe Brad has given them? A license to take chances and if they do fu they won’t be punished for it. I know it’s not pretty but I do believe he has got the absolute best out of this mob.

Great, we are competitive. I'd just love to see us as a legitimate flag contender after 20 years of fodder.

That settles that then. If/whehn all fit we'll play any or all of Shiel, Setterfield, Parish in the twos then

Where did I say that? I'm just pointing out that Menzie is very unlikely to be dropped.

You said "if I'm keeping any of the three it's Guelfi" mate. That heavily implies that you'd drop him.

 

[boncer34]

Everyone forgets setters

No, he's not in Parish and Shiels class. Hence not mentioning him.

IF

and as mentioned in his player thread, he has a ceiling greater than Guelfi so would almost keep him in first

You literally said it.

You said we can only carry one of the three. You then proceeded to nominate one of the three, which wasn't Menzie. Sorry for thinking that you meant you'd drop Menzie.

Disagree all you want Yoda_ but you literally said when Shiel, Parish and Setters are back we're moving Menzies out of the side.

Went last night…what a game. Weather was perfect also. Traffic was a c**t though.

Good to be semi-chill for the last quarter for the first time in a while and just enjoy the atmosphere. They seemed solid…feel like they’re all clicking together which is good to see.

Carlton are f***ked if they move on Voss…kick straight and it could have been another Dreamtime scenario…

Watching the replay with a coffee this morning was a treat

trying to get out via richmond was hell if you were heading east, 5 lines (2 of the busiest) put onto a single platform was ****ed

Just a beautiful day, eat at The Rising Sun, bump into Dean Rioli and politely ask if he’d have a pic with the young fella, very accomodating Deano, had to explain to the boy that this is Essendon royalty.
Wander down to The Cricketers, catch up with old Bomber mates, into standing room, absolutely electric in there, “ is there a fire drill “ ?
Superb day/night.
KBE ! Oh what a night.

having a preference and dropping are not the same things in my eyes which is obviously where this confusion reigns

Disagree all you want Yoda_ but you literally said when Shiel, Parish and Setters are back we're moving Menzies out of the side.

now you're just being a dick which is why I didn't bother responding to your initial response. As I mentioned in Jye's player thread, I almost would prefer him to Guelfi such is his ceiling.

keep up if you want to throw rocks in glass houses champ

What glass house? I stand by all the dumb things I say.

You said you'd drop Menzies, Ethan called you on it and now you're having a massive sook. Weird.
