Preview Round 13 Changes & Pre-Match Discussion vs Western Bulldogs at Marvel

[chiwigi]

Well that's fair enough, because we have never ever played anyone a little bit down on form.

Down on ****ing form!!

He's been moved left right forward and ****ing centre!!

The man is our best defender by a country mile and so skilled that we move him to forward if someone gets injured!!

What the actual ****!!!


I am proper melting here!!!! PROPER MELTING!!

 

[Grave Danger]

JOSH SINN: Riley Bonner will most probably take the tactical substitute role from Sinn who is in line for this third AFL game after a horror start with injury.

"He has not had an opportunity (by injury) and we have given Josh a great chance this year," Hinkley said. "Our conditioning team and medical staff have done a great job to get Josh to a spot where we think he has a clear run at it. He makes us potentially a much, much better team. He has power and speed. We like to have speed on the floor. But Josh has a long way to go."

Hinkley always has to throw in a downer. Did it with JHF too.

 

[Alberton Proud]

I don't mind making players earn / keep their spots
Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen

 

[Alberton Proud]

Also, I think we'll drop this game
We are due for a loss

 

[OneGreatClub]

Burton out!

Weird

 

[Lefti93]

It's refreshing and I somewhat respect the calls being made on senior players. On the other hand I haven't thought Burton has been bad enough to warrant a dropping.. At the very least it will show the playing group no one is safe. Structurally, could have an impact for us this week though.

 

[Jimmy95]

Burton will probably be the sub.

Yes good point, I didn't think of that. Unfortunately a player has to be dropped before they can be in as a sub.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

That's a fail, Rooch: AFL Tables - Free Kicks

Off topic, but West Coast has managed to maintain a positive free kick differential. Pity frees?

 

[ibd77]

Burton doesn't deserve to be dropped. Put him back into is preferred position.

 

[MrChow]

Burton is the best sub we’ve had since…. DBJ?

 

[tribey]

Yes good point, I didn't think of that. Unfortunately a player has to be dropped before they can be in as a sub.

Either way I don’t think he’ll play a full game anywhere this week. ‘Rest’ was probably the way to go given his injury history.

 

[Ateen7tee]

Last time Burton didn't play, Rankine ran amok..

Last time Burton played against the bulldogs Weightman kicked 4.2

Playing Sinn is comical from Hinkley and the match selection team. So much for rewarding players in form......nah let's just bring a kid in to see how he goes. This club is a Joke!!

Your son sucks, sorry

 

[Incarnate]

Burto not getting a run is bit odd personally.

 

[Del165198]

Sinn in based on... The vibe?

Bringing in our two oldest slowest players for the fast marvel deck.. ok

 

[Incarnate]

Down on ******* form!!

He's been moved left right forward and ******* centre!!

What the actual *!!!

Yeah, but… whattaya really think?

 

[VineValerian]

Yah.
A couple of weeks ago when he was out of form, maybe.
But not on current form!

 

[jdeezy]

Not sure about the Burton non selection but I like that were giving Sinn a run, and Boak and Dixon are both good ins.

 

[Coobk001]

I have to assume Burton is being given a half off as a rest.

The line of "We just wanted to get some game time into Sinn" doesn't really add up. Despite what you think about Sinn his form doesn't stack up to a replace Burton level. If we're trying to win, we're surely picking Burton. If he isn't carrying something, then it is 100% us trying to be too cute with selection and I'm convinced when you start doing that it will backfire on us.

It's a bad statement selection that now has me thinking our chances have gone down.

 

[JimmyBC]

Feels a bit like smartass selections it will probably backfire.

Strong username to post disconnection.

 

[jakey]

Burton getting dropped on form, when it took till last week for Jonas to get dropped is batshit.

On one level I like the ruthlessness we're finally seeing from the coaches, but we're structurally screwing ourselves over to drop a guy who really hasn't been that bad. Indeed he was excellent till about 2 weeks ago.

 

[davesnothere]

Sinn and Burton completely different players.
Sinn was always staying in as he should we know he's a gun who will click at some point.

He will not play Burtons role. He is not a Burton replacement.

It's not Sinn vs Burton.
