Unofficial Preview Round 14 vs. North Melbourne, Marvel, 1:00pm Sunday 16/06

[Bianconeri]

Who comes in though? Markov out, someone is coming in.

TJ, Reef or Allan the sub I guess.

I could be wrong and it’s a straight swap for Markov and TJ with Bytel or some else the sub.

TJ getting a debut would be cool as

I’m also sure the “gettable” talk won’t come back to bite them at all lol

WOW! Very surprising. I reckon they think Markov might not get up in time and have named him to cover him in case. Very excited to see how TJ plays!

or if markov does play. TJ sub with Bytel out of the 23 altogether. Or Markov sub and TJ starts?

 

[unplugged]

Gee I'm keen to see what this kid can do. A lot on here would say he could do with more time developing physically but it'll be interesting to see how he goes, even with plenty of scope to improve in the future.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Amazing

Pumped for him

 

[CheckerTrade666]

This has been a really strange year for us so far, but I have to say that the best part of this year has been seeing all these new players get opportunities, even better that most of them have done really well when given an opportunity.

Excited to see how TJ does!

 

[Unknown Identity]

Really excited for this debut!

Kid has AFL traits, whether it's too early or not will be the question.

Let's go TJ!

Remember that horrible game in (2019?) where Cunnington just ran rampant. They were 12th and we were 4th. We were beaten by over 40 points.

On paper they're a terrible side, on the field it's never that simple.

I think we'll do enough to win, but I'm still nervous especially at Cocklands Stadium.

Bro... just vomited in my mouth. Every time I make pizza before a game, and don't go to the game I have brought tickets to, we get done. Especially games at docklands. So, I'll be there on Sunday, especially given its north.

That game was the last time I've seen North competitive in any facet, and I don't plan on seeing that again for a while. Let's just slaughter them and then we can get to the bye with blokes come back.

Phaaarrrrkkk... why did you have to mention that North game for? Vivid PTSD. Combine that with the freo loss, then the GWS nailbiter, how much heart break can one season bring?

 

[neilk]

Huzzah!

Was there some doubt about him?

 

[neilk]

WOW! Very surprising. I reckon they think Markov might not get up in time and have named him to cover him in case. Very excited to see how TJ plays!

Couldn't they do that by naming Tew as an emergency?

 

[Mkcaptain]

TJ makes sense as sub. You'd think it it was someone to replace Markov, then Parker probably would have been the one they'd go for.

Maybe.
In: Reef, TJ
Out: Markov, Bytel

WHE to play half back?

 

[jmac70]

Just listened to Comben on SEN champ

Never heard of him…champ

WHE to play half back?

Quite a few calls for WHE to play back, but odd just after one of his best games, as a forward.

 

[Jen2310]

WHE trained forward today.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Yeah I agree with that for sure. Just trying to work out how we can fit Reef into the team.

 

[Soups]

Good to see they are realizing Bytel isn’t the future. TJ will be a very good player for us.

 

[Soups]

WHE trained forward today.

Good he can continue on from Monday!

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Couldn't they do that by naming Tew as an emergency?

If they planned on TJ debuting, they'd want to announce it now, so he, his family & club can enjoy it.

 

[thommo_legend]

I'm happy to not see Bytel again, don't think hes up to the level unfortunately.

I would have thought TJ was the perfect replacement for Leggy if he doesn't get up.

 

[31550]

Yeah I agree with that for sure. Just trying to work out how we can fit Reef into the team.

Frampton goes back. McInnes to share midfield/high half forward role with McReery.

I don't think reef will be playing this week, maybe sub, who knows

 

[31550]

I don't think reef will be playing this week, maybe sub, who knows

He's in our best 22 available IMO. If Reef is sub, then TJ is a straight swap for Markov. But I'd rather get Frampton back into the backline.
