Game Day Round 19 vs. Hawthorn, MCG, 4:35pm Saturday 20/07

[Aussie pie]

No idea who’s available for next week but I’ll try for some ins.
McStay if he gets through tomorrow.
Cox is maybe available comes straight back in.
Dean maybe but probably don’t need him against the Dawks.
TJ to replace Oleg just so CJ and TJ can play against each other.

No one breaking the door down in the VFL, if AJ gets another bag maybe but I think his papers have been stamped. They should’ve kept up the experiment of playing him back.

Basically I’ve got no idea about changes I think it’s more about game style at the moment and injuries. Can’t expect an old Toyota to run like a Lamborghini.

Can we trade all of our bad players for good ones?

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Out: Lipinski, Hill, Moore, Sidebottom, Schultz (Concussion)

In: Dean, Jiath, Sullivan, McInnes, Howe/Eyre

Moore to be sub, then played forward if Howe plays.

Won't happen, but should.....

 

[danielnajdek]

Wont beat Hawthorn.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Wont beat Hawthorn.

They will win and win comfortably

 

[TradeDraft]

And give Freo a top 10 pick / swap our better pick w Hawthorn?
That last f$&@ing trade period makes me f$&@ing furious.

I’d love to play the kids but it actually weakens our draft hand.

Well it’s Club Fault for doing such a Terrible Trade

 

[TradeDraft]

They will win and win comfortably

Flog us

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Wont beat Hawthorn.

They will be some tipsters definite of the weekend

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

The Schultz trade has turned out to be an absolute horror show

 

[GreekLunatic]

It depends if they get injuries I would play aj is Howe going to be back

Our trading in general has been weak. We always overpay and get unders for our players.

McStay will be a huge in for us. Hopefully Schultz is okay, if so, I’d look at maybe dropping Markov and moving WHE to half back, or dropping Long.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

So what's the go with Wright?
He was coming back in September for finals, but now we won't be there, does he announce in September he is f**king off to Tassie or will he just tell us he isn't returning at all, then join Tassie during the summer?
I'm not sure why the club was waiting for him, when he told them he was resigning. There is nothing more surer, he will be joining the Tasmanian footy club. We are going to look stupid when that happens.
Why move Bolton into that role,when we could have searched for a professional football manager and brought them in?
Some of the off field moves have been baffling....

I wouldn't be playing McStay this early. There's nothing to gain from the season in terms of finals or premierships. Give him maybe one or two games on managed time, in the last two rounds, in preparation for his pre-season. Get him fully up and going for round 1 next year...

What’s Presti up to these days?

 

[Jen2310]

Reckon it'll just be
In: reef (into the 22)
out: schultz
Sub: someone from vfl

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Geez Lipinski and Bobby Hill were shocking in that game. They would not wanna watch the replay..Premiership players, so legends to me forever, but just so out of form, and their effort was very ordinary too.

 

[Tharazero1]

It’s just the will and drive isn’t there from the players compared to the previous two seasons, and it’s so frustrating to watch

Steele was one of our best today

 

[SchuPie]

If we can just lift to beat Hawthorn - keep our concentration for the Richmond game, we still have a sit at finals

Carlton / Sydney/ Brisbane- snag a couple and we might squeeze into the 8
Get our injuries sorted by then, have some luck, then hopefully…

Would love a take back on this.
We stopped playing the high pressure attacking brand of footy that he was brought in to play.

 

[Go Woods]

We need to beat Hawthorn or the true horror of our absurd off season will be in full bloom

Yes, hate the Dawks as much the Bumbers, the Scum.
Lose to those f#####s and our season will end like a horror movie.

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

Steele was one of our best today

Could do worse than put him in the centre square, Pendles is nowhere near it.

He’s not been right since coming back. Clearly playing with issues from that bicep thing.

 

[Go Woods]

A nothing trade now, he wasn't a need.
Another 1st round pick tossed away.

 

[ottoman]

Steele was one of our best today

No he wasn't.
No No No.

He may have had a plenty of possessions but watch the game and see what he does with them.

I'm not hating on him. Just saying he was far from one of our best.

Mind you other than Nick, I can't think of anyone who was good, let alone best.
