Preview Round 2, 2024 vs Richmond changes & pre-match discussion

[Gryllis]

Having Clurey around the team shows the coaching staff is still going pick the team in a bizarre way.

What has he done to warrant selection?

I honestly think it's because he hasn't warranted selection. He's not in their plans for this year, so with the late-ish out of JFH, he's picked as the player to sit out this week, while everyone else gets much needed match fitness.

If there is a late out, we'll have sub Clurey coming on in the 4th quarter.

Carr also said Lord needed no surgery, next minute.

So I am get s**t done and then start a bottle of wine late arvo

I'll be sleeping then getting up and making wine night shift Sunday night 7pm to 7am

Only good thing about JHF being out is Mead will get more mid time , I’ve quite like him around the packs but he hasn’t had the fitness or power to do it for long enough , we’ll see if that’s improved

 

[Ah12]

Pulled up 'tight' after the match Sunday, then trained Tuesday and yesterday. Are they brain dead down there?

Its no secret our fitness staff are incompetent. We went into the finals last year with a ton of players banged up from mismanagement throughout the year.

 

[Ah12]

Young player not knowing what's a small twinge/bad cramp/ light strain is very common
Shame but as a holder.of Wines is fantasy this is good news

The decision should be taken out of the players hands. Especially if they were aware he pulled up ‘tight’ after the game.

I get it but it just doesn't make sense to me.

It's seems almost cruel.

Basically Cluzza, we don't want you playing in the team because you're not very good but we want you as an emergency and the only chance of you getting a game is if someone does their hammy in the warm up and we wouldn't really want you playing anyway as we have better options but they played SANFL.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I'm late to the party but I just saw that Hopper and Prestia and to a lesser extent, Gibcus are all out.

It is nice to have a full day to bask in the Crows loss before we **** it up though.

Its a tough season and someone has to play the graveyard shift

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Not sure how we came to fill the crows timeslot.

It’s one of those games I’d just be happy to win.
Nothing fancy just get it done.

Richmond's mids a bit depleted also... i don't mind chucking Mead in there. It's prob better than him trying to play HFF. Or maybe unleash Boak in there and put Mead on the wing.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Should be Mead's time to shine. We're using Boak as a winger this year so keep him there to get better at it.

Mead is an inside mid and can work well with getting the ball to Rozee/Butters to burst away.

 

[pstew2dstew]

Jhf news sucks,

But we still have a midfield of Ollie Connor and Butters.

This is crazy to think about really. Our best minds are still so young.

Don’t underestimate Drew as well !

And given the SANFL trial is tonight, I can see all emergencies travelling.

But if your theory is correct, why not Sinn? He is the future we want to hang onto.

Clurey Bday today

 

[Mutha F]

I'd like to see Burgoyne get a full game and follow Bolton around. Would be a good experience for him and a chance to see if he can keep up with the pace

Sinn has no future lol

It was probably part of their request demand to the AFL after no-goal-gate against Sydney.

 

[JimmyBC]

I reckon we were destined for Sunday graveyard slots after the Aliir incident.
