An average of two goals a game is hardly anything to write home about.

I assume the average is down because of his earlier games when he was still developing but two goals a game is over 40 in a full season. We’d jizz if we had that over here.

 

[#26]

Great. I hope the shoulder is sound and he's not having to carry an injury until end of year surgery.

 

[Mick F]

Jeremy Cameron is our killer. 45 goals in 12 games. That’s almost 4 a game.

Fair player.

 

[Harry O]

Checkers is a close contact. His gf has it.

What happened to Ginni?

Yet he has never kicked more than 4 against us. So it’s not like he had a slow start and has caught up by kicking bags.

Jeremy Cameron has 45 goals against us from 12 games as opposed to Joe’s 22 from 11 games. With Joe only being one year younger

What happened to Ginni?

General soreness

 

[Jen2310]

What happened to Ginni?

Sore. 5 day break, not uncommon.

 

[#26]

Another covid interrupted season. Hopefully it'll finally be over when we're back in our Premiership window in 2026.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Forget about the scoreboard, let's focus on developing game.

Hoping we can tempo the footy when Brisbane have momentum. We'll have large patches of winning the phone box and chaos it forward.

Tempo when bris win momentum

We need to continue searching for that balance.

Forget about the scoreboard and we might pull off a boil over

I think Poulter comes in so that Sidebottom can be played permanently forward.

Our forward line has been wiped out. We need a smart, experienced opportunist up there. Sidey is the guy.

In: Adams, De Goey, Roughy, Kreuger
Out: Elliott, checkers, Ginnivan, Bianco

I'm not convinced Madgen will be dropped. They may want to play him to manage roughy's game time as he gets to full match fitness. But usually the two wouldn't usually play together. But Lions only have 2 real talls (McStay/Daniher, unless Oscar spends time forward )

While it did appear to me that Cameron would play. They could switch it up and opt for Cox.

I could make a case of pushing sidey forward and bringing in Poulter.

I think they may keep Madgen in and get either Pendles or Maynard to play mid, so that Adams and JDG can rotate forward more often. Forward line isnt contested enough otherwise, without Elliott, Mccreery and Mihocek.

 

[sr36]

Because we have more forwards. Yes, scoring is an issue but we have more guys who can fill the void up front in some capacity than we have who can go down in defence. I'm a supporter for throwing the absolute craziest suggestions at this game because if we lost by 100 points but learnt 100 lessons (getting real deep here ik), we'd be in that process. Better to learn now when the media and fans are forgiving than stuff up when we get good.

We're without Mcreery, Mihocek, Ginnivan and Elliott and Roughy is back. Where are you getting more forwards from?

That's very possible. I've been trying to figure that out. If they play him, then someone down there has to play more mid. You could be spot on.

Looking through one if my videos; when Pendles was in the middle, you had Roughy, moore, maynard, Quaynor, Madgen and crisp down back

Howe and Nick may have been on the interchange. Only think I can think of where Howe was lol

I know, having to isolate because your intimate partner has Covid. Completely crazy!

Could be worse. Could be living in Shanghai and isolated, forcibly removed from home, kids sent to a special facility and the family dog chased down the road and beaten to death by a guy in full PPE gear. By comparison, Dictator Dan's isolation requirements seem relatively benign.

I just wish it wasn't always the good players or 'ready to explode on the big stage' youngsters who suffer these setbacks, or why the players can't space their mishaps rather than time them to happen simultaneously.

China is great if you like structure

Yes, those Chinese do seem to be taking Covid very seriously. It's as if they still think it's a thing...

It's a shame to lose Brody 'thunder thighs' Mihocek. We have no replacement for him, and we'll be less competitive in his absence.

But the season really is a fact-finding mission. Bottom 4 beckons, with some hope that a brighter future makes a few cameo appearances along the way.

4th game in a row that I've attended - seen 2 wins, 2 losses. But today was worse than the Geelong game,,,,,

So how bold will the selection committee be for next week? Some obvious ins, but how many changes are too many?

I could flag up to 6 changes, but unlikely to happen:

Definite Ins:

Adams (assuming all clear re: protocols)
DeGoey (back from suspension)


Possible Ins:
Roughead (assuming Match fit)
Freddie Kreuger (if passed fit, get him in)
Cox - despite the haters, you can only put your big Texan hand up in the VFL. Massive game from him v Preston today
Poulter - big fan. Think it's time for another crack in the big show

Outs:

Elliot (shoulder)
WHE (heart)
Cameron (lack of talent)
Henry (no confidence)
Magden (as voted by all to go away and never return on Big Footy Forum)

Outs Elliot Checkers Ginnivan Madge Cameron

WHE / Henry and McInnes lucky to stay in based on player unavailability

 

[Jen2310]

Feels like one of WHE/Henry misses out from the white team. I think Wilson did enough.

With checkers, elliot, ginni and mcreery unavailable I don’t see how we drop Henry.
