[Threadkilla]

Watch Clarko's presser.
First comment:
"They had bigger/ stronger bodies at the contest, and we just lacked polish"
Hahaha.
He just trots out the same s**t after a loss, year in year out.

Did he start with “listen”?

 

[TylerDurden]

Did he start with “listen”?

He did.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I reckon they'll pick him.

I’d be shocked if we picked CJ, watching Sams pre game media v’s the suns.

 

[burger09]

So Finn to Sheezle?

Remarkable young player.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

I reckon they'll pick him.

No way. CJ needs games to find form. He’s normally ordinary first up. He’s missed too many games to come straight back in.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

I think a few senior guys will help our young team on field.

In: Gunston, Morrison
Out: Butler, Hustwaite

 

[TylerDurden]

Would be stupid to drop Hus now. The perfect game for him to find the footy.

Not to fused about who goes out but there are a dozen in front of HH who deserve to get dropped before him

If it's a full game I'm sensing a breakout.

 

[kirbatron]

unless someone gets injured in our royal rumble training this week no changes

we've got this

Only HH so he gets a full game back at Boxhill and we are a very young team.

 

[lethalselbow]

I'd like to see Butler get a 3rd week, but fear he may be on shaky ground. Will be interesting to see whether Lewis or Breust are fit.

I think this game us far from easy.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I reckon Lewis and Breust will come in this week to straighten us up against the worst defense in the comp.

Lewis's hammy was supposedly only awareness, and with the added bonus of himn not having to line up on McKay he'll be putting his hand up, me thinks.

 

[westhawk]

Would love Moorey as the captain

 

[Siri]

Would love Moorey as the captain

Agree. Him or Daysy, but I'm actually floored. Who the **** opts to sit out drills & who the **** condones that sort of behaviour? That is just piss poor from the club.

Burge said he had a knee complaint last week. Who knows how long he's out for now.

 

[cryptor]

Give Dear a debut!

 

[TylerDurden]

Give Dear a debut!

It's tempting.

 

[Davo-27]

we might win a game?

Hustwaite was good, will he be rewarded with a full game? i think he has played 60% of a game over 2 weeks, fantastic at least he got a few contested poss...

-96 disposals and -17 tackles these are numbers that suggest we got beaten offensively with ease and got bullied defensively against a non finals playing team(most likely) that was younger than our team

our "best" players were seagulls off halfback apparently, too bad the easy goals they gave away doesnt count against their bests score?

most of our players seem lost and have no structure which is hurting their development, all game GCS had the numbers in every contest it seemed like, check out the facts, we're getting worse offensively and defensively every year, in 2022 with Clarkos structure still hanging in there we ended up For 1787 - 1991 Against, 2023 1686 - 2101, 2024 319 - 492, if you multiply those numbers to represent 23 games, i hope i did the math right, it is a miserable 1467 - 2263.... team is getting worse if trends continue.

these numbers might correct a little, but it seems every year we are scoring 100 less points and conceding 100 more points, with little structure in sight

Newcombe averaging 19.4 disposals, Nash averaging 18.2 disposals... not looking great

im hoping we get our first win...

In: Lewis, Morrison, Breust
Out: Butler, Hustwaite, Mackenzie

I like to think it was a line used to gently tell his teammates that there are no more excuses. Train if you want play. Rather than finger pointing

I hope that is what he meant

 

[Flukey!]

Cj gives us run, but I don't think he is the solution to the shitshow that is the HFC at present.
We need clearance players and goalkickers.

We find them, we will be in better shape.

He was joking about how lucky they were not to have to play against Porkins.

Needs to read the room. I'd be fuming if I was a Norf supporter. Not the time to crack jokes.

Hammy awareness?
