[FR0GGY]

Scorpus You think he got a touch up?

Miller touched up neale and Zorko in the one game.

Tackled his tackle

Interesting question and comment in Nicks presser this afternoon when he was asked about 'chemistry' with the defenders?

Nicks said 'should be ok, Borlase, Keane and Nankervis have been playing together all year'. Forgot to mention Worrell who only got elevated when Doedee did his ACL.

And then we have Michalanney, first year player.

Milera and Smith our only defenders with any experience.

Strange days.

Milera and Smith aren't defenders, but I get the point.

Yeah resting Pedlar was the easy way to get Rachelle back in rather than drop Sloane and Murphy who did less. And I can assure you Soligo will be dropped to sub so that both Murphy and Sloane play .Can see we are going to lose one or some of these talented kids like Cook . Berry etc whilst we give Sloane another contract and play non talented players likeMurphy and McHenry.

Sloane, Murphy and McHenry all better players than Berry at this stage, Still a chance for finals so ya put your best players out there. We've had enough ins and outs lately with injurys. Berry ain't anything special anyway. Crouch playing well means he's not forcing his way in.

 

[Carmo]

Not like they had a choice

You ruled out the Keane/Worrell key position creative option? We only seem to get creative at the lowest value creative things and never try creative things that actually add significant value.

 

[Carmo]

No melt night...

 

[Go the Guts]

Milera and Smith aren't defenders, but I get the point.

WTH? Yes they are. Yeah Smith played down the wing a bit, etc.... but he's always been a defender, as has Milera largely.

Yes, could’ve got creative if they only had 2 talls.

 

[CrowToon]

Murphy out for Pedlar next week and we are pretty close.

When is Izak back? Keays can go for him. Keep Sloane as sub.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Could also be referring to Brodie Smith or Reilly O'Brien

Hard to tell with ROB .....is he running, sprinting, or walking ....they all look the same to my eye

 

[daniel_4tw]

Great we've drawn Elini....

Umpires
Leigh Haussen (5),
Curtis Deboy (11),
Jacob Mollison (32),
Eleni Tee (34)

Eleni is just bad rather than bias. We’ll get a few terrible calls against us but we’ll all get them our way too. Honestly prefer her to about half a dozen others.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Yeah I saw a better angle. Appears to grab his utensils.

Reminds me of Joel Selwood clearly eye gouging Riley Knight and it not even being looked at. I'm sure the MRO misses a lot of these incidents, particularly when they involve "star" players like the Selwood

Fancy though ...going on radio and self incriminating yourself

Touk would not have been suspended, if not for admitting guilt in the radio interview

No no.22 is a win in my book.

Never worry too much re umps at home games

Almost give up any chance of winning at mcg though due to umps

A bit against the grain but I reckon the least biased ump in comp is Ray chamberlain , I never feel like he will stooge us

Stevic and Nichols my 2 worst

 

[FR0GGY]

Murphy out for Pedlar next week and we are pretty close.

Keays might be a better sub option

 

[1990crow]

Please win. Make the Brisbane game interesting

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Milera and Smith aren't defenders, but I get the point.

Modern footy isn’t it

Attacking guys play at half back these days and defensive guys play at half forward

How it has changed over the years

 

[WaynesWorld19]

There has been big improvement in Keays kicking this year - in that he is doing it less. Handballs off a lot more or goes a short 15-20 pass to a better kick. And we have an abundance of those in the back half to utilise him


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

The stats are indicating ....a lot of the inside MIDS are handballing far more this year ......By God, it's frustrating

 

[CrowToon]

Keays might be a better sub option

Keays is absolute trash with his disposal.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Modern footy isn’t it

Attacking guys play at half back these days and defensive guys play at half forward

How it has changed over the years

That said .....there's a trend, caused by faster ball movement, towards more one on one defence .....over team defence

The ball is coming down to the fwds much quicker

 

[BRL121]

You think keays, murphy, mchenry are great players.. in the face of years and years of watching them play.. so its no Fcckn surprise at all that you’d WOW at my comment Mutineer!.,

Comment? I'd say invective.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

IN: Borlase, Rachele

OUT: Pedlar (managed), Butts (injured), Sloane (sub)

 

[1970crow]

I feel Sloane will probably remain as the sub for the remainder 4 games.

doubtful, we've got Pedlar and Rankine back over the next 2 weeks and can't see any further rests. That's 2 players that need to drop out of the 22 into the SANFL to keep Sloane as sub.

What's ridiculous is that for his 250th he was going so well and was so important to performance that he started in the centre square. 1 week later he's back starting on the bench and the week after dropped to sub. Gifting him a non-performance based ceremonial role in a must win game was hubris and it speaks to the overarching culture of our club. A home game we lost to a side below us at the time that potentially costs us a finals spot. We put Rory ahead of everyone else, hopefully never again and he's played his ladt game.

 

[Rank]

Eleni is just bad rather than bias. We’ll get a few terrible calls against us but we’ll all get them our way too. Honestly prefer her to about half a dozen others.

She Can't make a decision, all she does is yell ( PLAY ON ) AFL still playing the public relations card

 

[1970crow]

Hopefully the next 2 games then give him a home game send off befitting a club champion against Sydney at AO.

injuries notwithstanding, who do you want to miss instead of him when Pedlar returns next week and which 2 if Rankine comes in the week after?
