Unofficial Preview Changes & pre match discussion vs Carlton (Good Friday Footy)

[WesternRoo]

If Daniel Howes is sub i reckon i will throw up Terry Wallace style.

To have a guy 193cm and 95kg available when we are severely lacking down back and he is not selected (and rightfully so), he should not get a soft half game off a wing as sub.

 

[Jasemon]

Greenwood is a shocking kick, he makes Turner look good, great hands, tough but kicking much worse than Ando
and Howe disposal is nothing special
so both of them out at least the rest of them can kick ok
now all they have to do is get the ball

Greenwood was pretty much one of our best in round 1 and critical to our win after Xerri went down. Also great in round 2 win and slightly down like most of his teammates last week.

His mature body, manic pressure and tackling are still underrated by many supporters (it appears you included) but he's the one 'still' that can be counted on when our younger players are struggling. Yes his limitations are there but without knowing if he’s carrying a slight injury or not I personally reckon he’s desperately unlucky to be omitted.

God help us also if Goldy goes down with an injury. We’re running out of stop gap options to go into the ruck.

 

[Reginald0]

Don’t disagree
He has been fantastic
Perhaps it is a bad decision to drop a Tough Guy like Hugh G while we still have a lot of , shall we say, non physical or least non aggressive players
i was trying to say I thought he was dropped, not injured was my point

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

He's a good one on one defender but he's too slow in every other respect. Moves slowly, thinks slowly and makes poor decisions ... slowly.

Sounds like the selection criteria to get a game in our back 6.

Larkey and Chom can rotate through the ruck and Zurhaar can play forward. As good as Zurhaar has been in the middle with Jy, LDU, WiPhi and Tommy we don’t need him as much.

He was like watching an oil tanker at times.

 

[Val Keating]

A fair crack? He’s been in the system for 6 years. He’s had ample time and shown precisely zero ability.

Yeah, as in an uninterrupted run of playing in his optimal position

I think Greenwood is sub or a late in.
Might have limitations but Jasemon has nailed it, R 1-2, was huge.
Thought it was competitive last week. Hawks top passing and pace didn't help Hugh.

 

[Sticksphat]

That’s a first, has he been mentioned as a possible out before?

I did a quick search and found calls for him to be dropped, delisted, hung drawn and quartered. I didn't read the blokes second post though, seemed a bit obsessed.

 

[shinboner magic]

As our home game I don’t know why we can’t water the ground and make it was swamp

Where are those dodgy Indian groundsmen when you need them.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Howe out of the vfl line up any word on who will be out of afl?

 

[nicko74]

Someone said Bergman out on the Game Day Thread

 

[Poopybum22]

Bergmans a great kick who may be replaced by Howe, a dud kick.

Would much prefer Archer or Goater. Need Archer to lockdown a small and Goater could play a very similar role to Berg.

 

[William Caresser]

Disgraceful umpiring

Fn disgraceful umpiring

 

[Passmore]

Curnow what a ****ing joke. campaigner wouldn't get a kick apart from umpiring

I can see Curnow getting a hold of Bonar and I can see McKay taking Corr to town.

If they get control of the midfield it’ll be a blood bath.

Why could so many of us see it but the match committee couldn’t?
