MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 22

[Mydee 288]

Don't forget that Roos wanted us to play like maniacs last weekend and well look how we played.

Positively like unskilled maniacs

[DemonOX 8,530]

Too true OX.

Maybe next week we'll be playing like psychopaths?

Anything is possible McQueen but I would settle for a four quarter effort.

That would be a novelty but make a nice change.

[old dee 22,854]

I think that team looks better than last week.

The forward line screamed at me who will kick 10+ goals

Hogan would be good for 2-3 and Garlett a couple after that I was stuggling.

So we have lost Dawes No big loss and Harmes.

Added Spencer and McDonald to the forward line can they be worse than Dawes?

Hardly.

Lost Harry based on recent weeks again no big loss and Brayshaw who has again been ordinary the last few weeks.

Go get em Guys.

Another optimistic post!

WTF is going on with you, old dee?

Medication?

[faultydet 7,593]

I'd settle for enthusiasts after the crap that's been dished up lately

thanks Fish.

Im sitting at a bar on the beach at Subic Bay, and now the bar staff think im crazy.

Made me laugh out loud at that one.

just say it as I see it Steve.

I have tipped us to win two of the last three weeks for two wrongs and one right

you must have missed them.

This team would have beaten Carlton last week.

[samcantstandya 920]

Bail and Matt Jones have failed too many times. Why rest Harmes ?? He has hardly played?? Been sub a few times. Why not just use him or Brayshaw as sub.

Tired players ... amazing !! no wonder we are viewed as SOFT.

Harmes has been very ineffective most of his disposals are clangers. he needs to consolidate in the 2s.

[Cards13 9,117]

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

Cannon fodder, sorry mature bodies, if nothing else.

[Jaded No More 57,964]

Id rather these games go in Jay Kennedy Harris instead of Bail for example. Didn't even play last week in the 2s and he still gets named.

Unbelievable

They are obviously working with JHK on specific things and want him to keep learning

We are going to get smashed and this could well be Bail's last game. I am hardly bothered.

Might be 2 more games for Bail and Jones.

Needs to be a massive off season for the club, I don't see it but here is hoping we can get an A grader or 2 in.

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

So, we finally agree on something!!??

Ibid!

[Bitter but optimistic 21,259]

Ibid!

I reckon it's time to come out of the closet picket!! Declare your love for dazzle and be done with it. You'll feel better.

[picket fence 15,177]

I hope ,if Roosy is serious about "Maniacs" he plays Riley, who has had outstanding form in the Magoos!! Much better than Oscar Mac!

But what would I know!??\

Meh!

[titan_uranus 22,366]

I'd go with Watts, Stretch, Riley and Grimes for the bench. If Roos is imploring us to be 'angry', put Riley in at the first bounce and let him put that standard out there.

He'll butcher the ball when he gets it, but given the opposition and location, it's not going to make too much difference. I'd rather see us play with the required level of intensity, especially when Freo have the ball.

I'm happy with Spencer replacing Dawes. Gives Gawn assistance against Sandilands, and gives us something to aim at in the forward line other than Hogan (Dawes wasn't doing a lot of that of late).

Good on OMac for making the team. Gotta love how he's named at FP but in his interview said Roos told him he is playing defence. If he plays defence I wonder who is going to be freed up to play forward - Howe?

Unbelievable

The VFL report this week described JKH as a 'work in progress'.

He is, clearly, not ready for AFL selection if the coaches are describing him using that phrase.

Reckon he'll get one more year to prove himself, but not sure he's going to make it.

[Deespicable 2,548]

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

So which mega quick player do we bring in to replace Matt Jones then or are you looking to make us slower on the biggest ground in the AFL?

Kent is just getting fit again, vandenburg and Frost have been ruled out all year.

The only remotely quick players left in the magoos are Fitzy (who is coming off a concussion) and Terlich (who you all complain about).

For mine, given where the games is played (ie: the biggest ground in the comp), I would have rested Cross and had Terlich in the side.

But I'm sure Crossy will give it everything, especially after a poor game last week, and it looks to me that he will start in the midfield this week - rather than as a defensive floater.

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,418]

I know we are meant to be positive but after looking at that team I think we will be well and truly belted!

Would be happy to be proven wrong.

[Binmans PA 26,124]

It's actually quite similar to the team that beat Geelong...

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

They run.

[chook fowler 18,243]

How the F..k do Matt Jones and Rohan Bail continue to get games.

They don't get injured.

Best advice I ever got is " 90% of success is turning up "

[Winners at last 4,738]

It will be carnage.

[hardtack 10,127]

It will be carnage.

No, I don't think we'll win by that much.

[PaulRB 5,948]

This positive stuff is hilarious...

After another long year.

You will be bothered when he sprays it from 30m out

[bjDee 1,247]

He's just passing it to one of his team mates - via their full back and a kick in and an intercept.

He's very inventive, our Ro.
