MATCH PREVIEW & TEAM SELECTION - ROUND 1, 2016

[chook fowler 19,459]

I'm most disappointed about no Brayshaw. It must be a match fitness issue. Love watching him play.

[Emerald 1,744]

Bit worried about 2/3 of the half back line with the GWS midfield coming at them.It might be a goalfest for both sides on Saturday.

[What 18,810]

O Mac ahead of Dunn?  Wow

its like Freo having a fit Fyfe and leaving him out of the season opener. Bloody joke to leave a champ like Dunn out

Hahahahaha comparing Dunn to Fyfe?!

In what universe and on what planet  does Oscar Mc Donald get a game in front of Lynden Dunn???

Answer?? NONE!

I'll Say it!

THIS IS THE WORST SELECTION DECISION OF ALL TIME FMD!!!!

I'm livid, this is potentially a game changing decision

If Dunn is right then he plays, Absolutely no question!

Huge Huge gamble and massive fail in my book!

Oscar Mc Donald FMD!

 

I was only half serious in the other thread of hoping OMac being selected ahead of Dunn. But this thread has been totally worth it.

Not sure why the coaches wouldn't select our best side at all times. Oscar needs to develop for sure but I think Dunn needs to  get another game or two in.

Just looking at the GWS team theres nobody for Dunn to play on.  Tomlinson is their only tall and hes not even a true tall, he plays up the ground and has never been a goal kicker.

Selection makes sense

 

Edit - they have Paul Stweart, didnt sere him. theyve named him on the wing ........

He is a little under Dunn.  

Sorry, I am ashamed. 

[P-man 13,366]

Proof will be in the pudding on Saturday.

Talk about a hissy fit. If that's an indication of your fickleness, then good riddance to bad rubbish. Leave now and watch us rise from a distance.

[DeeSpencer 25,723]

FB: Jetta  Garland  Oscar Mc
HB: Vince Tom Mc  Salem
C: M Jones Jones  Bugg
HF: Vanders  Watts  Kent
FF: Pedersen  Hogan  Garlett
Foll: Gawn  Viney  Tyson
Int: Oliver Harmes Kennedy Frost

I think that's a truer representation of how the team will line up.

Vince and Jones will swap back and on the ball. Bugg will rotate to half back, Harmes will come to wing or forward. Kent will have a few minutes on the wing. Frost might ruck and/or will come on forward for Pedersen to ruck or to spell Hogan. Kennedy will come on forward. Vanders will go up to the middle or a wing. Oliver will play forward and in the middle.

There's a lot of speed and run, pretty much everyone besides Pedersen who will play forward of centre has speed and we have increased endurance in the backline group, which means run to cover off defensively and run the other way to get some quick rebound.

I'd love a class user on the outside and a bit more experience in each zone of the ground but we can't be negative about this team. 

Carlton are showing tonight what you can do playing as a side and I like that this is pretty much the side that took on the Saints - Grimes replaced Matt Jones at 1/4 time and Wagner is out for Vanders. We ran that game out strongly playing the style of footy we wanted to play. Time to back it up.

Wow so its come around again. The topic of selection. Rapt that Oliver is playing. I just hope we don't make him sub. Let the kid play instead of sitting on the bench for 3 quarters getting all nervous. I didnt get to see our  games live , only seen snippets but geez I hope we bring the good from in. 

News flash dees. No sub this year. If he starts on the bench, I'd say he wouldn't be on it long enough to warm it up.

Cognilio is another notable absentee. That's good i guess.

It's Coniglio, you rabbit.   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Managia, che scemo !!!!!!!!!!!

[chook fowler 19,459]

I am not a Matt Jones fan but let's give him credit for his preseason and possibly resurrecting his career. Roos is heavily into assigning players roles and maybe he'll find his place as a tagger. He certainly has a good tank. The big big problem as been his disposal and turnovers. Hopefully the coaches have ironed some of the problems out.

[Yossarian 1,820]

A few apologies owed to Jay Clarke on twitter today. 

I'm mostly excited to see footy's back. Old mate waiting for Dunn to be selected to buy a 2016 membership... gold. Some complete loons posting tonight.

Bring on the footy.

[3Dee 1,153]

I am confused.

“Dunny’s probably a little bit similar [to Brayshaw and Lumumba] – he hadn’t played a lot over the last couple of weeks as well.

“So they’re three that from a fitness point of view, we were able to leave out, based on the form of some of our current players.”

 

He's not ready to play, in the eyes of the coaches. Neither is Brayshaw. Neither is H.

You don't know better than they do. Neither does that other idiot claiming he wont buy a membership if Dunn doesn't play.

I'm calling [censored] on Barney being a member at all. Think about all the [censored] we have put up with over the years. 

Think about how hopeless we have been. How we lost on purpose. The constant rebuild. The $cully saga. The wasted draft picks. 186. Mark Neeld. Cam Schwab. The Jurrah machete saga.

Barney stayed a true member through it all only to throw in the towel because Omac was selected in front of Dunn.

Oscar is taller than Dunn so why is he getting a game?

I've got some advice:

Head down to Coles, buy yourself a box of Kleenex and wipe up all those tears you've shed over the fact Oscar McDonald was selected over Dunn.  It might take a while, but you'll get there.
