ANB better fly with the team

We'll be desperately slow without him

Clarkson dropped Roughead. 

ATTN MFC: IT CAN BE DONE 

It's the first time in a long time the Hawks have played US into some form.  No wonder poor old Clarko is [censored]!

After being one of our better players? I don't think so.

Dazzler might have to suffer through the ANB, omac show for another week.

Note to self: desist from predicting players won't be dropped.

Just said on fox that JV was still sore but will play!!!!

Have we not learnt anything from the past? It seems not. 

Fmd I hope this doesn’t bite us on the caboose.

Just read on twitter that Jack has declared himself fit and will be a confirm starter for this weekends game.

Oh yeah because he knows that he's right to go Yessiree, Medical opinion??? .!Watch him bash crash 4 maybe 5  put that injured AC joint through Purgatory BUT he will be right coz he is Jack Viney! he is right to go...

Just watch this unfold!

Also WTF How does Turbo Mc Treacle still STILL get a game!

We are bunnies in headlights!

Ah.. stay tuned !

Nibbla bloody stiff if you ask me.

Yep... I think there is another  'Out' coming...  maybe more than one ?

Very very glad Keilty retained his spot, hopefully he can get onto the end of a couple of decent kicks this week and showcase his true strength as a Forward. 

How many minutes did Keilty spend forward last week? I was at the game and he seemed to be on the bench or in the middle for a good part of the second half?

Weird selection. 

Jack ain’t a runner and I’m not sure how fit he is. 

NB was ok last week so not sure what the reasoning is. 

Also would have liked Preuss to come into the side if fit. 

How Omac survives is beyond me. 

Agree on ANB as his intensity great last week........Couple of other boys continue to be very very lucky

Not like we're blessed with speed and ANB gives a lot of run...

I’d say it’s becuase Viney is a much better player. ANB was decent last week but has been poor most of the year. 

 

39 minutes ago, DemonOX said:

Yeah but NB was starting to hit some form for the first time this season and to drop him now doesn’t make much sense to me.

Another week of hmmmm selections, ANB was far from our worst last week....Wagner or Lewis were more deserving of a run in the VFL

5 score involvements and 3 of those 8 tackles were inside 50.  One of our best pressure / tacklers inside 50 also in general.  Can only think the low effective disposals went against but he was super clean running above AFL average at 75% DE for his 9 effectives and a cheeky snap goal front & square.

Statistically his best game for the year running at 19.5% above his 2018 average output.  He only had 4 matches last season where he scored better and i had him ranked 6th in weighted composites vs the rest of the team last week.

Statistically our best team result for the year also.

Personally could not fault his game myself.  Extremely stiff.  Hope it doesn't throw our inside/outside balance out of wack which IMHO nibbler was a key part of correcting substantially last week.

So we bring Viney back in (who we know is prone to rushing his recall to the seniors) for a bloke who laid tonnes of tackles and applied heaps of pressure last week. Righteo ?

Emergs/  ANB, Petty, tSmith, cWagner..... lots of options in that list.

[dazzledavey36 48,705]

Jesus.. i watched the replay on Sunday and ANB didn't do anything major to be dropped. And thats saying something coming from me....

Viney of course the [censored] would have said he's right to go when he's probably only 70%.. selfish as usual from Jack.

Thanks for putting the requisite objectivity behind my vibe! Stiff

 

But saying that, suggests he plays for a late change

I suspect he's setting himself up for a big run now when we need him firing to hit the 2nd half running (r8-12) - if we lose these games then get him in for surgery and cherry ripe for 2020. If our season is alive then he'll set himself up for another late run rounds 18-23 after probably being injured r13-17 tbh. Hoping after the bye we can knock down some wins and then make a play for the 8 with him in there... then he rests in bye round.

Only one for me DV and that's the first one you listed.

Would have been better keeping a winning (better balanced inside/outside) team and resting/managing Viney for another week to bring him closer to speed to play the Weagles.

I assume they're doing this (managed) with Pruess for the same reason.

I know he is tall but the highest point is usually rather high. I think you and others mean at his maximum reach. I know I am pedantic but surely we could use the language correctly and not repeat imported idioms like "from the get go"  - "early doors" - "fat side"..............

 

As long as we are being pedantic, you can be pedantic but you cannot be a pedantic. You are a pedant. sorry annoying post I know...But like you I hate the bs terminology creeping into AFL discussion. Goal Keeper, lace out, etc.

Agree with others that ANB is stiff after well and truly playing his role last week. I have never been massive ANB and Stretch fans, but the balance has been a lot better since they came back in imo.

Also...a great opportunity missed to manage Viney for the Eagles and send a huge message to all in the group that we are back on track and it's now going to be much harder to break into the team if you're omitted (for whatever reason!).  Solid follow up performance against GCS needed from the 22 as well with Viney pushing up.

presumably they will only take two as travelling emergencies. Won't be many MFC players left for VFL duties
