TEAMS: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide

[Demonland 73,140]

[titan_uranus 25,043]

Melksham, vandenBerg, Sparrow and J Smith the emergencies.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

How are the inclusions for Port. FML. 

[Chook 15,022]

How is the inclusion for Melbourne. LML.

[adonski 12,429]

Far too logical for my liking

Our forward line is not potent enough

We need Majak there and only there to give a bigger body and target

thats me, where did you get that

[BDA 22,880]

Delighted to see BB back in. Let's hope we can find him on the lead. If we can he'll convert.

[dl4e 5,851]

The best thing Brown will do is take one of Jonas or Alir to free up Tmac and Fritta.

You need to drop off the grid mate, privacy means nothing these days

[dees189227 12,398]

150, well done Maxy. Suddenly our forward line looks a bit better. The spine looks good to. 

 

[Bates Mate 4,510]

Kossie, Spargo, anb on notice you'd think with Melksham, avba and Chandler ready to grab a spot

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,495]

[Hellofatime 84]

If Brown doesn't kick a goal, can we finally give Majak a chance as a genuine full forward?

No. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

...We've Ben waiting a while for a genuine goalscorer!

Make it rain, Benny!!

Of course, this will require better i50 delivery, which will also result in Fritter, TMac etc. being more effective.

[Demonstone 22,815]

Genuine?  ?

I just can’t get over how every time a team welcomes back a gun player from long term injury it’s against us. Every. Single. Time. 

[Deemania since 56 6,717]

Inclusions are good, but it could be said that there is not a great deal of change - more 'same old, same old' in reality. The inspiration might well have come from the emergencies, the medi-sub and some positional realignments between backs and forwards who, down there, are relatively new to that confined environment. 

Brown should lead his opponent down the brellow-yick road as often as possible and some young smart Rs Demon should rush in nearby to whence he came, and Fritta, TMac and Gawn/Jackson should offer leads, as well. They all need the goal-kicking practice, anyway.

I want you Demons to freak out, all game, at 100kph with a mongrel attitude and presence. Hear?

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

B. Brown coming in this week compared to last week makes literally no sense from a form perspective.

Goodwin says because of the 5 day break he was on limited minutes, so that means by Saturday evening, after the GWS loss, he had decided Brown would play the following week and hence gave him limited minutes. 
 

Sounds like Goodwin has made the decision based off how [censored] our forward line was on Saturday afternoon. He’s then pulled the trigger, and not even considered how well Brown’s latest VFL game went.

So, why exactly didn’t he pick him for the Giants?

[CHF 2,768]

Forward setup looks better. I wonder if we will be smart or skillful enough to use it properly?

[DeeZone 10,107]

Very happy with this selection, feel sorry for Sparrow but head down and bum up Tom you will get further opportunities. We have been calling out for this change, so BBB don’t make asses of us.

Go Dees .!!!!!!!!!

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Well, f+++ing finally. Nothing like some losses to make you realise you prefer to win.

Straightforward, top question, isn't it?

[Jaded No More 68,974]

People expecting loads of changes are kidding themselves. We are still 12-3. We are still second. You don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. We made a big structural change with Brown. That’s enough.
