whatwhat say what

the three round 19 games at marvel are: peptides vs footscray (likely friday nite?) bluebaggers vs meth coke (likely saturday twilight?) the aints vs north (like sunday twilight?) three fizzers when you consider the bears vs puddy tatts (gabba), pear vs filth (the oval), and our match-up vs crom (the g) are arguably - ten rounds out - the most 'attractive' games

i didn't hear that on 360; did he say it elsewhere? sounds like lycett and teakle will be used as a tall combo to battle grawndy

hard to believe it wasn't 2 weeks tbh

four umpires isn't working there's even more inconsistency within games i'd personally be trying to make them 100% professional and reduce to two

hard disagree with that bolded section our key forwards - as opposed to, in some cases, tall forwards - are locked in place at this point in time: fritsch - he's our primary key forward gawn - when he rotates forward he's vital with his ability to mark / halve the contest grundy - nowhere near as dangerous, but can rotate forward van rooyen - we go to him, we get a goal on more than 50% of the occasions pickett - he's our best pressure player i50 chandler - he's our second best pressure player i50 spargo - he's our best user going i50 that's six key forwards; add in petty as another tall option and we're a) scoring more than any other team and b) spreading our goal kicking beautifully

feels like a higher grading being given to punish us for getting jvr off

the way the bears play them seemed to do the job

in a desperate desire to get around from the yes-he-is-no-he's-not with hunter, pre-empting the 'what are they saying at brougham place' but this stuck out to me on bigfooty: i think we'll get a very different side to last year given georgiadies and marshall are definitely out, and dixon possibly too, they might have to bring in hayes to partner lycett and go with finlayson as a forward - funnily enough, i think he's actually their most damaging ruckman, just by dint of his aerobic capacity as much as anything rozzee, butters, jhf, with boak as the old stager is a pretty handy inside midfield combo, with a fair few rotations that they push through too it'll be interesting to see if we go with the high level of different options at stoppages or the tried-and-true trio of oliver, petracca, and viney i suppose trac depends on how his ankle recovers if petty misses, sideshow bald or plugger mac in to replace?

fify

marshall is definitely out with concussion, but will dixon play?

what's watson's defensive workrate like? what about his skillset? i understand he's pretty zippy and can fly high, but how does the other side of his game compare?

6: viney 5: rivers 4: petracca 3: brayshaw 2: oliver 1: hibberd

no change

felt like a professional win to me our centre clearances when the core three - oliver, petracca, viney - were in there didn't seem to be working very well

inject it into my veins

beautiful day for footy, shame it's not a 2:10pm start

yep, but it's still a mystery as to what he's going to do with it once he gets it

yep

cos he absolutely poleaxed prestia last year and got four weeks based on the jvr judgement would have been 6+ if he was an mfc player

puddy tatts are missing 10 of the premiership 23 and this is the first time they've played without either one of dangerfield or selwood since they recruited the former

i've found the only stable environment is via telstra tv

balta reminds me quite a bit of frost - yr never quite sure what he's going to do

he's a consistent player who is there or thereabouts in terms of selection in terms of his role, he's behind the main midfield / wing options, not a pressure forward, and not a rebound nor a lockdown defender it's either him or sparrow ahead of harmes for mine in terms of midfield rotation, and i can understand why they prefer the physicality of sparrow

puddy tatts? gc17? bloods pear us bears footscray? crom? filth puddy tatts missing 10 of their premiership 23 from last year, and this will be the first game since they recruited clangerfilled that neither he nor duckwood are running out there for them
