FINAL TEAM VS PORT (For those who are too lazy to look in the other thread)

[darkknightpheonix]

interesting thought.

what happens if hooker does go back, and we get a win ?

seeing some of us were saying he should be playing back before the season started, does that mean us lot who said that, are smarter and more insightful than the coaches ?

or will the usual mindless drones just congratulate the coaches on their stunning moves that no one could have possible foreseen …

Here’s an interesting thought. What if Hooker goes back and we still get pantsed the next few and kick even less goals than we have been? Will you still be carrying on like you know better than everyone else?

probably. but more than likely we’ll get pantsed with him back or forward so that’s kinda irrelevant.
but thought i’d throw it out there none the less

I want Hooker to go back, but I’m actually tempted to cheer for this outcome, just to shut that moron up.

oh if it works, i’ll only get louder and more I told you so’s.

I cop alot of ■■■■ on here, i’m gonna start annoying the living ■■■■ out of you and others for when I turn out to be right, which is more often than not sadly.

So if we did actually snag a win with hooker, i’m coming straight back just to say, I told you so, i’ll even tag you if i can be bothered to learn how to tag :).

PS you’ll cop 10 days of me bragging about being right if they get a win with hooker back. God i hope that works Just so my posting in general will annoy the absolute ■■■■ out of you, without even trying

So what the reaction in here going to be if Myers has one of his normal two good games a year. 30 touches, 7 clearances, 9 tackles and a goal and holds Wines to a poor game?

Personally I think he will not last past R10 as a B22 player. He should start his coaching career at the end of the year.

As for Port, shut down the clearances you kill port, we are not capable of doing that. So we are going to have to run and gun from half back like never before.

[Deckham]

I’d go, … (and am) late or o/wise, … coz I reckon we;re a good chance to win …

Risk a beer beforehand, and maybe break our streak?

As far as the discussion of Hooker…forward or back is concerned, the following factors that are more relevant to 2018 make his movement to the backline (at least in the short term) compelling…

• Hartley can’t quite make the improvement from VFL level backman to AFL.

• Brown gets lost under the high ball and is consequently outmarked too often, even by smaller players.

• We lost Gleeson for the majority of the season, who is our best reader/intercept marking player.

• Hurley, for whatever reason (injury/confidence), cannot defend a bigger opponent anymore, and his shonky wrist prevent him from consistently taking the marks that he should.

• Ambrose was our best lock down KP defender last year, but has not regained the form pre injury, and is only coming back from a further injury now.
  Still, he is no AA level defender, and never will be !

• Whilst out of form, JD is another year older.

• Stewart has beefed up sufficiently to handle KP status.

• We have added Stringer in the off season.
  A pretty damn good forward when on song, and we know he can only handle limited midfield minutes ATM.

• Begley, Laverde and Langford need AFL games experience, but their forwardline minutes will be severely impacted if we persist with our extra tall forward line of Hooker, JD & Stewart, as they aren’t true smalls in the mould of Fanta, Tippa & Green.
  Sending Hooker to defence allows us to go with a 2/2/2 (rather than 3/3), thus allowing a rotation of midfield time and forward time for the 3 players mentioned.

• The Backline needs some leadership right now, and Hurley will benefit greatly from Cale’s return to defence.

*** Hookesy is a terrific forward, but the time is right now to send him back !

one of absolute surprise…because Myers was so far off it, its not funny.

Myers will be in the worst 5-6 on the ground. bookmark it. he is cooked.

That’s happened before?

[bdstratton]

I just want our side to turn up

last week performance should never happen again

absolute shock because he has only ever gotten 30 disposals twice his career, and one of those times was 7 years ago against brisbane.

Thanks to not yet being able to warp the space time continuum, … I reckon your safe there …

in fairness the other was last year against a collingwood that finished 13th.

Trebuchet them out.

I’ll go ballista if they don’t

[Henry_s_Angry_Pills]

1 forced change?

Oh boy.

It’s arguably a bigger statement and message than making 4 changes. Really puts it back on the leaders to take it on themselves.

[JBOMBER]

There’s talk that Brown will be a late change with a calf injury so I assume Hartley will come in.

tomorrow evening is gonna be nuts with i told you so’s, no matter the outcome.

[Preliminary_Point2]

Is Myers getting bronx cheers yet?

When does he become much maligned.

[barnz]

When his output is good enough.

[Henry_s_Angry_Pills]

Yep.

If we play better footy, it’s a vote of faith in the coaches

If we roll over by 80…

[Preliminary_Point2]

Haha he doesn’t get the ball so we can’t even Bronx cheer him. I’m just waiting for a right foot kick.

[barnz]

Actually have no idea how we’ll go tomorrow. kinda expect a romping but when port are arrogant they’re gettable (like us).
