Discussion 2021: AFL Pre-Season Practice Matches & AAMI Community Series Discussion

[Under The Dome]

540 metres gained by Bont. Another one who can win it inside and out.

Don't know what to take from this game. Wish we had another preseason game.

Harmes seems a ball butcher, unimpressed with him - not worth the punt for mine.

I have no idea in the slightest why they want him back in the midfield. Do not rate him

Frawley to miss 10 weeks, chance for Highmore

 

[Crowls]

Dunno how he reckons the Bombers will be any better off than the Crows for some time. 🤔🤔

I don't unfortunately! the attitude of crows and eagles supporters in general gets under my skin and a sustained time in the cellar would be a humbling experience for both teams. Neither team has gone through tough times yet

 

[Hazza]

What’s going on with Petracca? Role change, or just can’t get his hands on it ?

For anyone concerned about petracca, I would say don't be. Still clearly playing an inside mid role just has no help with Oliver Brayshaw and Viney to give him a chop out and the plethora of doggies mids are feasting. Actually holding his own well given the circumstances, if he did this during the season you'd probably take an 80 and move on.

Yep seen that but JCarlisle possibly ahead....

Bontempelli put up 195 in JLT week 1 last year but started the season at 99.1 in his first 9 with a 166 score in there. Went at 135.25 in the last 8 with a top score of 199.

 

[Crowls]

Think inside/outside mids will also benefit from the changes. Macrae, Kelly, Merrett types - players who can win it in the contest but also get the cheap little marks and handball receives from the extra space. Less stoppages overall may mean pure inside mids drop a bit.

watched most games this weekend and i agree that those that can run and spread will benefit from the new rule. As well as intercepting defenders with good disposal who take kick ins.

Surely Dunks drops out of that list when Trollar comes in?

Surely Dunks drops out of that list when Trollar comes in?

Yep or drops lower. Libba/Macrae/Bont the preferred top 3 in any case

Oliver not playing is dress rehearsal when he's playing for Carlton next year. 😜

 

[Ratzondix]

Naughton injured. That saw Bont spend more time fwd last year.

Upgrade target for mine. Can usually pick him up around the $550,000 range after a couple of early sub 95 scores. Prefer to start the trio of Macrae, Daniel and Dunkley ahead of him.

 

[Juzzo]

ANB a pre season specialist.

That’s unnecessary 🤨

 

[jaca]

I might end up having my donut at D8, given scoring options on all other lines.

 

[McLovin]

Bulldogs mids having 12423154234 disposals for a 10 point lead, who say pre-season isn't like the regular season?
I'm not watching and seriously considering not watching the replay, I don't think I want my selection to be influenced by this game

 

[mike89]

Bloody hell Bont, too early in the year to be pulling those ones out!
