Discussion 2022 Round 7: Teams & In Game Discussion

MMM there is no universe where it is acceptable to feel sad for WCE supporters. I have the name of a good therapist if you need it?

Don't mind a good therapist, my 11 month old daughter is driving me crazy

Totally agree, only just realised last night with Grundy out that Dixon to Strnadica is possible.

Almost seems like the obvious move, definitely changes plans for a lot of coaches this week I reckon and throws a question mark around Rosas.

This - few understand it! Nice one Herbie, good pick up. Will watch. 197cm though, pretty short, is he in to play forward for DC 205cm in the ruck?

He's probably a bit more your Luke Jackson-lite type (similar size / game style, not as much mercurial talent obviously), very mobile and decent at ground level for his size, has ok skills for a big man as well.

Cameron's tank isn't the best so Begg will need to give him a chop out at times. To be fair both of them will probably get monstered by Witts this week anyway and he generally rucks for most of the game, so temper your expectations. We'll be even further understrength this week too with DeGoey and WHE either out or doing a Butters on Sunday), so could be on the wrong end of a belting as well which will impact SC scoring for Begg (ie. zero scaling or even slipping backwards a bit if we're getting smashed).

2/231 Looped Dixon, he can stay on the bench for now.

 

[Maccas marvels]

Richmond kicked 21.8.134 from intercept possessions tonight. Since 2012, no side has scored more points from this score source in a game than the Tigers have tonight.

Wow 😳😔

West Coast made Richmond look amazing tonight…I still don’t think the tigers are anywhere near top 4 material…..funny how the commentators were saying the tigers were back lol….

 

[BigRuss]

Hard to watch a team struggle like the Eagles. I’m a stoic eagles hater but there’s no joy to be taken in an easy kill.

They’re as bad as any team has been in the last 20 years and going to get considerably worse in the next couple seasons I reckon. List managers butthole be airtight come review season.

 

[PC]

I'm bringing in Witherden next week as well I reckon. Have previously known him as WitherTON for a reason.

But but he got 97?

 

[Professor]

Probably 24 hours old now, but good to know.

Yes, 19 hit outs (not sure HTA) as number 1 ruck in two games, looks terrible in the ruck really, even WCE preferred Dixon in the last quarter.

But still scored okay, so not sure on him, can he hold the number 1 ruck role?

1/9 HTA vs Port
4/10 HTA vs Rich

Do you hate every team other than Essendon?

I feel like Ol’ Gil from the Simpsons today, pulling Rachele and Whitfield aside: “it’s your day today boys… oh god please let it be your day… please… I need this”

Whilst both Strnadica and Dixon went 22% and 20% respectively HTW and 40% HTA, Dixon would have been up more against Soldo I expect, the back up ruck. Whilst it seems Eagles are moving around on choice, feels like it is Strnadica first. We will see this week. Oscar Allen pushed back so there not many choices, Strnadica has about 5cm on Dixon.

I don't know if that looks any better for Strnadica, Soldo's more of a pure tap ruck than Nank.

 

[McLovin]

I'm bringing in Witherden next week as well I reckon. Have previously known him as WitherTON for a reason.

He seems to be one of those players who really thrives in sides that get smashed most weeks. There's not much competition for the ball, and less attention gets paid to his defensive efforts because everyone looks bad in that regard.
