Unofficial Preview Changes/prematch discussion vs Hawthorn (Out: Frog/In: JMac)

[osaka mick]

I'll start with the obvious. Out.....

Jacobs.

Why such an early call?

Well, pretty obvious if I don't say it, someone else will. I'll be making the same call next Wednesday, for the following game too!

 

[Roos Addick]

Lmao.....8mins mark of 3rd quarter

 

[Dirty_11]

Boomers disposal has been ordinary.

 

[Benno_900]

Wells in for Turner

McDonald and Macmillan do not deserve to be walk up starts. Give them a spell in the VFL.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Just get rid of gibson. Soft and poor disposal again.
Wells in, also Mcdonald in

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I haven't called for this before, but Gibson was atrocious today.

 

[Roosurgence]

Boomers disposal has been ordinary.

Boomer has been terrible. He has actually halted the flow of play a few times trying to do too much. But at least our fortunes no longer rely on him being influential.

 

[osaka mick]

Lmao.....8mins mark of 3rd quarter

I've been a big fan of his, throughout this pre-season, but enough is enough. 30+ disposals followed up by another dominate effort in the mid 20s.
When will people on this board find a new target to attack. I suggest it will be someone else soon enough.

To the Wright haters too. He was awesome today!

 

[TruRoos7]

Yep, Gibbo is "The Butcher".

 

[giantroo]

Expect to get Wells, McMillan and LMac back.

 

[year of the roo]

Wells and Jmac are now quite a while without a hitout and will be pretty underdone. To be avoided against Hawthorn.

Not sure Luke's form was so great before this 'injury' that he comes straight back in either.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Think Turner needs a spell. Nahas has gone past him this season.

Agreed with above re Gibson. Shocking disposal and just not hard at the footy

 

[nelroo]

Not sure Luke's form was so great before this 'injury' that he comes straight back in either.

Straight back in for sure..he has played two great shut down roles in the back line in his last two games..Hawks have many dangerous medium/smalls.

 

[WWSD]

Wasn't Ben Jacobs an emergency? Which North Melbourne player was a late withdrawal from the Cats game? Spitta2Azza I think Robbie Tarrant should be in your team of the week for Round 4. He was very good down back.

Really looking forward to this game. Both teams sitting 2-2 and this game could have massive ramifications for both sides. I'm never confident when it comes to playing North Melbourne, especially at Etihad where they've matched up well against us in the past. We will be missing a host of key players with injury and we will also be very short down back minus key defenders in Lake, Frawley and Spangher. If this was at the G I'd give us a good chance but we tend to play poorly at Etihad and North on the other hand play very well at that venue.

Possible team changes

IN: Schoenmakers, Shiels/Anderson
OUT: Lake (injured) Puopolo (injured)

McDonald and Macmillan do not deserve to be walk up starts. Give them a spell in the VFL.

You think Luke should go through the VFL????

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Luke plays.

If fully fit, of course.

Can you tell those Hawk fan idiots who stand on the wing singing s**t jingles to shut the * up.

 

[Devington]

You think Luke should go through the VFL????

To be fair, someone has to.

We can't fit everyone into the team. We've been using our depth a bit the last 2 weeks, and now it looks like we'll get some blokes back. Dilemmas galore.

 

[Benno_900]

His disposal has been trash. (pardon the pun)

But I believe he will come straight back in.

 

[Mav]

Turner has had a taste, now needs to go back to the seconds and continue his development, no rush with this kid his time will come.

 

[tazaa]

I haven't called for this before, but Gibson was atrocious today.

Yep. Love him bit disposal was poor. How were his numbers in the last?

Boomer has been terrible. He has actually halted the flow of play a few times trying to do too much. But at least our fortunes no longer rely on him being influential.

I didnt mind him taking risks but he was poor today. Its almost as if the hostile environment got him and it spreads like a virus. Still very much a barometer.

We can't say we are depleted but then not include the players coming back...
Turner will have a rest I think.
Will depend on who is right to come back and match ups.
Possible ins : Wells, Luke, JMac... But Basti and Jacobs played great today!!! They hold there spot!

Out Clarkson
In Bolton

 

[Winter]

Tough one, Wells & McDonald come in if fit, Hansen probably needs one more.

Dumont did everything he could and probably deserves another game.

Bastinac and Turner the likely outs.

 

[WWSD]

Can you tell those Hawk fan idiots who stand on the wing singing s**t jingles to shut the **** up.

Gonna be kinda hard, as I usually sit on Level 3 at Etihad.
