Opinion Round 8 Changes vs. North Melbourne

[YelloMit]

Post your thoughts here.

 

[Righteo]

Getting in early.

OUT: Sutcliffe

 

[Kram]

Out : Pearce

 

[Freoforever86]

Alex Pearce for McPharlin
Suban for Mzungu

 

[freo for life]

Sutty should be looking over his shoulder after that performance.
out= sutty, A Pearce
in= gu, Mc Pharlin.

 

[xown]

As a worst case scenario, who replaces Fyfe if he gets one week? (should be just a fine though, but gotta prepare)

 

[sherrif]

Duffield had zero impact as sub:
Suban and Sutty had bad games.
Lukey Mac for Alex Pearce and Gu into 21 for Suban likely. Duff and Sutty looking over shoulder.

 

[Banker]

Out: Suban
In: Mzgu

Problem is that Suban will be there either as sub or starting because MTB didn't play wafl.

 

[MadDocker]

McPharlin in. Will leave the rest to the experts.

 

[Scham]

Sutty should be looking over his shoulder after that performance.
out= sutty, A Pearce
in= gu, Mc Pharlin.

I'd suggest there should be a few looking over their shoulder after that performance;

Balla should be replaced by Weller the way he's going but of course, it won't happen.

Sheridan should be replaced by Mz, Grey, Langdon or even Crozier. Again, won't happen.

Walters should be replaced by Weller, Crozier or Duffy. Won't happen.

Suban should be replaced by Blakely, Crozier, Mz or Grey. May happen.

So what will happen? Probably Duffield out for De Boer.

 

[Dignan]

I don't think he'll be dropped, but on current form Ballantyne is a liability.

 

[Banker]

Fyfe is too big of a player now to get a week for that. When hacks like Johnson do s**t every week and get away with it.

 

[Freo]

Out Barlow in Blakely

 

[Banker]

I don't think he'll be dropped, but on current form Ballantyne is a liability.

He should be put in the midfield instead of Walters. Though I can see why he isn't because he would get caught holding the ball and doesn't have a kick for good disposals under pressure.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Hmmm...Am I imagining it, but is Barlow struggling at tad? I realise he had 24 touches but seems to turning the pill over.

 

[ydraw]

Why? We have better midfielders.

 

[Freo]

Reckon he's badly out of form. His poor kicking deflates the team at times.

 

[Dignan]

This was tried a while ago with no real success. From memory the extra running work load also lead to a few injuries.

 

[Banker]

Why? We have better midfielders.

So he gets some form back because at the moment he looks out of it.

 

[GordonT]

Our two smalls have been nothing short of pathetic this year, Walters spends half the game face down on the ground and Ballantyne cant hit the side of a barn from 5 meters.

Is it time for one or both to be sent back to the WAFL to find some form, maybe bring in Crozier for a run.

 

[willsy4]

Out: taberner, barlow, sheridan, alex pearce.

To be fair Walters is playing in the midfield at times which seems to be tiring him out. Ballas needs a run in the WAFL, but its unlikely to happen against NM as Ross will back him.

 

[Righteo]

Out: taberner, barlow, sheridan, alex pearce.

Great plan, who are the ins?

 

[ydraw]

Walters was pretty good in the second half today. Agree he has been poor until now though.

Part of the reason for our small forwards' poor form is that our big forwards have been clunking all their marks. But Ballantyne certainly hasn't made the most of his opportunities this year.

Medhurst was essentially traded because he lost the ability to kick straight. If you are a specialist player like Ballantyne, you can't afford to keep showing up with 0.3. If he had kicked 2.1 today then he would have done his job. But as it stands, he was pretty useless.

 

[Banker]

Great plan, who are the ins?

I'm surprised at how many outs people want today. Its like a melt down is occurring!

Sure some players had bad games, but you can't drop all of them.
