Changes vs Sydney

[EFL Boy]

In: McVeigh, Watson, Hurley
Out: Hooker, Dyson/Skipworth, Monfries (inj?)

Obviously with Hooker out Ryder will be the only ruckman, but I just can not trust Hooker when he has the ball anymore.

For McVeigh and Watson to come back in, one of Dyson and Skipworth must be dropped. I am leaning towards Skipworth.

But hopefully Gus pulls up OK, so then he can stay in the side.

Your thoughts?

 

[ghostdog]

Not keen on seeing Monfries out given his form over the last two weeks. If he is out injured, then McVeigh for Monfries is an easy fix.

I don't think Hooker is a gun as someone else somewhere said. I don't necessarily think he should be out of the side based on tonight though either... if Dempsey's eye is no good, Hurley as an in would be obvious, otherwise I'm content to write off an ordinary match for Hooker and let him play Sydney. Keep pushing Hurley's development.

I'd possibly send Reimers back to Bendigo for Watson. His kicking has been ordinary, and I'm not convinced about his commitment to the ball. Almost let his temper get the better of him tonight too. Dyson's earned his, as has Skipworth. Both would seek to redeem themselves next week.

In: McVeigh
Out: Monfries (inj.)

I'd drop Skipworth over Dyson. He'd not as hard at it and isn't as fast, nor does he take the game on and kick long like Dyson can.

NLM might do with a run for Bendigo.
I'm still not a Reimers fan, nothing in the last three weeks has shown me he deserved to come into the team straight off. I think he should have spent more time at Bendigo and I think he should go back there and prove himself before he steps up again.
Skipworth I don't dislike, but I think he slows the team down a bit too much. Him or Hocking.

Out: NLM, Skipworth/Hocking, Reimers, Monfries (if Inj)
In: Watson, McVeigh, Myers, Hurley

B: Slattery, Pears, Hurley
HB: Dempsey, Fletcher, Dyson
C: Lovett, McVeigh, Stanton
HF: Winderlich, Lucas, McPhee
F: Davey, Lloyd, Welsh
R: Ryder, Watson, Prismall
Int: Myers, Lonergan, Hocking, Hooker

Maybe even Bellchambers in for Hooker.

 

[abers47]

Am really thinking we need to bring in Bellchambers (depending on Bendigo game) as we are running Paddy into the ground!

 

[essendon]

Please drop Skipworth, sorry but i'm not a big fan of his i would prefer to play Zaka, Houli or Myers before him any day he is only stopping another young kid form coming in, i dont rate him at all - sorry but thats my opinion.

 

[SirJimi05]

Why the hell is Dyson's name even being mentioned?

 

[lamaros]

Why the hell is Dyson's name even being mentioned?

It boggles the mind really. He hasn't been in dropping contention since ANZAC day on form.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Not sure if there'll be too many changes for next week. McPhee's disposal was a bit disappointing at times, Watson was sorely missed and is an automatic inclusion if fit, and Hooker simply does not suit the ruck, but I think I'll reserve my judgement on changes after letting everything sink in over the next day or two.

 

[bomberz08]

Ins- Watson, McVeigh, Hurley [maybe belly depends how he goes for bendigo]

Outs- Nlm, Skipworth, Gus[if inj.] and possibly hooker.

 

[yaco55]

In; Bellchambers, McVeigh, Watson, Hurley
Out; monfries (inj), Hooker, Skipworth, NLM

Bellchambers comes in for one week only for 2 reasons

1) Jolly is a premier ruckman
2) Give Ryder a rest.

Due to match ups there is no position for Hooker but he will be back in the following week.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hurley should only be in if we play him forward, as Sydney have no key targets with Hall on suspension.

 

[CarlosHernandez]

Dyson out??? Are you guys mad?!!?

 

[Donakebab]

Why is there so much hatred for Ricky and Skippy? They have been two of the most consistent players for us this year. Week after week people call form them to be dropped, but going by their form I don't see that happening.

I think Knighter might want to make a strong example of Spike and give him a week in the 2's. Will have to see what the damage is on Gus and will look at the side from then.

 

[eth-dog]

Three changes:

IN: McVeigh, Watson, T-Bell
OUT: Gus(inj), Hooker, NLM(omit)

If Spike goes to Bendigo I will seriously f***** spew.

There. That should change Matty's mind.

Possible outs:

Monfries - injured
Skippy - gotta go.
Dyson - keeps on hanging in there by the skin of his teeth.
NLM - Might need his size and strength against the Swans
Hooker - Might be time for a run at VFL level.

Possible ins:

McVeigh - definite
Watson - definite
Bellchambers - maybe
Jetta - maybe, I want him him.
Hurley - maybe time for run

You wouldn't have Houli then?

I'd rather McVeigh forward than Jetta, and leave Dyson where he is... or Dyson forward for McVeigh. That said, how's Jetta's Bendigo form been?

 

[Hencho]

INS: McVeigh, Watson
OUTS: Skipworth, Monfries (inj)

Jetta was BOG for us last week, playing in the back pocket

Forgot about Houli. He's another possibility.

Lonergan isn't doing enough to hold his place also.

 

[jetta2davey]

In: Watson, Mcveigh, Bellchambers, Hurley

Out: Skipworth, Lovett-murray, Hooker, Mcphee

 

[Minimum Chips]

In: Watson, McVeigh, Bolton
Out: Skipworth, Monfries (inj.)

 

[Mr Mosquito]

UMMM yes he is. Was quiet easily in out best players last night, was one of very few who won consistent contested ball when the opportunity arose for him.

Out: Monfries (if Inj), Hooker, NLM, Skipworth

In: Watson, Hurley, Mcveigh, Bellechambers

 

[bombers2011]

SO, I am not usually an advocate for making alot of changes at this time in the season, but I think next week it may just happen...

It's time for Hooker to take a rest (just like Zaha did) and for Hurley to come in.
Also, Paddy NEEDS T-Bell against Jolly, Jolly is gonna smash him if he has to go it alone..
In an ideal world Paddy would have a holiday for a couple of weeks, he looked really tired last night. Makes me worry that he is more likely to get injured...
And of course we can't rely on Hooker against an A-list ruckman again. That was a demolition last night.

It's going to be very very hard at the selection table next week.

Who goes out for Watson?
Lonergan, Skipworth, Hocking, Dyson are all on the cards but all playing well enough to hold their spots...

NLM for McVeigh, Hooker for Bellchambers, Hurley for Monfries(can play both ends)

INS: Hurley, Bellchambers, Watson, McVeigh
OUTS: Hooker, NLM, Monfries (inj), ?

 

[Winner]

We need Hurley in. We lack somebody to do the kick ins and somebody who really has a presence down back. Could throw him up forward too.
