Preview R12: Changes v West Coast

[hey shorty]

His misses weren't terrible today. They didn't miss by too much.

They needed to be kicked. He doesn't give himself many opportunities currently so he needs to make them count

 

[King Elvis]

I wish Riley Knight was up and about

Thank you for that valuable insight. I especially like the changes you suggested in this, the changes thread.

What I want...

Out:
Douglas, Henderson

In:
Thommo, Wigg


What I suspect might happen...

Out:
Henderson, Milera

In:
Thommo, Mackay



For me, we have to keep the balance of inside / outside players the way it is. To be honest, it's pretty tough to justify any of the 3 of Hendo, Douglas or Milera staying in the side right now. Everyone else from today's 22 deserves their spot next week.

It's pretty obvious that we'll only make 1 or 2 unforced changes. It's equally obvious that Thommo will be coming in - surely we've learnt by now that this needs to be for an inside player right? Lyons and M Crouch were both in our best 8 players today. Douglas was already lucky to be selected today, and in our worst 4. Should be a no-brainer but I'm just not getting a vibe that it will actually happen. I fear the coaching staff may wish to "release" Dougie into the outside role currently occupied by Milera, with Mackay replacing Hendo and Thommo replacing Dougie on the inside. I don't like it. Dougie can't hit the side of a house by foot right now and his confidence is just way down. He's stopped running.

I wouldn't have a massive problem with Mackay coming in for either of Hendo or Milera, but I'd just prefer to see Wigg finally get his shot as I feel his elite footskills could be important on the massive Domain Stadium.

I wouldn't be giving Wigg his 1st game playing away against WCE at Subi

I recognize the good McGovern does believe me, and I feel that he's an inch away from just looking like a star during a game, but I don't think a short rest is gonna hurt him.

The trouble with putting him back in the sanfl is playing as a forward in that side is a joke with the amount of spuds that cant hit a target...
or dont even try to. I feel he is about to hit his straps with the way hes starting to grab them and the goal kicking will come.There we plenty
that missed shots on goal today.

 

[hey shorty]

For the first time in a long time ae have consistent high level performers in the SANFL pushing good performers.

I do wonder if Milera and McGoverns name was Wright or Mackay whether the same diacussion would be had.

 

[GreyCrow]

Depending on what the clubs plans are with Thommo ie whether there is an extended rest or it was only ever going to be this week , then Thompson in Douglas out. Leaves it a midfield move and doesn't impact on any other positions.

Henderson may find himself a benefit of a big win - minimal change policy

 

[Sam_Malone]

In: Brad Crouch
Out: Richard Douglas

Then the team would be (almost) perfect.

Would like Tom Doedee to take Henderson spot before the end of the season.

 

[Mike Smyth]

B Crouch must come in this week. For a team that is crying out for quality midfielders we can't just leave a potential A grader wasting away in the sanfl for another game.

 

[King Elvis]

Don't be soft TSR; we need big game players - throw him into the fire and see if he can handle it.

 

[billy fragos]

Thompson for Milera, we are playing well no need to change too much.

Maybe Mackay for Henderson.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Don't be soft TSR; we need big game players - throw him into the fire and see if he can handle it.

Agreed. Would like to see Wigg get a game sooner rather than later.

you cant be serious.......Doedee?????

 

[hey shorty]

Wiggs footskills would be handy against the web defence. They flat track a fair bit over there, need to match them at the contest

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Don't be soft TSR; we need big game players - throw him into the fire and see if he can handle it.

Yes we do need big game players so it's a huge ask to expect a 1st gamer to be a big game player

I would rather throw Menzel in the deep end

 

[WaynesWorld19]

No ...when they were, the subject of ALL posts was the "Golden Pass " .......the Crows and Noble in particular won't play the kids ...and when they do they drop them after 1 game

Fast forward and the club is doing what this board f ......g carried on about like gooses .....and BF is still not happy

I feel dumber for reading this thread ......going to watch something intellectual by comparison .....family guy

 

[billy fragos]

you cant be serious.......Doedee?????

He has been very good in the SANFL since his 2nd or 3rd game

 

[hey shorty]

you cant be serious.......Doedee?????

He would be close

 

[Sam_Malone]

you cant be serious.......Doedee?????

Why would I be?

 

[MWPP]

Sorry for the intrusion.
Love how most of you seem to be suggesting changes despite coming off a clinical performance- bodes well for your team's depth
Crows are easily my favourite opposition team, so all the best for the rest of the season , regardless of what happens this weekend
#weflyasone
Are any of you flying over for (or otherwise attending, if you're based in Perth) the game this weekend?
(I had the privilege of being at last year's game at Domain, and unfortunately, also flew over to A.O last year ....but expecting this game to be much closer than either of those 2 )
