Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. Sydney Swans (Round 10, Fri 24/05 7:50pm)

[Good_Old]

Wills was ok - he definitely gets another chance.

I disagree and that's okay.

 

[nahnah]

In: Moore, DeGoey, Quaynor/Sier (depends who does best this week)
Out: Langdon (inj), Varcoe (suspended), Wills

 

[legendstatus]

Travs gone for a week or 2 I did say.

No way Varcoe goes got that!

No chance

Unfortunately he isn't your Ablett or Fyfe. Will be given at least a week.

 

[mike123]

Out: Varcoe (susp) Langdon(inj), Wills
In: Wells, Moore, Cox

 

[adammania9]

I thought Wills was pretty good today and his seven tackles were a team high. Should stay in and run with Parker next week.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Any word from Bucks in the presser what the issue with Langdon was?

 

[Finnishpie]

I disagree and that's okay.

Yeah, he's not a long term option. But just given our injuries and today, we'll lose Langdon, maybe Varcoe, then next to be dropped would be Brown, who was unsighted.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Brown had 2 kicks for the game...

....and?

His handpasses to advantage in heavy traffic are excellent. The antithesis of Treloar.

He chased and tackled very well in the first half. Easily one of our better players to half time. Fell away in the 2nd half when the experienced players finally stepped up and did something.

Langdon, Howe, Phillips, Aish, Varcoe and Greenwood were all much worse than Brown today.

 

[jonbe54]

I’m just trying to get my head around the idea that a player can get weeks for bumping a payer with his arms down while going for the ball,while another player can get off for deliberately running at a player who doesn’t have the ball and elbowing him in the head.

Two reasons for that -

1. It's the AFL love child Ablett

2. The other wears Black and White stripes.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Wills and Brown probably lucky to escape being omitted as (I'm assuming) the selection panel won't want to make too many changes.

Omitted before Aish, Greenwood, Varcoe or Phillips?

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

I thought Wills was pretty good today and his seven tackles were a team high. Should stay in and run with Parker next week.

Finally a voice of reason in here

 

[TradeDraft]

Varcoe’s gone. He won’t be available until post QB.

No Big Loss and Easily Replaced

No Big Loss and Easily Replaced

In one way yes Dave but in another not so much - no one chases and tackles like Varks mate - he brings an intensity and ferocity married to his speed and judgement that is a rare package.

Stats never tell the full story, intensity and unrelenting pressure have their effects on opposition players.

He was the lowest ranked player on ground at half time from either team

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Would not be surprised if Adams is back next week. The VFL game will be interesting tomorrow, and see how Wells, Quaynor and Sier go in particular.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

If Franklin is still out next week, l would also give Moore another week off, and let him have a good two week block of footy before the bye.

 

[Good_Old]

Varcoe

indeed.

If Phillips hasn't been omitted already, I can't see it happening this week. The pig was fine.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

No Big Loss and Easily Replaced

Lol.

Varcoe was good. His pressure and finishing is wonderful. Can think of a few players immediately who are much more easily replaced.

 

[unplugged]

My biggest concern at this stage is whether we'll be unlucky enough to cop Basil on the commentary.

He was as horrendous as always on the Essendon vs Sydney game last Friday night.

 

[Stifler's mom]

Unfortunately he isn't your Ablett or Fyfe. Will be given at least a week.

Maybe he could borrow Buck’s Brownlow for a few days....

 

[unplugged]

If Varcoe goes, so does Parker.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

If Varcoe goes, so does Parker.

Parkers looks worse, as he raised his elbow and collected Ziebell's jaw

 

[morax]

The Reid/Cox debate isn't clear. Reid is much better bellow the legs and in close. I like mike123 changes with Cox in and Reid maintaining his spot.

Play them both

Bucks not ruling the possibility out.
