Opinion Changes vs lions

[Schulzenfest]

SPP for Drew more like-for-like than SPP for Woodcock imo. Don't think we need to go too inside mid heavy, especially if we're playing Houston there now.

Also I can only assume any call to bring in Farrell is a bad joke.

SPP is not cancelled and on the table confirmed.

SPP in, Drew to sub. Woodcock works his ass off. He’s one of the reasons we could get through saints press. His gut running between half forward and half back was amazing. Even if he wasn’t used he runs to draw a defender. Underrated performance last night.

 

[Pickett4GOAT]

Out- Drew In- Powell-Pepper.

 

[ROBBBO]

I'm not seeing Drew getting dropped. He was excellent inside last night. Deserves to stay in

 

[Interstater]

I've only seen the first quarter of the maggies game so far but SPP seemed to be just kicking and hoping rather than trying to hit targets.
Did that improve?

AFAIK its always been a weakness of his game and I'm enjoying our AFL teams hitting of targets just now.

 

[The Hobo]

Was I the only one that thought Drew was very good

Yup, very surprised to see him being listed as out by many.

He was excellent in the first half when the Saints were somewhat competitive in the middle.

SPP in for Woodcock, Woodcock to sub.

That's it, everyone else was good

 

[NoddyHolder]

I thought stiffy woodcock was pretty good. Maybe I need to check the statline but he seemed to do alright?

I watched the replay this morning and Woodcock was a lot better than I realised last night. Involved in a lot of important link up play. Deserves to keep his spot for now

Does Bonner come straight back in or through ressies??

 

[OneGreatClub]

OMG we really do have a wealth of choices

Ressies. 6 weeks is a long time to miss and he isn't a cemented player.

Fair call!

Drew is blue-collar depth. He will always be in the conversation about being dropped or listed as an emergency/medical sub when we have close to our full midfield available.

 

[DBrowJ]

I'm comfortable to remain the same, always stuff to work on, but everyone was well involved.
SPP has only had 2 games back? Give him another and have him fired up to smash some crows

He had some nice moments with the ball as the game progressed. What was impressive about SPP's game was his dominance in the contested space to gain territory or feed the runners. Also laid eight tackles including a goal saving effort and a ferocious tackle that halted the momentum of a Glenelg attack. Against Brisbane he could be crucial in at least neutralizing the clearance battle but I would understand if we stuck with Drew. I am not necessarily a fan of taking out Woodcock for SPP for two reasons. 1) Woodcock is playing solid football and is fitting in really well as a high half forward who helps link play 2) I always feel we look better as a unit without the extra big body in the rotation.

Breaker Breaker....just wondering for my fantasy team if Jones is injured or dropped? anyone know if he'll be playing any time soon?

Ankle surgery. Out for at least a month.

SANFL and if he can dominate on the wing he could be the wing rotation for Amon/Houston (until Duursma returns). I just don't trust Bonner anywhere across the back 6 as he seems to lack the intensity in 50/50 contests that you need when you defend as high as we do.

 

[PAFC66]

No neale.
We should be winning this comfortably

Woodcock came in for Butters and incidentally when Boyd’s on the field he always seems busy - a Zac trait. Woodcock is providing adequate presence for the injury recovering Butters.

i think the sooner we get SPP in the better, only the coaching staff would know his exact fitness levels, he's the player we need in the midfield against the better teams to stop the momentum buy inserting him as the enforcer in the midfield to crash through and get the ball going our way

I don’t think fitness is the or his issue, needs an extended run in the magoos. Even after his match against the Bays, we aren’t crying out for him at the moment and he needs to understand this is the level he is destined for if he doesn’t pull his head in. Some tough love for another 2-3 weeks.

Going to be a good Robbie replacement in a couple of years - although two different players and you will never truely replace a player of Grays ilk

 

[Janus]

If Pep is ready, Pep comes in. He can play forward and mid and save us a rotation on the bench. He makes us a better team, the same way I’d expect Butters and Duursma to play as soon as they’ve got touch.

Ankle injury, out for about 3-4 weeks.
