Preview Round 13 Swans vs Tigers

[Dubai Quacker]

Sheldrick evidently back to sub.

Cleary dropped.

Cox …. DQ has now lost the faith.

Saying Robert’s is out with illness

Agree on Mitchell being dropped is tough

He sick of copping shite on here.

Should have said “dropped till he learns to not be a panic merchant”

 

[kickthething]

Must be a little scared of dropping Lloyd

Love to see the photos he must have

 

[Bloods86]

Lol at Bice, Lloyd, Francis

WTF at Cleary, Mitchell

 

[TasSixer]

Incredibly disappointing team changes. No balls from Cox, dropping young players that did nothing wrong as a scapegoat. I'm no Ladhams fan but he was our best key forward. Mitchell showed more intent than most senior players. Cleary should be playing. Hamling out fine, Roberts illness, can't argue that.

Switch McLean, Lloyd and Bice out for Ladhams, Cleary and Mitchell.

Edit: Ladhams for Buller due to injury

 

[MF]

Don't really care about Mitchell but I'm a bit disappointed to see Cleary dropped. I think he gives us a bit of defensive pressure up forward that we sorely need. Also think he's shown enough to suggest he'll be best 22 in the near future so we may as well keep getting games into him.

I don’t disagree with most of this but Ladhams is injured, not dropped.

Cleary the kid has the pressure factor let him develop and give him a go in the guts. Seasons a write off anyways cmon Dean

Apologies I missed that. Buller instead then

 

[Chaisa]

I feel like Cleary’s cards were marked after he was sub last week and did little when he came on (albeit in circumstances where he could not have impressed). Clearly there’s something we’re missing.

I would love to have heard the discussion….this for me is a massive flag on our coach. From the cheap seats it seems the one kid we have coming through who has the blood ethos in him is dropped whilst a Lloyd, who screws us offensivelyband defensively is retained. Hard to fathom.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I do like how Cox’s idea is to run near the same midfield that got pantsed last week

But don’t stress guys Francis is back to do the same as Hamling

He did more than half the team mate

Dean is so soft and refuses to get rid of Lloyd why couldn’t it be him and not Ladhams out

I feel like Coxs cards need some kind of mark

 

[Dubai Quacker]

As I noted in my preview, Ladhams looked hurt at the end of the last game.

But no mention of it in the injury report.

Now he’s out injured.

Honestly it’s hard to support this club at times.

 

[TasSixer]

If Sheldrick is sub, fire Cox on the spot

 

[Kbroome]

If you are talking about Rowbottom in basically the worst form of his career and Sheldrick who was promoted to the senior side because he was supposedly in great form, well then that's not much of an endorsement of Sheldrick.

FWIW Rowy has a clear role and he does it. Sheldrick does not do that role. So the comparisons are hardly fair IMO.

Rowbottom last 80 games

PA average 25.2
Tackles 7.6

Sheldrick (3 game sample size)

18.66 PA
Tackles 6

Yes there is a slight difference and a small sample size but i'd say Sheldrick is performing pretty well all things considered especially when you look at his offensive output in comparison

 

[wills2g]

under the context of them not giving up on the season then the changes are good

get the senior core back, try let them cook to maybe make 8th spot

under the context of what most of us think, which is that the season is doomed

then the changes are plain ass

 

[Dubai Quacker]

But don’t stress guys Francis is back to do the same as Hamling

He’s not running the same midfield.

Sheldrick is sub (as always happens to the player named 5th on the bench), Mills into the mids.

But my god it’s weak selection changes. Sheldrick and Cleary scapegoated for a god awful performance by some of the senior players.

You are surely not comparing Sheldrick to Rowbottom's last 80 games where he would've basically been a top 5 player for us in that time ????

 

[Kbroome]

He had 4 handballs in a half thats it.

No matter where your playing thats shocking output

 

[catchem02]

Team selection What a f….. joke . And Lloyd keeps his spot
