Analysis Changes v Suns - Round 10@Mars

[Charlie Bucket]

Naughton is playing.. both Dunkley and Treloar said so today as well

I suspect Naughts knee issues could be something that requires a clean out/oil change at seasons end and wouldn’t be fixed with a few weeks out of the game.

If the pains bearable, he plays. Hence continuing on last week.

Treloar deserves a flag.

Treloar deserves a flag.

Agreed. Hope we can get him one. I could see him retiring early if we managed to win one in the next few years.

That was just the best thing when he was named BOG last week. A real highlight in a season so far lacking in real pleasure.

I expect most would say the bottom performing players were McComb, Scott, McNeil (maybe Williams?)

Problem now is who to replace them with: Butler, Jones, Bedendo, JUH, Schache.

None of these are knocking the door down like West and Cleary have been and McComb, Scott and McNeil were killing it in the VFL. McComb is in maybe his 3rd game? And do bring some mongrel to the contest - was disposal as the issue. I am a fan of McNeil but hard to see what role he was playing. Scott did a couple do good things and has a few runs on the board so stays.

Roarke is closest but wasn’t great in the last VFL.

Crozier is the mystery - way too good for VFL and has AFL credibility.

I also think we need to keep being JUH in - then drop him down to get confidence and as soon as he has two good weeks bring him in - this is a future bet.

Apparently Hannan is a maybe - but can’t drop Buku.

Roarke for McComb
Crozier for Williams or McNeil

Don’t touch West! He gave us real pressure and intensity that we have missed.

Don’t touch Sweet.

I am not sure about two rucks unless the other ruck can play forward - English/Bruce is the best and I can see why Bevo wants to keep the structure. But as a back up no1 - he was very good. And a Sweet/English combo has a lot of advantages.

I am sure he would love the line in the AFL website:

“Sweet dominated the ruck”. I don’t care that Collingwood was using back up ruck. He Should be playing a lot more.

Have you not heard of Cody Weightman?

I’d like to see them both cleaning up around Naughton and putting that manic pressure on

English trained. More likely for next week though

 

[Graeme Cook]

At training yesterday English did full training including Mini practice match no problems moved well but gee he's dropped some weight.
JJ didn't train weightman no sling or bandage he said to us after training he's ok next week cheers me.

Well he was doing something then, just jogging?

 

[Golden_6]

Hope English can put the weight back on reasonably quickly. We’ve been bloody waiting for him to out on weight for 6 years!

 

[Chicago1]

I'll suggest some Lucky Meals to Timmy to gain weight. They've worked for me.

Weather update for Saturday as of today:

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

That looks like beautiful day forecast for Sat at Ballarat!
The Suns will right at home... lets pray for snow!

 

[JTCWBFC]

If we could get a fit and firing Keath, TOB and Crozier in defence it’d certainly help in the air.

A beautiful winters day in Ballarat I think feels 10 degrees cooler than a beautiful day on the Gold Coast

I wonder if we'd risk playing him purley as a forward and let Sweet & co look after the ruck?

 

[dish licker]

why would you not have Crozier in, a no brainer

 

[ScragCity]

Why Macrae look so chubby in the face??

 

[Dogsman16]

I’d play English. He got through full training and he can play the forward/ruck role for a game. We need all the firepower we can get every single game. Should be more than fine considering his hamstring has had extra recovery time.
