[Michael Jezz]

Would like to see Binns in for Fantasia. Can’t imagine Martin would be fit enough yet for a game of this calibre.
Young out for Gov.
Hollands for someone. I’d drop Williams but I bet he won’t be dropped.

I would give Binns 6 games but don't put your house in Binns making it at afl. Light, average disposal.

Agree - I said after the Geelong game that, in comparison, our smalls seem 'small' - light, easily buffeted of the ball.

 

[Arr0w]

I'd give Binns games based on readiness for the next level, not before, nor just to see if he is capable of stepping up

Nothing wrong with players developing at VFL level and when they have a development rise, give them a block of games to see if they can handle the tempo

If they can't, send them back to continue to work on their deficiencies

Many will make the transition, many won't

[SkyhorseTamer]

Once again my original post was to show the thin margin between success and failure in that last minute play only.

Plenty of other questions there, hoping that you get some answers for them from someone.

Your original response was to spin that Walsh's decision wasn't wrong. Then that the margins are tight... Walsh decision was wrong. So were many others.

 

[JJBagger]

There will be no moo'ing tomorrow night

So that means that Williams will play? The way some in the media have talked about him today suggests it's likely he'll miss with injury

 

[bradfisher14]

That's disappointing. I know he's young and we need to manage him through this early stage of his career, but I thought he was excellent against the Pies. His performance warranted selection ahead of Williams easily.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We absolutely got out of jail in that semi last year.

This could be the toughest game we’ve faced since the preliminary final.

Saw how hard they went in a pre season game. They'll absolutely be tough.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Your original response was to spin that Walsh's decision wasn't wrong. Then that the margins are tight... Walsh decision was wrong. So were many others.

No it wasn't. My original response was to a different poster regarding how thin the margins were between success and failure.

I said that in a parallel universe Cerra takes the ball and hands off to an umarked Walsh who runs and carries before unloading to whoever Frampton was on who kicks the 8th goal that Frampton had kicked on him for the night.

I passed no judgement on Walsh or his positioning.

not as of yesterday, but Carlton are the kings of the late change

but i have no knowledge on this

 

[swuzzlebubble]

What's wrong with Hectares?

I'm an old fashioned guy

 

[Blue since 72]

Hmmm, you seem to be describing O Hollands as well, Ollie's kicking is fairly average and he's definitely light.

 

[M_I_G]

Doubt Voss and co will have the courage to go one ruck vs the monster that is Gawn but would love for them to give it a go again.

Was a bold decision to start two rucks, and while it’s improved elements of our game, I still think the team benefits more overall from a different structure.

Please no to Binns - needs more time - especially against the big bods of Melbourne.

Looks about right - Boyd to HBF though - need his kicking rebound

 

[thegreatbeast]

Binns should be played against a North/Hawthorn if he is to play. That was the wrong game to debut him. I hate a sub debut. He needs to work through the nerves etc.

Didn't he win the reserves B&F?
So what's the next level?
Surely that gets him a starting guernsey for a game. Can't be worse than fantasia.

Absolutely

Of course he can be , he's not ready yet. Reserves B&F means very little, didn't Gibbons win two VFL best and fairest awards? Let him continue to develop. No way he should play against Melbourne.

By the way, I wouldn't have Fantasia in the team either.

 

[YeoShuey]

9 - Matt Stevic
11 - Curtis Deboy
22 - Nathan Williamson
32 - Jacob Mollison

Agree with you but to be fair he only got the call up at the last minute to replace Fantasia. Might not have been planned that way as he was just a hold over.

 

[passmark]

Ins and out nowhere near as important as effort and pressure.

By now these guys should know 4/4 of pain is the only recipe that works for us.

 

[Captain Judd]

For now they’re the ins and outs. There might be a 4th.

Williams didn’t make it. So he’s also out unfortunately.

 

[thegreatbeast]

Fair, I completely forgot about that.

 

[JJBagger]

So Hollands, Martin, Gov and Marchbank in?
