Possible Match-Ups


​

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Not sure about ins and outs.

Ben Camporeale deserves a call up, but not sure who comes out there.

Easy lord goes out of the middle

If Cerra is a question mark then he should come in. Although I think it was just cramp.

I'd also do Wilson/Boyd for Carroll.

Evans had a good game also but we all know how he goes in the seniors..

Also Lemmey was brilliant but not sure who he comes in for.

I'd love to debut Wilson on the harder, faster surface. Eagles have some toe.

Lord was good.

Not sure what game you were watching

 

[COACH25]

Lord was good.
Hudson was good.

Not sure what game you were watching

Hudson was okay on debut
Just think Pitto would offer us more in the ruck and allows TDK to play forward with curnow with McKay being out.

Lord kills us every game constantly doesn’t put his head over the footy. 2nd to it . Turns it over and is to slow in hand. Could pull constant clips of it.

Next 2 weeks dont even matter

If we are even half serious these guys and North are a walk over

Not that we are any good but the next 2 are deplorable

Next 3 should be party time
Rest McKay for the next two and bring him back against port

 

[Cringle]

Eagles are pretty competitive at Optus.

We are barely a middling side right now.

This is a genuine 50/50.

Wilson for Carroll and Lemmey for McLovin.

 

[Michael Jezz]

We would.be a better team with Moir instead of Fantasia, based on both their performances today
In Moir, Wilson, B campo, binns
Out Fantasia, docherty, Acres, white

Important we win the next 3.

They matter - hoping we can find some 4 QTR form.

 

[Schoonerman]

Easy lord goes out of the middle

Doubt it
He is a big part of our future
A gun

Pitto is not the future, HOK may be

Let’s see these clips then…

 

[TENACIOUS]

Time to give Lord an opportunity as inside-mid and give Cripps a rest up forward. We need to stop having such a Cripps reliant midfield.

In: Wilson, Young & B.Camporeale
Out Fogarty, White & Acres

FB: Haynes - Weitering - Docherty
HB: Saad - JSOS - Hollands
C: Walsh - Lord - Young
R: TDK - Cerra - Hewett
HF: Williams - Cripps - Fantasia
FF: Motlop - HOK - Curnow

B: Cincotta, B.Camporeale, McGovern, Wilson
S: Carroll

 

[Red Bull]

Carroll is painfully slow.
Not sure how Wilson is going in the reserves but would like to see him at senior level at some stage.
Perhaps Cowan might be ready.
Can’t carry both Fantasia and Fogarty who remain largely unsighted for the most part in games.
Recall Durdin and/or Moir for another taste of senior action perhaps …

 

[Ash05]

Fantasia has to be dropped. Should not have come straight back in and it showed. Offered nothing other than his goal.

 

[Jimmae]

OUT: Cincotta, Lord
IN: McKay, Wilson

If we're not playing Lord through the middle, we shouldn't be playing him on the wing or a flank. It's helping grind down our squad too much, when they need support in terms of being able to run in numbers both ways.

Maybe we'll go with dropping O'Keeffe or Carroll instead, but it leaves in an awkward spot in terms of how Walsh and Lord are used, and how we go about securing quality chains of possession from a stoppage win.

Perfectly good game to rest players after we turned tonight into a slog, so maybe start with Motlop or Acres as sub.

He wasn't in the middle. 1 centre bounce attendance.

Playing him on the wing is so frustrating to see. He's doing something as opposed to being an outright liability, but we can and should do better. Where's someone like Wilson in all this?

Integrate pace and skill, continue to try and improve our ball movement, and our ability to run out games. I don't think there's another team in the league that would play him on the wing... look no further than the Dogs and Kennedy for a clear example.

Cincotta didn't get the ball, but he blanketed Merrett when he switched to him after quarter time.

 

[Jimmae]

Cincotta didn't get the ball, but he blanketed Merrett when he switched to him after quarter time.

And Martin and Parish bobbed up for even more ball instead? As if we can't get Acres or Hollands to do similar, and they'll actually provide an outlet.

Cincotta in midfield has repeatedly been a low possession stopping role.

Acres and Hollands can't tag.

We brought Cincotta in for a reason.
