Should be more changes but cupboard is meh.

 

[Ash05]

Who really cares. The players and the club don't

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Out: McGovern, Acres, Docherty, Fogarty, TDK
In: B Camporeale, Lemmey, Cincotta, L Young, Charleson

Haynes Weitering Charleson
Cowan O'Farrell Carroll
Cincotta Hewett F Young
Moir Curnow Williams
Motlop Lemmey Cripps
Pittonet Cerra O Hollands

B Camporeale, L Young, Fantasia, Lord, Evans

Get Hollands on ball, where his tenacity can be rewarded and his kicking won't matter as much in traffic. He halves so many contests that others don't.

Allow Cowan to attack from half back, not sit in a pocket doing a job. Even consider him getting some centre bounce attendances. He's not quick, but has a bit of burst when he attacks it.

Young in as second ruck, third tall forward or defence relief.

Moir as an attacking midfield/half forward.

Cincotta on to a wing. He has the pace and tackling ability to go one on one with most wingers.

 

[YeoShuey]

Knowing Voss and the MC, they'll do something stupid. E.g. dropping Cowan or something to keep senior players in.

 

[mochacinolatte]

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

I'd drop Cripps and Docherty. Potentially acres and Curnow too.

 

[Osc1]

I'd drop Cripps and Docherty. Potentially acres and Curnow too.

We don’t drop “leaders” at Carlton mate.

 

[Accidental genius]

Fortunately this game is in Melbourne so should only be a 60 point loss

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

We don’t drop “leaders” at Carlton mate.

Which one is the leader?

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Out: Integrety, desire, pride
In: Self Interest, High Fives, Niceness

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I'd drop Cripps and Docherty. Potentially acres and Curnow too.

And Weitering

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Voss won't read this, let alone listen to me...

But at this point, we absolutely MUST drop the 'big names' ...

Cerra's kicking tonight was absolutely atrocious... sorry, but that sort of i50 delivery is an absolute killer. I don't give a shit about his stats looking 'decent' ... he was shithouse.

Weitering has cracked the sads. Playing well within himself and a liability.

TDK - sorry, but if this guy is leaving (and let's be real its so obvious he is), he is not worth persisting with after dishing up another crap performance.

Doc - he is done... we knew this months ago but ffs he is ****en cooked mate

Acres - as above.

Gov - could quite possibly be the dumbest footballer in the comp. Conditional as it gets.

Fogarty - the ghost... he's so invisible he avoids getting dropped.

Cripps - the captain, the leader ... he's cracked the sads and checked out. Can't have that guy "leading" the team out. Call it managed if you want, but just get him the **** out and let him really think about how he wants to see this season out.

Williams - was our best player, will be a forced change.

Just get the kids in, they will get thumped, but at least we can look for +ve signs rather than just getting pissed at the blokes who should be performing well above what they are...

But Michael, if you are worried about getting the arse, and hoping that these senior players will step up for you, you're kidding yourself... drop them for a couple weeks, maybe they can find their "purpose" when they're playing on some shitty ground in the 2's. "We'll get to work" is pure lip service nonsense... make them actually get to work!

 

[Kruezing]

Pretty confident about this one they’ll be coming off a 5 day break … we’ll have fresh legs ensuring we finish over the top of them and only go down by under 39 points in the finish …

 

[jooce8891]

doc and acres just need to go, i'd genuinely rather play with 2 down

 

[Rustica]

Out - McGovern, Acres, Docherty, Evans, TDK, Fogarty, Williams*

Ins - Saad, B. Campo, L. Campo, Charleson, Lemmey, Cincotta, Boyd*

 

[RAPPA]

Out: deckchairs + injuries

In: whatever we buy at IKEA and can blame for not performing like award winning furniture

Dropping the deck chairs means we won’t be able to field a full side

 

[katmanblue]

We don’t drop “leaders” at Carlton mate.

Just follow them into the abyss.
