Delisted #41: Ben McNiece

[eth-dog]

Fairly sure it's simply a case of our defence being too slow, he had to drop Dea or Ambrose, and they rate Ambrose higher.

 

[srobbo]

Dea stiff, bit clearly a team balance decision with their midget fwd line.

We were too top heavy back their last week & it’s good to see we’ve tweaked accordingly.

 

[Ambrosia]

Doesn't make sense to me. Dea seems like a bloke suited to Collingwood's midsized forwards .

 

[yodellinhank]

ambrose was poo last game i thought. rated Dea. This ******* match committee.

-Horses for courses. The match committee have been on the money lately. They have the inside info, we just think we know and play favorites.

Good luck Ben!!

Winning doesn’t mean the match committee has made the best choices. Colyer and Ambrose were our worsts last week.

Ambrose was rusty but I thought Colyer worked his way into the game ok. Gave much more than Green has been giving. Like for like replacement

I don’t disagree but they were our two worst players. I don’t think they deserve credit for that.

Fair enough.

Such a massive game. We should be quicker if it is not too wet.

Nuh, he isn't quick enough to go with a Sidebottom (when resting forward) nor is he nimble enough to go with a Stephenson, Thomas or De Goey. McNeice gives us a genuine small

Sidebottom ain't quick mate. Agree on the other point though.

Only Sidebottom and Thomas are small there. WHE, Stephenson and De Goey all play tall.

I don't know for mine he is far better on smalls than Ambrose who retains his spot.

 

[Summer Nights]

This is one of those “here’s your one chance to shoot the lights out or be traded at year’s end” selections. Frustrating.

 

[Studly Baker]

Ambrose is more likely to leave a magpie shaped hole in the ground, I hope this is why he remains in the side and Dea does not.

Hoskin - Elliot, De Goey, Stephenson are all to quick for Matt Dea.

McNeice is a genuine small.

 

[Ambrosia]

Not arguing that. I just think Dea matches up better on those guys than Ambrose

 

[Red Black and Blue]

McNeice is a genuine small.

What are you actually saying? That there is genuine match up for McNiece, or just stating he is a small?

 

[DERO]

If only we still had Hank on the list.

 

[Panna Witchy Salitou]

Why do they think McNiece can do a job? He’s just a VFL plodder who plodded pretty ordinarily last week. FFS.

Could be because he’s done it before against Collingwood or it could be because with Redman injured we don’t really have anymore small defenders.

There are a myriad of common sense options that the last page and a bit have seemingly flat out rejected for some strange reason

Well, I’m just going off my own observations where I saw him get spanked against Carlton, then produce bugger all in the VFL since then...

 

[carnthedons]

My boy. Smash it you Bengali boss

Agreed. I would considered taking it a step further and dropped Ambrose as well .

No he’s saying there isn’t one for Dea, which i agree with esp given the conditions. Mcniece has one with J Thomas /Crocker.
