[CoastersFlag No.5]

Hammer on hearing the news

 

[ziad]

In: Ainsworth, Waterman, Kennedy
Out: Williams, Shuey, Hurn

Pace against the diogs not size?
well we dont have much pace so any scrap will help.
I am ambivalent on Ainsworth - i guess his selection is based on options available - all slow to my mind.

You have to wonder, what does hamish brayshaw have to do to get a game. He keeps getting overlooked.

Seems inevitable that Hamish will be delisted and Ainsworth retained.

I wouldn't mind chopping both to be honest, surely somebody like a Garcia from the Dogs may be chopped if lists are cut...

I suspected Hammer was seen as too slow to play against the dogs

 

[Chris_6678]

Why are they persisting with Ainsworth. Look I’m all for developing players but he is seriously not up to it.

And him being a debutant. Brander is a "winger" allegedly so I guess it's time to get a runner.

 

[Coasters7]

Ainsworth in for anyone is yuck. But Ainsworth for Shuey is a huge L. Would have even taken a, land of the giants, Brander in over him. Even then.. we have enough defenders to give Duggo a go up the ground

Ainsworth and Hutch in the same team is a big yikes. Can’t hide two momentum killers.

Ainsworth melts are my favourite BF melts

 

[Mulldogg]

Alright, it’s make or break for Ainsworth. If he’s been brought in for Shuey I want him attending a number of centre bounce downs and playing on ball.

Not guarding space in the corridor or wandering around like a lost sheep in the forward 50.

If the match committee are that convinced that he’s an AFL standard inside mid then let the fans see what he can actually do rather than being set up for ridicule as a whipping boy

 

[Sammy J]

Look, I’m not thrilled.

Can someone remind me what our W/L record is when Ainsworth plays?

 

[bUCKET__]

2 goals for Ainsworth incoming.

 

[southcoast]

Needs to ask Ainsworth to share whatever he has on Simmo that makes him keep on selecting him.

As Masten left the building last year he handed Ainsworth a ‘gift’

I hope he proves me wrong. I hope he racks up 30 touches at a 75+ disposal efficiency.

The other thing in Ainsworth favor over Hammer is Ainsworth has at least been adjusted to the speed of AFL level.
It's not the best argument for his inclusion but he'll be less of a deer in the headlights compared to Brayshaw.... maybe.

Better the spud you know?

Well at least the doggies hate their ins too.

7-1

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I reckon Ainsworth has come in to play the defensive winger role, which he played in his first couple of games this year. Allows Nelson and Cole to play as full-time defenders in the absence of Hurn.

One of O’Neill or Hutchings to go into the middle to replace Shuey. Probably the former given Hutch’s lack of match fitness, although he may spend some time tagging I guess.

Correlation does not... you can finish the rest

Oh yeah and he’s been so influential in all those victories. Purely coincidental.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Brayden offer's no redeemable AFL qualities. Opposite to Xavier, who's shown something every time he's played.

The fact Ainsworth is playing, despite already witnessing him be poor over and over again this year, shows a serious lack of creativity on the MC's part.


Trash.

 

[Ok Boomer]

JK and Waterman in - Great
Hurn rested - Makes sense
Williams out - Makes sense for team balance.

Pretty arrogant of Simmo to play the make a wish kid in such a crucial game but I hope he plays well too.
