Changes dogs v GWS

[Golden_6]

Khamis should be out, but with a backline that lumbering we really need that last forward slot to be filled by him so we have the option to swing him back for Lobb if we're not getting enough mobility down back.

We also need someone that can play backup ruck. Lobb is clearly the best suited but very rarely does a defender head onto the ruck.

Buku will be thrown to the wolves in that role as he has before.

I think the key is that all of these guys can be moved during a game. Lobb, JOD & Buku have enough experience at both ends, that any move in game wouldn’t be ‘desperate’ but based on logic.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

I wouldn't be too concrete about figuring out who will play forward. I anticipate Bevo would be willing to change who plays up forward anyway if what we start with doesn't work.

Is Buss slow? I really don’t know anything about him.

If he is slow I hope it's not Collins level slow.

 

[AFDogs]

Ok finally people will shut up about Buss. Good.

He’s no Vandermeer but he’s also no slower than 80% of key defenders

 

[Angak]

Is Jones being dropped?

I've been surprised by how old he’s looked this year — he falls over way too much for my liking.

 

[The White Mouse]

If only 1 in 5 KDs competition wide were faster than him I guess I could live with that.

 

[Doggies7]

Yeah sounds like Jones might be the one making way for Buss and not a re-shuffling for Darcy. May go a little smaller with Cleary as 3rd tall then or alternatively smaller up forward with Poulter / Kennedy as 3rd tall if JOD or Khamis stays back.

JOD looks like he will be second ruck this week.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Good news on the Buss. Been dominating VFL for a long time so hopefully gets a decent stint to acclimatise in the ones

Presume they'll keep Lobb back to start but don't have a lot of confidence in the Khamis/ODonnell double threat up forward. Think they'll swing Lobb forward at some stage

 

[Mofra]

If only 1 in 5 KDs competition wide were faster than him I guess I could live with that.

He's quicker than Sam Collins. Maybe on par with Weitering.
If we're throwing him onto Jesse Hogan on debut I'd be worried. Reports of Jones being dropped.

Perhaps JOD to Hogan?

 

[DognBones]

You would expect Lobb to play on Hogan. Buss to CHB. Placing Buss on Hogan in his first game would be throwing him to the wolves.

The only one I can find mentioning Jones dropped is Jay Clark and it seems more like him hypothesising.
If a tall does get dropped I'm guessing it would be Khamis with Poulter the replacement going off of training.
JOD seems to have been switched back to that fwd/ruck role.

This would make the most sense.
Having Jones on Hogan, Lobb & Buss on the other talls. With JOD up forward.

Not sure if Khamis keeps his spot. May do for flexibility purposes. I think he is lucky that GWS have a tall set up.

Khamis is one of the quickest of our talls so it makes sense to have him on the bench playing whichever end needs some extra pace.

Buku might have some straight line speed but he’s an absolute liability when the ball hits the deck which neutralises any pace advantage he might have.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

So Buss, Vanders and Harmes

For McNeil (inj), Darcy (inj), and??

Probably has to be Hynes

I don't know if both VDM and Harmes will return this week

 

[Bald]

I'm assuming it's Buss and Vanders in for McNeil and Darcy.

 

[TheScriptorWL]

I’m happy to ride THE BUSS This week! Have a feeling he’ll be one of those oddball players that develop easier at AFL level than In the seconds. But we must remember he’s not the saviour messiah of this backline, at least not yet anyway.

Buss has a great intercept game. However, the deficiencies in his game continue to concern. Last week for example, there were multiple instances where he turned the ball over clumsily. These mistakes went unpunished due to the quality of the opposition. But against Greene? Hogan?

He also has the Caleb Daniel

Yips, often halting ball movement for the perfect kick down the line that never comes. A frustrating part of BEVOBALL footy that we’ve luckily moved on from, for the most part anyway.

 

[bobs head soup]

We've used 2 top 10 picks on kpd prospects over many years.

Part of me just wants a peak Bevo move to play them as our tall forwards.

 

[The City Boyz]

I'm assuming it's Buss and Vanders in for McNeil and Darcy.

Think same but Poulter in for Khamis as well

 

[JohnnySteel]

Hope we get to see the boys reaction to Bus’ debut at training.

 

[go the dogs]

when is Bevos weekly presser anyone know?

 

[maddog37]

In before people turn nasty and crucify him for his mistakes in the game day thread. Go Jed go.
