Changes for Bombers

[Admiral Byng]

How about playing Pavlich and Tarrant in the forward line for the next 2 weeks?

Just to see what would happen if we play all the youngsters in the midfield and give them some targets to kick to. I'd like Harvey to try it, just for a change be attacking.

Leave Taz down back. it's his new possie and he has owned it for most of this year.

Pav at least. Taz looks so good back there...beat Miller hands down

dodd will not be cut from the list. the only way he wont be with us next year is if he is traded. he does try harder then most the others and his spoiling is fantastic. his decision making and skills not too good

I dunno about that. If Drum can show that he won't be a complete arseclown in the backline then you'd think Dodd is well and truly in the firing line - he being a complete arseclown.

Out:
Solomon, Dodd, Peake, Bradley

itai, why is solomon in the firing line, were doomed

 

[melbournedocker]

Ins: Ballantyne, Hayden, Walters, Pearce.

Outs: Solomon (inj), Dodd, Peake, Ibbotson (as much as I hate to say it).

 

[Outshined]

IN
Pearce (Why did he ever get dropped?)
Walters
Pratt
Ballantyne

OUT
Schammer/Soloman (Both have courage, yet both also have shocking skills)
Peake (woeful)
Dodd (woeful personified)
Bradley (Lost for words)

I don't care where Pratt plays, just play him! The least deserving member of our squad to be stuck in the WAFL at the moment. Consistently lays 10+ tackles each week and uses the ball well. Walters kicked 3 on the weekend and had 15 touches which means he was better than most of the "footballers" that ventured on to the MCG today. Hayden isn't worth risking for 2 games where he isn't even going to be match fit.

On reflection that is a very small (height wise) list of ins, yet we should still have enough tall players at both ends of the ground to compensate for this. We are really missing MJ as an extra option down back or up forward.

What will happen:

Out: Peake, Van Berlo

In: Hayden, Ballantyne

Unfortunately I have a feeling this will be correct. Probably even minus the Peake omission.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

I'd like to see (in order of preference):

Out
Soloman (inj), Peake, Ibbo, Bradley, Grover

In
Hayden, Balla, Pearce, Clarke, Pratt
​

But sadly I suspect we will probably see the genius of our selection panel do the following:

Out
Soloman (inj), Van Berlo, DeBoer, Suban

In
Gilmore, Thornton, Hayden, Balla
​

 

[bigpav]

out: soloman (inj), peake, bradley, grover, dodd

in: balla, pearce, clarke, pratt, walters

 

[Alfonz]

I've been in Argentina for a few weeks and its good to see nothing has changed when I get back. Peake and Dodd are still useless. I will be very surprised to see Dodd get dropped, I've been wishing for that for many years.

 

[freo grover]

Out: Solly, Peake, Bradley, Ibbo
In: Ballantyne, Pearce, Clarke, Hayden

Realistically

In: Hayden, Ballantyne
Out: Solly, Van Berlo

I just can't see those dumbasses dropping Peake, Ibbo or Dodd

 

[millennium]

elavate shepard he is playing well enough at east perth. couldn't be any worse than dodd as third tall down back. use the remaining games to cull the lemons and find a kpb for the future. ...

Harvey was pretty ropeable after the loss, so expect heads to roll.
There should be 4 changes so your first bit shouldn't be too far off the mark.

 

[Stronzo]

Agreed on Ibbo being dropped. You never know what you're going to get with that guy, which isn't good enough.

[IbbosBFF]

Schammer, De Boer, Bradley and hopefully Pearce

Peake, Pearce, JVB and Walters fighting out the last spot imo. Really hope Peake gets dropped
