Preview Changes for Brisbane

[Scorpus]

Out: Wright (omitted), Laird (omitted), S. Thompson (rested), Podsiadly (injured/omitted)
In: Cameron, M. Crouch, Lyons, Lynch

Grigg into the starting team for a full game, M. Crouch the sub.

Laird and Wright back to the twos to find some form, replaced by Lyons and Cameron respectively.

S. Thompson still appears to be hampered by injury, so it's a rest for him.

Podsiadly should take a week off from his hit in the ribs. Replaced by Lynch regardless of his form in the twos this week.

L. Thompson should be dropped, but we have no one else, especially if Talia doesn't come up. If Talia goes down, Rutten will have to come in, and should be the travelling emergency

 

[Elite Crow]

Out Laird, Wright
In Cameron, Lyons

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Out: L. Thompson, Pods (rested) Wright
In: Rutten, Lynch, Cameron

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Out: L. Thompson, Pods, Wright
In: Rutten, Cameron, M. Crouch

 

[Damp Squarie]

Its a worry - Luke Thompson is about as handy as a wire-netting water bag, Rutten is slower than treacle on a cold day and Wright needs to stop ducking his head like Tex needs to park the fend-off. Dangerous game coming up so therefore we should win whoever comes in.

Out: Luke Thompson, Matty Wright
In: Lyons, CC or M Crouch

 

[hey shorty]

LT cant go out unless we plan on throwing Siggins or Shaw in. Rutten comes in if Talia isnt right but not in any other case. Brisbanes dangerous players are all short people, completely different to this week.

In

Cameron- tell him to run until he dies. He wont be fit but we need a spark.
Lyons- Play him in the middle and leave him there.
Crouch- Same deal. Only issue is its gonna make us even slower.
Ellis Yolman- one more chance
Smack- play for your life. Show some intensity

Out

Wright- I like vanilla, unless its melted. Not enough
Grigg- 9 ordinary touches in over a half.
Thommo- gets it, gives it away
Hendo- needs more fitness, but I still think he is overrated.
Pods- Sore and not giving what he was. Tiring as to be expected.

Otten, Jenkins and LT on notice. We need aggression and work rate whoever comes in or out, without it the changes wont matter in the slightest

 

[Geoffa32]

Danger needs to be an out. He is not bigger than the club and is not right.

 

[Vooligan]

As long as Pods is not there I don't care! He's either injured and needs a rest, or playing terribly and needs to be dropped.

Would like to see Matt Crouch back in as well. Perhaps for Wright?

 

[smoovy]

All of a sudden the likes of Hanley, Rockliff, Zorko, Greene look uncontainable. I expect them to buzz around creating all sorts of havoc.

 

[BobaFett]

Lol pods can't get dropped mate. It doesn't matter how bad he plays, he has been stinking it up for a month. Lynch to stay in SANFL for rest of year and then ask for a trade

[redhorse]

Jets, Lyons & M Couch IN
Pods, L & S Thompson OUT

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

out: our current back 6

in: some defenders who can ****ing defend.

 

[BobaFett]

No change

Pods had a few knocks, so sando has perfect excuse. Lynch to stay in SANFL and take a deal in melbourne. Great stuff

Otten was terrible today, second time in three weeks he has been destroyed by a third tall lead up player

Some of the defensive efforts and defensive running was useless. Douglas, Thompson and wright were lazy and let the team down on numerous occasions letting their players run past them.

Would really like it it betts showed up for a full game this year, instead of one or two quarters

 

[Cap]

Out : any player that the club considers will be there in 2015 and had an injury

In: any player the club isn't sure about that might not be there in 2015... or had potential

 

[BobaFett]

Do you not understand our coach? Pods is literally one of his best mates

If he plays terrible, he will be held to different standards. e.g taking a defender, helping tex

If he gets injured and plays terrible, sando will mention him as brave and pushing through

Guy can deadset do no wrong

Only outs would be L Thompson for Rutten. He will drop a young player for an old player, it's the way he coaches

Matt crouch will play when Thompson retires

 

[Firewalker]

Likely AFC Changes

In:
Lynch
M.Crouch
Rutten (Even though he's been parked at the wreckers for 3 weeks and is moving like he's got 10 flat tires, 2 cracked axles and a broken chassis)

Out:
L.Thompson (On a hiding to nothing, as a 3rd defender he'd serve up a lot more than what Otten is providing)
Grigg (Standard Sando; 'play young player 2 weeks sub then drop him' you can almost set your watch to it)
Pods/Wright (It seems like Sando will only drop Pods if he is literally bed ridden from his Injuries, if he makes a Lazarus style recovery Wright will be the next likely to be discarded)

Looking at the personnel side of things you'd ideally like to have Charlie Cameron available ready to go to provide some defensive pressure up forward especially as there's no one else providing any anywhere else on the ground especially with our midfield 'Downhill Skiers club' adding members by the week. Also limiting the damage of the members of the 'Butcherers of the football under pressure club' should see 2nd tier players like Brodie Martin stay permanently in the forward 50 arc, while David 'rest on my mediocre laurels' MacKay somehow still needs to be forced to grow a pair and finally, Rory Laird is also the other member of 'BOTFUP' who needs to desperately find his place as while he's been pissed around by the coaches a bit this year he still just looks to be pining for last seasons halcyon days in defence.

 

[pjcrows]

I'm for changes but Rutten is done in 4 weeks. Thompson shouldn't go out for him. If Talia is out then yes, but not at the expense of a developing kid.

 

[mattymac]

Grigg will be dropped. Bookmark it. Sanderson is a nuffy.

 

[King Elvis]

Rutten should've played today, don't know if there is another game for him - unless they drop Otten. Which I'd consider.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Out: My caring for this season
In: Despondency until pre-season when I'll probably say stupid things like "Hey Mckernan is looking sharp this year"

 

[JP Sauce]

Out: Pods, Wright, Laird and anyone less than 100% (looking at you Danger and Thommo)

In: Lynch, M Crouch, Cameron, Lyons and Grigg to play a full game.

The 4 Year Man on very thin ice, but we've gotta get something for our money. Otten too but we have no one to bring in for him.

Wait you need to calm down. If Lynch can't handle being dropped for form then he isn't mentally strong enough to be an AFL footballer

 

[MRB37]

I dunno, kinda feels like it doesn't even matter at this point. It's just feels like swapping deck chairs on the titanic at times. If i had a say then guys like Matt Crouch, Cameron and Grigg would be playing out the year, but that's about it.

 

[BobaFett]

Wait you need to calm down. If Lynch can't handle being dropped for form then he isn't mentally strong enough to be an AFL footballer

It wouldn't be about handling being dropped. He would see the writing on the wall, pods will still be at the AFC in 2015, and sando has shown he wants a forward line of tex, Jenkins and pods.

So he is mentally soft because he will leave to play seniors, instead of playing reserves? Makes sense. Let's keep playing pods
