Strategy Changes for Derby

[the harry]

Our medicos are so incompetent I wouldn't be surprised if they clear McGovern to play next week, geeze those guys are useless

Suspect the plan wasn't to use him in the ruck initially. Just an unfortunate set of circumstances led to that.

 

[HolyWars]

They'll beat us as usual.
Especially now that we'll also be without LeCras (his own stupid fault ) and McGovern. See you in the finals .

We can all agree on this board....let's hope it's in the GF!

 

[ep2018]

Out: Gov, LeCras
In: Barrass, Newman/Lamb

 

[Suma Magic]

Out: McGovern, LeCras, Hutchings
In: Barrass, Sinclair, Bennell

 

[The Stid]

In - tackling coach

Totally agree, I know it was wet tonight but it's the same s**t every week, half assed attempts to tackle, only throwing out one arm and then just not sticking them, like McGovern tonight for example, should have cleaned up Breust. Apart from a few players our tackling is terrible. Good pressure but s**t tackling. Time to bring the Western Force blokes back in again.

I wish. But realistically I can now only hope for the QF or Prelim.... (....that's if we don't slip to 5th/6th....)

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

I have us slipping to 6th losing against Freo, WB, Adelaide

We won't lose to the Bulldogs. I even think we'll beat Adelaide.
But even if we do lose all 3 - I can see the dogs losing to North.

5th/6th won't happen. 3rd is as bad as it will get for WC.

We've lost to first, third, fourt, & Norf. It's not as if we are massively overachieving atm, we aren't actually a bad team.

 

[WCErevival]

We should be favourites against WB and Adelaide providing Naitanui is back.

 

[MWPP]

5th/6th won't happen. 3rd is as bad as it will get for WC.

We play Freo, Dogs (they beat us earlier in the year ) and Adelaide in Adelaide . With our increasing list of outs , it's possible that we could lose all 3. If we lose all 3, we might finish 5th/6th and slip below Sydney and the Dogs . Heck, if we lose to the saints we could finish 7th/8th .

Despite these posts , I'm a glass half full rather than empty fan though so I'm hoping to go 3-1...
It's going to be tough with our outs though so 2-2 and 4th is a little more realistic ...

 

[The Stid]

Out Gov, Lecca, Ginna / Hutch or Scooter.

In Hill / Lamb, Barrass, Sinclair (Hopefully), The umpire who put on the block for the Hawks against Shep

 

[MWPP]

We should be favourites against WB and Adelaide providing Naitanui is back.

We'll be favourites against the dogs.
We are a 6-8 goal better side at home and though they beat us at the start of the year , it was close.
We will be slight underdogs against Adelaide (like we were against Richmond ) but I'm hoping we can maintain our 100% AO record (I'm flying over for that game!)

 

[ImperialPurple]

I know that WC losing will benefit Hawthorn....but ******* demolish the Purple ****s!

You do know what usually happens when someone calls us that...

 

[Chris_6678]

How long for Gov?

Heh....good point.

 

[wraglesweb]

Gee the Freo supporters must of loved watching us get beaten up tonight injuries Suspensions the lot

 

[WCErevival]

How long for Gov?

We should leave him out for a few weeks regardless of how bad it is to be safe. We are running extremely low on KPP. Think Lamb is all we have left.

 

[TwentyNine]

Hope you guys don't mind me popping in here. Feel free to respond with an upset Brad Scott gif

If Naitanui and Sinclair are right to return this week, what happens with Lycett? Played very well tonight I thought.

 

[Avalor]

And

It's just the way our match committee works. We played the kids (remember Jackson Nelson) at the start of the season when we thought it was a rebuild year, and now that we are in the top 4 it's back to McGinnity and Butler all the way.

He should come back in against freo ... Nelson was one of the best for EP today, with 2 classy goals too. Must have had an onball role.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

We should of played Jamie Bennell always good in the wet, doesn't lose his feet.

Bring in Bennell, Lamb, Sinclair and Nelson

Need some better footskills in the back half and take some risks again, when moving the ball from defence.

Weather didn't help tonight.

Out

Butler, McGinnity, Le Cras, Selwood/Rosa

Barrass if McGovern doesn't come up

 

[ep2018]

I have us slipping to 6th losing against Freo, WB, Adelaide

Thankfully as long as we beat Saints in the last round, we cannot fall lower than 6th (thanks Adelaide!).

After reading about Hotline's game, i would not be adverse to promoting him onto the main list and plaing him against freo. Surely better than Ginners or Selwood. Better than Hutchings and Rosa too likely. We are running thin at the business end of the season, and need some class coming in.
