Changea Rnd 4 v Melbourne (MCG)

In: 22 sets of balls would be a good start. Also Dunn, Campbell, Collard, Duffield

Out: Browne, Headland, Parker, Gilmore

I really feel for Browney, his body just cant handle it.

Campbell only had about 4 touches today apparently. jamie Graham pantsed him.

I think the fitness of the guys led to the poor skill level and poor body language. Having Andrew Browne off didn't help but on to next week.....

Outs:
Browne (hamstring)
Headland (mental problems)
Gilmore (zero confidence leads to indecisiveness leads to turnover)
Walker (been given a fair go to prove his worth this year, time to go)
Parker (always slows up play, letting the opposition get players back)
JLo (if hes not right he is a liability)
CC (too understanding. A little too much carrot, not enough stick);)

Ins:
Dunn
Webster
Cambell
Collard
Ibbotson
Warnock

Melbourne are without Neitz and Robbo and Brock McLean so we should stitch them up. No worries.
 
in: BLACK, WARNOCK, DUNN, DRUM, IBBO

gone never to return: WALKER, COOK, GILMORE

also out to return when fully fit: BROWNE, LONGMUIR
 
In- Black, Dunn, Warnie
Out- Browne, Walker, Longmuir

Headland can play one more week as the crumbing forward inside 50, if he struggles then he makes way for Johnson the week after.

Parker was okay tonight IMO. Shocking in the first 2 rounds though.

Cook? He wasn't bad. I don't remember him making any errors, and he sure as hell didn't pike it or go into a contest half arsed. Dropping Cook once again sends the message to our army of soft outside running gutless wonders that it's OK to give 70%.

Longmuir was terrible though, he's clearly carrying a serious problem. He was completely useless as soon as the ball hit the ground, which you can get away with if he's taking marks, but he wasn't doing that either. Much better off playing Campbell or Murphy (even if he is badly out of form).
 
I haven't seen much of Collard.
Is he quick, if so is he worth a run on a flank, especially if Des gets a spell??

I can't think of any indigenous players that aren't quick. Even Derek Kickett was pretty fast over 10 metres and he was a big fella.

Cookie was definately in our best half dozen IMO.

Surely Campbell has to get a run, his preseason was great and Murphy and JLo are out of form.
 
I would like to see this.

In: Black Webster Warnock (because we need a second Ruckman in a major way) Campbell Collard

Out Longmuir Gilmore Browne Des (suspended) Walker.

Webster gives us offensive pressure, Black enough said, Warnock and Campbell can spell Sandi and Campbell has got the mongrel in him.
Collard for that touch of spark.
 
Gilmore did more than Bell and a few others tonight, so I'd rather drop Bell before Gilmore if form is the indicator on which to choose.

Out: Browne, Headland
In: Black.... toin coss for the other C class players

Well, that's sealed your reputation...
 
So you're telling me you think Bell had a better game than Gilmore tonight or?

I'm saying that Bell is the guts of the team, who rarely plays 2 bad games.
We have no experienced smalls, while Gilmore gives the ball back more often than not.
So lets drop Bell...sounds good.:rolleyes:

Um, what is J Carr and Hasleby? Rookies? You're a clown, go back to supporting the eagles or whatever it is your main hobby is.

I never said we should drop Bell either, just that if FORM was the indicator, I would drop Bell BEFORE gilmore. If gilmore isn't being dropped there is nothing to discuss.

I like cook


i may have erred there, however i do think we should play the guys who will improve and be good for us in the future.
