Changes for Preliminary Final

[ANT JESS]

What changes do people think will be made to the side ahead of this week's game? someone has to go to make room for Kent. My thoughts are:
IN: K KINGSLEY
OUT: D JOHNSON

 

[JUBJUB]

In : KK
Out : Charlie

DJ will play on Akermanis.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

What JJ said.

 

[trizzles]

I'll agree with JJ too. Except I'll add Henry to the list of possible omissions.

In: Kingsley
Out: Playfair (if wet), Gardiner

H is not that mobile in the wet conditions, so if it happens to rain like it did last week, I think Charlie would be the better option.

As for throwing up DJ's name up for being dropped, I suppose we have to get used to it. I think he will get Aker. He did ok on him last time.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

As for throwing up DJ's name up for being dropped, I suppose we have to get used to it.

Setting aside his record on Akermanis and just considering his form, he'd have to be the first dropped.

Obviously he will stay in to go with Akermanis, but if form was the only criteria for selection, Fumbles would be out on his ear this weekend.

I don't think H was that effective whilst out there and his form has not been sensational. That said, nor has DJ's. Playing 40 or so minutes, it is hard to get into the rhythm of a game and 3 guys - H, Beemer and DJ all fit into this category. They all had quiet nights with extremely limited game time and even when on failed to have an impact, though Beemer got Wellman with a good, fair bump which was a highlight of some of the tough passages of footy that we saw on Saturday.

 

[ANT JESS]

Year fair points, i was forgeting DJ's good track record on Aker.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

I don't think H was that effective whilst out there and his form has not been sensational.

True, but we don't have any other tall options, whereas there are guys lining up to fill a role similar to Fumbles.

Johnson should and will keep his place, but there is definitely more competition for his spot than for H's.

 

[ANT JESS]

so KK the only inclusion fof this week?????

 

[choc_a_holic]

Yeah get rid of Playfair but keep Gardiner

 

[skywalk750]

In : KK
Out : Charlie

DJ will play on Akermanis.

Replace the name Gardiner with Playfair

 

[Cattas_21]

How about shannon byrnes if its wet?

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Replace the name Gardiner with Playfair

Charlie didn't get that much of a run on the weekend, and this time we'll have Kingsley in the forward line as well.

If Charlie is retained, he'll barely get on the ground because we have an abundance of forwards, however H can always go to defence or have a run in the ruck.

Which ever of them remains, they will come off the bench, and given that, i want the player who is more versatile.

 

[Ricketts]

in - kent
out - charles

 

[JUBJUB]

How about shannon byrnes if its wet?

Cresswell said on K-ROCK that he almost played on saturday night.Had it rained all day saturday,Monty was going to play in place of H.

 

[jmain14]

geez it makes for a pretty stiff omission if charlie is the one but I guess it has to be someone hey. have to go with h ahead of charlie, his bigger frame against the lions would be more welcomed irrespect of the conditions.

 

[Jack-Packenham]

Please could we get rid of Playfair. He is no good in the ruck, useless in the backline and when he plays forward he reminds me of David Mencsh and Barry Stoneham (at the end of his career).
When you are a forward like H all I ask for is for him to make a contest, but he cant. They will just run off him all day.
Mooney will be able to relieve King in the ruck as Brisbane will probably only play two tall forwards for most of the night.
Is there a reason that Moloney and Koula spend that much time on the bench?

In : Kingsley
Out : Playfair
