Opinion Changes for Qualifying Final v Hawthorn

[Biggie]

Have at it.

Nelson & Masten OUT

Schofield & McGinnity IN

EDIT: I don't necessarily want McGinnity in, just think this is what will happen. Unless Selwood comes in of course.....

 

[eaglespremiers]

Would prefer Newman than McGinnity.

 

[wadistance]

I think I'd rather Selwood TBH. We need a hard man. Although Paddy is also hard. and kicked a decent goal last week

 

[Biggie]

Would prefer Newman than McGinnity.

Can't see that happening v the Hawks I'm afraid.

 

[WCErevival]

Schofield in for Nelson
Selwood/McGinnity in for Masten.

Selwood/McGinnity sub.

 

[WCE1698]

Out - Masten and Nelson
In - Schoey and McGinnity

McGinnity over Selwood because:
- He was unlucky to get dropped
- has that finals toughness will put his body on the line
- better fitness, can run out a game

 

[Shmiddy15]

I think Nelson for Schoey is a certainty.

and then from there Selwood and McGinnity to battle it out for the vest.

 

[Crimson King]

Yeh expecting Scooter to come in along with Schoey.

 

[Suma Magic]

Changes are clear (Schoey for Nelson and Masto to be replaced by someone playing the sub role).

Sub battle tomorrow between McGinnity, Newman and Selwood.

 

[Bender_]

Out - Masten, Nelson

In - Schofield, Selwood

 

[eaglespremiers]

How massive is this game against Hawthorn.
We win and we might have to only play Sydney or a Elimination Finalist at home for a chance in the Grand Final.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Bring in Lucas..

 

[Johnno22]

I think Nelson for Schoey is a certainty.

and then from there Selwood and McGinnity to battle it out for the vest.

Performances for East Perth tomorrow will determine who replaces Masten.

The Candidates: McGinnity, Lucas, Bennell, Newman, Selwood.

Big opportunity for someone.

 

[SpaceClef]

Bring in Lucas..

Seconded

 

[squashface]

Wouldn't mind Newman as the sub. He did pretty well in that role in the couple of games he played this year. Can't see it happening though

 

[SpaceClef]

I didn't watch the game. How bad is Masten?

 

[Crimson King]

I didn't watch the game. How bad is Masten?

They were saying it's a low grade hammy so 2-3 weeks you would think but lets wait for Dr. Larkins' diagnosis just to be safe.

 

[Biggie]

I didn't watch the game. How bad is Masten?

Looks a likely 2-3 weeker, possibly 4 given his biggest strength is the run.

Has Masten ever had a hammy strain before guys? Can't recall if he has or not?

 

[WCE_phil]

Out: Nelson (bloody unlucky), Masto (injured)
In: Schofield (Underrated and really needed), Newman (assuming he plays well tomorrow and kicks a couple)

P.S Selwood can get ****ed (unless he's bought a house in vic as an investment he's gone)

 

[Eaglemaniac]

I'd bring in Schofield and push Nelson into a more midfield role.

 

[Boohemian]

Seconded

Thirded! (The red line tells me this isn't a word).

 

[Hardhat11]

Why all the hate for Nelson ....thought he played ok

For mine Marsten out, scooter in ...sorry I haven't got faith in ginners

The other option is bring in Newman and move Lecras to the midfield

 

[Hardhat11]

I'd bring in Schofield and push Nelson into a more midfield role.

I didn't think Nelson played badly ....some of his centring was a concern because he's not a flat hard kick

 

[Hardhat11]

I didn't watch the game. How bad is Masten?

It's hard to really know l

He didn't pull up that quickly ....he won't play next week though ....prelim maybe

 

[HoneyBadger35]

In: Schofield, McGinnity
Out: Nelson, Masten

Agree with OP's changes, however I actually do want McGinnity in. Horrendous set shot aside, he played a solid game against Hawthorn and threw his body around a lot. As we saw with the Richmond Hawthorn game, if you physically intimidate them they try and stand up, but if you keep going they back down and shit themselves. Schoolyard bully stuff, and McGinnity won't back down on them.

DO NOT WANT if he is the sub though, you need to get in their heads early or bring in a more skilful player.
