Preview Changes for R10 v Hawthorn

[WCErevival]

So does Brander just chill his boots until JK misses a game?

I'm not trying to be provocative. But if this kid is a real talent, is it worth forcing him into the side, even if it means carrying an extra tall? Not this week. But maybe next.

Is that you Woosh?

 

[Candiru]

Yes. He just signed a two year extension so he seems pretty content.

There'll be an opportunity to rest JK and play Brander. Maybe as early as the Saints game.

Kennedy doesn't need to be rested. He needs to get game time under his belt.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I've got a feeling that Mallen, with his much more precarious contract situation, might be blooded before Brander just to see what he can offer.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

The only way I would drop JK is when he goes for 15 goals in 22games.That ain’t happening for at least few years specially now that he gets opposition second best defender.If brander wants in he had to go after waterman.Lets move on.liam Ryan inclusion once fit is a whole different dilemma first world problems

No. Why change a winning structure and risk a loss to accommodate a talented kid?

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

With greatest of respect to Masten, surely Simpson will make sure that he wont be opposed to Smith for long, if at all.

That would be an absolute disaster for us and a huge win for them

Simpson has used sheed in the past to tag smith

Well, that's the debate, isn't it? Simpson says he's close to selection but I can't actually see him getting a game unless one of those other talls gets injured.

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Mastos had a great year. So no like for you.

This is the second time I’ve crossed the line on BF just today. I’ll improve I promise

 

[Bender_]

Surely it'd be justified for a teenager in his first year on an AFL list to storm out of the club coz he's not getting a game in the forward line that contains the All Australian full forward of the past 3 years and the competition's current best player, right?

Time to start facing east, Jarrod.

Bender - are you on the booze again? I know you are being sarcastic, but it's not good putting that s**t around. It's like putting marbles in his head.

 

[FKASC]

We need someone to tag Smith but I have no idea who Simpson would use to tag him

Has anyone been used to tag him in the past?

 

[wce4premiership]

Hutch could try, but I'd just back our mids to win the ball for a start.

Hutchings has done some semi tags of late, tagging for a half and then letting it go. Of course that all depends on the game situation. Yeo is the only one quick enough to hunt down Smith from our mids but we can win without tagging him at all as long as we use it well and chop off his kicks as a team.

 

[Astro7]

Tom Mitchell.
Has all-time record of 64 touches in a game!..and 53 twice?
Anyway he's obviously immunised against leather-poisoning.

But he doesn't hurt you. If argue if Masto had the ball that much he would be twice as damaging.

I haven't had a c*nt all day, drinkstable.

 

[Candiru]

Looking ahead to St Kilda, it looks like Carlisle is going to get rubbed out for collecting Riewoldt in the head. Party time for JK.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Or is just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide

a good analogy...

Does mitchell at least get a few turtle tackles?

I guess Waterman might get rested also, or if he drops his form then Brander might get a shot, but it's hard to change a winning team atm

Well, that's the debate, isn't it? Simpson says he's close to selection but I can't actually see him getting a game unless one of those other talls makes way.

Yes, a tall would need to make way for Brander to play AFL. Don't shoehorn him into the ones just because he's talented and showing good form in the twos. His time will come.
