In: Holland Davey Valenti Morton
Out: Robbo Buckley Bell Dunn

Just a shot at it as i have no clue whats gonna happen

what we all think?

i just want shane to play on the big monday and make a name for himself
 
Out: Bell, Frawley, Robbo,
In: Whelan, Rivers, Davey

Get Bell out of the lineup ASAP, the amount of times he turned it over today....words can't even describe how frustrating it was. Need some zip around the packs (Davey) and some experience in that backline (Wheels, Riv). Then we will be set for the annual Queens Birthday massacre.:thumbsu:
 
In: Wheels, Rivers, Davey, Maric / Valenti
Out: Bell (shocking year to date), Wheatley (turnover city, moved the ball out of defence better without him), Robbo (injured), Yze (probably is a bit unfair but build for the future)

If Rocca is playing bring in Holland for someone...

Bell has to stay if only to help cope with the insane amount of small forwards who will potentially tear us a new arseh*le next week.

IN: Dutchy, JR, Whelan, Davey, Valenti
OUT: Robbo, Frawley, Buckley, Bartram (*pains me*) Wheatley
 
are people forgetting Cale Morton who only missed y'day with the flu. Sad to say but he is our most skilled player, by foot at least. We need him back.

In: Morton, Holland (the robot), Valenti, Maric, Rivers, Davey
Out:Frawley, Robbo, Dunn, Bartram, Bell, Mclean

Dont care how many mide-sized forwards the pies have. Bell is a useless witches hat who turns the ball over every chance he gets. Grinds my gears when i think we got him with the pick we received for scott thompson. a gun mid. Nice one crain cameron. Richmond can have him.
Mclean broke his nose so is most likely to miss one.
 
out: melbourne
In: melbournes big footy thread people... us guys... at least we give a shit about the jumper
 
In - Rivers, Whelan, Holland, Davey, Morton, Valenti,

Out - Dunn, Bell, Robbo, Bartram, Miller, Jones

Miller is like a thumb in the hole in the dam, he's not the long term solution

Bell needs to go back to the seconds for a while. We need more out of Jones - he's got more to give but we are not getting it yet. Try Rivers, Garland and Wheatley up forward at various stages and see how we go.
 
Miller won't be dropped, we have too little forward options as it is without dropping our only experienced KP forward, regardless of how badly he plays. Bailey as good called the stonemason on Newton playing this week because of Robbo being out in the post-game press conference yesterday.

IN: Newton, Rivers, Whelan, Davey, Maric
OUT: Frawley, Bell, Wheatley, Robbo, Yze

Frawley has been alright but could use a run in the 2's until Garland or Warnock slip up, we can't fit those 3 plus rivers in our side. I think everyone has Bell out, it tolls for you son. Despite our troubles, I can't find a spot for Wheatley. Yze kicked 3 goals, but 2 were well into rubbish time in the last qrt, not enough.

Give Maric a baptism on our biggest stage of the year, if he doesn't do anything put him back in the box for the rest of the year or until late at least, one poor senior game wont hurt him and we only stand to gain from it, barring injury.
 
Firstly, we are screwed.

If Rivers is available Frawley makes way, Holland in for Robbo, if McLean is injured bring in Morton (just ahead of Valenti), put Davey back in for Dunn and get Whelan in at the expense of Buckley.

In: Rivers, Holland, Morton, Davey, Whelan
Out: Frawley, Robbo, McLean, Dunn, Buckley

HB: Bell Rivers Wheatley
C: Green Jones Bruce

Yep I like it...I like it alot :thumbsu:
 
IN: rivers, whelan, davey, morton

OUT: robbo, wheatley, buckley, dunn


fb: whelan warnock frawley
hb: bell rivers silvia
c: davey bruce green
hf: morton miller bate
ff: wona garland yze
mf: white mclean jones
int: pj, mcdonald, moloney, bartram

- yze stays for experience in a young forward line.
- give garland a run up forward to make way for rivers- can switch if not
working out.
- valenti in for mclean if injured
- if rocca plays, warnock would be perfect.
- rivers to cloke, maybe see how chip goes as the third man up against
rocca and cloke (i think rivers does this very well but its about time he
played as our key defender on the opposition's best forward)
- silvia to be the drive off half back rather than half forward- strong
enough to run and break the lines and skillful enough by foot to set up a
viable attack
 
Danger game for us, we have been fantastic the last 2 week's but you can't keep that up all season.

Plus the bloody Queen's Birthday curse, always ruins a good long weekend for us maggies.

Good luck, hope it's a good contest!:thumbsu:
 
Just reading that article "Demons In Tatters" on the Herald Sun website where Bailey names Newton, Miller, Bate, P.Johnson and Sylvia as the "nucleus" just gives me an idea as to what I think our forward line could be.

Half Forwards: Matthew Bate Brad Miller Brad Green
Full Forwards: Aaron Davey Michael Newton Austin Wonnaeamirri

Yze, Holland and Paul Johnson can switch in and out of that forward line but I think that's more of a forward line for the future whereas Holland and Yze will not be around much longer and Paul Johnson will be our main ruckman.

Looking at it on paper, it's not pretty solid looking forward line. However we all know that just because they are all capable of making an impact doesn't mean they will but if they get themselves right they could be kicking us winning scores in the future.

Thoughts?

*EDIT* Forgot about Addam Maric, throw him in anywhere in there apparently he doesn't miss anyway.

i agree Dez, the forward line need some Juice...

We have no-one else now, do we? I haven't been his biggest fan this year but with Robbo gone we really need him to play at full forward and kick some goals.

I am probably a bit harsh but Homer and NASA comes to mind...

Scientist: [resigned] Well, Homer, I guess you're the winner by default.
Homer: Default? Woo hoo! The two sweetest words in the English
language: de-fault! De-fault! De-fault!

Incorrect. We got Bell with the pick from Collingwood for Shane Woewodin.

We got Moloney with the pick we got for Scott Thompson.
