Changes for round 2

[jefffff34]

In - Burns, C.Cloke, (O'Brien if Clement unfit)
Out - T.Cloke, Richards, (Clement if not fit)

Needed an extra on-baller last night, Burns can obviously fill that role, with the option of going forward, whilst Travis Cloke should not have to do 22 matches on the trot this year. Plus he was poor.

Also Richards was unimpressive, Cam deserves a go, Cam at least can hold down a forward spot if needed, instead of having Richards resting at full forward and not getting a kick down there.

The other one is pretty obvious too I feel with HOB on standby for Clement.

I'd like to see Davies in there, not sure who to take out for him though.

 

[guess_who]

As I said in the other thread, I despise C.Cloke but he should be in ahead of Richards, especially after last night performance. Burns must come in, no doubt T.Cloke probably the favorite to make way for him.

However, don't be surprised if T.Cloke stays in. At this stage I have some time for Travis Cloke, however hard to see him stay in especially if Cam Cloke comes in.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Jason Cloke gets the axe, will be a joke but can see it happen.

 

[Coin_Toss]

In - Burns, Cameron Cloke, Davies, O'Brien
Out - Richards, Travis Cloke, Davis, Clement (Hamstring)

 

[sloth6]

In: Davies, O'Brien, Burns, C. Cloke

Out: Davis, T. Cloke, Richards, Clement (injured)

We need someone with pace and can get the footy, Ben Davies can provide us with both. Burns gives the side experience and a bit of **** in the guts and can kick goals. O'Brien can take Jimmy's spot if out injured.

Cam Cloke is a better bet than Richards. At least Cloke can take a mark!

 

[Cassius_Clay]

So we just leave Chris Egan in do we?

The guy plays like a girl. A couple of times he found himself loose in the backline and shat himself when the ball went to him.

 

[bren_gc]

*Note: amended due to cassius bringing egan to my attention, I forgot about his poor performance!

 

[understudy]

Burns is too slow so not convinced on him, we need pace and run.

there are plenty of players to take out not enough quality to replace them though. I would take out benny johnson or Egan for Davies. I wouldnt mind seeing Iaccobucci on ball either, he can kick!

Cam cloke should definetly get a run ahead of richards, he can ruck better then him and as you said he can play forward as well!

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Jesus, Richards has played 1 game in over a year. He aint gonna be a great players straight away. Twice as good as Cam Cloke anyway who has been given plenty of oppurtunities.

No disrespect, but Richards needs time at Williamstown. He is struggling with the pace of the game at the moment.

Cam Cloke is the better option because he can slot in beautifully, ruck or forward. Fraser battled his guts out last night with no genuine support.

Big men do take time you know. Cam Cloke is still learning the trade.

 

[dids4]

IN: S.Burns, B.Caracella, B.Davies, H.O'Brien (if jim is inj.)
OUT: J.Cloke, C.Egan, G.Richards, J.Clement (if inj.)

 

[Madd Matt]

I have to say, it's good to see the more things change, the more they stay the same.
One swallow does not mean it's winter (or summer, or something. I can't remember the saying, but you know what I mean!)

Richards & Rocca both need matches under their belt to get them back to the pace of AFL, and should stay.
Fraser was brilliant considering the footy he's missed, same goes for Bucks.
All we need to improve on is FOOT SKILLS, and DECISION MAKING.
You can't instantly bring in players that will have these things, however changes will provide other players with the opportunity to show us if they HAVE those skills.

Not sure who should be in and out, but I'm sure these players will be considered:
Burns, Carrots, C2, Harry, Davies. Possibly some of the kids, but unlikely.

And geez, Jason to be dropped? Give me a break. Egan yes, Lockyer (due to his abilities to not hit a target all night) should but won't because of his posession count, Davis possibly.
How about we drop Tarrant, Rocca, Richards since none performed, and have a forward line of... um... Didak by himself?

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Good to see people are waking up to the fact that Egan isn't so good.

 

[Ron]

How long until R.Shaw will return?

Who knows next week I hope.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

IN: S.Burns, H.O'Brien, C.Cloke, B.Davies
OUT: J.Clement (hamstring), T.Cloke, C.Egan, J.Cloke

- Those people who say Ryan Lonie doesn't tackle, think again. Last night, he laid 5 tackles. That is one thing, the other thing is, when there is a pack of players on top of each other and Lonie is standing around, it is for a reason. There is no point having Lonie go in for a tackle because the opposition slipped out of a tackle of another player because they were better in the contest. Lonie stands there because it is simple. He is a receiver, and that isn't a negetive word. Lonie isn't known for being tough as nails who goes in for the hardball, and never will be. His asset is his run, normally in space, and his booming and accurate left boot. With him on the floor, and the ball gets out, on the wing/half forward, he is the option to give it to all the time because he is so good when it comes to that. If he is on the ground, how can he do that.

 

[guess_who]

All of you saying there will be four changes, I will bet my left testicle that there will be minimal change in the team, I wouldn't be surprised if there are no changes unless they are forced changed. I would think that the only inclusion will be Burns, and perhaps C.Cloke. I don't believe in droping players after one game so I think the likes of Richards etc. will be given a chance to perform.

I'd say the likely changes are Burns in for Clement if he is injured, and J.Cloke to actually have a set task and player to stop.

C.Cloke in for Richards, is the only other change.

The likes of Davies, Blake will stay in the magoos because other players haven't done enough wrong just yet to get the axe.

 

[hotpie]

In C Cloke Burns Davies

Out Egan Richards T Cloke


O'Brien or Yakka in for Clement depending upon size matchuups - probably Yakka because we went into last weeks game too tall.

 

[DidaksLeftFoot]

Why hasn't anybody mentioned Fanning? About as good/bad as Richards, probably a better ruckman than Cam Cloke... Everitt didn't look close to 100%, give him a go I say.

 

[RustyHawk]

Has there been any word on how serious (if at all)the injury to Tarrant's hand or finger/s?

Was there last night and he (Tarrant) definately left the game with 2min to go holding his hand after a marking contest against 2 crows.

After he came out of the pack and the crows cleared the ball, Tarrant stopped, looked and took hold of his hand and then started jogging towards the bench. The runner meet about half way and he came off with Rocca coming on for about the last minute or so.

 

[jefffff34]

He is good, he's a kid FFS.

 

[Stakerz]

If we don't beat Hawthorn this week... i'll cry

Tarrant is fine.

Tarrant is fine.

How positive?
