Changes for Round 21

[sante]

IN: Cotchin - Thursfield - Rance

OUT: White (injured) - Hicks - Gourdis/O'Reilly

Depends whether Graham/Cousins pull up okay. Gourdis and O'Reilly probably deserve another game, but they will be murdered by the Saints forward line and it could get real ugly.

I don't know about rance even though he has a go he's not very skilful.

Goo and Irish had good debuts. They will stay.

Thursty was very ordinary today, but Rance was very good.

Cotch for Hicks should be it.

Yeah let's just drop some kids who we have been crying out for to play all season.
Joke
Take a deep breath or go for a walk around the block and then post.

 

[THE_GUN]

Hicks is so far off this level. He has had a good taste, and after a good pre season will (hope) be our number one small cruming forward. But at the moment he is very lost

 

[Spluff]

In: Cotchin, Vickery, McGuane/Thursfield, Rance, Taylor
Out: White (inj), Graham (inj), Cousins (inj), Astbury (rest), Hicks

All the more reason to leave him in.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Forget about Vickery was soundly beaten in the magoos v Bendigo regularly by Jason Cloke , showing about as much potential as a ruckman as Robin Nahas .

In : Cotchin, Thurstfield, Taylor
Out : Connors ( slack and disposal is terrible , his shit attitude is starting to effect the rest of the playing group )
Two of White, Hicks and Nason

Agreed. Kids need a fair crack....none of this two games here, one game there Wallace crap...

Jason Cloke didn't play ruck all game...

How can you say no to Vickery and yes to Thursty when he was shit today.

 

[coke_zero]

Astbury (rest)

With only 2 games to go i would leave him in for the rest of the year.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Jason Cloke didn't play ruck all game...

I am aware of that but when e contested in the ruck he clearly beat Vickery !

 

[Croat tiger]

I am aware of that but when e contested in the ruck he clearly beat Vickery !

Cloke is also 2 stone heavier and at least 8 years older with afl experience.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Because we play best with Thursty in the side , and he didn't play today because of the amount of little pricks in Carltons forwardline , and Vickery has shown absolutely nothing and is the most overrated on our list !

 

[ize_]

Out - O'Reilly, Hicks, White
In - Cotch, Rance, Farmer

Hicks has one job and he didn't do it today. Didn't see him at the foot of a single pack.

Thursfield's form in the senior's has been good.

 

[footyfan_25]

In: Cotchin, Webberley, Taylor, Rance

Out: Cousins (soreness), White (Inj), Hicks, O'Rielly


Yes I know people will say don't drop Hicks or O'Rielly, but no point playing kids if they are totally out of their depth, especially against the Saints.

 

[Bazzar]

Thursfield's form in the senior's has been good.

Not that good. He has just been a good ordinary stopper. Moore and McGuane, even though they arnt perfect, shit on Thursty in every way, for disposals, Marks, rebound 50s, contested possessions, tackles, contested marks and even inside 50s. Thursty only betters them in 1%ers, and no doubt spoils.

Out of the three he will be the one to go (unless trades are done with Moore and McGuane)

disposals to our own team?

he is a stopper...why has that become such a bad thing in todays football?

 

[SteveoTheTiger]

IN: Taylor, Cotchin
OUT: White, Hicks

B: Moore, Gourdis, Astbury
HB: Newman, Deledio, Conners
C: Morton, Martin, Cotchin
HF: Nason, Post, King
F: Taylor, Riewoldt, O’Reilly
Foll: Graham, Tuck, Jackson
I/C: Browne, Edwards, Collins, Cousins

would like the bring Vickery and Rance in too. Vickery playing in the forward line (nowhere near a ruck contest!) and Rance playing on the wing or behind the ball.

Because if thats all you are going to do your a waste of a man on the ground.

We arnt in the 80`s anymore, the game and tactics have moved forward.

he stops his man and is able to get a handball off.

so if he doesnt run off his man he is a liability? there is always the chance of the other team getting the quick rebound with a turnover...he is the guy who should stop the best player on the other team and stay on him all the time...we have others to run and carry...there is a place for stoppers in this game...always will be.

OUTS:
- Gus Graham (Few big hits today, will be sore. Has been playing with some niggles and soreness already, I think he will have a rest this week)
- Robbie Hicks (Got three games to get a taste and feel for the game. Needs to go back to Coburg and work on his deficiencies and get set for a big pre-season)
- Matty White (Hurt early in the game, give him a rest this week. We can't afford a player to go into any games under-done)

IN'S
- Cotch (Has let the team down through his actions, thinking he will tear it up this week against the Saints)
- Vickery (Not because he deserves a game, just to give Gus a rest!)
- Rance (Has been good in the Magoo's and deserves to play out the last 2 games of the season IMO)
