Changes for round 3

[Nardz]

Yeah i know what you mean. But i still think because of his reputation, he will do one bad kick and everyone jumps down his throat.

On the weekend OB hit plenty of targets and yes. Yes he missed a couple (or as you said put them subject to an easy spoil) but so did a few others.

I just think he gets a raw deal that's all. IMO easily should be in our best 18 every week if he continues way he is going.

i would like to think if we are to have any midfield depth whatsoever, he should be it.

if he's in our best midfield then we have something to be concerned about.

[understudy]

From a winning team you cant make too many changes. To be honest with you none of them deserve to de dropped, however Harry with have to make way for Wakes to get the right match ups against the Kangas.

Out: Harry O'Brien
In: Shane Wakelin

BTW Looking forward to this game.

Agree with that. Its going to be hard to justify selecting Burns, unless you unfairly drop Lockyer or Davis, or unless Licuria is injured. I'd run Burns at Willy and make just the one change, Wakes in for Harry.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

O'Brien, Lockyer, H Shaw possible outs

Dropping Heath Shaw would be downright irresponsible.

The kid comes into the side a day after garnering around 25 possessions for Williamstown the day before and plays a pretty good game, where he shows toughness, pace and skill, and we should drop him?

He's one of the brightest young stars we have, yet nobody seems to care about him...

 

[Murray]

Ben Davies a chance at all, played a great game against them last year

Gee, I like this kid, a on baller if ever I saw one

 

[dids4]

totally agree vinnie, heater is a little champ. so, so underrated. LOVE his attack on the footy, and although it can be a tad erratic, his kicking can be pure silk at times.

in a perfect world (one without MM as coach) he would kick tarkyn out of the team.

 

[Nesian]

Has Licca injured himself ?? not having a great start is he...hmm

doesnt anywone feel dejavu from last year, Bad 1st half against carlton then awesome 2nd half similar to sundays game then we play the kangaroos again and hope to continue the form, except this time lets hope the script doesnt change
For me - OUT: Licca(hammy), Obrien
IN: Wakelin, Davies/Burns
I think the rest of the team should stay the same as we need to get some consistency going especially early in the season, Davis should stay in, he kicks goals, has some speed and endurance now, his passing into the 50 isnt bad, bit low at times but really are spearing kicks which is better then some of the huge bombing or lollipops other players do

i would like to think if we are to have any midfield depth whatsoever, he should be it.

if he's in our best midfield then we have something to be concerned about.

If O'Bree continues his improved disposal he should be i the best 22. I didn't think Lonie would be in our best side let alone one of our best at this stage. If they are improving you can not omit them.

 

[rychenroller]

Out: Licca (week off) O'Brien (needs time) Lockyer (********e)

In: Burns (takes Liccas place, slow but good disposal and courage to burn) Wakelin (for matchups) Davies (should be in permanently)

Unlucky: Rowe (couple more weeks)

Happy to persevere with Richards, his ruckwork is improving, but Davis must surely impress, or Rowe can have his spot.
