Changes for round 5 vs Blues

[Bender_]

I know Redden hasn't been dominant, but shit everyone in the side can't get 30 touches. We need role players. Sure this becomes more of an issue when we're dropping games and we need to find someone to come in and pick up the slack, but whilst we have Gaff, Shuey, Yeo and Sheed in great form it's really not an issue.

Secondly comparing his stats to when he was basically the #2 midfielder in a basket-case Brisbane midfield isn't creating that great an argument.

 

[Eagleboy68]

Out: LeCras (susp), Redden (inj), Venables (inj)
In: Karpany, Hutchings, Partington

Gone like for like if we are forced to make the changes, with a bit of youth coming in. LeCras for Karps. Redden for Hutch. I can't see Anus being named on a HFF as Partington can play DV's role more effectively. If we decide not to hard tag P. Cripps, we may replace Redden with Anus.

From what I saw lecras didn't hit him in the head. He hit it when he fell on the ground.

Why would lecras be suspended?

 

[WCErevival]

The issue I have with us dropping Redden is who do we bring in to play his role. Hutch is more of the same. Partington isn't strong or defensive enough. Ah Chee could be a possibility but will probably need a Wafl game or 2.

Did anyone else notice Mastens great stats in a team that won by 80 points. Seems when we win like that is the only time he gets good stats he is a f****** princess

 

[squashface]

Even Masten being one of the best on ground isn’t enough to give him a break for at least one week?

Not on this board

Correct

Hurts to say he played well

Just listed it if forced.

Rough conduct could be the charge. If it's judged intentional and medium impact to the body, that's 2 weeks down to 1 with a plea. If judged careless with the same conditions, it's a fine. However, I wouldn't rule out high impact due to the resulting concussion, which could make it 2 --> 1, or 3 --> 2 if intentional.

It won't be intentional.

It'll be careless, high contact, medium impact which is a week

Exactly right.
Redden doesn’t go near a centre bounce, a stoppage north of half back in the whole first half of games and he is criticised for not picking up 25 possessions.
Is playing a totally defensive role befor being injected into the fray late in games.
Hawthorn used players in similar roles in their premiership days.

You obviously didn’t watch the previous three games with various winning and loosing margins.
There is no correlation between the winning margin and his consistent contribution this season.
You need to give credit where credit is due rather that trying to twist the facts to suit your totally irrational hate stance.

Yep, I had a look at his heatmap on the AFL app and he covered most of his distance on the HBF, pushing up the ground to get a few possessions occasionally. He is not playing as an on-baller, so comparing him to Brisbane is pointless.

Maybe the only time we win like that is when he gets great stats. Don't let it upset you so much Petal.

 

[Brer Bear]

why would le cras be suspended? I know the gold campaigners had a little tantrum about it but come on.

 

[RookiePick]

I agree, I just don't get how he actually got concussed. If you look at the slow mo, his head definitely didn't hit the ground

Not sure without the reverse angle but it is possible there was a head clash as ainsworths head snapped toward lecca.

Textbook bump but it is hard to know what match review makes of it all. Still a bloody chook lotto after all these years.

Didn't think there was and downgrading anymore.

Lecras gave him a hip and shoulder. Nothing illegal about that. If his head hit the ground after that it's not lecras reckless act its his own.

Yeah if he gets suspended for a bump the games gone to the fairies.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Correct

Does it really though?

People don't like Masten because he hasn't been delivering - surely when he delivers it's time to say well done mate, let's have some more of that?

 

[ghost82]

Maybe the only time we win like that is when he gets great stats. Don't let it upset you so much Petal.

I was laughing matey don't let it rub you the wrong way protect the princess

This has been going on his entire career its not new. He has only played one good game all year and as usual it happens when we are flogging a team.

Hey if we win like that every week I won't complain I just find it funny

 

[random260]

Since our focus is on good kicking --> Hurn, Jetta, Rioli, Ryan, Duggan, Masten

I think karpany serves a place. He will add that extra outlet kicking
