Changes for Showdown

[Hell Boy6669]

Hendo or Lynch need to come in, I'd like to see Brad Crouch come in but all three could be risky.

Out Martin, Radar, Pods.

Id like us to throw everything at this game then put the cue in the rack for the season and hopefully net a top 8 pick.

 

[Scorpus]

Out: Martin, Lyons
In: B. Crouch, Lynch

Henderson also in contention

 

[Mego Red]

Two of our best?!

Pods wasn't seen the whole game. Kicked two goals courtesy of essendon turnovers, offers nothing besides standing in the goal square. Hooker and Hurley destroyed our forwards bar a few occasions

Reilly is a waste of time, he kicks of one step, whereas henderson can run and carry and a longer kick

But lets just keep playing these older guys, good work crows

Reilly was one of our best, and Pods did good things all night, including a few contested marks.

Take your blinders off, mate. Your prejudice is sending you barmy.

Out - Lyons, Jaensch, Mackay

In - Henderson, Lynch, B Crouch, M Crouch.

Hmm - maybe time to drop Laird as well. He's had a couple of shockers, though he always competes. Martin? He's been alright.

You want to drop players a part of our future?

 

[mattymac]

Martin has to be dropped. He is utterly useless in every position, and we have significantly better players currently playing in the SANFL.

He has had his chance, and he failed. Martin is done at AFL level.

Good kid, but just has grade cricketer written all over him.

Do you not want to play Crouch, a part of our future?

 

[betterthanu]

IN: Lynch (providing he does alright tomorrow, Crouch, Hendo, Cameron
OUT: Lyons, Martin, Pods, someone (Give Danger a week off so he can actuallyhave an impact at some stage this year)


New Forward line structure. For the rest of the year pods and Jenkins are competing for the same spot.

 

[mattymac]

Dafuq? Completely shut Zaharakis out of the game until Bomber moved him forward as a marking target and Sando didn't react to the mismatch this created.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

In: B. Crouch, Lynch, Henderson
Out: Martin, Otten, Lyons

Nothing to lose so who cares. May as well take risks now.

 

[BobaFett]

not at the expense of jeansch, lyons and mackay

players that should be dropped based on performances this year;

reilly, pods, rutten (can't see a matchup next week), martin,

Brown and laird are on thin ice, but they need to play

 

[mattymac]

Danger needs a spell. There is nothing more obvious in football. This has been getting out of control for a month at least. Thankfully our genius planners got his rest in before the showdown...

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

In: B. Crouch/M. Crouch, Lynch, Henderson
Out: Martin, Lyons, Danger (rest)

Will see how the Crouch bros. will perform tomorrow. Hopefully both can come in but I'm not sure who else to drop.

[Magma]

i really want to like martin, he seems like a nice guy and everything, he tries. but he just lacks that little bit of polish that's required. i reckon he's 10% off being an afl player. one of those players stuck in limbo between being too good for the sanfl but not good enough for the afl.

i'd give dangerfield a week or two. why keep playing him? there's no gain.

out: danger, martin
in: b/m crouch, hendo.

i mean, there really arent many other changes to be made. lynch possibly back in, but our tall forwards werent the problem.

Not advocating dropping any of those 3. Mackay might go if he's injured, and Martin should be replaced with anyone, and B Crouch seems to be our best player not playing, so it's a logical decision. I'd also bring in Hendo and Lynch, assuming they go ok in the SANFL. I'd lean towards dropping Pods for Lynch, as Pods was serviceable, but not a part of our future (unfortunately won't happen). Henderson can replace Mackay if he's injured.

 

[Archie87]

My changes won't happen because a) Reilly played a decent game tonight b) Sando's in love with Pods

But, we HAVE to start looking to the future surely? What's the point of playing the same plodders who aren't up to it and getting a respectable 8-10 finish? We NEED a good draft pick this year for once! So, as long as all goes to plan in the SANFL:

Ins: Henderson, Lynch, Grigg (or M.Crouch or Atkins even, time to discover what these kids have got!!!)

Outs: Pods, Reilly, Martin

B.Crouch is a no purely because the idiot missed a week through suspension. Needs one more for conditioning. Hope they're giving him a big session on the track this weekend as punishment.

 

[1990crow]

Dafuq? Completely shut Zaharakis out of the game until Bomber moved him forward as a marking target and Sando didn't react to the mismatch this created.

Sorry have to agree, Laird has struggled in the past three weeks, needs a spell. Was awful in the air tonight and his opponent(s) had a direct influence on the play for the Bombers.
*He'll be back, just not quite there.

 

[George 13]

IN: Lynch (providing he does alright tomorrow, Crouch, Hendo, Cameron
OUT: Lyons, Martin, Pods, someone (Give Danger a week off so he can actuallyhave an impact at some stage this year)


New Forward line structure. For the rest of the year pods and Jenkins are competing for the same spot.

So if Pods wins that spot he would be second ruck? Don't think so.

 

[BobaFett]

In: B. Crouch/M. Crouch, Lynch, Henderson
Out: Martin, Lyons, Danger (rest)

Will see how the Crouch bros. will perform tomorrow. Hopefully both can come in but I'm not sure who else to drop.

Brad is suspended

 

[TheRoo32]

Out: Martin, Lyons, Pods, Mackay, Danger if inj.
In: Henderson, Lynch, Crouch, Grigg, Cameron

 

[Mike Smyth]

OUT: Martin, Pods (won't happen), Laird (kills me to say it)

IN: B Crouch, Lynch, Henderson

Port by plenty...

Does anyone if Cameron is ready? If he is, Cameron in instead of B Crouch.

 

[mattymac]

Sorry have to agree, Laird has struggled in the past three weeks, needs a spell. Was awful in the air tonight and his opponent(s) had a direct influence on the play for the Bombers.
*He'll be back, just not quite there.

When he played the midfield tagging role he kept Zaha to 8 touches to the half, and he has been in blistering form. Sando's job is to realise that matchups are not forever and when it became an aerial mismatch in their forward line the call had to be made. Lairdy was always going to lose in the air in that battle.

Obvious this wasn't one of the plan Bs he and Bicks hatched during the week...

 

[TheLeftFist8]

So who in Port's midfield never goes forward? Laird can tag them?

Carlisle?

 

[Tex200]

Port by at least 70 points so does it really matter?
