Changes for Showdown

[PCORF]

We will win next week and everyone will be happy.

But I have always been angry about those losses to Melbourne and Carlton that cost us the season. Ah well, no Finals heartbreak is probably a good thing.

 

[mulz]

out -- anyone who is carrying injury, we are zero chance of winning next week, no point running injured players around

We will break the trend next week and lose by 65 points.

Esp if we let Winguard run loose.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Will wait until after tomorrow's game but I imagine the ins and outs will surround a few players.

We won't see wholesale change.

Let him.. it'll make no difference. Feel a thrashing coming.

Are you serious, Laird was okay against Harvey who got most of his touches in that last quarter and he easily beat Zaharakis tonight. Just look at Zaha's last month and Laird held him to 16 touches and had 17 himself at 100%. He was beaten at full back but that's understandable considering the height he was giving away.

I agree with Hartigan in but Rutten has to go out, Port are a fast team and he won't have a match up. Martin out as well (If cameron can come back in).

Why do you want to drop Otten for Hartigan? Sure, Hartigan's a bit faster, but what difference does it make if Hartigan's turning the ball over? Not to mention Otten was far from our worst. Drop Rutten if you really want Hartigan back in. Also, why on earth is Kerridge dropped before Brodie Martin? Still undecided on Martin? Are you forgetting all the good tagging Kerridge has done this year and turning on him after one poor performance? Lyons has again received the rough end of the stick being sub (since when will a clearance winning midfielder be a super sub?). However, I agree that Hendo, Lynch and B Crouch should be in for Lyons/Mackay (if injured), Pods (in my dreams) and Martin.

 

[FR0GGY]

Does Mackay have to miss! Being that he was subbed with concussion?

 

[BobaFett]

Does Mackay have to miss! Being that he was subbed with concussion?

we can only hope, has he ever won a hard ball?

 

[johnnypanther]

We're the slowest team I've ever seen ..... whoever said pace doesn't matter should go watch our games.

 

[FR0GGY]

I know you were away for 6 weeks but surely you could have watched the games somehow?

 

[relapse]

Out: Trigg, Chapman, Bickley, Campo, Clarke

 

[johnnypanther]

We need a crumber at the feet of our KPF in Betts

 

[BobaFett]

I don't miss a game. Mackay is a soft player, no other way to put it. He's always looking for the handball receive or the kick over the top. If you think he is tough, please don't reply

 

[BobaFett]

We're the slowest team I've ever seen ..... whoever said pace doesn't matter should go watch our games.

Our defence is iceberg slow, and most of them have no agility, making them look like they have the turning circle of a continent

Rutten
Otten
Talia
Reilly
Brown

all slow and all have no agility (besides brown)

smith and jaensch have both, so if they don't have the ball, its panic time

 

[FR0GGY]

I don't miss a game. Mackay is a soft player, no other way to put it. He's always looking for the handball receive or the kick over the top. If you think he is tough, please don't reply

Obviously you haven't been watching this year, sure past years he may been soft but he's been good this year, would be top 6 bnf so far.

 

[Magma]

Difficult to say this but Port are ruthless...came off a big game against Sydney and did exactly what they were meant to do...tear the Bulldogs a new one....even at our best Port will find a way to win as they have that mongrel about them that we don't....$1.38 at the moment and I reckon I'll put 10k on them...especially as Danger is sure to miss

maybe it's next week that we show no mercy

 

[George 13]

We need a crumber at the feet of our KPF in Betts

Charlie can do that when he gets back

 

[Elite Crow]

Can we have Jangofett back?

 

[BobaFett]

Obviously you haven't been watching this year, sure past years he may been soft but he's been good this year, would be top 6 bnf so far.

He has been good as an outside runner who gets a handball receive, no doubt. I have not seen david mackay under a pack, lay a big tackle, sit under a high ball or go back with the flight all year
