depending on how the shackleton plays for willy this week
but maybe:

out: obree(i think he needs game time in the two's to get some fitness in the legs)

in: Shackleton

And if richards is right he comes in for mckee


what do u think
 
I went and saw Williamstown play today.

Shackleton was ordinary and he also twisted his ankle. Won't be selected in the ones this week.

Better players for teh Seagulls were Mullins, Kinnear, R Shaw and McGough. Maxwell was also reasonable.

Lokan was Shokan.

This week Richards in for McKee will be the only change.

O'Bree will be out this week, McKee was okay for the Pies, but I think he might fall aswell, if Richards is fit and ready to play.

In: Mullins, Richards
Out: O'Bree, McKee
 
The shack won't be in. McGough was ordianary in the magoos today but shouldn't have been dropped in the first place.
Depending on how Tarrant pulls up, BK might be a chance.
 
Does Richards have OP? If so he should be rested. I'd still drop McKee though. He just isn't the answer to anything. The only reason I'd play McKee is to try and convince someone he has trade value. To do that he needs to play lose at half back, do a bit of rucking and go forward every mow and again to take a few grabs.

You cant drop McKee if Richards is unfit. The only replacement talls at Willy are Crow (too skinny, not ready in 2004, but played well yesterday) and Kinnear (you don't want that do you?). The other option is Walker who is not playing very well.
 
Assuming everyone's fit...

IN: Richards, Shackleton/Mullins
OUT: McKee, O'Bree


Apparantley Jules way have given his hammy a tweak, so he could be rested.

It'd be good to give Bo some game time and get him into it, but I can't see that happening.

Maxwell as a KP option? Basically the issue I have with playing McKee is that we know for certain he isn't good enough so we have noting to prove. I'd rather ruck Josh, use Ant as a ruck option if he can move well enough or play Walker if he can’t. I don't think Walker is ready myself but at least he might one day be ready. Relief ruck off the bench with a stint at CHB and CHF wouldn't be a bad move. I just can't see the point using a senior spot on McKee when our year is as good as over. I know we are still an outside chance to play finals but more than likely all we are doing is pushing ourselves further up in the draft. We may well get as much player development out of the season as we can since the difference between a not yet ready Walker and a never going to be good enough McKee is not actually going to be that great.
 
McKee should NOT be playing. It does nothing for our younger players developing. If we had a younger plaeyr in atleast we knew we'd have comething to look forwrad to. Whereas with Mckee we know there is no future.

If we beat Geelong and Brisbane, game on. We need our best side in, every week until the finals are totally out of reach.

Hopefully this debate is irrelvant anyway and Richards comes back in to the side.
 
Yeah if Guy is ready then he better be played, no recoivery in willy bull****.
In-Richards
Out-McKee

I think Obree needs some more thinking time in the magoos and i think we should bring in Benny Kinnear for a run to add more height to our forward line. Even Walker, but BK is better than Tex. Maxwell is ready for the big time but finding a vacant sopot is the only issue.

So what im hoping for is
IN-Richards, BK/Maxwell
OUT-McKee, OBree

Why not up forward? I thought he was great there on Queen's Birthday.

I thought he was Good up There to but teh issue still remains who could be Dropped.

I would also rather see Mullins get another go, this Time with 3/4 of teh game on the ground. Played well like that against Freo, 16 Touches.

Agreed, but IMO we have far to many players on our list that just aren't good enough. Players that star in the VFL and do nothing in the AFL.
Most of them are teenagers.
 
whats happened to o'bree this season, the game has seemed to leave him behind or something

i remember him as a #10 draft pick for the lions and he showed glimpses up there, came to the pies lokked real good in his first couple of seasons, had a good year last year and this year has failed to bring his game to the table really

he had a bit of an injury for 4 or so weeks there but besides that thats 10 games of not much

im a fan of the guy, i just hope he can pull his finger out and produce some performances like that Port Adelaide game which was just great, he needs to do more like that

The Schack won't be in this week, he better not be. Mullins will be in before him

Agreed, But im ****ed about that. No Disrespect to Mullins coz i like The Kid almost as Much as The Shack but man, thats bull**** how good he has played and he has not got a game. We should reward players for good form.. Not discourage Them.

In: Richards

Out: McKee

That is what i think will happen.

I think MM won't drop O'Bree because he is in favour.. Always has Been.

I like O'Bree, But he needs some confidence.. Give him a Run in the Magoo's. Bring in Mullins.. Showed good Poise with 16 touches in his first match.

Also Bring Back McGough next Week.
