the only player that should be dropped is Illes and either Davis or Medhurst should come in. It's going to be hard for the selectors with Cox, Egan or Goldsack pushing real hard for selection. There also could be a late change with Wakelin. I congratulate him on kicking his 1st goal for us and a fine snap it was lol

 

[Stakerz]

Bucks another 6 weeks?

You are joking arent you he played better than dick has in his last 4 games and got more of the ball in half a game than dick did in all his games combined he has tidy skills for the most part and has a bit of pace. He also has been just as good as toovey and cox so i see no reason for dropping him.

From the sounds of MM, theres going to be alot more then just those changes.

Id be suprised if at least 1 of these 3 dont get a game;
Goldsack, Nicholls, Cook.

Dont forget we also have to get Cox and Davis back.

why do we have to get cox and davis back? they played well but not that well before suspension

 

[eddiesmith]

Davis must come back, got in the best today for Williamstown but is required against the Dogs anyway

 

[Coin_Toss]

Out Dick, Iles, Wakelin (omitted)

In Davis, Medhurst, Goldsack

3 changes this week. Leon Davis will return, Goldsack is pushing very hard for selection and deserves an opportunity before his form taperes off and Medhurst will strengthen our goalkicking efficiency in front of the big sticks.

B: B.Johnson, S.Prestigiacomo, H.O'Brien
HB: R.Shaw, N.Maxwell, H.Shaw
C: T.Lockyer, S.Burns, D.Thomas
HF: A.Didak, T.Cloke, A.Toovey
F: C.Bryan, A.Rocca, L.Davis
R: J.Fraser, D.Swan, S.Pendlebury

Int: T.Goldsack, S.O'Bree, B.Holland, P.Medhurst

 

[Lockyer24]

Goldsack for Wakelin
Davis for Dick
Medhurst for Iles
Lonie for Toovey maybe

 

[anzacs]

Cox and Medhurst didn't play for Williamstown so I'd bring Davis and Goldsack (BOG Magoos) in for Iles and Wakes

 

[Stakerz]

Will Goldsack be needed agasint the Dogs smallish forward line? Or will he play on a Giansiacusa type?

 

[Jabso]

In: Davis, Cox, Goldsack
Out: Dick, Wakelin, Iles

Is my tip.

EMG: Iles, Cook, Wakelin

Cox can play in the backline in Iles' place and Goldsack can be a 3rd tall, CHB, FB, BP, HBF wing he is very flexible.

 

[Jimbeam]

what were the dumb things he did, please explain?

he had 14 possesions in about half a game.
used the ball well and fired out some lightning handballs from beneth the packs. Kept Betts and Bower quiet, probably the only thing he did slightly bad was when Saddington chopped off his pass to Rocca, and even that is Saddingtons opponents wrong doing. Took a good mark on the wing and laid some very important sheppards.

Stop bagging him ffs and actually watch him closely next time, im sick of some of you armchair experts bagging players out because of maybe one game you saw them play 20 months ago.
i maybe a biast Clarence supporter (thats where he is from, in case u didnt know)but i think if u watch him closely u will see that he does a lot more than he gets credit for. lay off

I watched him closely and have been for a long time, his disposal has improved but he turned it over way to many times, he cost us goals, which is a problem, he kicked it directly to opposition at least twice, also failed to lay an important tackle on his opponent, who then ran onto kick a goal, also failed to make body contact and cost us another goal, lots of bad decision making. I think he should be dropped. Dogs will kill us if we turn it over like that. He has something but needs more time in the VFL.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

In Davis
Out Dikk.

Medhurst has been injured too long now, so he will match practice in the VFL. Cox and Egan can learn the hard way what happens when you get dropped for discplinary reasons - that you are no automatic selection to return.

Wakelin to be retained but its line-ball. Cox or Goldsack may replace him.

IMO Wakelin won't be needed.

Why does everyone want to drop Dick he has a good contributor to our team. Sure needs to put a bit of weight on but there's no reason why he should be dropped. His a handy player in my eyes.

Because we have 2 superior players who can play his role to come back in

 

[Therussian]

Goldsack for Wakelin
Davis for Dick
Medhurst for Iles
Lonie for Toovey maybe

keep toovs, he's been great

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I love Dick, but I think it's time for him to go back to Willi and get his hands on the ball a bit more. I'm not for a minute underselling the quality of his disposal though.

I'd like to see Goldsack come in, we need to reward the players who are performing for Willi.

Davis is in our best 22.

IN: Davis, Goldsack
OUT: Dick, Iles

 

[Invigoration]

I love Dick

Im happy for you

 

[Stakerz]

When will level one tickets go on sale?

 

[eddiesmith]

Probably already sold out

 

[Frederlick]

Wakes will be dropped. Whos he gonna play on? a midget?

Yes he will play on a midget, seen the Bulldogs forward line? Remember Wakelin was the one taking marks in defence and delivered when sent upfield. Why do you reckon the kids aren't trusted to play lone wolf like Wakes often does? Will be kept in as an insurance policy against 19 year old brain fade until Clement returns.
