Preview Changes next week

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I'm getting the feeling there, once again, will be no 'message'.

 

[Donkey Chop]

As long as there's hover boards I'll be happy

 

[The Dingrel]

Scotty McMahon, Liam Anthony and Sam Wright in.

I'm calling for a don't like button.

Surely not? I have supported Scott all along but if that is the case, he's lost me.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Message is that we would be ruthless but we can't afford to be given injuries. Whatever.

On availability, though - given Sunday came after Saturday night, wouldn't it have been a good idea to rest some fringe senior players from the VFL game so they could play this week?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Honest question though... Changes DO need to be made for those underperforming. But is against Hawthorn really the time to do it?

I mean, some of the 2s guys form has been decent, but a lot of its from guys who have never played an AFL game, and we haven't exactly had the best history of debutants having cracking first games, even LMac was so so in his first and he's the great white (silver) hope.

If we bring in 2 or even 3 of these guys isn't it just asking for a thumping? And if we did get thumped then people would STILL be unhappy with the coach/selection panel/players and it would just go round in circles again for another week.

A lot of the consideration on here at the moment seems governed more by who needs out rather than who should come in. For mine, players like Adams and Bastinac probably retain their spots for at least this week for mostly this reason, but I don't see the harm in taking out, say, McKenzie, and replacing him with a debutant. The argument for change is, I suppose, that even as green as they are, they'd offer more than those who look like needing to be removed from the side. Probably makes more sense to try a few things against the Saints than tomorrow night - but then, complacency seems to be a problem at the moment, and I'd hate to think we'd take the Saints lightly, selecting an experimental team and thinking victory is assured so long as we turn up to the ground. Certainly, it's important that people remember we're 7th, still poised to take a finals berth and potentially a home final, not 15th and already in "next season" mode.

 

[Only Forwards]

Just weak

 

[Higgins2Waite]

bit selfish of Mitchell to be honest. Should have taken the extra week

 

[archereleven]

As expected... Weak as piss

 

[Juryduty]

Great changes I love it. Let's hope that is the end of McKenzie for a long long time

Unbelievable. I cant believe who the selection committee have picked to come in this week, the same old guys who havent got it done all year.

Our club is an absolute joke.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Very underwhelming after all the strong talk earlier in the week.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Jesus you lot carry on. Mullett and McKenzie pay the price for poor performance and you'd expect Basti and or Adams would have been dropped too if our injury list wasn't currently as long as the Bible.

 

[thumping]

Wright and Anthony???? So bloody predictable :-(
