Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 5 vs. WCE, OS Fri 16/04 @ 8:10pm

[Unknown Identity]

Cox dropped.
What are people's thoughts?

 

[domus]

That's because he is a rubbish footballer

Name a rubbish footballer whose done what Cox has done on the biggest stage on a number of occasions- Queen's Birthday, Preliminary Final and a Semi Final.
He may not have won many marking contests this season yet when he has featured in the top five contested marks in the comp on more than one occasion that was never seen as proof of his value.

McGovern, Barass and co. will be pleased.

 

[TradeDraft]

50/50 I don't think he does much but we don't really have a Big KPF Target without him and look Cameron won't play Either

 

[No SPIN]

I think we performed the way we were expected to against a team that’s been in a hotel for a week.

so your saying we should ignore their performances last year because everyone they were playing had been in hotels for months.
Fair enough - then they’re not as good as people think.

 

[Unknown Identity]

I think Cox's physicality has been much better.
I think he's pretty harshly judged.

Thomas and WHE have been far worse over a very long period of time. I'd hope they are both in the outs too.

You only like him because he’s American

 

[pietoon]

I think we will go with Moore v Darling, Roughy v Kennedy, Keane v Allan, and Howe to fly with Ryan and Maynard v Cripps, Q to go with Redden... I think we can shut them down if Midfield can break even.... that’s a big if, but I’ve got hope

My Hope comes from our Recent Record against the Eagles been Good and we have a 2-1 Record at there New Ground.

Seem to Match Up Well

Still Tipped us getting Flogged by 70 points

So not much hope then!

 

[Kirby]

Didn't Trey only play half a game of ressies last week? I doubt they'd make him sub if that's the case.

He's a local boy though so the trip is probably a good thing for him.

 

[jmac70]

The suspense is delicious

Cox has been crucified and the only justifiable reason for dropping him is if they have decided to take a punt on Moore up forward. Even then its a massive risk

 

[No SPIN]

No this is what I said

I think we know what you said - and I wrote, what, by extension could be concluded based on your logic.

Sometimes players are replaced for tactical reasons. Doesn’t mean the end of his career.

 

[manicpie]

Ryan out for WC, Howe will play forward, Bucks won't play Moore forward against WC

Howe will play forward

 

[legendstatus]

Cox omission is bizarre- he wasn’t the problem!

Oh well whatevs.

We can win this!

 

[Dan Moody]

****ing kidding me!
They drop one of the only blokes in the team with any aggro who will generally mark anything in his line of sight and expect us to kick enough goals to beat WCE?
Selectors are now losing the plot

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Where did I say its the end of his career? More likely Cox will be back next week when they realise what a botchup it was.

Moore playing forward is the only tactic that would make this move logical.. Even then its a risk given Moore hasnt played this position for about 5 years and presumably hasnt even trained with the forwards.

I dont like Sier going out either given we have already lost Adams. But at least the Pig is back.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Howe will play forward

God help us

 

[LuckyLee]

I have a feeling that Sier’s papers are now stamped.

I don’t think he’ll be seen again in the seniors and, after five or so years, will be given away to another club for a packet of chips. He’ll probably then get his act together and become the player we always hoped he would turn into.
