Experience and history doesn't really compare with current form. His disposal is poor putting players under pressure by handballing to them whilst they are hotter than he is. His kick in the pocket and for goal in the last quarter were terrible. If that was a younger player some would be calling for him to be dropped.Others have said it. Mayne has experience and a good history. Exactly the sort of player you want to carry into a finals campaign. Hate to see him dropped now.
With finals secured and no realistic chance of a home final, I’m hoping a well one that’s got plenty of “general soreness” on the team sheetBe interesting to see which Essendon side shows up this Friday night. Good thing for us is that they're 6 day break out of Perth after playing at OS. ouch.
Brisbane,Geelong or WC.What’s the scenarios with win/loss and finishing 4th or out of top 4? Who do we play and where 1st week of finals?
Well, this is it. After this evening's win against Adelaide, we need to beat Essendon to remain in the hunt for top 4. It's worth remembering that we actually had to beat Fremantle in Perth in the last round last year to finish top 4, which actually went right down to the wire! Obviously we still need Richmond to lose tomorrow against WCE and/or next week against Brisbane.
With no VFL this weekend it's hard to pick anyone on form that missed out on the Adelaide game. That said, you'd hope the following will be in contention, pending injury updates: Jordan DeGoey, Darcy Moore & Tyler Brown.
On form you could mount a case for T Brown but I can't see him debuting this late a fortnight out before finals, unless we can foresee a Jack Graham/Jaryd Blair type scenario on the horizon. Gut feel based on training reports (thanks Jen, Apples and others!) is that Moore will play and DeGoey will be out for another game.
Madgen wasn't too bad today but you'd have to say he's the first out in our backline.
Thus, selection as follows:
IN: Moore
OUT: Madgen
Roughead back. Moore forward.
A lot of pressure on spots this week with DeGoey and Stephenson hopefully both coming back for the first final. A good problem to have. I think Wills keeps his spot until DeGoey kicks him out. The other one under the most pressure with Stephenson coming back would have to be Josh Thomas, whom wasn't too bad today.
I'd rather test Moore before the finals, personally.Don’t think JDG is ready.
Moore ready, but is he on ice until the finals?
Last time I remember playing under these circumstances we lost to Geelong in 2011 by about 100 points...Interesting match.
Collingwood with plenty to play for. Essendon with nothing to play for.
Be serious. Wells won't play seniors next week. Maybe VFLOut: Mayne in: Wells
Out: Madgen In: Moore
As per Bucks, Moore a chance but JDG unlikelyIf JDG and Moore are ready to go they come straight in.
Otherwise pretty much no change.
