Preview Changes/Prematch discussion vs *essendon

[scooby1279]

Out Garner -Hine

In Grima - Mckenzie

Brad has lost the plot. Bring a kid in for his first game, play him as sub and drop him a week later..... Nothing makes sense anymore. The olayers we picked up from other clubs aren't going to well either.

Like the fact the B Mac is back, but Garner being dropped..? Oh wow thats cruel.

agree 100%. garner only given 10mins when the game is at its peak without being able to work into the match then gets dropped, should have been given a full game.
happy bmac is back though.

would have loved greenwood in for wright/macmillan also

 

[Quivorir]

**** me. What a waste of time for Garner.

 

[scottywiper]

A tad underwhelming.

 

[JB Our Saviour]

Can Nathan Grima rotate in the midfield ?

I'm sure Essendon don't have 4 key forwards so why play Delaney, Hansen, Thompson & Grima in the same side ?

Umm team balance ????

Over Brad, I really am. Words fail me on my feelings for this idiot

While the changes are confusing, selections are made by the match committee.

Brad doesn't hand pick the team...

 

[NM1990]

We are too tall in defence. There'll be a late change and firrito will come in for delaney. It's a lose lose really.

 

[King Corey]

OUT: L.Delaney, Garner
IN: Grima, Sierakowski

What will happen.

Not what I want to happen.

Was near enough the pin. So ****ing predictable.

Delaney to the bench, Grima straight in with no match practice.

Garner straight out.

Memo to *essendon - go thru Grima's man. Too easy.

hansen plays loose so its really only 3 tall defenders plus the loose man, we use 7 in defence and one less up forward.

when cam delaney was in we had this setup also so its not new

However he will have a say...... if he wanted anyone in the team they would be.

Time for the weekly:

 

[Hatchy1992]

Garner has every right to feel harshly done by. I like Brad, I think he's a great coach but this decision has left me scratching my head.

 

[Psicosis]

Well, that is a disgrace.

However if we beat a broken Essendon outfit, cue the "2014 IS OUR YEAR" riots on this board from posters who literally have no clue.

 

[Bigeasy]

Interesting selections.

 

[muttley45]

taylor garner very stiff, 10 min of last Q very hard to impose yourself, even for an experienced player, much less a debutant, if he has a good game for roosters this week should get a recall for a full game

 

[tiltraise]

We look a little tall in defense.

A late change wouldnt surprise perhaps Keys for Greenwood or Garner.

 

[Benno_900]

Hine omission is long overdue. His skills are so limited and is getting smashed regularly by his direct opponents.

Very harsh on Garner. Hope the kid isn't shattered from this.

I don't mind it so much.

Thompson and Hansen are no dinosaurs and provide plenty of run out of defence.

Selection lotto.....

"Posters who literally have no clue". Why? Because they don't agree with your doom and gloom outlook?

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Jack could still be a late withdrawal, which means Levi or Garner will come in.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Would prefer Grima over Hine whose disposal is too costly. There is a trade off in height for sure but Grima is agile enough to play small.

Would also prefer McKenzie over Garner but they can't be the subs all the time.

All in all I like the changes but Garner is certainly stiff.
