Preview Changes R23 v Brisbane

[Candiru]

That doesn’t even make sense. Completely different players.

Which part is a problem? Yeah, they're different players. So what?

Waterman would hopefully give us another marking target, which we need.

Didn’t some other poster say they’re expecting 30mm of rain up in Brissie next Sunday? Mightn’t be the conditions to pick a tall forward line?

Two blokes who are 191cm?

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Sheed played well.

Was more referring to the “marking targets” part of your post. Yeo is 190cm but plays a far different game to Waterman who is all of 1cm taller. Torrential Queensland rain doesn’t normally lend itself to a “marking targets” game plan.

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

Vardy is panels better than Lycett, Lycett was a joke today.

I noticed Lycett pulled up a bit ginger / hobbled after a contest in Q1 and spent some time on the bench..
Wonder if he wasnt right after that.

Still made a few important tackles though.

So you could pick a team with an extra marking target without it being an overly tall forwardline.

Do Brisbane have a second ruckman?

Another 37 possie 3 goal game from masto coming up.

 

[yogibbear]

All you bunch of half wits that think the prodigal son Chris Masten should be in the 22, you should all go to spec savers, most useless spud that’s ever pulled on a jumper, Liam Bedford contributed more

Last year sure. I'd be right there wih you. This season Masten is going to poll high in the B+F. He is consistently essential.

McInerney is like 204cm or something but he basically plays KPF all game

 

[avishka5]

Cannot believe people are calling for Sheed to be dropped...

I love Venners and think he'll be a star but think Waterman needs to come back in as JK clearly won't play. Ah Chee to play Venners role.

Wouldn't mind Parto getting a game!!!

Think Sheed needs to hit a bit of consistency and most of the critics will stop. It happened to Masto this year and once you become a bit of a whipping boy, its a bit hard to shake that tag.


I love DV but i think its time for him to make way for JK or JW.

oh I'm no great Lycett advocate....if the Saints want to overpay and let us get a Band 2 compo pick I say we let them and run.

They both sucked, Gawn took them to the cleaners. Point is we can't continue to play them both, it doesn't work. Almost completely ineffectual as fwds, may clunk a very occasional mark and the rest of the time get run off by their opponents. Play one as solo ruck, Lycett at least shown he can compete at times with the best (Grundy), Vardy simply isn't a ruck man. There's a reason almost no other side plays two rucks anymore...it only worked for us because of Nic.

 

[West Coast 06]

I actually thought Vardy was doing better in the ruck than Lycett, especially in the third. Lycett was jumping way too early all game. His timing was terrible.

 

[WCE Wizard]

Liam Ryan doesn't deserve to hold his spot. Sheed is defensive liability and whilst better today there are still too many poor decisions.

Ryan has has a good few weeks yes was quiet today, Sheed is getting better, people expecting him to be as good as Gaff are kidding themselves. We do miss Gaff.

 

[WCE Wizard]

FB - Hurn, Barrass, Cole
HB - Sheppard, McGovern, Jetta
C - Masten, Redden, Cripps
HF - Rioli, Darling, Waterman
FF - LeCras, Kennedy, Ryan

R- Lycett, Shuey, Yeo

I - Duggan, Ah Chee, Venables/Sheed, Hutchings

E - Venables/Sheed, Vardy, O.Allen, Ainsworth

I think that's our best 22 come finals. Ah Chee to chop out in the ruck which kicks Vardy out and brings Kennedy in. Waterman comes in for Sheed as he plays best as our third tall - link up player.

I think it'd be too harsh to drop Sheed after today though. Venables actually did okay today from my perspective and it's obvious the MC rate him. Still him/Sheed/Hutch/AhChee need to fight for those final spots.

Also wow at the Masten hatred, surely a piss take.​

Masten has been very good the past few weeks he was good today, 27 touches ran hard all day kicked a clutch goal, not much more he could have done

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Lycett was jumping way too early all game. His timing was terrible.

THIS!!! It was one of the most infuriating things of the game. Gawn's a beat and Lycett just handed it to him on a platter with comically early leaps.

If they were marking contests they would have been free kicks for unrealistic attempts.

 

[PintSzedSlasher]

They've put all their eggs into Lycett but he hasn't lived up to the hype. Callum Sinclair was always the better ruck and Sydney knew it. Lycett will get another contract offered as that is just good list management, but I don't like it. I'm glad they haven't bowed down to Lycett's demands and today and the upcoming finals will show why he shouldn't be paid much more than a role player is.

Sinclair got 13 hit outs against Gawn last week. 13. Even Vardy got more than that. He’s good around the ground but much like Nankervis he’s an awful tap ruckman.

The Lycett hate going on is well over the top, got beaten by the best ruck in the league who’s a good 5cm taller than him. There are probably 3 ruckmen in the league who can properly compete with him tap wise and one is out with an acl injury.

 

[WCErevival]

Didnt Lycett suffer a cork in the first quarter?

 

[Obeanie1]

It is getting too late to blood first or second gamers and expect them to impact especially in finals.

If Darling and JK are out then Waterman comes in. We should have playwd M Allen much earlier.

Am not happy with Ryans output or intent shown when the heat was on.

Venables output also isnt good enough but I feel / hope that is due to that extended injury lay off.

People dropping Ah chee dont have much idea. He was swung back when Gov moved forward and kicked a goal. Did ok considering.

Moving Gov forward for large periods is a mistake. Then Hurn needs to play tall and we lose his intercept marking and rebound.

 

[Obeanie1]

Ryan has has a good few weeks yes was quiet today, Sheed is getting better, people expecting him to be as good as Gaff are kidding themselves. We do miss Gaff.

31 touches and a goal is getting a fair way to covering Gaff. Not as damaging maybe but at least Sheed is getting it.

 

[bl4ke]

Our forward line pressure has been average these past 2 weeks. The ball is being allowed to come out of our forward line far too easily which is catching our defence off gaurd and allowing for easy marks over the back on the counter attack. Our game style has to revolve around pressure, which will force the opposition to bomb it long into their attack - allowing McGovern or Barrass to intercept. LeCras has to be held accountable, I just don't see him chasing / pressuring much at all anymore. Thank god Allen is coming along nicely, will be an upgrade.

Go unchanged, give JK another week off.

Not sure where all the arrogance has gone, we almost pipped another finalist despite playing without our only key forward all game.

10 goal win coming up, rain or shine.
