Unofficial Preview Changes Rd 3 v Sydney (team added to OP, Blair and Aish out, Varcoe and Greenwood in)

[Kirby]

There's a whole bunch of blokes that should be dropped but it won't happen because I doubt there are the replacements that are fit.

So, the one certainty should be out Blair and in Varcoe.

I'm not sure there will be many more changes unless say Greenwood comes in for Crisp or Daicos/Crocker come in for one of our other hacks.

[Dead Eye Didak]

Out : Blair, Fasolo ( To learn defensive side of his game), Smith
In : Elliott, Varcoe, Scharenberg

 

[hellfire]

I know Sydney have excellent tall forwards for Reid has been terrible down back and we have absolutely no structure or targets up forward. Reid must play forward to try something different.

OUT: Blair, Maynard
IN: Varcoe, Dunn

If Greenwood is ready he comes in for Crisp too, he has regressed so much.

 

[Unknown Identity]

If we are going to concede goals anyway, we may as well make our Forward line as strong as possible, we get it down there enough, we need to score more.

My changes and subsequent line up for Round 3 vs Sydney.

OUT: Blair Crisp Schade Ramsay
IN: Daicos Varcoe Dunn Keefe

We need experience down back, Ramsay looks like a deer in the headlights and needs to return to the VFL and gain some confidence and get a feel for the ball, fumbles too much and doesn't give first options and gets caught holding the ball.

B: Maynard - Dunn - Goldsack
HB: Varcoe - Keefe - Sidebottom
C: Phillips - Pendlebury - Broomhead
HF: HoskinElliott - Moore - Howe
F: Daicos - Reid - Mayne
R: Grundy - Treloar - Adams

INT: Aish - White - Fasolo - Smith

We need a forward line restructure, Reid will get the number 1 defender, his leading patterns are actually quite good, great hands and a quality set shot.

Howe can take as many hanger's as he likes in defence but the fact is we don't score from that chain of play, it actually slows play down, i'd much rather a spoil and crumbers at the front for continuous play. Let him take grabs down forward and convert it into something on the scoreboard.

Varcoe's pressure, speed and experience is a must in defence.

Sidebottom is not damaging enough kicking into forward 50, use his calmness and experience in defence and hit up targets with short kicking.

Keefe is a solid defender, before he did his knee against Adelaide he was doing quite well in our back 6 and is a good ball user on both feet.

Dunn right now would be a better option than Schade.

Hopefully Moore can be free'd up to work between CHB and CHF and run his defender ragged, his set shots are a liability but his field kicking is very good.

That's what i would roll with, needs a shake up.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Ramsay more likely to get dropped than Maynard but they are the future and both should be persisted with.

 

[Stifler's mom]

Blair....OUT out out out out.
Ffs. Out. Effing OUT already!

This, this this!

 

[jackcass]

Not sure that Crocker is ready.

Agree, 2nd VFL hit-out yesterday and still looks a little rusty. Fas needs to watch himself though or Crocker might push him out the following week.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

In Borthwick
Out Pendlebury

 

[jackcass]

Not sure we have many other options for the wing at the moment. Sure links up a hell of a lot better than the disappearing, silky skilled outside midfielder in Aish.

Oxley the only real option who played VFL yesterday.

 

[jackcass]

Scharenberg was good in the VFL?

Yes he was, but I'd still prefer to take it slowly on his return to seniors.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Agree, 2nd VFL hit-out yesterday and still looks a little rusty. Fas needs to watch himself though or Crocker might push him out the following week.

Lol why? So Crocker can come in and kick 1 goal. Fas had a bad game.. but is precisely what we need up front.. xfactor.. not dullfactor

 

[jackcass]

If Elliot can't get his body right in the next month it's time to pull the pin on him and move him on. We can't drag these injured players on for years and years without a game. It's been the way of the past but no more.

Yeah, lets do that! Get rid of our best forward because we have no patience.

 

[PepperFace]

Don't know why you're getting impatient? Elliot simply rolled his ankle at training and will only miss 7-8 weeks.

Just like Wells got a 'kick in the calf' about 10 weeks ago?

 

[jackcass]

Lol why? So Crocker can come in and kick 1 goal. Fas had a bad game.. but is precisely what we need up front.. xfactor.. not dullfactor

1 goal from Crocker is better than the shoit Fas dished up last night. Going at 33% goal kicking accuracy at the moment and needs a rocket.

 

[frizzle]

Not sure that Crocker is ready.

Agree & not sure Scharenberg is either.

Blair should have been dropped after round 1 & wasn't. My bet is they wont drop him now either.
Daicos needed game time in the VFL yesterday but was denied it. He is the obvious Blair replacement if Crocker isn't ready.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

1 goal from Crocker is better than the shoit Fas dished up last night. Going at 33% goal kicking accuracy at the moment and needs a rocket.

Ok bring Crocker in for him.. let's reinforce our goer mentality up front. Mayne Blair Crocker who else.. lets just shove another defender in there perhaps Smith or Ramsay.. lets turn our forward line into our defensive line.

For crying out loud.. Crocker for Fasolo? Pleeeease

 

[BringouttheGimp]

1 goal from Crocker is better than the shoit Fas dished up last night. Going at 33% goal kicking accuracy at the moment and needs a rocket.

Lol Crocker for Fasolo.. let's just see if we can hit that magical 50-60 point avg per game.

 

[doodles98]

out: Fasolo, Blair, Schade
In: Dunn, Daicos, Crocker

 

[doodles98]

Lol Crocker for Fasolo.. let's just see if we can hit that magical 50-60 point avg per game.

Mate.. Fasolo is taking the piss. He needs to decide if he wants to contribute by tackling and chasing or play VFL and be traded at years end.

 

[Vicky Park]

I don't think we will ever win another game again.

Yeah, we will, possibly as soon as next week, but then we'll lose two in a row again, win one, show glimpses, show promise, play like crap, beat a contender, lose to a bottom feeder...and on it goes, same as last year, and the year before, and the year before that...

Forever to be known as the Buckley groundhog years

 

[BringouttheGimp]

It's funny.

Hawthorn and Geelong started their onslaught from 2008.. 10 yrs later.. still well up there.

We started ours in 2010.. and have missed out on finals the last 4 yrs.

If that's not Buckley's signature all over it.. then wtf is??

 

[BringouttheGimp]

When is Scharenberg gonna play.. are we gonna piss fart around with him in the vfl for half a season?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Mate.. Fasolo is taking the piss. He needs to decide if he wants to contribute by tackling and chasing or play VFL and be traded at years end.

Seriously though.. replace him with Crocker.. then I'll throw a party if we kick a score above 60.
