[***end of Mod edit***]



A nice break now until Easter Sunday. I suspect Wells will need another game in the VFL based upon reports, so working on that basis, just the one change;

OUT: Mayne (omitted)
IN: Elliott

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Its a pity theres no real option outside of Moore, he could use a spell. Been totally irrelevant.

Agree its Mayne -> Elliott

 

[Stoods]

Elliott definitely in if he gets through tomorrow all good.

Dunn potentially as well to send Reid forward.

 

[nahnah]

In: Elliott
out: Mayne

Kinda want to drop Smith but there is no one to replace him, Oh sinkers how i miss you now

 

[jjsmitty8]

Elliott definitely in if he gets through tomorrow all good.

Dunn potentially as well to send Reid forward.

I'm on that bandwagon with you. Moore needs the support.

 

[Xenthor]

Hey guys, played good tonight. Most of your guys were at least decent but I would be getting Moore out. Hasn't done heaps this year and just doesn't have the body yet to play full forward. Bring in Dunn

 

[TradeDraft]

Will give them after the VFL Tommorow but Mayne has to be Dropped

 

[Saintly Viewed]

There is two aspects here, 1: realistically who is actually available; 2: then who is selected

1:

• Elliot gets through the VFL practice match, he's just in. So let's agree he is available.
• Wells seems VFL bound to give him a run, so he's likely not available

2:

• Elliot must come in with Mayne the main candidate
• Moore is in trouble in my view; I could see Cox for Moore

Now where does Smith fit in? Listening to the press conference I get the feeling he stays in the side.
That means someone like Scharenberg still builds via VFL.
Goldsack? Can't see him falling just yet.

So all in all:

In: Elliot, Cox
Out: Mayne, Moore

 

[robertg22]

Elliott or Crocker for Mayne. That's it for me

 

[Jafo]

I'm on that bandwagon with you. Moore needs the support.

Unfortunately not of that quality but White, Fas and a smaller extent WHE should provide support for Moore. Problem is they don't. Moore looks spent already. Big burden for him to bear (expectations- more external than internal). Would hate him to be another Fraser given potential vs burn out in the end.

 

[Ketchup]

Out: Mayne, Crisp
In: Elliott, Wells

Some players don't play VFL. Wells is that player.

although moore has not hit the score board like some hoped he would he
plays his role well. take the best defender and makes him honest. leave him in.
you have happy to gift maynard and other games, why not moore.
it will take time but he will come good.

I'm of the opinion that Moore needs to start providing support for Fasolo, White and Greenwood. I'd be tempted to drop Moore, bring in Dunn and play Reid forward.

Fair points?
We are thin in big forwards.

My big thing with Darcy is to give him a run at VFL where you'd think he'd dominate, he'd get touch and confidence.

He is THE future that's for sure.

 

[Prochard123]

Need to reward players for a win like this.

No changes, even if Elliot is fit.







btw first game without blair and we win ahahahaha

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

If Elliott plays well tomorrow in the reserves, he definitely replaces Mayne.

I don't understand why we're playing our "home" match at Etihad.

Now that the AFL own the stadium it makes absolutely no sense. What's worse is it's against a team that likes to play there.

 

[robertg22]

Out: Mayne, Crisp
In: Elliott, Wells

Some players don't play VFL. Wells is that player.

Crisp was quite good tonight I thought. Can't see him being dropped. Would be ahead of Smith and Phillips in the pecking order.

 

[Avatar]

Cox in for Moore, please no.

 

[12kilos]

Possible outs Mayne for sure. Possibly Crisp and Smith.
In Best performers in the VFL would like to consider Aish Shaz Elliot

 

[sr36]

I'm surprised how many people want to drop Crisp. I get that he and Goldsack have terrible hands and probably fumble more than any other senior regulars in the league, but they make up for it with their physical and mental attributes.

 

[Jafo]

I'm not an advocate here or there but has his supporters (Kirby) gone dry now?

 

[THATSGOLD]

Out Moore Mayne

In Cox Elliott

 

[Jafo]

For the Blair lovers on here from our club website- Jarryd Blair will lead a forward line also consisting of Mason Cox and Ben Crocker, while a midfield of James Aish, Callum Brown and Alex Woodward will no doubt trouble the Roosters. Enjoy!

D.Moore: 28 Disposals, 0 Frees for, 5 frees against, 3 tackles and 1 goal.

You'd say he had an okay game last night, except those stats are his combined total stats for the whole season...

Would Keeffe do worse?
