Preview Changes - Round 15 vs Saints

[MaxiBont]

Think L Kennedy did enough to persist with for another game.

Treloar needs a break. Libba in.

Not sure why Jaques keeps getting dropped, he’s one of our better ball users.

I like Buku but think we need to try a different structure. May to second ruck, Lobb stays down back with Coffield and JoD.

Buss unlucky to miss, but think Coffield deserves some more time.

In - Jaques, Libba, May
Out - Bramble, Treloar, Buku

 

[Struggle]

Lewis out for Buss -> Khamis up forward
Libba in if healthy
Anybody who chooses to run as hard as they can in for Treloar

 

[Mojorisin]

I will wait and see how the VFL boys go but Libba for Treloar is clear cut should Tom be ready.

So clear cut that it wont happen

 

[Doggies7]

I'd like to get Buss in, but I think the way the MC will turn is to throw Lobb back full time like he was in the second half and go with JOD, Lobb and then Buku / Coff. I would be playing Buss and for the rest of the year, but i'm not sure you can play Lobb, Buss and JOD? Plus Coffield who probably stays in... Is it throw Buku forward time?

Libba for Treloar is an easy one and would have happened this week if he were ready and I would probably bring Jaques back if he has a good VFL game Sat.

I also thought Luke Kennedy looked pretty good when he was around the footy and was cleaner than some of his teammates and stuck a few tackles. Hope he stays in.

In - Libba, Jaques
Out - Treloar, Lewis? (Buku fwd or play him on a medium sized fwd to allow him to intercept?)

I think Saints are only going with Sharman and Marshall as talls so Lobb and JOD to them with Coff as third tall. This gets us a bit smaller and faster down back to add more run and better defending at ground level ideally.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

I think that sums us up this season we get thrashed and we are only looking at minimum changes because the cupboard is bare. We have only 3 certaln ins injured Sam, Truck and Libba.

 

[cecil]

Out: Treloar, Lewis
In: Libba, Buss

FB: Sellwood, JOD, Budarek
HB: Bramble, Buss, Dale
C: Hynes, Libba, Croft
HF: Jones, Lobb, Sanders
FF: West, Naughton, Khamis
R: English, Bont, Richards
Int: Kennedy, Kennedy, Weightman, Freijah, Coffield

 

[Chalky White]

I’m not sure what we do. One thing for certain is Treloar needs to be told he’s no longer going to get a game. Jaques hasn’t done much wrong and honestly you would get more out of Davo or Bakes than Adz.
Buss is very average and I’m hesitant to play him.
Out: Treloar and whoever.
In: Libba, Jaques

 

[Mr. Walker]

Buss is a must in for me but Bevo has other ideas. We just can't keep going with Buku as a KPD.
I am also not seeing it with Lewis. I don't know what role he is meant to play. May in for me. Him and English can change at FF. Has the advantage of getting some marking power at FF and gets Croft out of doing the relieving ruck (and those embarrasing ruck infrigements). Libba in for Treloar. Treloar has been really good for us but an AHL player who cannot sprint. No, just No.

 

[_Cerberus_]

I'd give Buku another chance as a 3rd defender. Keep Lobb down back. Otherwise it's Buss.

Not sure why many want him forward. His tackle and pressure numbers are terrible that end.

If May plays well in the VFL, wouldn't mind him coming in to relieve English.

Otherwise just Libba in for Treloar.

 

[Dog 36]

Would Buss have been dropped if he had not got injured?

 

[bigbulldog67]

I’ve been pretty vocal to keep Lobb fwd/ruck but I think he showed last night he’s still one of our best options in defence for the taller fwds getting around AND if he has another good game tomorrow I really want to see a change in the ruck bringing in May to give our midfield first service and release Timmy to help the fwd line.

In: Buss, May, Libba
Out: Buku, Lewis, Treloar

Busslinger JOD Sellwood
Budarick Lobb Dale

Hynes Sanders Freijah
May Bont Richards

Arty English Croft
West Naughty Cody

Libba, Kennedy, Kennedy, Coffield, Bramble

Could also look at Coff out and Buku playing utility or fwd with Croft up the field too. I’d probably also swap Bramble for Jaques but it’s not going to happen

 

[BrunswickDog]

I would like to see some changes, and really find out what we have.

Out: Treloar, Bramble, Coffield and Lewis
In: May, Buss, Jacques and Libba

I know that there is some Coffield love in here, but he is not a better defender than Buku to my eye, and Buku turns the ball over by foot less than Coffield. He has absolute howlers by foot every game.

Bramble is another turnover merchant that makes poor decisions constantly with ball in hand.

Play a resting ruckman forward to actually help Naughton, or even put Lobb forward as well.

I really starting to think Coffield needs to keep a spot so would consider roling him onto a wing while Williams is out.

 

[ossie_21]

Out: Treloar, Lewis, Lennedy
In: Libba, Buss, Jacques (or McNeil)

Adz is charcoal, Lewis is crap & nothing against Lennedy, but it’s not the right time.

Libba/Adz straight swap, Buss goes back & Buku goes up forward

 

[cherrypie]

In: Libba
Out: Treloar

Matt Kennedy to take Treloar’s spot at half-forward. Libba straight in the middle.

Keep the backline as is for St Kilda, I don’t think their talls require Lobb back there. Prepare during the bye period for any structural changes like Khamis forward

 

[AlbieK]

Lewis out for Buss -> Khamis up forward
Libba in if healthy
Anybody who chooses to run as hard as they can in for Treloar

Buss should be playing. Consistently one of the best defenders in the VFL but not getting a game? He's not going to get any better in the VFL. Needs to play senior footy consistently and be able to get his feet on the ground and play against more seasoned opposition to fulfill his potential. At the moment he seems to be an full time emergency - give him a go or let him go elsewhere. Buku is very athletic but not a key position player, so from half back to half forward would be better for him.

 

[Spiritof82]

Treloar has to go, I've seen pensioners on their walkers that move quicker than him.

Out: Treloar in Libba (or even Libbas Nona, she'd be quicker and tougher than Treloar)
Out: Buku in Buss

Timid Timmy must be on his last chance, Lobb was the far better ruck for us and even Croft managed to get some hit outs so if May has another good game this weekend he should be close to replacing Timid

I don’t think he’s good enough to give some of the absolute bakes he does to his teammates though. Massively tore into JOD yesterday after his own garbage kick. Did similarly to Arty earlier in the year at VFL level.

JOD deserved the spray. Crows players were closing up our short passes all night, yet he just sat there waiting for it to land in his hands. He needed to come at the footy to make sure it couldn’t be spoiled.

Coff wasn’t going to win any awards with the pass, but JOD needed to do more to ensure it wasn’t a turn over.

I sincerely doubt Tim English is on his last chance. He’s probably in the top 3 most important players at the club. Yeah, he had a stinker and he has had plenty before. He’s also had many a great game. Everyone was singing his praises just last week.

 

[iamthehunter]

I am a Treloar supporter but after three games back I was genuinely expecting to see a better performance than that.

VFL now with a goodbye game if the opportunity arises

I really don't see how Buku is a better defender than Coffield at all.

Buku is constantly out of position and/or out muscled.
