In: Darcy, Frederick, Worner.
Out: Sturt, Banfield, NOD.
Keep Erasmus as sub.

I would think Nod, Banfield and Sturt will be dropped for Darcy, Erasmus and Frederick.
Harsh on Sturt and I wouldnt drop him but JL will

I think you probably have the correct mix there, i'd be pretty happy with those changes except for the fact that with no Sturt or Banfield and Ras playing is points towards heavy forward minutes for Fyfe which is just a waste of time.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Honestly, watching Fyfe live against Richmond his lack of pace at the moment is an issue. If he doesnt win a clearance then we get ****ed and I assume opposition will make it a point to target more and more until he fully gets over that foot issue

Switta and Shooter on more shaky ground than Sturt to hold there spots

Great highlight reel of Sebit's Six -make sure you watch to the end.

In the mix, R15: Who's under the pump, pushing for selection?

One of his kicks travels c60m from 48m.
He's putting on some bulk.
His kicking approach lacks some fluency.
He didn't get a lot of competition but good to see him clunking overhead marks.

Thanks mate, I have been trying to find his highlights from the weekend!

Side note, does anyone else feel he is shorter then the 199cm listed. He feels more a 192cm height than a 200cm height, and normally the skinnier guys appear taller than they are.

Somebody else must be picking up his man like the old days. Not sure Serong or Brayshaw would like that much. Probably need a sacrifice mid when Fyfe is in there.

The meme continues!

Sturt has one decent game which includes absolutely shanking two gettable shots and hes suddenly on less shaky ground then two of our best forwards because of a little down patch. The Banfield v Sturt discussion currently holds merit, but not those two!

I believe the AFL clarified that a side can choose a final twenty two from their 26 named.

So name Tabs this afternoon...

I remember seeing Fyfe calling for O'Driscoll to cover his man on the weekend. Meanwhile O'Driscoll's opponent was then loose and got busy and all because Fyfe didn't win the contest back at the stoppage - which would be easier if Darcy was there.

So it is a tipping point issue.

JL confirming today that Kuek is still some way off AFL footy.

He's not saying Sturt is better than Schultz/Switta. It's a no brainer to select Sturt over Banfield, and then you look at Schultz/Switta's position separately. And the question should be asked if we should drop one for an extra midfielder (or Freddy if he is fit), so we aren't playing 4 x small forwards. No good team plays so many. Usually 2, and sometimes 3.

Having said that, I expect JL to do something like drop NOD and Sturt and replace them with Colyer and Freddy.

Leaves us a bit light on for wingers with Aish and NOD out.

Sturt doesn't play tall. He is in competition with guys like Shultz. Just like Banfield is.

Its not a no brainer to pick Sturt over Banfield. Banfield has been selected by JL far more then Sturt has, and for good reason.

So basically it doesn't work. Our other guys can't handle the every week and big body scenario but Fyfe causes an overlap problem unless we have perfect conditions to win the ball.

Sturt wasn't ready though. If tou reward recent performance then Sturt plays over Banfield but it doesn't usually work that way.

Yeah, wouldn't want to just throw a kid in there and give him some freedom to have a crack.

Best model seems to be to keep stifling players.

With Darcy back, who comes out for Kuek? Treacy or amiss?

Best shot would have been to give him a run while Darcy was out.

He is skinny as.

3 goals in two games vs Switta, Schulz, Banfield’s combined total of 0. They deserve to be under the pump.

Sturt should not be competing with guys like Schultz. People talk in smalls and talls as if there is no in between. There should be a spot for at least one medium forward type for team balance. Preferably more (such as Collingwood who play 3-5 players that rotate through as medium sized forwards). Unfortunately our cupboard is bare with the medium forwards so all we have is Sturt v Banfield v Emmett. After the game last week it should indeed be a no brainer to favour Sturt over Banfield, but I can see both being dropped because JL doesn't seem to care about the medium forward position and loves to stack the side with smalls.

Are we doing any clearance sale?

On SM-A205YN using BigFooty.com mobile app

The only time we've been a good clearance side is when Jackson's in the middle playing as a mid. The rest of the time we've been woeful. Here's hoping Luke starts in the middle as a mid against Essendon.

 

[King Tenz]

Is Worner actually a shot this week? I feel like we would've heard something from the club by now

 

[Tonga Bob]

Looks like we're on FTA this Saturday night. We love playing in front of a national audience.

 

[arsesmart]

We absolutely need to get that pressure rating right back up there. It's key to our form.
