Opinion Changes Round 17 vs Carlton

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: Yeo, Trew (to sub)
In: Foley, Kennedy

Backs: Barrass, Bazzo, Rotham, Hurn, Duggan, Jones, Foley
Mids: Kelly, Shuey, Redden, West, Gaff, Hough (wings)
Rucks: Naitanui, Williams
Forwards: Kennedy, Darling, Waterman, Ryan, Cripps, Rioli, Petruccelle
Sub: Trew
Emergency: Edwards, SPS, Clark

Good debut from Trew but someone has to go out for Kennedy. Make him the sub.

Considered Edwards for Yeo but we’ve looked better with the smaller lineup. Foley gets the nod over Witherden.

 

[omgfridge]

I'd say SPS definitely played himself into a starting position today.

Jones might be out too also knowing our luck with the MRP.

What’d he do?

 

[omgfridge]

What’d he do?

Jumped and elected to bump and got Pickett in the head. Pickett played the rest of the game so have that in our favour.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Out: Yeo, Williams, Duggan
In: Edwards, Kennedy, SPS

Trew would typically be an out for me but you don’t debut a guy and then not give him three or four weeks.

Need some tall timber against Carlton, Bazzo battled hard today but surely more suited to a third man role, and Edwards/Rotham can chop out NN.

Duggan for SPS won’t happen but I’d enjoy it.

 

[FKASC]

One of Duggan, Rotham and Gaff needs a spell and I’d like it to not just be the easy option in Rotham.

 

[Jed Clampet]

Out: Yeo, Williams, West, Duggan but I think Simmo will keep him in.
In: Edwards, SPS, Kennedy, Culley

 

[bUCKET__]

Nelson in for Duggan

 

[Bacchus]

We need a relief ruckman and it isn’t going to be Edwards or Rotham. Perhaps Strnadica or Dixon, Carlton rest de Koning with Silvagni so Dixon could easily compete against him, probably best him.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Did SPS come back on?

Missed most of the last but thought he did his ankle?

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: SPS, Edwards, Kennedy
Out: Yeo, Rotham, Duggan
Sub: Clark

 

[Grahame]

Out: Yeo, Williams, West, Duggan but I think Simmo will keep him in.
In: Edwards, SPS, Kennedy, Culley

Knights said before the match he'd played very little football in the weeks before coming to Perth. But added he's a likely debutant before year's end. (Plus bye in WAFL this weekend.) I'd like to see him get a couple at least when he's ready.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Worst case scenario, if Jones gets suspended to compound the Yeo injury...we'll need drive from the back half badly.

May need some creative selections and team compositions this week.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Jumped and elected to bump and got Pickett in the head. Pickett played the rest of the game so have that in our favour.

Just saw a replay, he left his feet to smother a handball not to bump.

Shouldn’t be any more than a fine at absolute most.

Did SPS come back on?

Missed most of the last but thought he did his ankle?

Don’t think he even went off in the end.

 

[InTheWings]

I wouldn't say he elected to bump per se: he jumped to smother the ball and his momentum caught the kicker high after the ball went past.

 

[Grahame]

What is going on with Clark? Have the MC already put a line through him? Would really like to see him get another few games BUT in the guts not on the wing.
Depending on whose stats you go by, he's as big or bigger than Rotham ... and he's a midfielder. And yet Gaff is apparently more of an inside bull. (???)

We are now in the position where we (finally) have replacement players. The MC now has to make some hard calls if they are thinking long term and not just ... credits in the bank ... blah blah blah.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Kennedy for Yeo the only change. Duggan saved by Yeo's injury.

SPS into the 22 and onto a half back flank.

Everyone is down on Williams, but I have faith that he'll produce more than Jamieson.

Would also consider playing Shuey on a flank in bursts if we need drive, with West spending more time on ball.

 

[Avalor]

Ryan was very disappointing - half-assed efforts with one arm, little desperation, and it looks like if it all becomes too hard for him, he drops his bundle and gives up.

Agree, would much prefer Clark to Gaff. The latter gives very little nowadays.

 

[KERRPOW]

Would be worth dropping that hack williams and throw in rotham as a second ruck.

Williams is a waste of a spot.

 

[GrumpyGoron]

Wouldn't mind seeing Jamo and Nic next weekend.

 

[ArdentEagle]

In - SPS, Clark, Kennedy, CJ
Out - Duggan, Gaff, Williams, Yeo
Sub - Foley

 

[Goroyals22]

Nelson in for Duggan

Replacing one ball butcherer with another probably isn’t the best idea

 

[wce4premiership]

Duggan should be dropped as a wake up call. He'll be back no doubt but some poor tackles to go with the poor kicks.

In saying that though I didn't get to see the entire game so unsure who he was on and what their impact was.

 

[wce4premiership]

Wouldn't mind seeing Jamo and Nic next weekend.

It does irritate me that Williams is often unable to make a high ball 50/50 for the team, just seems 3m off the drop of the ball a lot.

Still young so no need to panic, but wouldn't be against seeing them rotate partners with NN to see what works best.
