Changes: Round 19 vs Collingwood

[Mainy66]

Hayden Young is too good to play for Peel. Should be the sub.

He played for Peel earlier this season.

 

[south beach]

I feel like an extra runner at the G will be important.

Sharp for Banfield (Wags to Half back)
Young for Duds (young sub)
Pearce (if fit) for Omac

Sharp can keep running right out the door

 

[mattis117]

He played for Peel earlier this season.

And he was two levels above.

 

[rgauci]

Some of these comments lol. No chance JOM OR Johnson are even close to being dropped.

The most vulnerable by a long way are Dudley, McDonald, and Banfield.

JL said Pearce was not injured, the spike in running last week and six day break contributed to him missing. Apparently a good chance to return.

Therefore, I'd like to see Pearce and Young in and McDonald and Banfield out. Walker is a maybe.

We're close to our best possible team, albeit Young and Pearce will not be at their best obviously.

Pearce spends a lot of time organizing the defense and sometimes not sticking to his primary role, which is to shut down the opposition key forward. If he comes back, I’d have a chat to him about playing shut down first before the role of intercepter.

Macdonald didn’t do anything fancy, but was effective spoiling the contest over and over again.

Yeah and JL made the point that the forward line was much more organised as a collective because of Switta being there. Having your generals out on the ground makes a huge difference.

We’ve got Luke Ryan, Clark and Cox who seem to organize things just fine in his absence.

 

[mike91]

Sharp and Erasmus were dropped for performances that weren't as bad as Johnson last night.

I don't expect him to be dropped but it's a possibility and warranted.

Johnson cult refuses to ever acknowledge his poor performances. He can not do a single thing wrong in their eyes.

 

[Confucius]

Our backilne was too big and slow against Hawthorn until Wagner was moved back and Collingwood's forward line is super mobile. I hope they keep Banfield out of the backline and I like OMac but he's nowhere near as quick as Pearce.


If Bobby Hill is back in (after missing for personal reasons) I think we might need to shuffle some magnets.

Mihocek -> OMac or Pearce
Mcstay -> Cox
Membrey -> Ryan
Schultz -> Clark
Hoskin Elliot -> Chappy
Hill & Elliot -> 2 of Worner / Walker / Wagner

If they play the above forward line, we'll need real speed. Personally, I think Walker is crucial. Banfield on Elliot or Hill is a nightmare. Wagner starts in the midfield and if we need more speed back there, sub off OMac and shuffle Wags back. Sub Banfield on to the wing.


IN: Walker, and hopefully Pearce for OMac
Sub: Banfield or Young
Out: Duds

McDonald is that quiet, effective, no nonsense, High IQ player. He was just everywhere covering his man. Did his role. Didn’t have to do anything fancy at all.
Chol 0.1 last night. Dear 3.0. Gunston 1.1.

Cox and McDonald dined out

Actually makes a lot of sense. Walker is needed now and for the rest of the season. Gave up 4 crumbing goals v the small fleet of Hawhtorn.
Pearce won’t be rushed back however. McDonald can do the job just fine.

Johnson cult refuses to ever acknowledge his poor performances. He can not do a single thing wrong in their eyes.

Alternatively the hate cult refuses to acknowledge his good performances. If you guys can't recognise any positives in what he brought last night being 2nd in tackles and clearances then maybe, just maybe the bias goes both ways...

 

[BigRang]

Out - Sitting on my couch in the Southwest watching the footy and drinking exports out of my fridge.
In - Watching the footy in a box at the G drinking someone else’s beers woohoo!

 

[King Huskii]

Play the extra forward and hunt them.
Out: Banfield
In: Young to sub, Dudley starts or vice versa.

Pearce??

This

Young to sub

Banfield was just ok yesterday

Maybe, except for the bleeding obvious that we has trash?

But hey, maybe if we gift him another 50 games he'll hit a target and won't get caught holding the ball in such moronic ways?

Man I hope he gets coaches votes again

You fail to acknowledge any good that he does, just hating. Is Johnson a star of the team? No, certainly not, he's around 15 to 20 in the team. He makes some howler and does not go into the contest hard enough.

But he can play AFL. He is playing a role and continuously improving. He's a slower burn than we would like. But you're absolutely kidding yourself if you think there is a player currently outside our 23 that can perform his role better than him right now.

But sure, it's a cult and he can do no wrong. Get real Mike.

 

[malpaso]

Frampton. He always solid.

He's injured atm.

I'll just leave this here

 

[Sean_09]

Out: Banfield, Pearce, Dudley
In: Walker, McDonald, Young

Banfield's is only be fringe at best, young players have gone past and injuries are returning. Walker returns as our lockdown small defender. Pearce in after a rest and Young as the sub, since he can play anyway and is an impact player.

How goodis it when Switta hits the scoreboard? Unreal

 

[Sully90]

Maybe, except for the bleeding obvious that we has trash?

But hey, maybe if we gift him another 50 games he'll hit a target and won't get caught holding the ball in such moronic ways?

He had less clangers than brayshaw and serong and less frees against than brayshaw. Maybe we should drop all 3 of them?

 

[Freo Big Fella]

I thought Clark and Worner were good-to-ok on Watson and Ginnivan, but Bobby (if he's back) and Elliott are a step above - I think we definitely need Walker back in for a proper lockdown job.

I'm probably in the Youngy-to-sub camp, but defer to the doctors. Same with Pearce potenially back for OMac (who I thought was solid.)

No major changes required otherwise IMO.

 

[Freoforever86]

Walker should come in for Banfield.

I wouldn't bring Young back yet, give him a week at Peel.

Better off coming straight in. At Peel he’s just gonna get a hard tag & people physical with him. If he’s right he’s right, match fitness at AFL

 

[estibador]

Walker at the MCG against the Pies in a crucial game lining up on Ellliot i’m guessing, what could go wrong.

Haha, yeah I'm torn... I've wanted Walker back for the last two weeks, but given historical scars this may not be the ideal game for him to try re-acclimate to AFL intensity.
