Preview Changes Round 5 vs GWS

[Smotie]

It was probably going to happen. Nelson is a young kid and probably was a planned management strategy.
Mcginnity.......ffs. He will play Griffen into form.
Sinclair in for lycett. Its probably warranted based on form but ffs he has a different set of standards for the midfield group than he does for the rest of the team.
Also bennell in is good.

 

[SpaceClef]

Surely not 4 in a row? McGinnity has to be sub

If McGinnity racks up an average of 6 touches playing 4 quarters, how many does he rack up in 1?

 

[SpaceClef]

Paddy and his pictures strike back

 

[WereFlyingHigh4]

Happy with Sinkers over Lycett. Scotty looked unwilling to compete last week. If Duggo is the sub that is very very poor selecting, it has to be Pat or Bennell.

 

[MIKE85]

I love how they call McGinnity a "utility" haven't heard that for about 20 years. Used to be an old saying for a player who didn't really play any position well enough, but tried hard, I guess that's McG to a T.

 

[SpaceClef]

At least Shuey seems to be ok?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Wtf is wrong with our MC & coach that they can't seem to see what a waste of space mcginnity is??? Now we get to watch Griffin run around and collect 30 possessions while mcspuddity does his best impression of "the signal" from Team America....

Ffs!!!!!

Could be Hill, although he was good last week. If McGinnity is playing as a negative forward, I reckon he'll get the nod over Hill.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Sinclair over Lycett makes a lot of sense - Scott simply was coasting

I think Lycett will be the better player - but he got too comfortable

McGinnity back and named in the backline... With Rosa out I assume he will be our 4th choice tagger - which i suppose is his position in the squad

He's the exact opposite of a utility, as a utility can play any role, where as he can't play any role well, except left right out...

 

[LordHaart]

Without yet having read anyone else's thoughts on the matter, I can say that I can live with McGinnity in if he ends up being sub and frees up Duggan to play a full game.

Hell, Sinclair can be our sub if it means Duggan plays 4 quarters.

Chris Waterman was a damn fine utility

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Rosa is a big, big loss. Having his best start to the season in years.

 

[Cuzdup]

Given GWS' youth it'd be a perfect chance to let Duggo tear them apart ☺

 

[Biggie]

Ahh Rosa man, not happy with that.

Lycett will hopefully learn from this and improve.

Patrick McGinnity.....

 

[LordHaart]

Rosa is a big, big loss. Having his best start to the season in years.

Wonder how long he'll be out for... hopefully it's just precautionary and just this week.

 

[Obeanie1]

So nothing, you're just guessing that he needs a rest?

West Coast Eagles v GWS Giants
DS , 5:40pm AWST Saturday, May 2, 2015

In

• Patrick McGinnity,
• Jamie Bennell,
• Callum Sinclair

Out

• Scott Lycett (Omitted),
• Matt Rosa (Hamstring),
• Jackson Nelson (rested)

Well looks like I guessed right!!!!!!!!

Pretty much this - has the pace but not sure he's ever proven really effective at this role in the past. Still, I suppose it's either him or Wellingham to tag with what we have left.

 

[TOA.]

I thought Lycett was good last week, pretty stiff for mine.

 

[94_Eagles]

EDIT: aaaaaaaaand Paddy Mac is back boys

 

[The Falcon Strike]

We need Wellingham to play back to allow Yeo to play guts.

We have now a dozen injuries and Pat is still fringe? I think that his spot.

Fringe best 35....

I am probably not as outraged as others if that is the role he plays

Pace? He was outrun multiple times by old man Rob Murphy!

His selection is ridiculous. He was dropped for very poor form, didn't play a game last week, and is straight back in. He is useless as a defender, a midfielder and a forward, and his defensive / tagging work this year has not been good.

Hang on. They are the experts!!!!!
They also rate priddis!!!!!

 

[Suma Magic]

McGinnity had better be sub...
