Changes Round 6 vs Geelong

[Libba39]

I thought Dolan was quiet last week but definitely think he’s worth persisting with.

No Dolan or Arty makes us very slow

Buderick is a bigger loss than Dolan in that regard

 

[BEaston]

Good signs for my preference of Darcy to ruck. However still probably a tall too many. Maybe one is a late out.

 

[DueWest]

I thought we should persist with Dolan. If it was a choice between him and Hynes then so be it.

With Lewis and keeping Emmitt in, I understand but think we are now too tall and immobile with Darce, Naughton Croft forward and Lobb ODonnell and Buku back as well.

Seems to me we are compensating with Lewis who has mature body pairing with Emmitt, both will play 50% TOG

 

[Optimistic Dog]

I would be very surprised if Ed plays.

 

[Doggy]

I would be very surprised if Ed plays.

You'll be very surprised then

Dolan in for Naughton a very reasonable late change chance. I thought Dolan was better than Hynes, and going even taller when Edwards isn't exactly going to stretch us in the ruck, and they bring their 2nd ruck from defence and not their forward line, isn't really necessary.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

4 wins of sensible Bevo and all it's taken is one loss for Crazy Bevo to return.

Naughton will play

We rarely make late changes

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Lewis who has a mature body

I know this is common parlance in Aussie Rules, but as an Englishman, it never fails to amuse me.

Emergencies are Busslinger, McNeil, Cleary

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

If we have Weightman and Arty out and none of Dolan, McNeil or VDM can get a game I feel like we have a bit of a list issue on our hands.

Dolan was great in the VFL two weeks ago. I wish we’d persisted. If VDM and McNeil are fit and available and still not getting a game in these circumstances then why are they on the list?

Dolan completely butchered a straightforward kick when we had some momentum.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that kick was a key reason.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Dolan not even an emergency. They mustn’t been happy with something.

 

[Doggy]

Dolan not even an emergency. They mustn’t been happy with something.

See above

Didn't think to double check Bizarre. Not only did I think Dolan was okay, he's not even an emergency in a match where multiple players are under an injury cloud.

I think this is VDMs first week cleared from a concussion that lasted a while
Makes sense that he needs a game in the 2s

McNeils spot on the list has been confusing everyone for years

 

[BigFloppa]

I also have a mature body but Bevo doesnt like my kind of mature

 

[Struggle]

It's finally happening!

Lewis in to allow Naughton to go down back so Lobb can be in the ruck

 

[Dogs 13]

Dolan completely butchered a straightforward kick when we had some momentum.

Wouldn’t be surprised if that kick was a key reason.

Same thing as McNeil has been doing for years. Miss an easy shot and suck all the oxygen out of any run or comeback we had going. Including the corresponding game last year.

 

[Dogs 13]

I’m still waiting on showing any signs of maturity.

 

[Doggy]

I also have a mature body but Bevo doesnt like my kind of mature

 

[Philthy1]

Ah, the Thursday night melts….

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

I also have a mature body but Bevo doesnt like my kind of mature

Yeah I think I follow you on OnlyFans. Very niche stuff.

 

[bigbulldog67]

I don’t really get the changes but I don’t necessarily think we’re too tall, with 5 on the bench it really changes a lot. Croft, Emmett, Lewis probably play barely any game time.

I think Bev is just allowing for a hell of a lot of options to see what’s working, we have a ridiculous amount of moves that can be made wit the likes of Darcy, Lobb, Emmett, Croft, Lewis

I really don’t think ie Dolan for Lewis moves the needle in giving you more run, it’s just not going to make a difference in the overall scheme of things.

Feels like we’re preparing for a pretty traditional contested & talls game which isn’t a bad idea at alphabet shithole

Dunno what to make of it all to be honest but yeah we got options

 

[CarnTheScray]

Same thing as McNeil has been doing for years. Miss an easy shot and suck all the oxygen out of any run or comeback we had going. Including the corresponding game last year.

I’m aware, I’ve talked about McNeil too much though, placed a ban on myself from discussing him in detail.
