Changes Round 8 v Saints

[Seadog]

Marsden

12 touches at 58%DE
2 contested
164 metres gained
1 tackle
2 turnovers
0 inside 50's

Also had a speccy taken on his head.

Inspiring stuff. Club legend

Like Venables he started ok then disappeared. The time draws near.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Oh God, we're going to lose this game.

Hickey for Vardy

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Cole was alright tonight.
Duggan wasn't, he was very poor not a AFL standard from him
Since he has come back from his knee injury he has been poor

Rotham should come in for Dugaan, Rotham can play Duggan's role better than him at the moment

Bring in Ah Chee for Masten

Drop Oscar Allan and bring in Matt Allen

Cripps is running on top of ground he is where Yeo was three weeks ago trying to find his match fitness after missing most of preseason

So we probably persist with him
Venables is another that doesn't offer a lot

But problem bringing in AhChee and Matt Allen is both play as central midfielders in the WAFL.
If they come in will be shoved to a flank or a wing where they are not as effective

Unless match committee make a decision to change the midfield rotations to let those two get
more midfield minutes
Which means Shuey and Yeo spend a few minutes at half forward or half back which i wouldn't mind.

 

[Balls In]

No changes

 

[Cuzz09]

Roof = no rain = hooray.

Just that makes me a bit more confident.

Our talls can trouble them.

100% agree with this. Brooksby is a bull at the contest and would offer more than Vardy - did Vardy even take a mark tonight. Master does nothing much now and Venerables is only good for one quarter. I question Hutchings value too - we would be better served with another attacking midfielder.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Hope Simmo just backs the boiz in.

Making changes is risky, can't be too careful.

 

[The old man]

Out: Masten
In: Ah Chee

The really telling thing at the ground though was that he was often out on his own calling for the ball and when whoever had the ball saw who it was, they looked for another option! Was almost feeling sorry for him.

In: A 4 QUARTER EFFORT

 

[omgfridge]

- Vardy
+ Hickey

Easiest change if fit.

Brooksby didn't impress me all that much live. But probably offers more than Vardy right now.

As a big Masto protector, tonight wasn't his best game but our outside WAFL mids aren't banging down the door. Josh Smith got 2 goals but was pretty bad besides that. Does Ah Chee have the tank? Waterman if fit could do it but then we might be too tall again. I'd leave Masten in for now.

Would love to juggle the team to fit Rotham/Waterman in. Allen did some good things tonight but needs to work on his set shots.

Yes! Seemed to always be open at half back/wing for the switch but they hardly used him. Could be something to do with the fact that you can never be sure which team he is going to kick it to [emoji23]

Haha thought the exact same thing watching at the ground.

Saw Hurn blatantly look at Marsden at least twice and choose to kick the ball under pressure himself rather than link up with him.

Think Schofield and Cole burnt him as well from memory.

 

[ep2018]

Honestly we should be winning this one. They are pathetic with all their outs.

 

[twinkletoes#17]

Hickey in for Vardy
MAllen in for Venables
Waterman in for OAllen (looked out of gas at half time)

And in a perfect world -

Smith (best replacement runner we have right?) in for Masten

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I too like to blame the outside player for getting in space and being repeatedly burned by teammates. I also like to then cite a low disposal count as proof that they’re not doing their job.

I mean the guy is deadset average but come on, being burned is now his fault as well?

Peter Wright ran more than Masten did today... He's clocking up much less km's than he has in previous years since the trackers have been public and is career low in just about everything. Smith will run more than masten if his "role" really is about that, but tbh his role is just "defensive wingman" which, isn't just about km's but also about the ability to occasionally lock the ball in and win an isolated contest - which he can't do. Ah chee is a good contested player and much better overhead and it's hard to see him tackling worse, or getting less ball than masten's 14 touches 3 contested.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

In: Hickey/Brooksby Rotham
Out: Vardy Cole

Why Cole out and not Duggan ?
Would like to know your reasoning as i think Duggan has been worst than Cole ?

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

1. Lost the ruck big time and Vardy sadly out of form
In - Hickey
Out- Vardy and if Hickey not good to go then Brooksby

2. Gaff is not our answer to the inside and Masten was rubbish tonight so Masten our and Gaff 100% wing and Redden to the other wing bringing MAllen in to the inside mid role
In - MAllen
Out - Masten

I would like more changes as Schofield looks past his best with decision making and execution. It might work with St skikda not playing tall to play Hurn FB and Rotham in.

Venables in the team and staying after pretty piss poor output means he is not being held to right level of accountability. I could accept Ah Chee for Venables but not that excited about it.

I came away thinking we are at least one A grade midfielder (inside) at least from competing.

Is it just me or this year is feeling like 2017?

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Any proposed changes are going to be heavily dependent on fitness and on a fast deck at Marvel you don't want to be going in with a dicey hamstring/thigh. So being optimistic;

IN: Hickey/Brooksby, Waterman, Rotham, MAllen
OUT: Vardy, OAllen, Duggan, Mharsden.

I'm more concerned about his lack of inside 50's than anything else.

We all know he's a spud unless he's getting the ball out in open space, but that simply isn't happening.

For all his "Gut busting" running, for which he wasn't in the top 5 in the ground for kilometres covered mind you, his DE was a very poor 58%.


So we're carrying an expert runner who's one saving grace is his endurance and foot skills, and yet his DE is poor and he's not delivering the ball inside 50.

So what exactly is the point?

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

After today, well the last month really, I'm really not confident of winning next week.

So

Out: Somebody
In: Brander for a week
