Preview Changes: Round 8 Vs Brisbane Lions + pre-match discussion

[Ge3ks]

Henry in. Put him on the wing. Give him room to run.

Duman in, too.

 

[Ge3ks]

Watson, Henry in for Hughes and Chapman.

Duman, Henry.

Watson was already in.

 

[Square Peg]

Crowden and Lobb are the luckiest boys

 

[FreoRicci]

Western a bit stiff. Thought he has been in it harder then Henry

Could still be sub, but yeah, Henry is still a mystery wrapped up in an enigma to me

Henry was good last week.
As weird as it is ... Westerns probably competing for the toughest spot on the ground atm.
Shultz/Frederick/Colyer have all been pretty good. Switowski is ahead of him and currently so are Henry and Crowden.

For him to get a game Frederick probably needs to push to a wing.

Henry did everything you could want in his last Peel game, Western should come in soon though, especially if Frederick continues to be quiet

 

[showemhowtorock]

Henry was incredible for Peel, could have had 5 or 6 himself but had 5 goal assists instead. Very deserving of the recall!!

We have to stop comparing him to experienced players, i think his career will follow a similar path to Bobby Hill. He was a slow burn early, in and out of the side and now this season he has gained some confidence and has come out of his shell. Henry will be okay, he just needs to take some personal kpi wins and he'll hit the ground running

Wym he could literally take Crowdens position?

 

[wayToGo_]

But but but Henry wasn't even listed in the bests on wafl.com.au nor even mentioned in the WAFL Team of the Week!

If you ever needed proof the people who do that crap don't actually watch the games... that would be it.

Shows how depleted we are.

Crowden shoupd have been dropped for Western.

 

[FreoRicci]

Now it’s up to the coaches that have to back him in. No point playing 2 games then out. What’s the message in that? He needs a role where he can maximise his game. Him and Frederick should be future wingers.

Neither Frederick or Crowden are forwards.

All our forwards are over 190cm or 180cm, or lower though so Frederick seems to be the temporary answer.

Rather poor recruiting tbh getting so many short blokes into the list when have one medium forward on our list who happens to be just about the most injury prone player we have.

 

[Docker82]

Crowden and Lobb are the luckiest boys

Crowden yes.

The expectations are unrealistic on Lobb. He’s played his role better than possibly as much as a third of the side the last two weeks. Saying we have better to play his role is stuff of fantasy. He’s just another of this board’s whipping boys who can’t ever satisfy our ‘fans’. I thought as fans we wanted to improve the team - dropping Lobb wouldn’t improve the team.

 

[hoss]

No one dropped for last week's roll over. Some very lucky lads, especially Frederick and Crowden.

I don't understand the logic but I guess we trust Jlo on this one

 

[CapitalA]

I would think it is because Longmuir is trying to build chemistry/team cohesion, can't do that if you change players every week...Even though they were quite bad.

 

[Scham]

No one dropped after that performance is weak as piss! I get that we’re depleted but you need to send a message. WC won easily and they dropped a player.

We’re building a culture folks.

Got absolutely zero to do with being a whipping boy, that is one of the most useless terms. Your post is garbage.
He's a pea heart, piss weak ruckman. He's made Vardy and Campbell look like Ron Boucher in successive weeks. I didn't care that he's the second back up ruck. He kills the team momentum.

 

[Purpleheart_56]

( most injury prone player we have)...It would be very stiff competition for that one...

I think that as well.

i remember his last afl game i thought he didn't play well enough and should have been dropped. However in that game he did things that convinced me he would be an afl player. he started moving through traffic in a way that reminded me of his u18's (but he couldn't cope with any sort of contact). He also got to far better spots but, and this was crucial; he was always 1 or 2 metres away from where he would receive possession. I don't know if that was not having a big enough tank or his execution of his running was off but, he was recognizing where he needed to be.

Two changes isn’t enough I agree.

But I also think the midfield was the main reason we got hammered last week. I don’t think anyone actually suggested dropping a midfielder all week. It’s about right too because dropping most of them is unthinkable.

Dropping Frederick or Crowden, which should’ve been done, doesn’t really send much of a message tbh. Still seems a little strange both held their spot.

Ok mate... enjoy watching Lobb play for the rest of the season.

He’s going absolutely no where.

He is on 700k, and he earns 300k.

If he was on 300k, and he gave some effort and I would appreciate him. He is just so soft.
