Prediction Changes round five

[Pragmatic Shill]

I watched Sier in the VFL, there is no way he's coming in.

 

[Collingwood Always]

We need to blood some players who haven’t had an opportunity yet. I want all 40 listed players to be able to play a role when called up. As we saw last year the more players we play the more they can get use to our game plan towards the business end of the season

I'm not sure which players you have in mind, but the idea of blooding players just for the sake of it at this stage of proceedings seems a bit fraught.

Doubt Aish will be dropped, the coaches seem to rate him highly

I'd continue with Brown for a few games to see if he can get his confidence up.

I agree with this. I'm a fan of Brown, and I think he is building more confidence and game awareness each time he plays. His position is vulnerable, though, so he needs to keep showing signs.

Like everyone else I'd like to see Sier back in, but it seems reasonable that he'll need another run or two at VFL.

Sier doesn't get a recall yet for mine. Needs a few weeks of top output. His disposal ratio has always been a bit skewed I reckon. When a man can kick the ball 50 metres off one step, why would he look for so many handpasses? Especially if they are to players in a worse position? It bothered me last year and he's still playing that way it seems. Happy for any analysts to set me straight here.

For mine he proved himself best 22 last year, so he only needs one good game. I don’t mind someone who handballs it and looks to release the runners, it’s something I wish Adams would do more of.

Did he make a few mistakes that I’m forgetting? Because I’m not sure what he’s done wrong in both games.

 

[nahnah]

Not a big fan of Brown but I rather him than Crocker if Beams doesn’t play

Wills will only make a slow midfield slower.

In this case it's not about slow its about bulk and power - Bont was literally bullying our guys last night, as was West Coast. It is a major reason why we so often struggle in the clearances so if Sier is still a little way off we NEED a big body in there negating that.

After Wills we don't seem to have a big bodied mid who can do the job.

Beams will come in,
And Pendles must be on thin ice.

The captain won’t be on thin ice.
We aren’t going to be a laughing stock and drop our captain and one of our most decorated players in the club’s history...so let’s give that a rest.

Beams in is a must.
Be interesting to see or hear how Sier went yesterday?
Another big body would be handy.

I think Pendlebury should be given Aish’s role.

Thanks bucks

 

[Anzacday]

If Checkers is in trouble for that, so is Crozier.
His hit to Billy's neck/head after he marked the high ball, (2nd qtr) was worse.

On what basis is he on thin ice, love to hear the reasoning and who is coming in for him

 

[swoop42]

Our season so far.

Round 1. Rusty and poor.

Round 2. Promising but inefficient.

Round 3. Disappointing.

Round 4. Bloody awful but got the chocolates.

Like the Dogs the Lions will be coming off a 5 day break.

Brisbane forecast.

Back pocket?

Back pocket?

High half back

No need to be a smartarse. You don't need to be a coach to know that a bloke who keeps coming to the bench for a spell every three minutes isn't going to be called up for an AFL game.

 

[Doc1763]

Thanks bucks

Wouldnt think he'd come in after just one game, and a very limited pre season.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Out: Mayne (inj)
In: Beams

Aish on extremely thin ice.

That didn’t stop him from being selected last year.
