Preview Changes V Bombers

[Geoffa32]

Is there any way we can fake bus issues, divert to Southern Cross and somehow convince Ned to get on the VLine back to Geelong without him realising?

Get PIRSA to reverse the Snapper ban in the Gulfs just for Friday.....

Crouch is definitely getting at least a game. Which probably means Berry straight in.

I'd love McHenry out for Dowling. I just don't see them doing it though.

You are losing nothing at all by making that change..in fact you can only gain as we give a talented youngster a crack in place of a guy that is done at this level as an effective player

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

McHenry - **** off. Forever.

Murphy - I know you’re injured - but **** off. Forever.

Carry on

After watching parts of the SANFL game today there is no chance Peds comes back in. The reasons he got dropped (particularly his inability to hit a target and be composed with ball in hand) followed him into the SANFL.

Yes he had 18 disposals but very little of these actually hit of target or didn’t go out on the full.

I reckon Smith and Laird will start getting nervous on Thursday for selection.
The change up in the midfield today showed how poor Lairds game is.
You could see his heart sank when Berry kicked the winning goal while he was sitting on the bench while everyone else there were jumping up and down with excitement.
And surely Ned's card is stamped

 

[Trigger13]

Dawson won’t play next week. Will get one for the sling tackle. Exactly the same as Cameron’s tackle.

Which was the same as Toby green’s?

 

[Swan97]

Which was the same as Tony greens?

Who’s tony green play for?

Its a very damning comment to make, however there is no doubt youre right.

The video is worse, because it shows the players on the bench jump up celebrating.

So the ‘parts’ you watched just happened to be every single disposal by Pedlar?
We have players in the A side now doing worse.

Ahh don’t worry form has nothing to do with our selection

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Out: Crouch , Ned

In: Dowling, Berry

Sholl to be sub.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

McHenry, Butts, Smith and ROB have no business being near the AFL side.

The first of the four because he is shit. The other three because they have been horrible.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Butts - McKay had a career best contested marks.

Could Borlase do any worse? And atleast he makes better decisions.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Out: McHenry, Butts, ROB, Smith

In: Peds, Borlase, Strachan, Ryan

Would also consider Curtin for Smith

This about Laird.

 

[NSolis]

Assuming Crouch is suspended we'll see Berry in, 100%.

Only player who would potentially be dropped is McHenry, and it would be for Berry. So in case of the suspension I'm not sure, maybe McHenry survives. Or maybe he's out for either Pedlar or Dowling.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Laird probably feels entitled to play midfield, he’s carried our midfield for 3 years. He was on SEN in preseason saying the kids will just pinch hit.

We need to play this guys to their strengths. Laird at HB has been retired, he should take McHenrys role where he can still win the footy, pressure and tackle but at a much higher level.

Dawson is lost as a midfielder, his strengths are marking and kicking (hopefully). Champion data says he played 54% fwd today which hopefully continues.

One of Crouch/Laird at cbas is important, they are still our best first possession guys who can dish it out to Soligo/Rankine.

 

[Interloperer]

They should consider Dawson in the third target Gollant/Burgess roll next week. And a 'nearest warm body' policy for the backup ruck.

 

[AFC979810]

Should be an easy week at the selection table IMO:

Outs: Crouch (Susp) / Ned McHenry

We have to keep assessing our out of contract youngsters - Hamill, Cook, Gollant and Berry.

IMO I don't think we waste any games on - Parnell, Sholl, McHenry and Borlase.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

I'd love McHenry out for Dowling. I just don't see them doing it though.

How they could possibly keep McHenry after that shocker is beyond me. Surely he's back in the 2's and never to be seen at AFL leve again.

Teflon ned?. Lol

 

[Minor Threat]

I’ve loved Berry’s intensity when he comes on as sub. I’m not sure he has the tank to do it for four quarters, so maybe he stays sub?
