Changes v Brisbane - IN Hogan and Stretch, OUT Viney and Weid

[Theseventhhamster]

Rest Viney until finals.

Rest Viney until finals.

I would rest him knowing we have to firstly get there, and secondly if we do, there's a week off in 2 more weeks...

I'd manage his work load against the Lions, if we're in control rest him in the second half.

 

[Xhoquelin]

Out: Petracca, Weidemann
In: Watts, Kennedy

BenKen not coming in this week if ANB/Trac are rested would be telling IMO.
He has a good rapport with the boys from what I've seen but a move back to SA seems logical as he is clearly out of favour.
Reckon Port could do with him, upgrade on Impey surely. BenKen, Gray, Gray, Dixon, Marshall, Boak would be a pre good forward line for Hinkley from next season onwards IMO

 

[Demon 16]

People suggesting we rest Petracca surprises me.

We have 2 games to win then everyone gets a week off.

If Viney is very sore, I could understand giving him a week at this point, otherwise surely we keep changes to a bare minimum.

I would swap Frost for Weideman and leave it at that for Brisbane.

 

[Tulip]

Unsure why Frost comes back in, I thought in terms of organisation our backline looked the best it had in weeks with TMac back there..

Weid competed well in the air, at least brought the ball to ground on most occasions.

Would love Salem to come back but guessing it'll be no change.

65, 76, 97, 72 - points conceded the last month. Don't think we've been doing badly down back at all.

 

[Yakker]

BenKen is a shitty VFL Player and will be delisted at years end.

How is a bloke who's played VFL all year and upgrade on Impey whos a mecurial talent with a wide ranging ceiling

 

[Russian Demon]

\_0_/ How did BenKen start getting this over rated? Had the chance to smash the door down at VFL level and hasn't done it.

A VFL plodder isn't going to garner any trade value.

 

[djpaulydemon]

BenKen has clearly done enough to warrant selection several times this year but he isn't getting a game. I will be shocked if he isn't playing somewhere else next year.

Trenners/Grimes/Terlich/M.Jones/Michie etc all had great VFL performances. Clearly he's doing a lot wrong to be a VFL player at 2 clubs

I guess thats my point, they weren't/ aren't in the long term plans so they rarely got games despite some solid string of VFL performences. It would suprise me if he got a game this late in the season.

Impey is trash

 

[Bazza97]

Main knock on Kennedy has been his skill execution at VFL level apparently from what I've read. I thought he might have been given a go sometime this year but that probably won't happen now and his cards have been stamped by the looks of it. Not that I'm really complaining though, quite a few players have gone ahead of him in the pecking order now which is good for our club.

Don't agree. Has the run and carry this board creams itself asking for

He's better than BenKen but he's still crap mate.

 

[Bazza97]

He's better than BenKen but he's still crap mate.

If he improves his ability to get more involved in the game, then I think he would be a quality player. He's got the talent but he does go in and out of the game more than you'd like which is my main knock on him.

 

[Topkent]

He's better than BenKen but he's still crap mate.

He's only 22. If people are still willing to give Watts time at 26 then Impey has time

 

[Tempy Tiger]

Sponsorship curse strikes again?

Def seems to be a thing!

Ok, can we sponsor JKH or a rookie next year? Nobody expensive or worth something...

Watts is already drowning in hipster T shirt money. Just plays footy for the tax write off

Kennedy is only one year older. Impey is a good athlete but a dumb footballer and it's a lot harder to teach someone how to be a smart footballer than it is to make them stronger and fitter.

Even harder to get rid of a s**t attitude though.

No doubt. The whispers aren't very flattering to Kennedy if that's what you're referring to.

Good to have you back posting on here regularly DT.

Guess it's gonna be hard to win this argument unless one of us has long a long memory and I certainly won't if Impey is delisted in 2 years.
