Changes v Brisbane R17 2013

[d33my]

Sorry RandB

Didn't see the game against the Cats today but from the sound of it Dunn and Nicho are due for a rest.

Strauss in? Sellar for Dunn? The mind boggles.

 

[Blackas87]

Out: kent

In: Viney

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Viney and McKenzie in. Kent and mystery random injury, or failing that, Davey/Dunn out.

 

[Geddy Lee]

nicholson f off

 

[Tulip]

Dunn played his best game in weeks, except for one non-fly vs Pods.

Out: Nicholson, Kent

In: Viney, Rodan

 

[Sellout Scully]

In: Rodan, Viney, Strauss
Out: Dunn, Kent (needs a spell), Nicholson

Given we're playing in Darwin I think we need to bring David Rodan back in.

 

[DeeWong6996]

Didn't watch the game so can't comment on the outs, but these are my preferred ins.

Viney, Rodan and McKenzie

 

[Tulip]

Given we're playing in Darwin I think we need to bring David Rodan back in.

Agreed. It's only fitting that he be allowed to play 5219km away from his home: Fiji.

Seems about right. Didn't see the game so I can't comment on Dunn's performance - keep him in only because there doesn't seem to be anyone banging down the door to replace him. He might do some silly things but I suppose it's good to have a mature body down there.

In before someone mentions Strauss.

[CWaffles]

I would like to see Tapscott get an opportunity with this new style of football we are playing before the end of the year, add Viney and Rodan.

Get Nicho out, give Kent and Dunn a spell aswell.

 

[d33my]

In before someone mentions Strauss.

Dunno, Strauss and Dunn are fairly different players, Dunn's got about 8kgs on Strauss and is taller (I think)- not sure if a straight swap would be good for balance. I've got NFI what Brisban's forward line is like though so don't know who would be more valuable. Strauss generally a better ball user though.

 

[AFL is Number One]

out Spud Dunn
Spud Nicholson
Spud Kent
G.T.F.O

Whomever...we will probably bring in the same imbeciles we dropped last week or the week before. Big deal.

 

[rhaz]

Still got a Casey game tomorrow. Lots of guys who haven't played for 2 weeks.

out Spud Dunn

You're being an idiot. No need to sugar coat this.

Not really brother. just stating the facts about our illustrious team. I'm just sick of sticking up for these overpaid spuds.

Spud Jamar, Spud Davey is just ridiculous.

Spud Kent is laughable.

Why have you lost your shit now when we actually look the best we've been all season.

We got pumped by nearly 70 points....we had a world record low inside 50 count...and you still think that today is the best we've been all season?? please.....

 

[blured]

Kents got time and ability on his side
Dunn and Nicholson have nothing really they are both poor kicks under pressure and you rarely see them go for repeat efforts in contest situations.

 

[Dez!]

He didn't say yesterday was our best game of the season, he meant the last weeks are the best we've looked all season.

Kent has played bugger all games and has looked good in most of them, he's been a bit down the past couple of weeks and you're already labeling him a spud? This is why you are regarded as an idiot.

Good comment "Dez" . Well done. Good boy. Print off and take to school tomorrow for "show and tell"

While Dunn is prime delist candidate at season's end (IMO), he was reasonable yesterday. He works hard, but is just dumb - makes shocking decisions and takes too long to make them. I'd be at a loss as to suggest who might come in for him though - JMac? Another delist candidate. Strauss? See how he goes today... Gillies? I'll cut my wrists if that happens. Sellar? We would be too cumbersome in defence with the Lions flanker/mid-dominated forward line.

So, after all that, if Strauss plays a blinder in the VFL I think he could come in for Dunn. But Dunn is definitely not first dropped this week.

I agree with others that Kent looks like he could use a rest. He's fine, and did a couple of nice things yesterday, but only 3 tackles as a small in the wet in a team that had 103 tackles suggests to me that he may be tired.

Nicho gets the chop hopefuly. I haven't been shy about my thoughts on him recently, and he was shit again yesterday.

Not saying he should be dropped, but Howe had a stinker. Besides his goal, did absolutely nothing all day and managed to survive the day without notching up a single tackle on the stat sheet! Zero, out of 103! Watts also had only the one tackle, but spent most of the day stranded in no-man's land.

So after all that drivel, I come to the same conclusion as SSF:

Out - Nicho, Kent, X
In - Viney (hopefully), Rodan (shouldn't have been dropped), y

 

[old_clint]

Agreed. It's only fitting that he be allowed to play 5219km away from his home: Fiji.

That's longitudinally-speaking, latitude-wise there's hardly any difference.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Bad loss for the Scorps and it doesn't look or sound like any Demons played any better than vfl level.

Disappoint
