Changes v Bulldogs

[Dudley Leopard]

We need some dash...

Out: Neale ( rest/ankle), Pitt

In. Hill, Morabito

 

[ImperialPurple]

Dawson should also come back in for (dare I say it??)... Silvagni.

 

[Kepfan]

Dawson should also come back in for (dare I say it??)... Silvagni.

Yes

 

[SupersonicDocker]

Mundy, Lower, Pitt, Silvagni need to be gone from this team. Cannot carry such a bunch of spuds. Ibbotson, Suban and Mzungu would not be very far behind them out the door either. Im sick of this team carrying such dead weight. I hope all the Silvagni>Dawson people never speak again. Two weeks in a row given a bath by his opponents as well as coughing up the ball every time he goes near it...

 

[Righteo]

OUT: Suban Pitt Silvagni Neale (rest)
IN: Duffield Walters Dawson Hill

 

[ilikepotatoes]

In: Morabito (sub), Hill, Dawson
Out: Neale, Pitt, Silvagni

 

[E Shed]

Ins - Hill and Dawson if fit, Morabito, Walters,
Outs - Pitt, Suban, Silvagni (didn't think he was awful but Dawson is better), Neale (injury/rest)

 

[andrew99]

In: morabito, Hill, Dawson

Remember seeing how much the guy was getting attacked when he first came over.
Wasn't a fan myself, but now I realize just how much he offers. The whole defense functions better with him in there because of the support he gives by peeling off his man.

 

[PapaJ]

Dawson should also come back in for (dare I say it??)... Silvagni.

Of course I'd say, but I thought Dawson was a couple of weeks away yet?

SCOS tried hard, and you could see him trying to do the Dawson type thing - leave his man and kill the contest etc. - but he just kept getting it all wrong unfortunately, didn't have a great game last week either. Tough games for a FB to play in, but there can't be too much argument any more, Dawson has to be in ahead of Silva.

 

[Freeeoo]

In: Morabito (sub), Hill, Dawson
Out: Neale, Pitt, Silvagni

This.

Am I missing something? What does Pitt bring? Serious question.

 

[EastcoastDocker]

In: hill, morabito, dawson, sheridan
out: neale, pitt, silvagni, mundy

need some run and spread urgently and some dash off HB.

doubt mundy will get dropped hopefully can get some form in the next month against lesser opposition.

He brings nothing. In some ways that's no slight on the player, he's so young and skinny. He's just not the type who can perform straight away.

I recall seeing him come on as sub a few weeks ago, he looked like a lost chicken.

We need to give him time. I think he was our first round draft pick, it's not like we can jettison him.

Yeah I'm prepared to give any young bloke time. I just don't see where the potential is. He's not that fast, doesn't seem to read the play that well and his disposal is poor. They must have seen something to take him so early, hopefully as you say we will see something in time.

 

[caterina]

We may have other forced changes with injury but Pitt and Silvagni really should be dropped. Both will likely turn into very good players but both have been liabilities two weeks in a row. If Dawson is not fit, play Faulks or Grover or JA.

He must have shown something to get taken as high as he went.

It's possible the stress and pressure of playing in a league he is not ready to participate in is getting to him.

But, I am concerned. We can't afford to be picking duds given the perilous position with our list and the holes we need to fill.

I'd give him till the end of next year to improve. I think he was struggling in the WAFL as well, so if he still isn't dominating like someone of higher class than that level we need to consider our options.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Gotta say scos was lost today. I think he left his boots in Perth and borrowed some off ol Peaky. Grover deserves a shot next week. Mundy should stay in, he just needs to find his groove again.

 

[cp3_jr]

Out: Neale, Pitt, Suban, Clarke
In: Hill, Mora, Spurr, Bradley

Need to add some speed and x factor and I think Spurr and Bradley are upgrades on Clarke and Subes (a bit unlucky).
Silvagni wasn't nearly as bad as everyone suggests, did all those one percenters Dawson is lauded for and can actually take some marks and set up play and his skills were pretty good. Dawes got a few cheapies and SOS is struggling a bit with the zone off stuff but often we were outnumbered and there was no pressure on the magpie mids.
Was much better than Johnson today for instance.

Pearce and Mundy are really struggling still and need to lift. Barlow was brilliant and Pav was very good.

 

[yakka man]

Out - Pitt, Suban, Neale (injured), Silvagni

In - Hill, Morabito (sub), Sheridan, Dawson

We need to keep developing midfielders that can spread and Sheridan certainly fits that bill and has good WAFL form behind him. Sutcliffe could come in also.

 

[Scham]

Ins - Hill and Dawson if fit, Morabito, Walters,
Outs - Pitt, Suban, Silvagni (didn't think he was awful but Dawson is better), Neale (injury/rest)

If we make these changes and maintain the effort that we've shown over the last month, then we should absolutely flog the Bulldogs.

 

[micfreo]

OUT:Mzungu ,not terrible but not so good think its time for a spell in the wfl.
neale (injured)
pitt, got nothin and no impact as a sub
pearce, been good year but to the wafl for a week

Suban to mid/wing, silvagni forward, pav to the middle

IN:Kep if fit/if not walters
dawson
hill
mora

 

[eastfreo75]

IN: Hill, Dawson, Sheridan

Out: Pitt, Silvagni, Neale

 

[free at last]

We need to smash teams over the next month.
Keep teams to 4-6 gls and we score 15-16+ gls.
I think the cats have about 20 percent on us.

 

[tijn01]

Suprised no one has mentioned Crozier to come back in, really liked his game against Essendon and should come back in if he is has overcome his illness.

OUT: Silvagni (looking clumsy out there), Suban, Pitt, Neale (if injured), Pearce (if injured)
IN: Grover / Dawson (if fit) for Silvagni, Duffield (if plays well in WAFL), Hill (if fit), Crozier, Morabito (sub)

If Pearce is ok, Morabito will have to wait.

 

[Seppo]

I don't want to see Mora rushed back when we have others available. Seeing as Peel had the BYE give him one more week and bring him in as a sub against Melbourne. Heard a few Freo officials over here say Mora still needs a week or two in the WAFL.

OUT:
Neale, Suban, Pitt, Pearce
IN:
Sheridan, Walters, Hill, Duffield

By the lack of track work from Dawson, I would say that he may miss one more week to be fully fit. It's not like we have to cover the likes of Barry Hall...
