Preview Changes v. Collingwood - Round 13, 2021

[Headless]

Huge win against the Lions. What we do with the team now?

 

[Proper Gander]

I’m so happy

 

[Headless]

I’m so happy

Well that's the thread just about done. See you in a week or two!

Huge win against the Lions. What we do with the team now?

Fold, with any luck.

 

[Tulip]

Langdon for Melksham is all for me. Hunt had a big second half. Maybe Brown for Weid but he now hasn’t played for two weeks due to the VFL break.

 

[TheBoss]

Melksham has to go. I don't care who replaces him. The goal post had more touches.

 

[Jiska]

Out: Weideman
In: BBB

Despite being laughed off the board for suggesting it three weeks ago, Weidemen is just not up to it. Third forward at best. Need BBB crashing packs, taking the best defender and having a reliable shot on goal. TMac number two forward. Weidemen number three and dump Melshkam if you really want him in.

Premiership dynasties all have a big bustling forward.

Get. Him. In.

 

[ImissFrosty]

OUT: Melksham, Weideman
IN: Langdon, BBB

[netslave]

Melksham and Weid out.
Chandler/Bedford and BBB in.
edit - forgot Langdon

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I'd ****ing love to see us dish out a QB belting. Didn't really care how much we beat North by as long as we won, but Collingwood have doled out some hurt to us along the way. Was a lot of fun torching them last year with 16 minute quarters. Should be putting up a cricket score on a small ground next week, and if not they are so dour we should be aiming to keep them to under 50 points.

Your best line ever.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Weid testing my patience greatly, not fussed between he and Ben Brown now, how bout neither or Mitch instead?

 

[CWaffles]

Melksham has to go. I don't care who replaces him. The goal post had more touches.

Seriously though, had more touches than Beastmode.

 

[King Kunta]

Melk out for Langdon. Perhaps Bowey in if Hunt pulls up sore.

I'm holding on Weid for now. Needs to improve but he's presenting well for the most part and he gives us something defensively that I don't think Brown can. Hoping that he's one bag away from settling into his position.

 

[dylan93]

OUT: Melksham, Weid (Hunt)
IN: Langdon, Brown (Bowey)

 

[Deemanding]

Seriously though, had more touches than Beastmode.

Seeing as Beastmode had about 10% TOG...not much to be satisfied with!

Langdon for Melksham is possibly the most obvious change in the history of football.

I'd love to give M Brown a run just to stick a rocket up Weid. Lost all confidence in his goalkicking.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Mitch Brown is terrible. He's as mobile as a lamp post, and gets caught out of position way too often. Might as well have 17 on the field when he's outside of forward 50. Better off playing another midfielder or a small forward than Brown. At least Weideman flies for marks and brings it to ground. Might be time to tell him to just stay inside 50 and try to find easy marks on the lead instead of burning his energy around the ground, which is all Mitch Brown does except Weid's forward craft is much better.

 

[stEdy]

After such a huge win it's hard to be critical, but Melksham has completely lost the plot. Get him out of the midfield. Did he even have a kick inside 50 tonight? Give him the ball 70m out and let him kick to a lead - that's about all he can do.

Melksham out Langdon in. JJ and Sparrow can spend time in Melksham's spot

 

[Topkent]

Melksham keeps getting it from everyone, fair enough after tonight.

But Jayden Hunt is still being carried by an amazing defence.

Averaging less than 10 touches the last 6 weeks. We are basically holding onto him hoping he finds form

It’s a pretty nice luxury to have lol, to be able to keep him in just hoping he might eventually turn in a blinder, and he’s still fun to watch. V unMelbourne like to be able to safely carry downhill skier types.

Totally agree.

You are forgetting Langdon though…

OUT: Weid, Melksham
IN: Brown, Langdon

 

[AmericanAFL]

Weid isn’t a great goal kicker. He makes up for it by not being a good marker.

 

[Dory_77]

Can't fluff set-shots if you don't have any. Big brain by Weid.

 

[Demon 16]

Melksham must go. Langdon to come in.

Pretty sure Viney declared he’d be right for the QB game too, but not sure how’s he's tracking.

I’d probably give Weid 1 more game but wouldn’t have a problem if we swap him out for Brown now.

I actually thought we looked too tall last night - particularly in the front half.

 

[Robos]

Like to see BB for weid !
landgon surely
Will viney be ready ?
Some strong inclusions
