Opinion Changes v Essendon ins Neale, Shane, Collins, Rixx, Griff, DP

[Kram]

Can't see the logic in Suban playing in place of Logue who needs games into him. It is obvious that Kersten, McCarthy, Cox and Tabs can't all play in same side. I'd play McCarthy any day over Kersten whose last game(Swans) was just if not worse than McCathy's last week. Kersten would have been dropped if not for his groin injury last week.

Kersten had kicked 10 goals in 5 games back into the side before the Sydney debacle, hardly horrible form.

Does anyone know who the traveling emergence was/is?

 

[DaveLister]

Suban is playing to make sure he get's us that sweet sweet 5th band free agency compensation

 

[FreoRicci]

De Luca, Darcy, Logue, McCarthy- OUT
Collins, Sheridan, Griffin, Kersten, Neale IN

Suban, Suttclife and Sheridan playing together. Oh what joy

Neale in and de Luca out. The inclusion of Lachie Neale is without doubt the worst coaching decision in the AFL this season.

 

[DollaDollaBeal]

Disappointed, to say the least, at Josh being dropped.

Yep. Same here. Was okay last week, amongst others. Seem like he's the scapegoat.
Will be cherry ripe for the WAFL finals at least

De Luca, Collins and Nyhuis have every right to feel frustrated and disappointed with how the coaching group have treated them this year. Spurr constantly picked ahead of Nyhuis in a rebuild and Nyhuis being dropped every two weeks. De Luca should've played more footy this year. Collins playing only his second game is beyond face palm worthy.

I won't be surprised all get booted out and players like Sheriden,suban ,ballas and MJ all offer contract extension if sunday match produce better results.

Same feeling here. Will need those player for 'experienced' reasons.
Nyhuis and de Luca have years ahead of them.
Sheridan and Suttclife should NOT be at the club next season. They have had enough chances, they're never but vanilla footballers. But Ross will probably like them anyway

Collins playing only his second game is beyond face palm worthy.

He's just average for mine and looked unfit in his 1 AFL game.

Disappointed De Luca not playing.

If McCarthy was omitted then why isn't he lining up for Peel?

Yup he is lining up for peel .

 

[mr robot]

Yup he is lining up for peel .

So he is, thanks Meima. Freo left him off their list of Peel players...

 

[Vintage]

Yep, if we lose by enough we could drop from 14th to 14th. Sweeet.

 

[freo1997]

Disappointed, to say the least, at Josh being dropped.

There's obviously only so much you can say on here..but what do you think his chances are to stay on the list at season's end. To be dropped after putting up arguably his best performance is a disgrace imo.

 

[PapaJ]

Not surprised about Logue in some ways, he was poor last week no doubt, but his athleticism might come in handy against the Dons - looks like we're going to rely on Collins instead who is easily a better defender, but no where near as mobile. Really should have played them the other way round, Collins last week Logue this.

As for Deluca. Can't understand that. He hasn't been smashingly good, but he was one of the few last week that played with real energy. With a team playing as flat as we were for 3/4, why take out an energy player who has pace and can score a bit?

Speaking of which, Sherridan - Please, please play like your career is on the line, because it is. You've got more talent than people think, but you've just got to get in there and fight for your life.

 

[who_let_the_dogs_out]

Come on Dockers, will be cheering hard for your boys this weekend if we're to play finals. Would love to see you finish off the bombers anyway!

Also, credit to your admin dept - i emailed your club this week asking when your players were flying in and out of melb as i need Joel Hamling's autograph to complete my premiership jumper. Didnt really expect an email back (i explained i was a dogs supporter in need of an autograph) and certainly didnt expect the info i needed. Got an email back with the times within the hour. Well done Dockers.

 

[electricfeel]

Uninspiring changes. Then again it is the last round and everyone has packed up and simply going through the motions now.

Will catch up with him and see where he is at. Im sure he's thoroughly disappointed, unless there has been other conversations had around why he's out.

 

[Joao]

I'm disappointed for Josh. Not sure what he did wrong against the rest of the team last week. I hope he has done enough this year to get another one.

The others are fair enough I suppose given who we do and don't have available. Don't understand the Neale decision though. I hope he doesn't damage himself. Maybe his ailments aren't as bad as we think.

doesnt look good for josh deluca,ross the stubborn boss didnt exactly give him the vote of confidence like he does with his favourite footsoldeirs i feel bad for the kid i would be pissed if i was him considering how well he played last week

 

[Righteo]

Deluca should be feeling pretty aggrieved by that.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Gee, not sure where to start here

"Rixx" lol
