Unofficial Preview Changes v GC17

[chubbspeterson]

Classic North.

Move player who has looked a natural forward, back.

Move a natural backman, forward.

Dawson for the bingo, move him everywhere in his career, except the place that actually got him drafted when he was looking like an undrafted player.

Fwiw this was suggested by Kane Cornes as well because of his attributes.
I don't think it's completely outrageous given he played juniors as a defender, but I'd prefer to settle Bath fwd.
But we could have had a look at it in the 2nd half when the game was done and he wasn't getting near it.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Whitlock for Logue (Logue deserves to be dropped, Pink and Corr don't deserve a recall... sigh)
Hardemann for Blamires
Harvey for LMac or Daniel
Dovaston for Kont

What it will probably be...

Hardemann for Blamires
Whitlock for Dawson
Powell for Kont

 

[DuckYeah]

Charlie Comben

This bloke is useless and wouldn’t get a game in any other team. Great example

 

[MinistryOfMajak]

Powell's injured so that rules that out.

Hoping to see:
Hardeman for McDonald
Harvey for Konstanty (Daniel forward)
Pink for Zurhaar

Doubt that any of those changes actually happen, but it's what I'd like to see.

 

[Blightys Barrel]

So no Tom Powell, which is good as he has been tripe this year.

Hardemann has to come in and I think the sacrificial lamb will be Blamires.

Would like to Whitlock in for the Greek Lounge Logue.

Clarko and team will still protect the untouchables, and LMac, Daniel and Bull will be kept in under “things can turn really quickly” mantra that old mate Clarko and Viney bang on about all the time. All I can say is try not to lose the game at the selection table again with playing spuds who never improve.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Out: spargo, konstanty and Dawson
In: Hardeman, Harvey and Powell

Give me just the first 2 changes now

I think Kanes point is not necessarily that Baths best position is back but given the lack of options and his natural abilities, why not give it a look?

 

[shintemaster]

Nothing frustrates me more than clubs making the necessary changes only after their shot is fired for the year, especially if we actually improve when done and dusted from a season POV due to those changes. Don't need 6 guys out who I have on my list, but absolutely think 1-2 untouchables should be gone this week.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Yep. I would've had a look at it in the 2nd half to get him in the game.

 

[Zebrah]

You a happy clapper for Happy Meal?

If luke the gimp plays, i’ll be loading up on Humphry to go bananas on sports bet.

I am not an LMac fan, but this week I want defenders.

It worked for the Brissy Lions back in the day. Leppitsch and Johnson were natural forwards.

Good forwards can make great backmen.

That being said, leave Trembath where he is. We need to take more marks as a team.

 

[TheKanga]

What's going on with Trembath and Larkey?
It's like they can't get near the ball and completely unsighted.

 

[Gasometer]

They need to lead more and the ball altitude and hang time into the forward line needs to drop by 100 metres and 2 minutes respectively

 

[Gasometer]

[Masked Avenger]

Plenty tipping Blamires will be dropped - will be extremely disappointing if he is.

In addition to a system failure on the weekend, you can add our lack of run and athleticism to the list as to why we got smashed by a top 6 team on a spacious deck.

If we're determined to run with a team consisting of non athletic types like Spargo, McDonald, Parker, Daniel, Logue and Zurhaar as a group then we need more Blamires types not less.

Since Jy moved backed to a wing after his run with roles, Tom's been shuffled back to defence at times which is not his best role.

He's a deadset winger.

Play him FFS.

Totally agree. A strong runner in a team of horrendous runners.

Idiotic he was dropped once, twice would be insane.

That said we've built a list that looks more suited to 1996 than 2026 so who bloody knows.
