Preview Changes v GWS

[Tundrawolf]

Hmm I don't know if I'm happy with this. Going in with 1 ruck again.

Even if Clarke played we'd still only have one ruck. He's a liability at the moment.

 

[Demons09]

Bringing Suban back, looks like we're really looking for that early draft pick.

 

[Kram]

Don't mind rotating Tucker for Hughes but Suban get stuffed.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Did Suban even play overly well in the WAFL last week? Dont remember seeing his name in the bests.

ANYWAY, congrats to Ethan Hughes, looks a very very likely player and scored a well earned run at the top level.

 

[raffrox]

Jeez Clarke is on the way out.

Maybe we can get a straight swap for Shaun Hampson.

 

[YelloMit]

Grey has been great in his 2 games, yet gets dropped for ****ing Suban of all people?

Goddamnit.

 

[Docker82]

Suban has one good game, gets back in.

Ready for another twenty odd games of shite.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

we might get some decent melts now

 

[Kram]

Grey may lack some polish but should still be in the side for the moment.

 

[BurnedScones]

Suban: WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?

 

[Righteo]

Looks like De Boer is done. Suban being back after only needing one decent WAFL game gives me a stomach ulcer to think about.

Also, Clarke injured again or...?

 

[E Shed]

Geesus. Suban. Why?

Any faith I had in Ross being able to rebuild has been eviscerated. I give up.

Hughes in is great! Ibbo in is necessary. Suban in is !&$@.

Don't mind the outs but have no idea who is going to ruck against their mummy when Griff is resting.

 

[Freoforever86]

Grey must have done something wrong? No idea what but.. Deserves his spot over Blakely (no offense to him, just didn't impress & last in). Tucker unlucky, but decent 1st crack & goes back to work in things.
Glad Ibbo is back, not so sure on Suban..

 

[YelloMit]

Nah, he just sucks and has no passion.

 

[Allikat]

Given Griff's form this year, it feels like we're going in ruck-less.

 

[Righteo]

So Suban coming back in so soon suggests his dropping was a bit like Ibbo's (yes I'm just speculating), a "wake up call" to a senior player. What Ross amazingly hasn't realised yet is that no amount of wake up calls can help Suban, he just isn't good enough and never will be. FMD

I realllly need to focus on Hughes getting a nod to preserve my sanity. Go Hughsey!

 

[calaisking]

Massive task for Griff taking on the mummy.

I was confident we would get off the donut this week, not so much now.

Grey, stiff. Thought he did ok. Musnt of stuck to the game plan last week, can't see why he would been dropped otherwise.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

****ing Spudan.

Better ****ing trade him, if he's still clogging the list next year we're cooked.

Tucker I don't mind, I imagine he'll be rotated in and out.

Ross give a little insight into their thinking with the youngsters here:
'Our focus is the next moment' - Lyon
Don't have an issue with youngsters being given a taste then a task to improve in one or two areas back in the WAFL before returning to try and execute at a higher level.It's how the world works.
It's not about winning on Saturday.
It's about thoughtfully blooding our young talent and developing the list to construct a long term winning AFL team.
Don't think it's necessarily Suban for Grey;it's confusing for me I thought maybe 'The Pig';don't have the info to know what they're up to.
I don't believe it's stupidity, lack of direction or understanding.

 

[Grape Bear]

Can someone explain to me why Grey has been dropped for.... Susan?

 

[Righteo]

Don't think this applies these days, certainly not for the young blokes who've gotten at least 2 games regardless of performance. Early days but unless he kills it Blakely will come out the week after. Grey and Tucker both getting dropped after two weeks strongly hints at this, their performances weren't comparable at all (Grey was good, Tucker less so) but both are gone as if we're following some set plan. Surely you judge it solely on merit and not some preconceived rotation policy...

Rotation policies are ****ing shit

 

[G Mus]

Looks like we're gunning hard for the win imo

+1 to this. We have had a large number of young inexperienced players take the field over the last month. To expect them to suddenly cement their place is optimistic. They will be back, better for the run.

I am wondering who is going to go with Mummy and Lobb though. Griffin and ??? Pearce? Dawson? A big ask, but good to see Clarke is not getting a free ride.
