Changes v Hawks

[DockerLand1]

Tanner or collins ?

It has to be Tanner, Roos just said that Collins was not ready yet. Should be a No Brainer with Mora injured, Silvagni injured and Pav out.
What does the guy have to do to get a break???

 

[armpit]

Where can we sign up this 'anyone' bloke?

The cobbler bites.

I want to see tanner play also , but against the hawthorn might be a bit too much. Anywhere hope freo won't use this match as his assessment if Smith does play , a bit unfair that he will be dropped with pav back against Richmond. Either way let Ross decide.

 

[ydraw]

I wonder if we will "rest" anyone else.

At 0-7 we have to legitimately be concerned about the appearance of tanking. We could get away with it in round 23 when we had a final to play next week since resting players was about giving us every chance to win next week. But if we go to Tasmania this week and leave a handful of senior players at home then the AFL would have a very good case against us for tanking.

We only rest pav, gu,deboer ,c.Pearce,Clarke are not first team regular.

Poor Tanner.
Debuts in our annual Tassie Tank game
2nd game in our annual rest for finals game
Gets off the rookie list for the annual Tassie Tank game

That's a hard way to show the club what you can do.

That's how you break up with someone when you haven't got the nerve to tell them you don't want to see them anymore. Poor form Bondy.

 

[salim malik]

What day of the week does a rookie have to be upgraded before he can play in the coming weekends game.

His debut wasn't the tank game, that was 2010. His debut was 2013, we lost by a tassie respectable 42 pts.

Good question, I think I can recall a few announced on Thursday in the past which makes sense.

 

[electricfeel]

To be fair every Tassie game feels like a tank game since we always get absolutely smacked each time

 

[Paracleet]

Tanking has never been easier. Players are so good at counter attacking now that all you have to do is push a few guys up (or away) from a contest and bang bang goal. If we want to tank we'll do it, and no-one will be able to point to any one tactical move and say "that's tanking". If push comes to shove and we're in a position where 3 wins out the last 5 games (a random combination) instead of 2 or 1 is the difference between pick 3 and pick 7, we'll just play more kids.

I classify every Tassie game as a tank game

A very good case? We could point out our record there and that would pretty much squash any tanking talk. Losing to teams like Hawks away would raise about as many eyebrows as Suban kicks right footed gems.

If they wanted to build a case they'd look at the Carlton game as a starting point only from our first 7.

Pretty sure it can be done at any time before being named.

You would think the AFL would learn and stop sending us there, it's not like we are being subtle!

 

[Freoforever86]

Bad feeling they'll play Hannath over Smith this week.

Wouldn't mind Smith coming in for a couple games

 

[yakamoto]

Hannath before Smith! The tank is definitely on.

 

[yakamoto]

On second thoughts that's a bit illogical. We don't need to worry about winning against Hawthorn.

 

[meima]

Maybe is a gentle way to said goodbye to hannath.

 

[Mr Peabody]

Can't see either Hannath or Clarke getting a run after dishing out 12 free kicks between them at Peel. I can only imagine they got reamed as being selfish over that. To then reward them with promotion to the seniors would be ridiculous.

 

[couldhavebeen]

Good chance De Boer will get a game along with Mzungu . Tanner would be right at home

 

[yakamoto]

Or maybe taking him to Launceston and flying back without him.

 

[meima]

Can see we might go with medium small also.

25 team deboer,C.Pearce ,tucker , Grey,hannath or Clarke.

 

[Docker79]

Spot on...and maybe the GC game.

Fair to say our clubs been the most impacted by injuries to players in our best 22...Fyfe, Sandi, Johnno, Bennell & Barra for a few games

A very good case? We could point out our record there and that would pretty much squash any tanking talk. Losing to teams like Hawks away would raise about as many eyebrows as Suban kicks right footed gems.

If they wanted to build a case they'd look at the Carlton game as a starting point only from our first 7.

 

[Docker79]

So Pav's out (resting)..who comes in?
