Changes V Melbourne

[ibd77]

Out. Expectation
In. Reckless Abandon

 

[Schulzenfest]

Out:
Sam Gray, Sam Gray, Sam ****ing Gray. I don't care if he averages 40 disposals and 10 goals in the SANFL for the rest of the year, he is not an AFL player and he never will be. He was utterly embarrassing out there. If he ever plays another game of AFL we're taking the piss.

Matt White. Has barely hit a target in weeks. Nowhere near it at the moment.

Trengove, injured.

Cornes. I am absolutely furious that he went out that way.

In:
Neade, the guy who should've been brought in as a crumbing forward this week. Maybe we get lucky and the good Jake Neade shows up. It'd be nice to have somebody who can hit a target past the halfway point of the ground.

Ah Chee. His dropping after the West Coast game was baffling. He has an energy and enthusiasm around stoppages which is sorely lacking at the moment. Bring him back and give him a full game.

Clurey to take Trengove's spot. Melbourne aren't really a team who you can afford to go in against with a short backline. Hogan, Dawes, Pedersen and sometimes Watts/Howe are all up there. We're not winning the flag this year, so we may as well see what the young KPD can do. If not Clurey, then throw Austin in the deep end and see if he swims. It's not like we could get much worse.

Stewart, play him in Kane's role as a defensively minded midfielder/flanker. He's better as a half back but we're already half back heavy.

I don't want to see Broadbent back. There is zero point in dropping him and then bringing him back without making him earn it in the SANFL.

 

[edgie]

OUT: Soft pressers and stupid questions.
IN: Informed reporters unafraid to take Ken to task over baffling inconsistencies in his statements.

 

[RossFC]

OUT forever: Sam Gray(crap, delist now), Kornes(retired)
Out for now: Trengove (injury), White (Needs a rest), Amon (bigger bodies needed)

IN: Broadbent, Clurey, Ah Chee(full game), A.Young(sub), Stewart

 

[SgtSchulz]

Out: Running 70km/week
In: Skills Training + Weights

 

[Chrizzt]

Clearly Sam Gray is an out.
Replace with Neade ideally, who isn't the most exciting in but provides forward pressure which we're missing and can actually crumb which would have been useful a few times today.

Out Jonas. Can't see it happening if Trengove is a forced out though. In would probably be Clurey. Again, not overly exciting based on SANFL but deserves another look in at AFL.

Broady in for hammer would be a close one, but you'd have to imagine Broady would need to prove himself in a SANFL game first.

Schulz is out of form but dropping him doesn't really serve a purpose. He's a proven star of our forward line and playing on SANFL back defenders won't help him.

 

[MALTSY]

Agree that there are players out of form but don't you think there is a structural problem? We are looking so lost and so out of sync with each other. Last year..it seemed every player had ESP!
Todays game reminded me of the Days of Primus....especially when in possession on the half back line. Slow, stagnant and sideways.

That said, I still believe we have an amazing pool of talent and that we should be really careful about mass changes. If this is going to be fixed, it needs to be fixed by
1. keeping our best players together as much as possible.
2. having a clearer and effective game plan...we have been found out and need a way of responding.
3. building confidence back in the players and between each other.
4. Winning

I'm as pissed as anyone about our losses but some of the crap spruked on here is friggen embarrassing.

IN: AhChee, Broadbent, Neade
OUT: Cornes, Amon, Gray

White to be SUB

Sorry Kane!

 

[Lambot]

I don't want to see Broadbent back. There is zero point in dropping him and then bringing him back without making him earn it in the SANFL.

This is an interesting one. If you drop a guy for form, surely you can't bring him back without him regaining form.

But, IMO he shouldn't have been the one that was dropped. Plenty of players performing worse.

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Hartlett lobbe Sam Gray would be first ones I would drop

Pittard westhoff jonas next in line

 

[Powerstufff]

Me.
Since 2011 when I went to every game I have been mocked mercilessly by family and friends for my ability to kill our chances when I attend away games (except Showdowns, when we win). I told Vossy about my record then and since when getting off the plane last week and he looked me in the eyes and said “You might want to think about that.” I have, but I had next week and Essendon and Carlton booked.

 

[ab56452001]

Clurry and Neade in

 

[ab56452001]

Axe must be swung this week. Trengove looks pretty bad and we all know what happens when he is out. we lose more and don't replace him with a key back. Taking emotion out of this loss I reckon Melbourne will honestly pip us this time. They have been pretty close the last 2 times. Anyway to the changes

What I want
OUT: Hartlett, S Gray, Krakouer?, Trengove (inj), Cornes (ret)
IN: Neade, Colquhoun, Broadbent , Moore, Young...................................Palmer (I wish)

What will happen:
OUT: Cornes (ret), Trengove (inj), S Gray
IN: Moore/Ah Chee/ Young, Broadbent , Neade

Amon will be sub 3 weeks in a row so its either a start or dropped. With kane out I reckon amon would get a full game and the vest goes to either hartlett, white or one of the ins.

If you want to be pushed around and loose and fumble the ball even more than at present then play the Hoon , we need someone tougher and with second efforts.

 

[Nemisis]

Bring back Youngy

 

[Premiers04]

Out: Under performing AFL players
In: Under performing SANFL players

 

[PowerLil]

Out: Running 70km/week
In: Skills Training + Weights

Absolutey!!! Why isnt this being spoken about? Can't win a second half to save ourselves. Our players CAN'T run. Jonas couldn't catch me at the moment and I'm short, overweight and 51. Our kicking is appalling which would indicate fatigue. I heard Burgess on the radio Friday night and found him to be quite arrogant and dismissive when questioned about our fitness and tge fact we might be Overtrained. Heads up Burgo, nobody is ever that good or above questioning and accountability. Facts dont lie and I really dont care what the numbers and your GPS data says. I can see it with my eyes.

 

[BornPort]

What I want:

OUT: S.Gray(****ing duh), Trengove, White and Cornes
IN: Neade, Moore, Clurey and Ah Chee
Jonas gets spared thanks to Trengove going down

What we'll get:

OUT: Cornes, Trengove
IN: Colquoun, O'Shea or some bullshit like that.

 

[Jonts]

Out: Trengove, S Gray, White, Cornes

In : Cluery, Neade, Mitchell, Ah Chee

Went most like for like, if we don't go like for like swap Mitchell for Young

 

[The_Big_FUNK!!!]

What I want
Out: Lobbe, S Gray, Hartlett, Cornes, Trengove
In: Ah Chee, Neade, broadbent, Stewart, Moore

What I expect
Out: Amon, Cornes, Trengove
In: Mitchell, OShea, Broadbent

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Out-

Cornes
Trengove
S Gray
White

In-
Stewart
Moore
Neade
Clurey or Ah Chee depending on how we go match up wise.

 

[RossFC]

I have to admit, Lobbe has been absolutely horrible but for some reason I can't see him getting dropped.

 

[The_Big_FUNK!!!]

Let Ryder play as our only ruck. When he was in the centre was the only time we were getting clearances They kicked multiple goals from clearances when Lobbe was in the centre.

Add to that the fact Lobbe has next to no ability to influence the game around at the moment (TAKE A MARK FFS!!!!!).

 

[Duck Farmer]

Out:

Cornes
Trengove (if injured)
S. Gray
Hartlett

In:

Young
Clurey
Neade
Stewart

White to sub.

 

[edgie]

[charcolechaddy]

[SgtSchulz]
