Out: Trengove, Cornes, S.Gray, White
In: Clurey, Broadbent, Moore, Stewart

It won't happen but from a team structure point of view there is a compelling case to be made for dropping Lobbe and going with Ryder as sole ruck.

Ludicrous. ..

The bloke got us to a prelim

 

[davesnothere]

I hear your thinking but Lobbe is a pressure freak! Lead the tackles (10) and hitouts (29) for the game yesterday (Port and Tigers players)

Our form with just Paddy was pretty good.

One ruckman got us to a preliminary final.

On that basis let's just play the team from last year's finals and forget about this thread.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

There is something about Palmer, not sure if he's ready but he has a nice build for a first year player

 

[croweyrocks]

Our form with just Paddy was pretty good.

I agree, but we have won 3 matches this year (2 being when Lobbe played).

its bigger than lobbe and ryder.

 

[Wargreymon90]

I reckon neade coming in will have a similar impact as last year.

I'd rather have Neade in average form than Sam Gray

 

[ExpectToWin]

Look we have the cattle to be a contender, we have already proven that. What we need now is some tinkering with the game plan and an injection of confidence. A big part of our current predicament is lack of confidence and a willingness to take the game on. It is not the end of the world and we will come back better for this experience.

Bring in the hypnotherapist who hypnotized Wingard and get the the player believing its still 2014.

That will bring back the confidence

 

[simmo_bc]

will there be many changes given the bye in the SANFL? I don't think so.

Out: Sam Gray, Jacko

In: Someone who has a geniune crack.

I'm taking a week off of work and flying up to Alice to see the game, hopefully the boys assist in giving me a good weeks break!

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

I bet Sam Gray will stay in

 

[simmo_bc]

I'd really be interested in hearing the rationale behind dropping Wingard.

dropping Wingard? you mean, dropping him down to the forward half where he should be playing 100% of the time at the moment given how ineffective our forwards are!!!

Wingard is having a good 2015.

 

[chachi11]

I bet Sam Gray will stay in

Unfortunately I think you might be right

 

[Wargreymon90]

I would be ok with stewart replacing trengove. Jonas plays third tall

Are you talking about a (plan B) because the rest of the competition is all over (A)
Seriously i do agree with you but it seems we have to play to our absolute best to win a game of footy (unless it's a Showdown lol) the good teams in the comp can still win with medioka performances, that's why the cracks are starting to show. Our depth is getting better but when you really look at it, Young, Moore, Stewart, Butcher are all fringe players at best. A few ready made AFL players are needed now if we are to take the next step, before our window closes and Schulz, Westhoff retire.

Whilst they are fringe players at the moment, I'd like to think that Young and Moore have the ability to be AFL players on a consistent basis.

Agree with the other two players. In fact, you have to ask the question as to what value Stewart is giving the club if he hasn't been able to get a game as yet in 2015. I know he was signed up effectively as a depth player but still, give him a crack atleast.

Neade will always be a horses for courses player however I'd like to see him get a game soon. He has been somewhat disappointing so far in 2015 given the last few games of 2014 when he played really well.

I would like to see if Moore can crack it this year, i like his size for AFL footy + my son thinks Moore is Shit and must go, because of that kick in last years prelim, he thinks it's all Moore's fault that we missed the GF lol.

Yep fair call. We need for Moore to step up soon. I rate him but it is frustrating because he seems to be injured or more recently suspended. Maybe we need to trade in one or two. Easier said than done I know.

This is probably a make or break year for Moore, I like him too.

We can't afford to hold on to too many 23 to 26 year old fringe players.

He needs to take his next opportunity and run a million miles an hour, missed a big opportunity when he got suspended in the SANFL.

Hi , a few friends and myself are going up to Alice for the game aswell , is there any pup or club that supporters normally meet up before or after game ?

 

[ab56452001]

Make that Pub !

Not sure! Never been to Alice before but let me know if there is!

I'm staying at the Casino so suspect that is an obvious central point and presumably all the hotels are located near?
