Changes v Melbourne

[greg62]

Keeping our WLWL tradition going this year we will have a comfortable win against Dees of 4-5 goals. Media will build us up for Showdown where we will get systematically flogged by 15 goals.

 

[Port 2004]

Yeah I'm genuinely worried we'll get under 20k this week

Oh bullshxx.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

43 SANFL touches probably gets Mitchell back in the side.

 

[Portia]

no thanks

 

[JUSTWORK]

hope not

 

[crafty_bernardo]

25 touches, 6 clearances. Was probably the 3rd best behind Mitchell and Lobbe.

He is also the kind of player who has plays better with better players around him.

Hopefully White is brought back in. Miss his class.

Would take White's game over Mitchell's 4x touches, 12 clearances game.

I really really like Mitchell's effort and attitude but now is not the time. We already know what he is capable of. Time for the young ones to have a go if they are ready.

i wouldnt it be funny if we win the next three, north loose the next three and we pip both North & saints on percentage to get into the 8

We'd look like a hell of a joke if the side that played the Crows,Giants, Cats early in the year and Last week against the Swans was the one that rocked up and lost by 10-15 goals.

Sydney showed that we have put the cue in the rack.

I don't think we actually pulled the cue out at all this year. We spoke a good preseason game and that was about it.

 

[Del165198]

We've sat on the cue, its gone halfway up, then we've started to swivel

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

If Lobbe comes back in the side I'll spew up

I'm all for it. Might help Gawn not score 200 against me in AFL fantasy this week. Lobbe should keep him under 160.

 

[RossFC]

Trengove wants Lobbe in.

 

[FallingLiefs]

I'm a bit worried this could happen:

Out: Butcher
In: Lobbe
Trengove forward.

It should be

Out: Stewart
In: Lobbe
Trengove back.

it would be good to see Trengove forward 1 last time even though he's rarely shown pure forward ability but hardly at the cost of Butcher.

 

[Andre]

Have the bucket handy, it's going to happen. Trengove beaten by 2 rucks, plus Ken loves Lobbe, makes it an almost certain lock.

I'm torn on him having some good games from now until the end of the year. On the one hand it would increase his trade value. On the other given Ken's love of him, we're bound to be stuck with him next year and if he does ok Ken will go back to the well of 'ideas that don't work' and start our 2017 on a shit track by playing him and Ryder together.

We're still giving Mitchell, Schulz and Butcher games. Lobbe will definitely play.

yeh, not really.

we tried to trade him last year and he was either 1) out of the country 2) said no or 3) both of the above. Hopefully this season he has at least thought about the potential of himself leaving and the club has a greater line of communication with him about it. I don't think port are afraid of trading him yet ultimately Lobbe has the final call.

He has the final call, but if he says no, it's hard to see that making it anything but extremely awkward (at best). He'd know he's second fiddle (and that only until Frampton passes him) and if wants to play AFL rather than just make money he's better off going elsewhere. If he just hangs around for the money now, then he's not the person everyone has thought he is.

or he backs himself to become our number 1 ruck by getting his hands dirty and he's exactly the player everyone thinks he is. he's not the bad guy here, port is the one that offered him a four deal on stupid coin for a ruck man that had an overrated singular season that most on this board went into a frenzy over.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I am all for Lobbe back this week given where our season is at and Gawn's likely dominance.

I worry for who goes out though....

The one player who put in last week dropped? There is such a thing as sending the wrong message.

OUT: Ah Chee Amon Butcher
IN: White Lobbe Neade
