Preview Changes v Norf

[StingBitten]

Hannath is waste of time. Better to pinch with Johnson and A. Pearce. I would bring in Collins or Silvani to free up Johnson.

Silv can pinch as well actually.

 

[Banker]

Please no Hannath, we don't need another potato on the field.

 

[FreoRicci]

In: Griffin, Taberner, Morabito and Grey

Out: Sandi, Suttclife, Mayne and Suban

Would get an upgrade I'm sure. Either Bennell indefinitely ?

 

[freoextra]

Far too early to consider Morabito, must play 3-4 weeks before a call up to be fair to him.

 

[go_the_dockers]

We have a free spot on our list. Don't need to put anyone on the LTI. Morabito needs 2-3 games in the WAFL before he is ready.

 

[Deveraux]

Mayne can't remain undroppable after his terrible form, it sends the wrong message.

Crozier in for Mayne. Would like Mora to come in for Suban or Muz but Ross will give him more WAFL time. DeBoer showed he is stuck in that talent limbo between WAFL and AFL.

Ideally we transition in Tucker and Collins too, how is Collins ball use? Even if he is only shutdown it could free Jono up.

Will be interesting to see our starting 22 after the bye.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

No Taberner. His leading patterns suck. He will only ever be a good WAFL player.

 

[imperial_oz]

In: Griffin, Taberner, Morabito and Grey

Out: Sandi, Suttclife, Mayne and Suban

Leave Sutcliffe, drop Suban and then you need to look very hard at Barlow and Mzungu

 

[Banker]

Morra won't be considered even after 10 games; he won't have the match fitness and lower cap means it won't be good for him.

 

[yakamoto]

I would make three changes for next week.
1. Griffen for Sandilands, assuming that Clarke is still unavailable.
2. Crozier for Mayne. As many others have noted Mayne has become a serial momentum killer.
3. Silvagni for one of the three stooges - Suban, De Boer, Mzungu. Probably leave out Suban on the strength of his 4th quarter cluster of clangers. We desperately need Johnson back in his role of principal distributor from the back half. Hence the inclusion of another tall defender.
Including Morabito so soon is plainly a silly idea.
Three inexperienced players is probably all we can cope with in the 22. So Tucker will need to bide his time. As far as Grey goes I can't see that he adds value to the team. He looks to have the worst foot skills of any player on our list.

 

[Admiral Byng]

We could just play Ballantyne in the ruck against Goldstien and hope the rest of our blokes can shark his taps. The ruck is going to be big problem for us. Ballas can just subtly elbow him in the nuts each contest.

Agreed.

Silvagni must come in I think given Norf play Waite, Petrie and Big Boner Brown.

 

[scon]

Brady's a pro.
He'll get his kicking shit together.



i hope and believe Dear Lord.

 

[DannyTheDoorman]

Is

Interesting that I asked my barber to suggest to Ross, 2 weeks ago that Crozier is surely a better option than Mayne. He completely shut the question down. I wonder if he will change barbers...

Is that the same Melville Barber to whom you suggested to say to Ross that he needs a kicking coach. Didn't Ross tell him to tell you to write an email to Suma about it but didn't give you Suma's email address. We're you the guru that told JL of the Western Warriors how to run his team. See you on Wednesday morning .

Brady kicked better yesterday against East Perth in his tagger role. He has the strength to work in the centre square to move the ball forward and also to the outside.

 

[scon]

Tassie Devil.
Him and Moose;two of our great recruits.
But you don't survive if you can't kick.

 

[DannyTheDoorman]

Who comes out for Haze? Maybe Langdon for a short time? Nothing against Ed, but Hasleby > him at the moment.

I hear Hazelnut struggles to run out a game at Northampton so at the very least Ed Langdon can do that at AFL level. Haze couldn't run out of sight in a week. Ha ha

Sorry but who is "Moose" ? all I remember about that nickname us it belonged to Wayne Henwood when he played at South Freo and then Sydney Swans and now he is a lawyer on the AFL tribunal.

 

[scon]

Alex Pearce is the new real Moose.

Alex Pearce is the new real Moose.

Reasoning behind Nick name ? as he isn't a goose or a gosling (young goose).

 

[hoss]

Why not have de Boer or Suban replace Barlow. Their 4 kicks or whatever they got Sat night were so impressive!

Yep Ballard was delisted for that reason: couldn't kick.

 

[freo_leo29]

Sutcliffe has gone backwards a bit. His kicking used to be really good but he is prone to the odd clanger now, particularly out of our defensive 50. He is not a defender at all. He should be playing on the wing or as a running half back. He should not be playing on the Stringers and Darlings.

Johnson was getting destroyed by Darling in the first half then Sutcliffe went to him in the second and blanketed him, he has the speed to stay right on the opponent which makes the ball hard to mark anyway and he is only giving up 4-6cm against those Pavlich height talls.

Stringer would have ripped anyone to shreds in round 1 btw, our team was getting smashed in every facet and their delivery to him was brilliant.
