Preview Changes v North Melbourne

[Matera92]

Can't believe the amount of people saying get rid of Hutchings? Why won't you allow him 50-85 games as you have allowed Shuey, Masten and Selwood to get it right?
Thats only 4-5 years surely you can have a look at him like you have at those guys who are B Graders to see where he ends up?

Seems a bit hypocritical???? Or is it that some can get time but others can't?

I thought all young players get 50+ games to see if they can play???

Which one of Masten, Kerr, Waters stays out?

 

[flamingEMBERS]

reading all these posts then looking at brad scotts face is hilarious. its like everything is sarcastic

 

[SpaceClef]

After watching the replay I wouldn't mind it if both Smith and Brennan went out, with Sheppard and Waters to play HBF.

IN: Masten and Waters
OUT: Smith and Brennan

with Sheppard and Waters to play HBF.

I've been thinking this also, even if it is not his best position he surely brings more to the table than brennan (that is, if shep is a consideration to be dropped)

 

[InTheWings]

Sincerely hope the MC does not drop Sheppard this week. Would rather him in than Brennan ATM.

 

[Dagless]

I dare say impulsive feelings are not how the mc will decide the squad.

Liked for your avvy

 

[wcesam]

I my BS avatar obvious enough? I could do another

Probably not quite clear enough but solid concept

 

[Spooky17]

I think universally agreed ins are: Kerr, Masto and Waters. The outs on the other hand, I think a few will be unlucky. Hutchy probably goes, although I thought he played pretty well on debut, considering.

 

[bodazoka]

Out: Smith, Brennan, Brown
IN: Waters, Masten, Kerr

Thats what id like to see

Out: Smith, Dalziell, Hutchings
IN: Waters, Masten, Kerr

Is probably what will happen

Cannot drop 3 defenders and only bring one in even if we play Shep in the backline. Plus Shepard is way better in the middle or forward.

Hadn't watched the game till this morning, thought one of Smiths kicks must have killed a really cute baby in the crowd the way some people were going on. He was quite ordinary though. He looks douchier than A Selwood as well when he shanks one.

Hutchings, Razzle and one of Smith or Brennan pending Waters fitness.

 

[Chris_6678]

Would rather play Adam Selwood at the moment than Smith..How come he has lost his pace? even last year he was slow compared to his 2011 season where he was pretty decent.

 

[Jarlcorbz]

How has Selwood's WAFL form been?

I thought Adam did some reasonable jobs, e.g. Ballaz in the derby, but his injury just came at the wrong time and now has to break down the door in the WAFL.

I agree and its only his pace that lets him down so maybe we play him as a mid rotation and see if he can tag again again free up Scooter?

We lack speed in the middle as it is

didn't play last week because of the state game, so i wouldn't think you guys would bring him in.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Any news on whether Waters will be right to go on Friday?

 

[hudson2006]

Would like Hutchings to get another game, but with Masto and Kerr coming back... Actually, has it been confirmed that they will be back? You'd think an "illness" would be a one week thing... hope he hasn't got glandular.

Was confirmed he had the flu and Woosh has said these players will be available: Butler, Kerr, Masten, Embley, Waters, Selwood.

Please not Selwood!

 

[Belltower]

In: masten, Sinclair and dick

Out: smith, Brennan and shuey

Tough calls need to be made.


I thought emac was BOG followed by glass. Brown was also good, no idea why he was subbed. We needed Sinclair in with his pressure and ruck work, allowing players to rotate more.

Shuey has had 2 down games, overreaction, he and masten have been quite good this year. Gaff has been our worst mid, i wouldnt drop him but he would go before shuey

 

[Belltower]

In: Kerr, Masten, Waters,

Out: Smith, Brown, Hutchings

Brown's not necessarily playing bad, but 4 talls really kills us on the rebound. Hutchings was very ordinary, probably needs more exposure, but not against North.

And Smith, I don't think i've ever watched a game where a players shortcomings have been so exposed. Directly contributed two turnover 12 point plays and his much touted asset, his speed, was lacking completely.

The funny thing was that he got to the right places quite often but absolutely balls it upped, roved well a couple of times but his composure and game awareness were lacking. That one in the 3rd was absolutely horrendous.

 

[Belltower]

Lets hope selwood doesnt come back in, brennan has done well to curtail small forwards in the last couple of weeks and his pace was handy on the rebound against the dogs

 

[Belltower]

OUT: Smith (awful), Hutchings (unlucky), Dalziell/Sheppard/Gaff

IN: Waters, Kerr, Masten

Smith get suspended which makes an easy decision easier. I don't get why people rate him. Yeah he's fast but so is Richard Tambling.
I thought Hutchings showed a bit on debut but Kerr and Masten are both better options if fit.
DDD came on for a quarter for 11 touches and a goal.
Sheppard only managed 13 touches but is a long kick and kicked two goals.
Gaff was tagged out of the game again and managed only 6 kicks. Do we give him a spell in the WAFL?

Why was Gaff handballing to priddis on the weekend, it definitely should be the other way around. Priddis
