[Bartram_Class]

Time for the axe one feels.

PJ, Bruce, Rivers, Sylvia could all be looking at a rest IMO.

 

[cannons]

In: Macdonald
Out: Rivers

Our defence is too tall and Macdonald played well in the VFL today whilst Rivers had the opposite effect for Melbourne.

In: Miller
Out: PJ

PJ is an absolute lemon and offers very little, and even though I'm not a big fan of Miller, it's hard to deny someone who continually excels at VFL level. He'd have a bigger impact than PJ around the ground and, to be honest, could do a similar job in the ruck as well.

In: Morton
Out: ??

Morton has to come in, we really need him in the side at the moment. I'm not sure who comes out, but there are some concerns over Bruce and Sylvia in terms of injury, so perhaps one of them will make way.

Gysberts should also be considered for selection after a string of good performances for Casey, whilst Jetta is also a possibility.

 

[Deefolt]

In Morton Out Sylvia
In Miller (found a spot, thanks cannons) Out PJ
In Macdonald Out Rivers
In Wonna Out I dont care just put the man in
In Cheney or Gysberts OUT Cameron the Bruce

More thoughts?

 

[Andy_Mac]

Wonna In Sylvia out
Morton In Bruce out
MacDonald In Rivers out
Gysberts In PJ out

FB: MacDonald, Warnock, Bartram
HB: Grimes, Frawley, Garland
C: Scully, Moloney, Morton
HF: Davey, Bate , Bennell
FF: Green, Watts, Wonna
Foll: Jamar, McDonald, McKenzie
IC: Jones, Gysberts, Hughes, Trengove

Ports goals come from their small forwards, we can not go in wth the same backline as we will be to top heavy. To that effect Jamar to go it alone with cop outs from Warnock.

[PortBrillance]

bruce did a hammy didnt he?

 

[jinny1]

yes!!! bruce injured...take him out...

Cheney, Morton, Macdonald, Wonna, Gysberts IN for injured and shit players

 

[Dez!]

Davey got a knock to the head, nothing that will keep him out next week.

In: Gysberts, Macdonald, Wonaeamirri*, Morton*

Out: Rivers, Bate (if he has stuffed his ankle), Johnson, Bruce (if he has hurt the hammy)

* Only if the other 2 don't come up

- Just use Warnock as the back-up ruckman seeing as there's no real gorilla in the Port line-up that he could play on with Tredrea going down (unless I'm missing someone).

B: Garland Warnock Macdonald
HB: Grimes Frawley Davey
C: Scully Moloney Trengove
HF: Morton Sylvia Bennell
F: Wonaeamirri Watts Green
R: Jamar Jones McDonald
Int: Hughes McKenzie Bartram Gysberts

- I see I'm not the only one who thinks Warnock could provide help in the ruck.

PJ, Bruce, Rivers, Sylvia could all be looking at a rest IMO.

PJ (should be put in Miller & Newton catagory, never to play again)
Rivers- struggled in first half, but he came good.....stays for another week.
Bruce- Thought he was one of our better players. What did he do wrong? Let me guess missed targets when nobody was moving for him.....Next time watch the game, its not his fault when every player is standing and spectating while he busts his nuts down back.
Sylvia- Ball doesn't come forward....so what can you do? not much
Bartram- Gone........In comes Morton!

Matt Warnock would also be the #1 ruckman in his own family.

Bruce is injured AFAIK, hence why I put him there.

I don't think our backline is mobile enough, especially with teams aware of our liking for the corridor and therefore when they clog up that space, we get stuck. Swap Rivers for a Macdonald and we'd be a lot better off IMO.

Sylvia better be injured, because otherwise he needs to pull his finger out, two horrid weeks in a row, not good enough from a senior player

Bartram hasn't put a foot wrong in weeks, can't see him being dropped.

 

[d33my]

Agree with BC, I couldn't see any evidence that Bartram should be dropped.

OUT Injuried; Bate, Davey, Bruce for

In; Jetta, Maric, MacDonald

DROPPED; JOHNSON, Rivers/Garland, for

IN; MILLER,Gysberts

Sylvia if injured out for Wonna.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

you would have to bring in morton for one of the injured, probably bruce and wonna or jetta for davey if he is out, id drop PJ for gysberts and bring in miller for hughes, hughes is playing well but we need more structure to our forward line, with a big marking target, unless you want to play watts as that target (which could work considering he took some solid marks today) miller needs to come in. Otherwise drop sylvia for gysberts because 47% percent disposal efficiency is not good enough for a player of his talent.

My reason for dropping hughes over watts is that it is obvious who has the better potential

 

[RPetterd15]

Out: Bruce(Inj), Sylvia, PJ, Rivers, Bate(only if inj)
In: Macdonald, Gysberts, Miller, Morton, Aussie(for Bate if inj)

I was at the match and thought Sylvia looked lazy, disinterested, he played up the ground a fair bit and apparently had nine disposals of which 7 went directly to the opposition.
PJ is too slow hasn't shown anything, can't really mark or do much with the ball.
I am not one to normally critisise Rivers but until the 3rd quarter he was atrocious. When on Kennedy we was clearly out played and even on the Q-Stick a few times he was beaten easily. Not really needed anyway against the Port Adelaide forward line.

 

[jinny1]

wow sounds like sylvia had a shocker...but come on a bit harsh to drop our best player..

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

i agree he is our best player, but he needs to be sent a message that these performances are not good enough... one way or the other

B: Garland Warnock Macdonald

F: Jetta Watts Green
R: Jamar Jones McDonald
Int: Hughes McKenzie Bartram Gysberts

IN: Morton, MacDonald, Gysberts, Jetta
Out: PJ, Rivers, Bruce Bate.

IF bate pulls up ok then Jetta doesnt come in. However i doubt they will bring back Morton this week, they will give him 1 more in the VFL so rivers will stay.

 

[Dr Opkick]

Rivers really needs to be dropped. He continues to display incredibly poor pace and an inability to play man on man. Provides zero run out of defense. Injuries have cruelled his career, which is a shame, but we don't need him ruining our chances of winning week in week out. VFL. MacDonald seems a natural replacement.

[Dez!]

Why drop Davey?

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Why drop Davey?

Reports are that he is in doubt for the next match with his injury.

 

[Pjkimber]

Why drop Davey?

Apparently injured and would rather rest him then risk him.
