Changes V Richmond

[cats2rise]

Alot of this will depend on training throughout the week with Chapman etc.

The VFL team has the bye this week, but I was hoping to see how Lonergon and Gamble went to see if they were close to selection.

At the moment, I would have Chapman in... Byrnes out maybe?

 

[MmkMrMackie]

King in, Blake out.

 

[FTW_]

King in, Blake out.

Billy Brownless just said on the Sunday Footy show that King will get a game before the end of the season and Blake would probably be dropped to make way for him.

Now is probably the best time to bring King in.

 

[cats2rise]

He also said Byrnes may go for Chappers.

Don't think Lonergan could be picked as he was chucked back on the rookie list wasn't he?

 

[Rustybugles]

He also said Byrnes may go for Chappers.

Billy is easily manipulated by Tony "Clackers" and others on this show to say what they want to hear - he has withdrawn statements made here many times. However, this seems a possibility.

 

[JUBJUB]

IN : Chappy
OUT : Byrnes [forever]

No other changes

Yes you are right. Sorry I had a blank their for a second.

 

[Prismall32]

They'll have to bring King back in soon - since he'll be playing finals. Just hope he's fit. Feel sorry for Blake in that case but that's footy. I hope they don't rush Chappy back too soon - we should be able to do the Tiges while he recovers.

 

[MrGFC]

Yep, right on the money..

Giving away a 50mtr was stupid and costly and proves he's still a problem for the selection team.

Will expect to see Travis back soon, although this will depend on how he is going in the magoos I guess.

I'm still not convinced that Byrnes s the right choice...

 

[cats2rise]

That 50m was bloody soft though. Shouldn't have been 50.

If they really want King back in the team, the game vs Richmond is the game to do it I think.

I'd hate to say it, but it was a fair 50m penalty. The rules are that if you aren't in the contest you can't hang on, Monty did that and he was penalised.

The frustrating part of this is that it is up to the umps discretion, therefore at other times during the game when the exact same thing happened, no call was made.

I posted on another thread something re this discussion on radio - this is exactly what they said - and that it was typical of much of the over-umpiring we see. Too many soft 50m penalties - did not affect our outcome but trivial and pedantic, they believed. Tend to agree - didn't deserve more than a warning. "Don't be silly, Shannon!" or some other pathetic kindergarten advice.

good 2 c people have finally realised shazza byrnes is a spazzy. cant kick, and has no football brain, give us travvy varcoe back!

 

[year of the cat]

I would make 2 changes -

In: King, Chapman

Out: Mooney, Selwood

Give Mooney and Selwood a break to freshen up. Pendelbury is out for a month injured so Selwood should be able to take a week off and come back in and still win the Rising Star award.

Otherwise get rid of Byrnes if Selwood is still deemed to be fine.

 

[CF]

shannon has played 5 games this year and averages 14 disposals per game and 4.4 tackles per game.

Travis has played 13 games this year and averages 7 disposals per game and 3.5 tackles per game.

At this stage Shannon is a depth player and if we are unlucky enought o get a couple of injuries in the next 5 weeks he probably will be playing finals.

You forgot to add: Grade 4, Ocean Grove Primary.

 

[Linx]

King for Blake
Chapman for Brynes

 

[Mr.Chicken]

these should be the changes methinks:

King in, Blake out
Chapman, Byrnes out

Byrnes might be spared if Chapman doesnt come up from injury but I think Chappers will be fine and no.17 will go back to the VFL where he belongs.

players don't need a week to freshen up unless they are carrying an injury, otherwise a week of can be a big negative. Don't rest players, this isn't the aussie cricket team...

Thank heavens for a voice of reason, reading this thread you'd think Varcoe was streets ahead of Byrnes which simply isn't the case; seems like when some people get a player in the gun they'll just keep bagging him no matter what.

While he [ Byrnes ] will struggle to hold his spot if/when we have a full list to choose from, the fact is that at the moment he's highly unlikely to be replaced by Travis unless he lifts his form considerably in the reserves in the coming weeks.


Chapman in of course if fit, possibly for Mackie if he doesn't come up from the knock to the leg he received, otherwise D Johnson or possibly Byrnes, with N Ablett being an outside chance as well.

Ditto.

I just wish Blake could've tested himself against a stronger rucking 'opponent' than Gilmore. And omitting Byrnes when Varcoe's already out leaves only one forward who's guaranteed to pressure: Stokes. Mooney, Johnno, NAB and Chappy aren't the most enthusiastic chasers, they need inspiration.

Speaking of Stokesy, it was great to see another player join Stevo's Scrotum club. That makes 6.

 

[foxdog50]

Byrnes is good!!! Better than all of us, were not the ones who playing AFL....

Say what? Did he give SJ a feel or something?

No, no, no, no, NO, Finrod!!
