Changes v. Suns - Jetta, Bennell, Weid, OMac IN

[mrmonkey]

Surely the hunt forward experiment is over. Melksham I think will be lucky same with avb. But we need to bring in forwards so might be hunt and avb out and bennell weid in and jetta for Lockhart.

I didn't mind Hunt forward when we had no one, but he's pretty much a blonde Gary Rohan. Nice and quick on the lead, but more likely to get 2 touches than 2 goals regularly.
If we played him from the square and hit him up on the lead it could work, but that's banking a lot on our mids not bombing it into the 50 like it's Dresden, 1944, and our other forwards making space for him to use.

So I guess the 9 who didn't travel are Wagner (x2), Nietschke, Hore, Petty, Preuss, Bradtke, KK, Baker?

is Hore injured?

 

[schmuttt]

is Hore injured?

Yep

Bracing for leftfield Corey Wagner out of nowhere (last flight out of Victoria, straight into the hub) to play HFF instead of Bennell

This group has been mollycoddled too long, they need need some home truths from some respected figures.

No need for the Neeld style psycho path, but need someone with a backbone who demands respect.

I'm almost convinced Ross Lyon is the best coach for this particular group, put game plan aside, I think his personality fits.

Yeh I'm starting to come around to this idea as well, he has previously taken two lists that were ready to go into grand final contenders. Also worth considering that our list was largely built by Roos to play a certain style, and Lyon was a student of Roos at Sydney. They do seem to have similar coaching philosophies, perhaps our list would largely suit him already.

It's also interesting that some players were playing much better or at least developing much quicker under Roos, good examples are Salem and Hunt. The succession plan is failing with Goodwin, so maybe Lyon is a good fit for what Roos started.

What's the point?

 

[Jamurp]

Ins: Bennell, Weideman, O.McDonald, Jetta

Outs: Tomlinson, Rivers, Hunt, Smith

Actually some decent changes thankfully. Almost nearing last call for the Weid you'd think.

 

[schmuttt]

Gold Coast are $2.15 lol

 

[00Stinger]

Only took the dickheads a month to bring the right players in

Tomlinson was very poor in the air last week. Barely got off the ground and misjudged a few contests in the air. If you're going to be that tall wingman you have to take a few grabs. Thought he's been decent enough though.

 

[TheCount]

Actually selecting clear Best 22 players, as well as playing two key forwards, and an actual key defender (or close anyway) as a key defender ...

 

[Russian Demon]

Yaaaay, deckchairs!

 

[Dory_77]

Like the changes, and somewhat confident given we've got a bit of media heat this week. Could still all go arse up and we lose by 60 and I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Bazza97]

I actually like the changes but still reckon Gold Coast will get up. Think it's quite funny though that we're favourites in the betting markets.

This is too easy, I'm throwing money on that. Rankine is debuting as well so I'll be putting him in my multi to at least get a goal.

 

[Headless]

I've heard Bennell has put on 8kg of pure muscle and completely revolutionised his inside defensive game in the last week.

Inspired non-selection leading to this.

 

[Topkent]

I don't like Omac as a player but he's better than Smith. Surely frees up Lever as well.
Jetta should always be in the team
Bennell, I'm almost disappointed I didn't get to change teams
Weid thank **** is playing. Doesn't need to kick goals just get to contests.

 

[00Stinger]

Bennell to have 24 and kick 4

Then get dropped because of defensive pressure

Saw a post on twitter that is spot on about Weid. He needs to play for the rest of the season unless injured and by the end of 2020 we either know he can play or hes on the way out.

 

[Imet Hassa]

Gone taller thankfully - rain this weekend?

 

[Daemon]

Happy with the changes. Think Rivers is stiff with others in the team performing worse and would rate him over Omac.
Very happy Weid is back and wholeheartedly agree with schmuttt above

 

[Crimson Azure]

I get the feeling the the coaches just let the fans pick the team this week. Well except for Omac.

Considering we sit 17th and failed miserably last year, maybe the fans know better?
