Changes v Suns

[Snarls Barkley]

Vanders can’t be brought back in just because he has been playing the same position as JJ in the 2’s. He needs to be banging down the door with quality play to even been considered. Has zero credits in the bank for mine.

I agree with this. I like a lot of his traits and am intrigued with a move to defense for him because it should suit him better. But I think he needs to show that in the VFL first.

We rushed him back last season with poor VFL form after returning from injury and absolutely stunk in the final four games.

O'Donnell keeping his place in the team....playing in the backline in JJ's place. That's my mail anyway.

I could’ve seen that coming from a mile away.

 

[Scott Tracy]

No Changes, McNeil in the 22

Classic bevo

 

[Foxman98]

We won easily and should’ve won by more why are people surprised?

 

[Ash1337]

Probably means JOD playing a defensive role to let 1 of Richards or Dale to run more with the ball out the backline.

 

[tonzdogs]

Unbelievable this bloke. Tallest team to ever play in Darwin

 

[dergert]

Reckon Cleary as the sub.

 

[jdz101]

jesus this looks like *ing hannan might get ANOTHER look as sub.

 

[Lee]

Surely this is James O’Donnell’s last chance

IN: -

OUT: J. Johannisen (injured).

 

[Doggies7]

Hannan will absolutely be the sub IMO. Would prefer Cleary but don't see it happening

 

[Cudi]

Yeah looking like Hannan sub from that lot.

 

[lachy]

Nothing wrong at all with this selection.

Cleary as the sub as reward for some good form.

Having the VFL on first Gives opportunities for players to start knocking down the door as well as game time for Bruce to get back touch

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Doggy]

Hannan will absolutely be the sub IMO. Would prefer Cleary but don't see it happening

Hannan has played some good games as sub

If he indeed is this week

 

[doggies ftw]

Ah I miss the good selection days of round 4-8, those were the days

Edit: ugh didn’t even realise Hannan was going to be sub, he’s genuinely the worst player on our list how is he anywhere near this side

 

[Some Idiot]

Joel Jeffrey recalled, we'll have to give him a bit more respect than last time

 

[Rookie]

Actually, I don't mind giving O'Donnell a chance to settle down back. Much better than injecting him forward. Could we'll keep his place if he plays okay.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

So after years of having the smallest defence in history - think 195 cm Cordy as our only tall Bevo is going with 4 x 197 cm plus defenders.

Why do we need to go from one extreme to the next?

 

[doggies ftw]

Actually, I don't mind giving O'Donnell a chance to settle down back. Much better than injecting him forward. Could we'll keep his place if he plays okay.

Same, he looks good there. But drop TOB or Gards if that’s what we want. 4 key defenders seem a bit unnecessary, especially when none of them can kick, and it’s in Darwin, and we’re playing a team with one decent forward…

Anyway shouldn’t make a difference to the result, it’s a great team on the park - hopefully we get it out of our system & stop *ing around before it actually costs us though

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Nicely balanced side. The bench is what its supposed to be and should be able to cover most contingencies across the ground.

The sub in all likelihood is going to be Hannan, but given we tend not to use them unless we really have too. I dont think it matters much if it's Hannan or Cleary. As for the other two, I doubt that even Beveridge would contemplate adding Sweet or Keath to the side.

Or would he...

Hannan is actually ok as a sub.
He is versatile and for short bursts he is usually serviceable. It's when he is in the starting side ! He tries the heroics and either gets caught or turns it over.As a burst player he just plays more instinctively. Which IMO is his go.

 

[Freshwater]

The fact that Hannan is even an emergency worries me. Surely Cleary?

Yeah fair, he’s definitely played some okay games as sub when the circumstances suit - the worst case scenario is though that with an injury he comes on early in the game and we’ve all of a sudden put out possibly the worst ground level team ever seen at AFL level in a slippery night game in Darwin

Fingers crossed if sub he only sees the ground very very late, if at all
