Changes V Tigers

[pOleK]

Improved performance this week by many of our players but honestly, disappointed we can't hold 4 quarters of intensity. Stats may tell otherwise but I, personally, think that Hanley needs a rest. Just isn't his damaging self as usual. As well as this, I think it's time we pursuit with our young KPD's, and in general our young players all over the ground. Season is all but over and so many times today Merrett would either leave his man, get beaten in the contest or put one of our other young defenders under large amounts of pressure. May as well blood the youth now. So for me:

In: McStay, Mathieson
Out: Merrett, Hanley

In:Matheison,McStay,Paine
Out:Hanley,Paparone,Merrett

 

[davemc_lions]

Do you give another week to Papps and Beams.. I think you need to start giving players 2-3 weeks. Tell them you have 3 weeks to show yourself.
I assume Harwood is out again.

Would not mind seeing Billy Evans get another go.
Do we say to Green your got your last chance or has he had it.

The bye will be great for some young kids although I think we have to give Schache another break maybe Crows match?

 

[hench]

"Improved performance".

Bless you.

 

[Crawb]

Would love Schache, Keays, Hipwood & Mathieson to all be a part of the Hall of Fame match in Melbourne. Help teach them some of history of the club and further embrace them as part of the club.

The Hanley bashing is ****ing outrageous

For Paps and Beams, both are still 21 and 24 and still have potential to make it at AFL standard (Paps more so than Beams). Harwood slipped my mind and as you say will most likely miss a few weeks. For him if Green is ready I'd bring him back along which would mean some reshuffling amongst some positions.

What difference does it make, with the Leppitsch game plan who the cattle on the park are won't make any difference we'll still get smashed.

 

[Milk Steak]

The Hanley bashing is ******* outrageous

It's not bashing,he was bad. A lot of schoolboy errors and his decision making and lack of defensive pressure has been quite bad most of the season. I'm not advocating dropping him for a game as punishment. I think his head's not in the game at the moment,he looks mentally abscent. I don't think his mistakes are helping as a senior player

About your usual standard of analysis. Well done.

 

[davemc_lions]

watching the live stream of the 2nds at least the play the same game plan Double the possessions more inside 50's and behind at quater time
Matthieson give it all, Skinner does not look bad. I would not rule Close out for getting a game soon.
McStay making some silly mistakes I wonder if he should play forward not back?

 

[snooplions]

Mcstay just got taken off after a heavy hit, not sure if concussed while nick robertson just got his legs taken out and is limping off. All in the space of two minutes.

 

[Ceebee]

Bell out for the season after knee surgery apparently.

bugger i thought he been ok. Up and down although been good

 

[AFLQLD]

I would like to see McStay back in. I think he develops better when forced to play at the higher level. He still has plenty to work on but I think he is at a point where it needs to happen against AFL standard opponents and not NEAFL standard.

I could accept Green coming back in although he needs to really lift when he does come in.

Looks like Harwood will be out and I think Claye Beams looked too slow today. He has a lot of work to do to make it at AFL level. Might be best if he goes back down for a while and really demonstrates he can sustain it.

Good comments. I believe in a few week runs for players too. If anything it can provide a greater sample of evidence to judge their ability, and also make it clearer to the coaching staff (and hopefully the player too) what things they need to then go back to the ressies and work on from there for an extended period after being dropped again.

This is doubly important for the younger guys to ascertain their development and potential and also for those like Beams (who may be delisted at seasons end if it can be reasonably judged his post-injury potential cannot be realised).

With all that in mind;
OUT: Harwood, Merrett, Lester, Hanley (needs a rest or a short spell it seems to get his mojo back)
IN: Evans, Paine, Green, Mathieson

If Paparone and Beams continue to play poorly over the next 2 straight games then it will be back to ressies for Paps to tidy up his game and very well may be curtains for Beams.

Out Beams omitted.. lazy and off the pace ,Lester omitted ..2 possessions before half time is just not acceptable , Jansen omitted..has size but runs at half pace, does not create opportunity or spread and 3 tackles from an inside midfielder just doesn't cut it. We get much more creativity and opportunity from Matho. Harwood injured
In Mcstay, Green, Mathieson, Hammelmann (BOG in reserves imo and developing as a future KPD) to be upgraded for Bell

Cutler Merrett Gardiner
Rich Mcstay Mayes
Paparone Rockliff Bewick
Green Walker Hanley
Taylor Schache Keays

Martin Robinson Zorko

Mathieson Hipwood Hammellmann Bastinac

Well its been pretty accurate over the last few weeks.

I can't work out why Matho isn't getting a game, I don't care if his fitness isn't where Leppa wants it, half a game from him is better than what most are delivering now. McStay needs to come back in as well.

Don't worry about him mate. Instead of giving honest opinions about how terrible our club is they would prefer to pick fights with other posters.

agree with most of this but surely Lester has a few credits? Been pretty good all year

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Assuming Cutler and Harwood are out

McStay and Green in Rich to HB

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Not too fussed with the rest but Claye cannot play ones ever again. Slow in movement and decision makeing. Just horrible and that is not harsh. Bring in hammer he has learnt it.

 

[maroon and blue]

D Merrett needs to be replaced now. He has been a great contributor for the club but playing him from now on is not the way to go. Time to find a new full back.

Thank you Nostradamus, but looking at my crystal ball it will happen this week. If not straight after the winter equinox.
