Changes v West Coast

Re: Who do we drop against Weagles?

IN: Hurley, Davey
OUT: Houli, Lonergan

Slattery-Pears-Fletcher
---------NLM---------
Dempsey-Hooker-Dyson (yes, Dyson. He looked good at HBF and by playing the spare man it frees him to push forward)

Re: Who do we drop against Weagles?

IMO if Davey is brought in he should be played as a back pocket. He's one of our best tacklers and has been described as the most dangerous man without the football so why not play him in the backline.

He kicked 14 goals from 20 games in 2009 as mostly a forward pocket which is pretty poor.

I think he would have smashed eddie betts last night and would be fast enough for Le cras next week.[/QUOTE

Davey can't mark. If he is a small backman they will kick to his player one on one and he will be exposed.

Atkinson to go to LeCras

Too early to start tanking, mate.

I've thought about this but there's more to defending than tackling. He'd easily be overpowered and outmarked with his body and I have no idea how he'd go under pressure to get it out of the backline. I'd trial the idea in the VFL first.

Besides from reports he wasn't that great yesterday.

LOL at the people who want to drop Houli.

He was good last night, apart from a couple of times down back. He was good.

INS: Hurley

OUTS: Lonergan


Watching the reserves yesterday, Hurley was good and will add structure to us up forward. Alwyn Davey was also good, almost best on ground (For Bendigo that is) and was good yesterday. Tyson Slattery was also really good, but will have to bide his time waiting for his chance in the seniors.

So the only change will be, Hurley in, Lonergan out.

Hurley out of the square, Williams shifted to the pocket, Gumbleton at CHF.

He was really good actually. Clean, decisive, although looked to do too much at times.

Coming off a win in the seniors and a loss in the reserves, keep it simple...

In : Hurley, (Monfries)
Out : Lonergan, (Winderlich)

As said earlier, Hocking and Lonergan can't play in the same team, and it is pretty bloody obvious now who is ahead between the two.

The thing I'm worried about with Hurley coming back in is limiting the space for Willo to run into, played a lot better last night with an open forward line. Possibly shift Gumbleton to a HFF and get him to lead up the ground a bit more like what Ryder was doing last night, Hurley at CHF, Willo out of the square again. This also allows for the resting ruckman to have more bench time and (hopefully) greater impact when on the paddock.

If Monfries is fit, he is a certain inclusion, and I'm afraid Winderlich has to come out after 3 VERY average performances by his standard.

 

[silk]

I think Hurley for one of Lonergan/Melksham/Winderlich will be the only change.

I kinda agree about the ruckmen needed to run, but it will also be worth trying to drag natanui into our forward line and try to keep him out of their forwardline.

 

[BomberTime]

Re: Who do we drop against Weagles?

Agreed we cant take hocking lonergan watson welsh and stanton to subiaco. Prismall did not look interested in the vfl and didnt look like he wanted his spot back he can stay there another few weeks. Colyer and melk did enough to keep their spot so i would leave them.
Unless there are no more mysterious bomber injuries during the week i would say lonergan will be dropped for hurley as we need him up forward and all of a sudden a forward line looks pretty good:

Reimers Gumbleton Zaharakis
Williams Hurley Ryder

Maybe even davey might come in as he looked better in the vfl match and we need his speed over at subi but i dont know who else can be dropped. Daveys inclusion would also send a message to players if they perform at vfl level after being dropped and work hard they will be considered..not like prismall

Oh, I guess I was reading it wrong. Nevermind.

Winderlich has one poor game and you want him out, get serious, he is one of our best runners and on waca we are gonna need everyone of them

 

[King Of The Hille]

Re: In's / Out's against the Eagles at Subi

IMO we need pace in the midfield, which Colyar gives us. Then we should bring in Neagle and Hurley for forwards. IMO running fast midfields and tall, strong marking forwards. Something that we havnt had for years

Im sorry but this is the stupidest thing ive ever seen you post. Are you ****ing blind? Less and less respect for you as weeks go by....

Does Matthew Lloyd and/or Scott Lucas not clasify as tall, strong marking forwards?

Slattery needs to get the **** out of the side.
In: Hurley, McVeigh
Out : Lonergan, Slattery

Would love to see Prismall and Myers back.

 

[DVD Player]

Hurley in for sure. Possibly Lonergan out? Houli played OK, but turned it over and did some horrid stuff. Monfries is out for it apparently. If Davey played well, possibly bring him in as well.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Outs: Houli, Lonergan
Ins: Hurley, Davey

Davey gets a reprieve after a good game at VFL and we go all out speed on the big Subi oval.

McVeigh gets a week off after 5 days hospital.

 

[Darealrath]

In: Hurley
Out: Lonergan/Houli

I keep changing my mind about these two. Love Lonergan's hardness and ability to play similar to Monfries when forward (though not quite as good). However with Hurley back there is one less forward spot available. Love the run Houli gave and that he can rack up the touches but he can put his teammates under pressure. I'm probably leaning towards keeping Houli.

Fletcher Pears Slattery
Dempsey Hooker Dyson
Stanton Watson Houli
Zaharakis Gumby Ryder
Williams Hurley Reimers
Hille Welsh NLM
Hocking Colyer Winderlich Melksham

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Re: In's / Out's against the Eagles at Subi

You might wanna fix that up, but I agree Houli and Winderlich were the "okay" players without a lot of impact and Welsh kept Murphy fairly quiet. If Monfries isn't okay to play then I'd keep Winderlich in the team. I don't think there's any rush for McVeigh to come back at the moment.

Sorted. Cheers

 

[Nasty Penguin]

In: Hurley, Davey (Pris)
Out: Houli, Winda.

Houli was frustrating as usual against the blues, he has the potential but just makes stupid mistakes. It's pretty hard to keep your spot in the bombers side this year with the youngin's pushin for consistant selections (Colyer, Melksham, Howlett). Under-perform at your own peril. GO BOMBERS!!!!!

Stanton Legend! you bag him out, then you come out and say

Slattery needs to get the **** out of the side.

and then to follow, after not having actually watching the reserves

Would love to see Prismall and Myers back.

I raise a glass to your stupidy Stanton Legend, cheers to you

To be honest, this is the first time I've said Winderlich shouldn't be in any of our teams. When fit, I love this bloke. But you have to admit he has been ordinary, not saying terrible, my exact words earlier were 'very average'. You'd say Monfries is a lock-in for our best 22? So if he is declared fit to play, who would you drop for him? Keep in mind team balance.

I'm only saying Winderlich should be dropped IF Monfries is fit, otherwise he stays.

Dont think Monfries is a lock in our best 22... just yet

 

[PaintItRedAndBlack]

Re: Who do we drop against Weagles?

Knights says Monfries is likely to miss again and I wouldn't want to risk McVeigh. Give them both another week off and bring them back fresh for Anzac Day.

In - Hurley
Out - Lonergan

Agree

 

[Kaan]

Monfries has been a lock for a couple seasons now IMO

****ed if i know why

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Going to have to disagree with you there on Monfries, HFF.

He offers a great marking HF target, something we've been lacking. If he were 4 inches taller, we'd be talking about him alongside Roughead and Kosi IMO.

I have watched him closely at times. and he has constantly got in the way of our KPP's. Neagle in particular.
