Changes versus Richmond

[tribey]

Sammy Gray has been terrific the last few weeks...Can we upgrade re Polec...He is another wjho is performing and not getting looked at...

If he's considered as an onballer I'd pick Moore, Young, Arch and Stewart before him.

If he's considered as a small forward I'd pick Neade, Krakouer and Amon before him.

 

[AJJPAFC]

while I am mad

How the HELL did they select Oshea.....his for has been unbelievably bad.....Kens mantra , play well in sanfl and we will pick you Impey got creamed by Green and was not in good enough form to come in...Does anyone else think that Logan or even Darcy BJ would not have done a better job...and that sub last week...unbelievable

Impeys game for the Maggie's last week demanded his selection. He wasn't the worst tonight, especially considering the supply.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Butcher with 3 touches in the magoos?? You can't make this shit up. FFS, peace loving Gandhi fired more shots in his time then Butch and Mason.

 

[AJJPAFC]

Need some big strong bodies - no more wimps around the ball

In: Carlile, Wines, Moore, Ah Chee, Stewart
Out Westhoff O'Shea, Mitchell, White, Amon

Sub - Kornes. He's cooked.

Why are we dropping Amon after one week?

Mason coming back from injury but was good in 2014.

Butcher rubbish for 2 years. Bye Bye.

I'm pretty sure butch had the 3 touches to half time too. Did he get injured or is he just a really average player?

 

[Dalfino]

Out: 2011 form
In: 2014 form

because we cant drop Kornes!

 

[spookism]

Out: Mitchell, White, O'shea, Westhoff
In: Wines, Ah chee, Carlile, Stewart

Fair call. People saying Kane is still best 22 need to be sharing whatever drugs they are taking with the rest of us.

3 touches is not far off his career best performance against the Bulldogs all those years ago.

p.s. does that question even require an answer?

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Kane is not best 22 anymore, he even admits that he's struggled with form this season. He's the least of our worries though, has plenty of mates who are playing like bloated fat heads and have put the cue in the rack, obviously satisfied with last years prelim loss.

 

[ZingerB]

Anyone who watched the SANFL game is not sure if you are joking or not. He was rubbish.*

* I'd still take him over 5 or 6 guys in the AFL team though.

He would be pretty close to Magarey form atm. Has been the best performed Magpie by a mile. He is exactly the sort of guy that should come in because he is playing like his career depends on it.

 

[woffy]

Out: Mitchell, Westhoff, Jonas
In: Wines, Bobby, Moore

Week after Arch or Young for Kornes.

wtf? He has touched up 3 of the most talented players this year and was rested 1 game. Just about the best tagger in the comp still and quite frankly the best tagger of the last 10-15 years. The only difference this year is he has played like a mortal, getting 15-20 touches like every other tagger in the game instead of 25-30 like last year.

 

[PA88]

The problem is not who we are bringing up but who we have not dumped and the performances of our so called leaders.

 

[QPower]

It is not so much about individuals.

They are not playing as a team. Team trust and team structures are broken.

Whoever is in the team, they need to play as a team.

 

[Paesano]

Out: Mitchell, White, O'shea, Westhoff
In: Wines, Ah chee, Carlile, Stewart

Totally agree I would almost think of including Wingard in the mix

Monfries saved himself today

 

[Janus]

because we cant drop Kornes!

He was pretty dire. Just went through the motions making sure he didn't get injured.

 

[PowerBaz]

Can impey play as a mid? I really like his attack on the ball, he actually looks like he wants to get it....

 

[PowerBaz]

Reckon he might swing the changes this week. He looks mighty pissed off!

Didn't we do that last week! Agree though, time to axe I few

 

[tribey]

He was pretty dire. Just went through the motions making sure he didn't get injured.

Luckily we're 7-0 and can afford to carry this scenario.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I think we just have to persist with Westhoff. For better or worse, when we brought in Ryder we committed to trying to make the Lobbe/Ryder/Schulz/Westhoff structure work. Realistically we're not going to have one of those guys running around for the Magpies every week, they're all clearly in our best 22. The only way to get it firing is to have them keep playing together.

Keep in mind that with Ryder missing the pre-season and Lobbe missing the first month of the regular season, we never really got a chance to experiment with this set-up. These guys have only been playing together for three weeks. There's going to be a teething period.

Sammy Gray has been terrific the last few weeks...Can we upgrade re Polec...He is another wjho is performing and not getting looked at.

Sam Gray makes Kane Mitchell look like GAJ.

Luckily we're 7-0 and can afford to carry this scenario.

What's the alternative, drop him? Can you imagine the field day we'd all have if the 'heartless franchise' across the road dropped a 299 gamer?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

He was pretty dire. Just went through the motions making sure he didn't get injured.

What happened tonight was what I feared. He should have been rested against the WCE. 2 on 1 off. If we had done that it would be Rd 10 before he played 300. And given potential risk he would not have done that because that is Saturday night June 6th and he starts with the MFS June 9th.

Tom Rockliff - 19 touches.
