Changes versus Richmond

[bomberclifford]

Krak has been arguably one of our most consistently performed players, why the hell would you make him sub?

 

[*PAF]

For mine, atm Mitchell is an integral part of the team.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Amon has to be rewarded surely? 9 disposals and a goal in a quarter of footy!

I would love him to play a full game. Will probably be more effective then white (who looks injured).

THose two switching position for the game could be a good idea

Why?

 

[FallingLiefs]

The teams devoid of run. Krakeour averages 3.7 second half disposals and 67.3% TOG. 67.3%! Whether it's team offence or team defence it's obvious Krak has a fitness flaw that the rest of the team is carrying. Subbing him in allows him to come in for a quarter to a half and play offensive game breaking football through the middle that we lack without Polec. IMO it's his best position until he is AFL running capable and it really may open up our midfield run.

I would drop White for Amon but I don't think that is going to happen. White is going to stay in the team not on the basis of what he has done recently but what he may do.

Can't agree with that, krak has been our best running defender in recent weeks.

Time to stand up kenny, blind faith only gets you so far, it's time....

Before Krakouer debuted, can you recall club officials saying "Krakouer doesn't have AFL standard fitness and is a while off yet"?

I think he debuted a week or two afterwards..

 

[*PAF]

Why?

Because atm we don't have anyone ready to play his linking role to the same levels or better.

Actually, we do. If Sam Colquoun WAS to get a game Kane Mitchell's current spot in the side is exactly the spot we should be getting him to fill. In fact, i could think of any number of current fringe players I'd give it to over Mitchell, O'Shea for starters. Mitchell is too fumbly, kicks too poorly even under no pressure, misses too many easy tackles, and lacks too much in awareness to be filling a spot in the side.

Yep.

While his running ability is important, that's all he offers. He needs to develop a couple more strings to his bow.

If he learned to tag or something he'd be so much more valuable.

 

[Janus]

O'Nonymous over Mitchell? You guys must really HATE Kane.

 

[Macca19]

I support Krak the sub.

 

[PowerBaz]

nah, first omitted for me..

We aren't the coaching panel though! but he provides run...... bet you he stays..... we will know soon enough!

Amon probably needs a full game with the maggies

 

[Spadge]

Amon probably needs a full game with the maggies

bye this week..lol..

 

[DazzaTys]

Hinkley is saying only possibly 2 changes, Wines and Alipate back in. He believes we should be giving the playing group a chance to redeem themselves. From that I would suggest Mitchell and the Hoff are petty safe. Probably Amon and O'Shea to go out.

i will be pissed if this is true

redeem themselves? how about dropping players who are playing shithouse and rewarding those in the SANFL that are playing well

 

[StrappingTape]

****ing fail.

Great observation re the Krak.

Mitchell isn't perfect but he's a safer bet than Sam C ATM (IIRC there was talk of Sam spraying disposals in the SANFL the last few weeks, working hard enough but not yet finishing off well as he'd done at AFL level in the past, maybe that's a fitness thing post the knee, who knows). So if we wanted to be "brave" at selection we might drop Mitchell instead of Amon, and (maybe) sub Amon out for Krak somewhere after half time depending on circumstances.

Sounds like Wines will come in most likely for Amon (but maybe for Mitchell) either way, that should help our clearances.
Surely Bob comes in for O'Shea and that should help our bloody DE coming out of defence.

Now, about those bloody one-dimensional F50 entries... are we game to drop the Hoff, back Lobbe to ruck most of the day, Ryder to present up forward most of the day and bring in say Neade for a bit of variety?

Thought White did his hammy? No?

No you don't.

[Wargreymon90]

Paul steward seems like he deserves a shot. But what position would he be playing? I havent seen much of him this year
