[Rusty22]

Out:sidey, ramsay
In: Broomy, seedsman

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Out: Sidey, Oxley, De Goey
In: Broomhead, Karnezis, Kennedy

 

[Boris the Contradiction]

Blair was great tonight but they were his conditions. Obviously he isn't getting dropped but I still think with a fully fit list and in good conditions, Blair isn't in the 22 imo.

I agree he isn't best 22 with a full squad but he was excellent last night. He just needs to finish off when he has the chance. Twice in the last he had a chance to ice the game and he made a meal of it.

 

[Pera]

In: Kennedy, Broomhead
Out: Ramsay, Sidebottom

We were short a midfield rotation in the last quarter and a bit so think Ramsay makes way. Oxley was impressive I thought.

Kennedy and Broomhead add that polish. Get em in regardless of the form they showed in the VFL game.

Have to disagree...8 possessions in 3 quarters, where many were stop/prop/go back touches....as calm as they may have been....wasn't enough for me. Ramsay didn't put a foot wrong. He is defensively, so solid...and if need be, allows someone like Williams to go up the ground and be damaging (v GWS last year)

Remember.. we're hitting a team next week that has the following...
Walker, Jenkins, Lynch, Lyons, Betts, Cameron, Wright and Douglas all spending large amounts of times in the forward half. We'll need Ramsay.

 

[dmoore30]

OUT:
DE GOEY - Better for him and his development playing VFL right at this moment and I feel like an older more matured campaigner would be a more effective sub and would benefit our side more.
OXLEY - We don't need that many medium sized defenders against Adelaide, I know Oxley showed great potential but Ramsey and Sinclair played particularly well tonight and warrant a spot before the Ox.
SIDEBOTTOM - injured. Unfortunate but I feel it's an opening for another player to stand up and fill his role.

IN:
BROOMHEAD - Class with the ball and has composure, I think he's played well enough to warrant a spot and I feel he's disposal will be a nice addition to our side.
GAULT - was very optimistic but I feel like Gault would be a great inclusion, not only to stretch Adelaide's defence but give Grundy a chop out while still maintaining 2 key forwards, I also think he warrants a spot for his good NAB form. I also feel that if Gault is picked there is no reason for Karnesis to get a gig.
DWYER/KENNEDY - I feel either Dwyer or Kennedy should replace De Goey as a more experienced sub. I feel they would make a greater impact and if they were to perform well enough they can prove a strong case to start the following week.

I might've been tough not to include PK and Freeman, but I feel like they need to prove that they deserve to be in the side!

 

[BEEG]

I actually think Sidebottom will play

Don't think we will make any changes Oxley and Ramsay deserve at least 2 more games

 

[ottoman]

Out: Sidebottom and someone else
In: One of Broomhead/Seedsman/Kenedy and one of Gault/PK

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Out : Sidebottom
In : Broomhead

Broomy must come in, was unlucky to miss out on the Brisbane game. Will miss Sidey big time, he looked class against the Lions, in tough conditions.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I thought Ramsey was pretty good?

Dont think they'll be in any rush to bring Freeman in. He got the wrath of Craig Mcrae on a few occasions yesterday for being selfish and not being defensive when they needed him to. I was right next one of them when Mcrae came down to the fence as and let rip. He told Mcrae that the players wont trust you if you keeping putting those efforts in.......fair to say Mcrae won't be pushing for his selection this week.

 

[frizzle]

Out: Jordan De Goey, Steele Sidebottom, Jackson Ramsay
In: Paul Seedsman, Sam Dwyer, Corey Gault

Sub: Paul Seedsman

I don't think Seedsman had a very good game in the VFL yesterday. Probably lacks match fitness. Tried to take on their big ruckman & couldn't even get around him. Plus he needs game time. Playing him as sub would be a mistake. Dwyer & Gault I agree.

 

[boxy99]

Really hope de goey stayes in. Would be stiff to get dropped after being sub

 

[Shellz]

There's no way de goey is dropped after a quarter of football.

It must be extremely difficult coming on as a sub, particularly at the beginning of a landslide, however in my opinion you've got to have a little more impact if you're going to retain your spot, even with the limited opportunities he had. He's had the elation of getting his first game and in a winning team, now send him back for 2-3 weeks to improve his craft. That way he can make way for some experienced senior players who deserve a game and can have a real impact. No need pumping games into him for the sake of it, he looks a 200 game player at this stage-patience and development is all we should be thinking about.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I woulndt be dropping De Goey. Give him the vest again.

Out Sidebottom Oxley
In Gault Broomhead

No sub ever makes an impact when they come on. You can't come on late in the 3rd and be up with the tempo of the game. I understand what your saying about rushing him in but he deserves another game. You also don't want him to loose any confidence either by dropping him

 

[EGsolomon]

in:Reid (if ready) Broomhead and Kennedy
Out Sidey(INJ) Oaxley and Ramsay

Defense: Reid, Brown,Toovey, Frost, Williams, Langdon,
Mids: Grundy, Swan, Pendels, Adams, Varcoe, De Goyey
Forward: Cloke, White, Elliot, Fas, Broomhead, Goldsack
Int: Crisp, Blair, Sinclair
Sub: Kennedy

 

[Finnishpie]

Out: Sidebottom, De Goey (sorry, didn't do much when he came on last night)
In: Dwyer (if fit), Kennedy.

Reid, if he's not injured, hasn't enough game time.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Out: Sidebottom
In: Broomhead

 

[hellfire]

I didn't really like our selections for this week, I certainly felt we were a defender or two too heavy. But the team performed beautifully.

With that said, I do think Grundy needs a chop out and we can afford to lose one half-back.

Out: Sidebottom, Ramsay (unlucky)
In: Broomhead, Gault

I'd prefer Kennedy to come in for Sidebottom given he is more of a midfielder than Broomhead, but by all reports didn't earn a call up yesterday. Under the roof I think a third tall will be ideal, particularly with how Grundy tired at the end.

I really hope we find a way to play both Witts and Grundy eventually.... They are both coming on so well.

 

[soreplums]

He told McRae or McRae told him?

 

[Ketchup]

I'm not too fussed. We need to bring in another tall.however. If we don't we will play into Adelaide's hand. They struggle at KPD stocks if we don't play 3 decent talls it'll be a huge Mistake. With 3 talls against Adelaide should be able to bank 6-7 goals minimum.

I'd bring in another midfield type for a half back as well, but as long as another tall comes in I'm happy.

Broomhead/Seedsman/Kennedy and Witts/Gault/Karnesiz in for Sidenbottom and Oxley/Ramsay.

Reckon youre right

 

[Gone Critical]

I think Gault is likely as last night we went short 1 tall because of the inclusions. PK must have also been close so should get the inside running against those who played in the VFL. So my guess is

Out Sidebottom

In Gault
