Preview Changes vs Adelaide

[KillaKanga]

Daw out because we look much better up forward without him. We also need to throw everything at the Crows. Bring him back for the Demons and Lions games and see if the talls can work it out.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Out: Daw, Wright, Adams
In: Grima, Wells, Thomas.

 

[Benno_900]

Is Wells ready?

Don't tease.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Out: Adams, Wright, Gibson
In: McKenzie, Harper, Thomas

These continue to make poor errors. I'd ratherwe back in the kids. If they can't cope with the pressure of Richmond at the dome, then they will melt at the Adelaide oval with the crows playing for their season.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Oh dear ... The old Melbourne mentality.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Is Wells ready?

Don't tease.

May 19th club said he was 3 - 4 weeks away, depends how he pulls up. If not, Jacobs or Harper.

The club said Wells was touch and go for the Freo game.

I'll wait until we get some concrete news before declaring him as an in. Would not rule out a run through the VFL either.

**** I hate this thread.

After watching the replay, Patch appeared to cop the full weight of of Chaplin on his left shoulder, before his head hit the ground, hope it stood up to the test, if not, out : Adams, Wright, In : Thomas, Jacobs

 

[chrissy]

Surely people don't think our form was reversed in the second half just because Majak was subbed out , we just couldn't play any worse . Majak had direct involvement in 3 of our goals , until Tarrant commands his spot back I would persist with Majak because the VFL doesn't have the game intensity that he needs to come to terms with .
Hard to decide on ins and outs before the MRP , Norths defence for the Thompson incident should be " Goodes did it " and Scotty should be good to go next week . Jacobs deserves a crack at it because his form can't be ignored .

 

[Pykie]

Patch is a gun little footballer, but when he's out of form and touch he can look like one of the spuds we had going around in the mid 00's.

He can't break a tackle, and when he's not one grabbing and getting the ball much, he is a liability.

It's a shame, because everyone knows he gives his all for the jumper, but he's had double the amount of shit games than good ones in the last 24 months.

Gibson???? Are you freaking joking

Was still in a boot on Thursday. Would think he'd be no chance for Adelaide.

Anyway, for mine

Out: Wright, Daw, Adams
In: Thomas, Grima, Jacobs.

Adams would be stiff but surely Jacobs has to play and Patch seems the most like-for-like and in so-so form.
Doing effectively Daw for Grima bothers me from a team balance POV but not sure what else we would do unless we stay with the same back 6-7 and go Daw -> Wood.

 

[RobZombie]

We need some sort of browser extension that leaves Arjen's comments intact except for the Gibson parts. He would seem like an OK poster then.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Wells is 2-3 weeks away as per coaches comments yesterday.

If Mason Wood had been fit for the last fortnight he would have debuted by now IMO.

I don't think he'll play seniors this week because there'd be question marks into the work he's done over the last couple of weeks, but I do think Maj will have a breather in the twos.

So for me, unless there are injuries/suspensions to come out of the game:

In: Lindsay, Grima
Out: Majak, Wright.

I could go either way with the Grima/Wright move. Narni could render us a bit slow because Spud has earned his spot.

I want Jacobs to play as well but LA did enough to retain his spot for mine.

We have a lot of players that fumble/ double grab that kills our momentum at crucial stages of games.

Need more one touch players.

 

[Blanket_melb]

Fact. Scott has time for Adams and loves the way he goes about it. He won't get dropped unless the injury clouds him.

Fact. Wright and anthony are both replaceable this round. Selection should be based on who can hit a target under pressure (la's case, no pressure..) and has a good defensive skillset to compliment their midfield/forward ability

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Gibson???? Are you freaking joking
.

He was awful. Again.

Has played 2 good games out of the last 6. Poor decision making and worse execution. Genuine liability. There I said it.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

lol.

Gibson is our most important runner because sometimes he is the only one.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Pfft. We are 20% fitter this year as a team & he isn't covering the ground like he was earlier in the year.

I must be watching a different game, because I thought he was terrible. Tackling has been improved in the last fortnight, but geez I'd love McKenzie to be delivering inside 50, and I'm sure the forwards would agree.

 

[Benno_900]

Gibson will not be dropped so you may as well do yourself a favour and stop with your fantasy changes.

Is there a prize for worst post of the year?

 

[the smith show]

Surprised by the lack of Jacobs in and lack of Anthony out.

 

[Winter]

Thompson and Firrito both free to play.
