Changes vs Adelaide

[Stakerz]

May as well get right into it ; big task ahead for the Magpies but we do have history over there and i'm sure the boys will be keen to get out after a 10 day break.

In: Medhurst ; Egan ; Lonie ; Buckley
Out: " " " " " " " "

Medhurst, Didak, and Cloke are going to have to kick 3 each, Rocca has a huge task playing on Rutten.


Dick may be forced out, Bryan if he gets reported for that shot on Hird if there was anything in it?

Don't really know who else.

 

[gormanisahack]

Its going to be very hard to work out who to drop if buckley meadhurst and lonie all come back in maybe licca might be available, but doubtful.
You would think that Leon could be unlucky its very tough maybe toovey and dick.

 

[WakeUpPies]

ohhh crap are we playing Adelaide this week

 

[jo172]

Wow from a crows perspective does this game seem along way away!

 

[WakeUpPies]

tough one, dont think anyone should be dropped but if anyone is going to get dropped its going to be the kids


oh yea NO EGAN, buckley isn't ready?

out: toovey, dick
in: lonie, medhurtst...

 

[Barwick17]

In: Medhurst ; Egan ; Lonie ; Buckley
Out: " " " " " " " "

Why make huge changes? Especially when Buckley most likely wont be fit, and Lonie and Egan are fringe players at best. I agree that medhurst needs to return but Egan and Lonie should have no chance

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Couldn't see many / if any changes to the side. Doubt Bucks will be taken to Adelaide, his return game will be in Melbourne.
If Medhurst is fit, he may come in for D**k, other than that can't see anyone else come in. If Lonie is fit, l think he will come back through the VFL.

 

[MarkT]

Out: Davis (for good).
In: Medhurst.
If Buckley is fit then not sure who to drop. Maybe leave Medhurst out.

 

[malteaser]

In: skill

 

[Jabso]

I agree with MarkT, except for perhaps the for good thing.

Dick is doing basically the same job as Davis anyway. Drop him to the VFL and get him to get more of the footy basically. Perhaps Egan can slot in for Toovey but I like how Toovey is playing and he offers us a good tagging option on McLeod. Perhaps if Egan plays a good game, we can slot him in instead of Medhurst. Perhaps even Meds will play for Willy.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Out: Davis (for good).
In: Medhurst.

Agree 100%

Lonie back through the VFL if fit.

 

[thaimagpie]

If it ain't broken don't fix it.

 

[sloth6]

Davis, Dick OUT

Medhurst, Goldsack IN

Egan's form doesn't warrant selection. Buckley wont be ready, Lonie through the twos.

 

[Hadders]

Saw Bucks interviewed on the pre-game show before today's game and he said that he was still some weeks away. Didn't sound like his return is going to be anytime soon.

willy have a bye this week, so any changes will have to be determined at training.
davis appears to be the only player in danger of losing his spot but even then i thought he played better up the ground and put pressure on the bombers backmen, just didn't play the game we expect of him

 

[Stakerz]

When I put all the names down I didn't mean they were all going to come in, they were just the players I thought may be available.

Buckley was suppose to be 1-2 weeks ago a few weeks back.. but apparently has had some trouble with it so who knows.

Yeah Lonie to the twos when fit.

I can see Dick getting dropped for Medders.

 

[Jabso]

Davis, Dick OUT

Medhurst, Goldsack IN

Egan's form doesn't warrant selection. Buckley wont be ready, Lonie through the twos.

Where will Goldsack fit in with Clement, O'Brien, Cox, Maxwell already in the team as tall to medium defenders? I don't think Goldsack is ready, not polished enough at this stage anyway, and not big enough to be a CHB for us in the AFL at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if Reid gets a game.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I'd would not drop Dikk. He showed more polish than last week, and he's the type of player who will gain confidence quickly.

Happy with Goldsack's form and I'm not concerned about his height because he's quick enough to play small. Besides, Cox and Maxwell look capable of moving forward. But he'll have to bide his time a little longer in the VFL.

 

[DJ Black @ White Blood]

In No one out No one. For everyone out there no one is the best player i have ever seen. We could have kicked 20 to 25 goals yesterday so why kick someone out. If we had of lost by 10 goals make changes. Bucks back first week of finals (just sick of everyone guessing when he is going to be back)

 

[Bay Pie]

Only Medders should can back in provided there's no injuries. He can and does kick straight.

Probably Dick to go back.

Neon is still providing us with something.

Don't make changes for the sake of it. That was a great win with 22 players contributing.

Jabso, please don't pigeon hole players before they have even played a game. I'm sure Goldsack has the ability to play wing, rotate through the middle and up forward.

If his form at Williamstown continues in the same vein, Malthouse can't ignore him.

 

[TheClokes]

Team to play Adelaide

B: H. Shaw - Prestigiacomo - Cox
HB: R. Shaw - Clement - O'Brien
C: Johnson - Burns - Pendlebury
HF: Didak - Cloke - Thomas
F: Davis - Rocca - Maxwell
FL: Fraser - Swan - Lockyer
INT: Medhurst - O'Bree - Toovey - Bryan

OUT: Dick
IN: Medhurst​

 

[gormanisahack]

What round is Holland available again?

 

[didaka]

Holland is back round 7

I'm gonna say 1 change

In: Medhurst
Out: Toovey (not for any other reason but I couldn't find another player)

Cox, O'Brien and Rhyce Shaw have done plenty enough to keep Lonie out of the side if he is ready. And who knows what the hell is going on the the skipper.

I don't think there is a player who played yesterday that doesn't deserve to go the SA. But Medhurst needs to play if fit because he adds a different avenue to goal, plus I can't wait to see how he handles having Didak in the side. It could make Medhurst a better player.

 

[gormanisahack]

I can't wait to see the two of them in the same side.
If Meadhurst can strike some solid form, These two are going to become a famous pair in the CFC foward line.
