Changes vs. Adelaide

[Chris25]

In: Solomon
Out: Gilmore

Nice and easy this week.

The only other player pushing for selection would be Ruffles. While it would be good to see him get a game, the only players that could be dropped for him would be Peake or Hinkley. Peake wont get dropped, although I wouldn't be against it. While now that Hinkley is in the team, he needs to be persisted with as dropping him will destroy any confidence he has. And I think the coaches will realise that, and will finally back him in.

 

[samseenee]

NOPE!

OUT: Gilmore, Bradly, Peake, Hinkley
IN: Ruffles, Pearce, Pratt, Solly

In: Solomon
Out: Gilmore

Nice and easy this week.

Yep, agreed. As much as i'd like to drop half a dozen players, we just don't have the replacements.

 

[silverscope]

Normally i don't post in this thread just after a game but i think;


IN: Solomon, Foster, Murphy or Campbell
Out: Gilmore, Hinkley, Bradley

Thats what i think we probably happen, but even if the last one doesnt happen i think they will go with Solomon and Foster as In's

You're right Rob, just venting thru OUTs right now LOL

I actually think you're close.

Bradley to stay in, and Pearce to come back through the WAFL.

Cheers Scham.
I did like what Pearce offered in the couple of games he has played.
I read on the WAFL board Pratt had a strong game.
If Harv's is ridgy didge about rewarding WAFL performances then Pratt should be a certainty!

 

[Chris25]

Bradley was better than usual today, and he presented well in the first quarter in particular. But to replace him, we would have to bring in a tall, especially against Adelaide. And neither Murphy or Campbell deserve a recall.

Pearce hasn't played for a few weeks now, and will have to come back through the WAFL. The same goes with Walters.

Pratt played well in the WAFL, I think he had 10 tackles? But I question whether he would be needed against Adelaide, as their only small forwards are Knights and Porplyzia and both would be better defended against with a taller player, like Dodd and Broughton.

While I said it before, but Hinkley has to stay in. You have to show confidence in the young guys, if you want to get the best out of them.

Hammer. Nail. Head.

You said it mate.

Thats why Foster (who has played well the couple of games he played recently) has to come back in for Hinkley.

Pretty obvious, i know your Hinkley's buddy mate but the only reason he played was because Foster was a late omission. Unless Foster is injured and not fit for next week i expect him to come back in.

 

[samseenee]

Would Johnson be ready to come back in or will he play a WAFL game first... Hang on If Headland doesn't have to why should MJ????

 

[ImperialPurple]

FMD Gilmore has to go... and never, ever play for Fremantle again.

Hinkley needs to get more of the ball.
Bradley and Thornton need a good swift kick up the arse and told - improve your decision making or **** off.
Peake has to be reminded that at 26, and with 70 games to his name, that he's a senior player, and needs to find some consistency - or else he can **** off too.

Broughton, Ballantyne, Hill, DeBoer, Suban, Clarke, Duff...

(Schammer and Hase also - didn't stop trying all day).


So in a nutshell, I agree - Gilmore out, Solly in.


Why was Foster omitted?? Foster >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gilmore any day of the week.

 

[believe_it]

in: More young players

out: Proven shit

 

[silverscope]

Interesting Harvey in the press conference he was saying in regards to M.Johnson;


"We'll find out this week what we will do with him"

So i think maybe Johnson will be playing next week either WAFL or AFL Which is good news.

 

[Split Personality]

Out: Gilmore, Peake
In: Solly, Foster/Ruffles

You're actually serious, aren't you?

First of all, Hinkley played because he was an inclusion on Thursday. It had nothing to do with Foster being a late omission. So, I'm not too sure what you were getting at that there.

Secondly, Foster is three and a half years older than Hinkley. There comes a stage when somebody is no longer a 'young guy'.

I don't understand the logic in dropping a kid just a week after bringing him back in. I like Foster, and wouldn't mind or Ruffles coming in for Peake, but not at the expense of robbing a confidence player in Hinkley of all confidence.

Ok well i got that wrong, in regards to who came in for Foster. My mistake.

But Foster and Hinkley are very similar type players and wouldn't be suprised to see one of them in and not the other. Either Hinkley or Foster

 

[E Shed]

Out - Bradley Gilmore (forever) Hinkley, Peake
In Solomon, Foster, Ruffles, Pearce/Pratt

I would say we just compromise and bring in Foster for Peake. That way Foster and Hinkley can both play.

[Bradesmaen]

Hinkley did nothing wrong. He needs to be given the leniency that Suban has been getting, considering he's been playing worse than Hinkley at times this year.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Hinkley did nothing wrong.

You're right, he did nothing.


Out: Hinkley

In: Downy Pillows

 

[Maestro15]

How far away is Pav?

 

[the doc]

Hinkley did nothing wrong. He needs to be given the leniency that Suban has been getting, considering he's been playing worse than Hinkley at times this year.

Suban has shown heart and skills, Hinkley has shown pace and a gopd WAFL GF.

Out: Gilmore and ? Peake
In: Pav (?), Solly, what the hell give Chips a Run

Hinkley has shown skills as well... just as much if not more than Suban at times.

That sums everything up really.

I'd be careful about what you say about Suban though, past experience has taught me that people get very antsy when you say anything that could be construed as negative towards him. No matter how true it may be.
