Out: Buku Gallagher Baker Naughton English VDM

In: Busslinger Duryea Cleary Croft Smith Hynes

Things may be bad but they're not so bad that we chuck in 4 debutants all at once. That's conceding the match before we start.

At least a couple of them are worth a start but I'd rather we introduce them one at a time. Maybe two if desperate.

We'd also be hoping that Jaques comes along quickly so maybe by mid-season he's in the mix too.

 

[Bald]

Baker is likely suspended and Buku might be more "athletic" but given when he gets the ball he hugs it to his chest he isn't quick with ball nor mind

McNeil or West can try to play the defensive forward role,

VDM can't play again after another first half sub

??

If Vandermeer isn’t injured he plays. He’s in our best 10 players this year, and was subbed 3 times last year, twice early.

More give him the week off to get fully fit again

Ah, I misunderstood, apologies.

Yeah I agree - if there’s any doubt he should be given a rest, but if he’s fit he’d be in the first half of magnets I’d be putting up.

Croft had 1 disposal in the VFL. No chance he debuts.

R. English Richards Freijah
INT. L.Smith Sanders Kennedy Gags
SUB. Dolan

Our supporters are harsh on most players which has frustrated me no end.
Dolan however is getting treated better which i’m pleased with.
This kid will be a player but he is two years off
Hasn’t kicked a goal yet has laid no tackles the last two games (last week only played a quarter.
Ave 6 possessions a game and no goals and less than one tackle.
I like the kid but he isn’t ready.
Arty must be in over him.
Arty has been treated so much harsher.

 

[Libba39]

Out: Baker (susp), VDM (inj)

In: Duryea, A.Jones

As much as I think Doc is cooked he martials the backline and we need his leadership.

I’ve lost the plot and then you suggest bring Jones back for the 10th time

 

[Doggies7]

One of the reporters mentioned a few days ago that Duryea is touch and go for round 5 basically as has missed two weeks with general soreness and would return via the VFL if he's back this coming week.

 

[Doggies7]

Found it, "more likely to return via VFL"

[goodcop badcop]

Footscray had a 2nd qtr shocker as well and the majority of our players only started to play well in the 2nd half. I don't think any of our young guys are deserving of a debut just yet.

I prefer one less tall in the team, not sure it will be this week as JOD will probably play on Harris Andrews. Gardner might be the one in contention over Buss if we replace Khamis. Buss had a great 2nd half, but Gardner was more consistent.

Reckon it will be

In Gardner, Jones
Out Buku, Baker

Replacing deck chairs on the titanic here

Even though I actually wouldn’t hate Gards over Jones but Gards can’t play with Jones and Lobb

 

[my plums]

I guess you gotta give Hynes a debut in place on Vanders if he is injured? I don't know after tonight, it was a very frustrating game. Lots of passengers.

I was going to write the same changes (including JOD to defence), except Duyrea instead of Cleary. Either one for Baker is the obvious choice

I would almost prefer we send Freijah to half back to help Dale as well,

Libba/Richards/Kennedy/Harmes/Hynes/Sanders/West can all go through the mids if needed,

Looked like we lacked a lot of class down back today (Cleary also a decent user of the ball)

 

[Nomad12]

OP would make you think we're 2-10 haha dockers not easy to beat at home and besides the last 5 mins of the 2nd we looked the better side. Naughty and English are out of form but surely not getting dropped for Croft.. Some of you might have seen more of him but man in pre season he looked like a baby giraffe learning to play footy and wayyy off a debut.

Because of the amount of space Freo had when thy broke through our forward press I wouldn't be too harsh on Buku, Bramble and Baker can go back to the 2s for mine and Dolan doesn't looked ready but I can see the potential and why Bevo wants to get games into him.

Would love to see Hynes get a crack in place of Vandy.

We miss Bonts class around the midfield so bad.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Honestly, the ball is in his court at the moment.

What does this mean?

 

[BulldogMuscle]

I'd be getting games into Hynes and Buss at this point.

 

[doggy_dog]

Buss for Buku
Cleary for Baker
Arty for Dolan
Bramble to sub

Keen to see Hynes hopefully soon, need someone in the Weightman role

 

[Zeno The Great]

Out: our high press
In: some semblance of defensive system to not allow the opposition 5 unopposed goals every game

 

[Some Idiot]

As clean as Dolan is, 8 touches when given a full game isn't going to cut it.
Probably back to the sub vest depending on how things go with Vandermeer and Baker

 

[Mojorisin]

What does this mean?

I think he has a decision to make wether or not he actually wants to come back.
