Changes vs Carlton

[1954]

Out - Unsuccessful weak campaigners

In - Successful strong campaigners

 

[Janus]

Young 45% time on ground. The second lowest amount of game time, second only to White who had 35%.

Anyone keeping him in the side is a deluded zealot.

 

[Wargreymon90]

In: Westhoff in the forward line
Out: Him anywhere else. Not that he's bad in that role. But when he's the only one who can take a mark, he must stay there

 

[Portmanteau]

Out: White, S. Gray, Clurey, Young
In: Ryder, Trengove, Ah Chee, Neade

 

[Smartys Power]

In: Wingard's missus
Out: Condoms

We need 22 Wingard father-son selections.

 

[AJJPAFC]

Out: S. Gray, White, Hoon, Stewart, Young
In: Ryder, Amon, Moore, Ah Chee, Trengrove

On Notice: Jonas, Lobbe

Yep. I just hope Moore and Arch are marked as harshly by this board as Hoon, Gray, and Young have been. But I get the feeling that won't be case, even with Moore being a plodding turn over merchant who has proven he is not good enough at AFL level.

 

[Janus]

OUT: Stewart, Young, S. Gray, White, Clurey

IN: Harvey, Moore, Ah Chee, Trengove, Amon

Then drop Lobbe for Ryder when Paddy comes back. Time to build for 2016.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Out: Hoon, Young, S.Gray, Stewart, White

In: Moore, Ah Chee, Neade, Trengove, Ryder

 

[FallingLiefs]

I hate being that guy and dropping huge list of players but....

Assuming no one comes back from injury

Out: Gray, White, Stewart, Young
In: Mitchell/Moore(at this time I am undecided if Moore can play the required role), Amon, Harvey, Ah Chee

If Trengove ready, he comes in for Clurey. If Ryder ready, he comes in for Stewart (Harvey out).

 

[Janus]

Yep. I just hope Moore and Arch are marked as harshly by this board as Hoon, Gray, and Young have been. But I get the feeling that won't be case, even with Moore being a plodding turn over merchant who has proven he is not good enough at AFL level.

Hopefully m.nicholls the bald headed w***er of an umpire is found floating in the Torrens, he always screws us over

 

[philthy05]

Ryder - stewert

Trengove - clurey/jonas (this is how poor jonas has been this year , if he didn't have tickets would have been replaced already)

S.gray - ah chee/Moore

If we need an extra runner then young , or jonas out.

 

[DazzaTys]

I'd like to see Clurey stay in even if Jackson comes back in. He's been good and looks composed. What about playing him on the wings? He would certainly offer more than Stewart or gray.

We were way to small tonight. The smaller blokes were supposed to offer pressure and speed but were horrible in disposal and ability to get the ball. How many out of bounds tonight?

I Want to see the bigger bodies of Moore and Achee around the contest. I also want to see some mongrel from our forwards. As much as it pains me, I loved how Hawkins made people earn their marks inside the geelong 50.

 

[Schulzenfest]

What was wrong with Hoon? 20 touches (8 contested) in his first game for nearly two years, pretty damn good return for a guy playing his first game back from a knee reco. He was the least of our problems tonight.

Anybody who's got him down as an out clearly pencilled him in as an out on Thursday night as soon as they saw him as an in, especially since we're now down another outside midfielder with White getting injured. He definitely deserves another game.

 

[AJJPAFC]

Clever. I understand Moore is your love child, but as shown by your ever increasing tantrums you are no longer objective. So stop trying to be clever and acting like picking Moore will save our season. It won't, and if he had played every game we would still be 5 and 6. He is not Wines, Wingard, or anywhere near a top tier mid. He never will be.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Out: those who didn't give a rats' tonight

In: those who are pushing hard for the Magpies

 

[AJJPAFC]

How's Newton going this year? Last year people were banging on about him like they are about Moore now. Yet the bloke can't get a game for a team we smashed by 10 goals.

 

[ibd77]

Out 8 19 46 29 23 40 14
In 26 41 12 4 33 37 2

Could go a few more too....

These are not the winning lotto numbers

 

[PowerBaz]

Let's send all the short people to Cirque du Soleil seeing as they are in town.

It's like we don't want bigger bodies playing? This years selections are shitting me to tears.

 

[Portmanteau]

The big/small bodies question always comes up when you're losing. When you're flat footed, not engaged, reactive and not hitting contests hard, you look small. Tom Jonas is a good example (or Jake Neade, conversely, when he's up and about). Do Geelong really have such a size advantage over us? I'd argue that they are/were smarter with the use of their bodies, attacked the contest harder and were far more proactive. Cameron Guthrie isn't exactly a beast.

Hoon actually looks great, well composed and looks like he thinks, doesn't just bomb away like most of the team, he stays in. Hartlet and Lobbe horrible. Lobbe just taps to opposition all game?? Hatlett need to forget his fancy hair and play football, living on reputation for too long, should be dropped.

Well he needs to be given a chance. Aaron Young has been given ample opportunities and failed dismally. Has had a horrible season. Time for someone else.

There were some people who didn't want him in and we lost. Was an ok effort from Hoon not a snowballs hope in hell of him being dropped.

I've always been reasonable and objective when it comes to players. If Moore comes in and has two shit games in a row, he deserves to be dropped. I've never once said he'll save our season, or that he's Wines, Wingard or Russell Ebert. He's just a player on the fringe who deserves the same chances as everyone else, which is all I've ever called for.

But I am enjoying your little meltdown about him, like I have a vested interest in his fortunes.
