A pretty decent effort by most today I thought, but:

OUT:
SIMMONDS: Did nothing today, can't find the football. Is simply passed it
RAINES: Yuk, yuk, yuk! Showed Erbert no respect and his skills were poor
BOWDEN: Unfair perhapes, but he had a pretty poor game imo.

IN:
PATTISON: Is better then Simmonds
THURSTFIELD: Need a fullback, simply as that. Moore and McGuane were mauled by Tredrea which meant Bowden had to do the job
RIEWOLDT: Simply need a bigger fullfoward to square us up. 6 goals for Coburg yesterday

Lucky: Polo (2 gutless efforts), Morton (brainfade which lost us the game)
 
at the moement simmonds for patto, maybe someone for thomson, to busy watching the game for the last quarter and a half to look at certain players.

I dont think it was Mortons brain that cost us, I think the decision was correct. How he managed to shank it the way he did I will never know. A behind at least would have kept the pressure on we would have had more of a chance to turn it over, mark or a couple scrappy ball ups game over. Is Morton good enough, really? Shows flashes but f***.
 
keep moore in the team. we need to keep a few talls in there. maybe drop polo or another small not pulling there weight.

I prefer Polo over Moore. He does his job. I'm not too bothered by his 1 mistake today. He didn't chicken out of a contest imo. Sometimes it's better to not over exert and wait for an error if you don't think you'll be able to get to a contest in time to spoil. Moore is mistaken a KPP when he isn't
 
For mine, Moore is supposed to provide far more drive off half back than he does. I've barely noticed him this year.
 
Out:
Polo - teach him that when its your turn to go you have to go.
Simmonds - Kicked first goal and did little else.
Moore - carrying a shoulder need players at 100%

In:
Riewoldt - kicked 6 should come back in.
Pattison - at least he provide something around the ground.
Thursfield - Straight swap for Moore.

we need a team balance though. i dont want him droped either but someone has to make way.
 
Out: Simmonds, Moore, Bowden, Raines
In: Pattison, Thursfield, Connors, Riewoldt
 
It looks like some post match emotion clouding the team line up for next week:eek:. Nobody interested in settling down the side? Just want blood, want changes for the sake of it?

Are you all assuming in's and outs on todays performance or are they the best for next weeks match-ups?

Essendon are a fast moving attacking game style that requires logical changes if any.

Who's to play on Lloyd, Neagle, Ryder, Watson, Lovett, Monfries, Stanton, etc...........etc...........etc...........?

You are all as bad as Wallace, playing for week to week not the big picture.:thumbsd:

Put your emotions back in the holster. We need to use the brain, not the heart:thumbsu:
 
simmo has become a clumsy old Klot out there, really struggles to contribute...Patto would have done better today, if nothing else he handles the ball cleanly...something simmo rarely does

Polo will be dropped...Mcmahon will almost definatley come in given the breakneck speed the bompbers play at

Raines and Polo back to Coburg along with Simmonds out of the team probably is the bigger picture.

Stick with Polo. He's better than Mcmahon

If you are happy to play players that are not doing anything at all weekly, then you are exactly like Wallace.

Some players DESERVE to be dropped. This is not a free ride.

This is a good post. Today was heart breaking but in the wet it was probably our best game for the season if not it was our second. Our forward line structure looked dangerous and Brown was reading the play well. Pettifer will be better next week and he looked alright today dropped a few he should have held but played his part. (I worry for him though he reminds me so much of Rory Hilton will fill gaps for the rest of the year but I think it might be his last if they are looking to freshen the place up).

I do hope that Thursfield comes in. I also think that they should persist with Polo he can definatly play needs to get himself going and I reckon would be a regular senior player now if he was learning and playing his early footy in a better team.

You would think Reiwoldt in but who for? Maybe Simmo but we need him in the ruck, on the reals.

Cant believe the Bowden hate I am hearing. Would have been a lot worse today without him. Helped get us back into it by keeping Tredrea quiet, is tough and uses it well. I dont think he deserves blame. And to say that Patto uses it well is streching the truth he is a player that is in strife unless he uses the remainder of the season to really step up. Simmonds better option even with age.
