Changes vs Essendon

[curiousLplater]

He was good enough to be named as emergency[/B].

IMO the ball came out too easily today, and Hansen in particular offers little when the ball hits the deck. Black is also able to set up a teammate by hand or foot far better than Hansen, Tarrant and Petrie.

Nothing to do with Werribee playing FC, cripes sometimes this site is frustrating!!!!

I'm aware the Roosters had a bye. He was still selected as emergency and they would have gone with Pedersen anyway if Black couldn't have done the job.

 

[THE MOEMAN]

Im not a JMac hater by any stretch, but Mullet before he was dropped, and again today showed he is a much cleaner player with the ball in hand. Perhaps there is an issue with Mullets tank over 4 quarters, but right now Mullet > JMac in just about every other department.

Yea agree with this, Mullett seems to be a very complete player now and Macmillan still has to work on a few basic things such as positioning, strength and disposal.

Out Macmillan
In Adams

B: McMahon Thompson firrito
HB: atley grima Mullett
C: anthony cunnington bastinac
HF: boomer tarrant Adams
F: Harper Petrie Hansen
R: Goldy wells swallow
I: Gibson wright garlett
S: campbell

Maybe if we were playing a top eight side.

Anyway another week ahead.

Petrie kicks the ball to a leading forward better than 95% of the team.

 

[LT Smash]

I know you're a troll, but I'll still comment: He was poor in the first half just like the rest of the side. Came back really well in the 2nd.

Not sure if serious. Had his hands on the ball more in the first half so was certainly not poor.

Black is particularly good with his hands in close though. Our forwards were ordinary dishing it off to a running teammate today.

 

[Artichoke]

No change for me. If its not broken, don't fax it. Adams can come through the VFL like everyone else does my friends.

 

[shinboner magic]

Patch in
Flash out

Jmac sub

 

[TheKanga]

We should be able to win this, they are crippled with new injuries every week.
Fletcher might even miss this game.
We have one extra day break and they have to travel back from Adelaide.

 

[Envelopes]

Cruze and flash should not play until they stick there tackles, I have never seen so many broken tackles in a game.

If Hansen goes taz goes first. Happy with Jmac but would like Mullet playing, Jmac to the wing?

Taz has got a gap on Hansen. Robbie should be safe IMO.

lol do people just pick names out of a hat or something, some of the names in this thread are bizarre. Don't just pick player X, give a reason why, especially when it is someone who hasn't been dropped this year.

Translation: Situation as normal for a BF changes thread Tas. I just skim over the ones I completely disagree with. As you said, there's no point arguing at times.

I don't want to change anyone's mind, I just want to know what they are thinking and why. They must have some kind of justification for it, especially when you pick Bastinac who had 31 disposals, 5 inside 50s and of those 5 they resulted in 3 goal assists or Tarrant who kicked 3 goals and had 2 goal assists and has averaged 2.4 goals per game over the last 7 weeks.

There must be a reason people are throwing up these names. Perhaps I am a masochist, but I am curious why.

Adams in for Garlett. Campbell back to sub. Need to go back to our best available 21+1 for Essendon.

Some people won't be happy until we're making six changes every game. Talk of handing out debuts in must win matches is insane.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

I'd have thought if Patch is right to come back, Garlett out, Fishy as sub, Flash to get another chance to hold the ball inside our 50 with LT still missing. I'm happy to give the players who've proved so much over the really good games more chances to show the slower form of the past few weeks is - yes - an aberration.

Garlett laid 9 tackles. Most of anybody on the ground. Do you actually watch the game.

Patch will come in, he was right to go but Bon wanted to give him a rest after getting beat up a bit in recent weeks.

I am not sure if Flash has the juice to go four quarters, I would be more inclined to use him as the sub and use his pace over a shorter period of time when we need a bit of run. I think our games vs Essendon are an arm wrestle for the first 2-3 quarters but opens up a fair bit later in the game so I think tactically it will be better to use an extra inside player early and then switch to flash later in the game.

 

[scottywiper]

Patch can come in and play as the forward pocket, the Thomas role, perhaps rotating with Boomer up the field. We missed LT a lot today IMO.
Mullet unlucky to go out, Flash back to being sub. Garlett did enough after half-time I reckon.
Going to be interesting when Jack and LT are back.

 

[Juryduty]

Competitions for spots is great for this time of the year, no one can afford to be complacent.

We did miss LT, other than his antics he is a key for our defensive pressure in our forward 50. I think Adams would be a big boost, I wouldn't mind seeing us push Wright up forward from time to time, he has done some very good shut-down roles but I think he has the capability of being very damaging up forward.

We should have a flurry of ins for this game.

Should...

 

[Black Diamond]

Like it or not, Essendon have this fighting bastard quality. Injuries or not, they won't be rolling over for us, particularly if Adelaide give them a touch-up tomorrow.
