Preview Changes vs Foot/Dalgleish/Williamson (weagles)

[giantroo]

Omg No Margetts though Dalgleish and Williamson are both WA umpires.

This weeks field umpires are;
2-Nick Foot
7-Jeff Dalgleish
22-Nathan Williamson
EM: 45- Trent McPhee

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Dalgeish isn’t much better.

 

[Firestarter]

I guess the topic title needs changing.

 

[Reginald0]

This team is actually v close to my predicted 22 at the start of the year

Garner CamZ Larks Mason BB

FWD line looks fab

Shaw needs to get something out of this crew

 

[Horizons_00]

I am going to give Ahern a chance

 

[Rod Stroker]

Our team from last year that smashed them

Out: Thompson, Majak, Wright, Lmac, Turner, Hrovat, Clarke and Walker.

In: Durdin, Pittard, Polec, Zurhaar, Thomas, Larkey, Garner, Ldu.

Rat isn't out. He's playing again this year.

 

[Rod Stroker]

JMac retained. We're screwed.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Anyone else think that Ahern will have a different role this week? I.e. Forward/hb

All three of last week's umpires getting a gig again. The AFL really sending a strong message.

 

[Val Keating]

Durdin’s first “big test” - Jack Darling all to himself. Go Sam!

Reckon Durdin matches up well with him. Like it

 

[RHLK]

I really admire Turner but his mongrel is just not enough.

Will Walker, where art thou?

Had 37 when we played the eagles last year, so anything less is a failure

Pretty sure he’s done for the year.

 

[The acurate one]

Why isn’t McKay even an emergency? Wouldn’t be surprised to see him leave the club come seasons end

Because he just aint ready, some say he may never be, a tad dramatic as that might be!

 

[Only Forwards]

He extended this year then got laid low with pneumonia.

Look at you getting all fancy with things like facts.

 

[giantroo]

Rat isn't out. He's playing again this year.

I didn't say he was out of the club, just out of the squad. Just comparing the different squads.

 

[Sideburns Ahern]

Players who can’t get a game for a team sitting down the bottom end of the ladder generally don’t attract too much attention, especially when they are contracted.
If we really want to keep him, we will...
Geelong showed last year that contracts actually mean something

Why would we want to keep a player who is not even considered when all other options for his position are injured? We clearly don't rate him and would be happy to take any trade. I say good luck to Ben. He deserved a chance but we aren't giving it to him.

Mentally? That’s my biggest concern.

 

[Hojuman]

Gotta love that forward line.

Big job Durd's. Give him a bath.

McKay is playing Tarrant's role. Durdin is already in the squad, so why bring another tall?

 

[arden station]

He extended this year then got laid low with pneumonia.

(McKay) seems to have been fine for a while - was BOG or near BOG two weeks ago in the VFL.

 

[chairo]

The team is still unbalanced. But it's difficult to know what other changes would have been better in light of all our injuries.

Things could get sticky if anything happens to any of our defenders.

 

[giantroo]

Port got L.Fisher.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Reckon Durdin matches up well with him. Like it

Durds is much taller/longer reach, just as athletic and as strong as Darling.

If our mids can break even then he will be in good shape to win this match up.

 

[shintemaster]

Good changes. Stability around a few ins that need to keep developing (or maintain their worth). Big thumbs up.
