Changes vs Freo

[melbournemartin]

name speaks for itself

Neitz - Godfrey
Whelan - Bell
Bizzell - Holland

 

[Deestroy]

Depends entirely on which of; Neitz, Whelan, Wheatley & Brown are fit. Brown would have to be unlikely and who knows about the other 3.

 

[melbournemartin]

wheatley was meant to be out for 2-3. Where is Bizzell at physically?

 

[goDees22]

Brown and Wheatley will be out, you would expect Whelan back, Neitz and Miller both trained on Friday so they should be back, id go with:

In: Neitz, Miller, Whelan
Out: Godfrey, Holland, Bell

I reckon we will have Neitz, Robbo, Holland up forward, Miller, Rivers, Carroll as the tall backs

 

[melbournemartin]

I'd go with Neitz Robbo Miller up forward with Dunn floating around on a flank and then Rivers Carroll Bizzell as tall backs.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

In. Ward, Nicholson
Out. Bate, Dunn

 

[melbournemartin]

followed by trading Jamar and Paul Johnson who then go on to be stars.

 

[Bartram_Class]

In. Ward, Nicholson
Out. Bate, Dunn

These would be the most realistic changes put up so far.

 

[Deestroy]

In. Ward, Nicholson
Out. Bate, Dunn

What no Read?

 

[Bartram_Class]

What no Read?

Ouch, forgot him didnt we?

Ins: Ward, Nicholson, Read , L.Williams
Outs: Bate, Dunn, Bartram, Green

Bartram has a spell, not tackling well enough

Green dropped for having a good game.

Williams brought back for some added toughness.

 

[davey_magik]

In seriousness, I'd have:
Out: Godfrey, Holland, Bell
In: Neitz, Miller, Whelan

Pretty much the same as everyone else, Bartram may get a run at Sandy but I think he might get one more week to stay in the side, nothing against the kid but it will really wear him out if he keeps playing AFL every week in his first year.

 

[cannons]

I think we should wait until after the Sandy game to start talking of changes.
But Neitz is a certain in. One would have to think Bell will come out too.

 

[Demon in Hell]

Out: Brown (inj) Godfrey, Holland, Bartram (needs a rest)

In: Neitz, Miller, Whelan, Bizzell or Read

 

[goal sneak]

One of Bartram or Godfrey will stay, need a tagger.

Hopefully it is Barters but i got a sinklng feeling that Godfrey will stay

 

[AllStar7]

They won't make more changes than they have to

Out: Brown, Dunn, Holland
In: Whelan, Neitz, Miller

I'd hate for them to drop Dunn, but we gotta squeeze in Neitz and Miller.
Dunn only got a game because Miller pulled up sore from training, same with Bell but he gets another game because Brown got injured.

I'm not worried though, Dunn will be back before we know it. The way Neita's body is going, probably Round 8.

 

[melbournemartin]

yeh to have neitz miller robbo and dunn all up forward seems a bit much.

 

[davy4]

I want to see jones but where could he fit ?

 

[HiHoEverybody]

I want to see jones but where could he fit ?

I think as long as Bate and Bartram and Dunn are in the side we wont see him. I hope we do soon. Hows he been going at sandy?

 

[Deestroy]

I want to see jones but where could he fit ?

Unless he has a few BOG's for Sandy in a row I can't see him getting a game anytime soon since we have Bate, Dunn & Bartram in the side at the moment.

 

[NathanCarroll41]

In: Miller, Whelan, Neitz.
Out: Brown, Holland, Jamar.
Not sure they'll play the two ruckmen against Freo, especially if Longmuir doesn't come up.
Let White do the work he enjoys for most of the game.
He thrives on that.
Bell wasn't too bad on Ablett, he kicked two of his three goals on Godfrey.
He's got the ability and needs to learn down back, with a run on the wing. Good height, a lot bigger than I remember.
Couldn't drop Dunn, very clever around the goals and used the footy very cleanly in the wet.
Next two weeks could set up the season, especially at the MCG.

 

[Deestroy]

I wouldn't drop Jamar. We need to exploit our advantage if the ruck (especially if Longmuir doesn't play) and White will need time off each quarter to remain fresh. The days of 1 ruckman at Melbourne are hopefully over.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Doubt this will happen but I'd like to see

OUT: Brown (inj), Godfrey, Holland, Jamar

IN: Whelan, Jones, Neitz, Miller

Its a toss-up whether to rest Jamar or not as I think he should play against the Hawks. But for team balance we need to drop 2 talls for Neitz & Miller. Miller can play down back with Dunn, Neitz, Robbo, Davey and 2 of Bruce/McLean/Yze/Green making up the forward line. Jones won't come in but he should be playing instead of Godfrey. But I dont think we could leave Jamar in at the expense of Jones as we would be going in too top heavy and Fremantle is a good running team (though they have decent KPP's as well). Maybe drop Bell instead of Jamar as he looks like he could use a bit more time in the 2's, though he's not too far off.

So Whelan the Wrecker for Brown, Jones for Godders, Neitz for Dutchy & Miller for Jamar or Bell.

 

[cannons]

They will keep 2 rucks hopefully, we could really dominate this area especially as Mr. Sandilands will be out, or at least should be.

 

[CowboyFromHell]

There is going to be one or two VERY stiff players this week come selection time. I think one of either Dunn or Holland will play this weekend, and I am leaning towards Holland. Nothing against Dunn, his debut was great, but Holland was fantastic down back on Friday night, and I think that means he will keep his spot. Miller, Carroll and Rivers down back, Neitz, Holland and Robbo down forward. I think we need that extra tall down forward, while having Pickett, Davey, Yze, Sylvia etc. at their feet. Holland looks better each week.

In: Whelan, Miller, Neitz
Out: Brown, Godfrey, Dunn

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Dunn had more shots on goal last Friday than Miller has had in 5 years.

I would seriously consider giving Miller a run in the VFL this week.
