Opinion Changes vs Geelong

[JAlexG]

Selecting a clearly physically-finished Redden for the Farrisbowl really did a number on him hey.

You just gotta scratch your head sometimes.
"You get what you deserve"

 

[ozph1870]

Ken has pretty much said in his presser we don't have a ruck ready to play

That is why he is a shithouse coach. You are supposed to build your players up and make them feel indestructible.. jack style.. not talking them down publicly in pressers etc. No wonder they may be down on confidence. Its total bs by ken.

Even if he isnt going to pick them , publicly he should be saying they are going ok knocking on the door we are just chosing a different path. Not publicly bagging them.

 

[Coobk001]

OUT :
Houston - He's gotta go, week after week of poor performances can not be ignored.
Rockliff - Injured, but also so unbelievably slow. His pace is a real issue in the role we're trying to play him.
McKenzie - Not required with Dougal down back.
Amon - He deserved a crack but **** me that was pathetic. Don't come back.

IN:
SPP
Pittard
Neade
Atley/Thomas

Must say I don't mind the Hombsch for Clurey idea either.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Think you might need to watch a replay there mate because this is completely inaccurate.

The first 2 from Stewart were and I saw 2 more when no.12 was on Stringer. So unless I got 1 other goal wrong then my mistake, but either way if you can some how say Mckenzie was passable I don’t know what game you were watching?

"You get what you deserve"

We've been selecting guys and carrying some that don't deserve to be out there for his entire reign lel I mean all clubs do to an extent but yea he should probably bottle that comment because he doesn't live by it.

 

[*PAF]

Barry has to come back in.

 

[Power Raid]

It's not just about the ruck. It's about WHO we are playing in the ruck to stop gap.
We are playing Dixon, Westhoff and Howard, literally the majority of our spine, completely out of position.

100%

playing howard is ludicrous, especially if we are doing nothing but absorbing pressure in the first quarter

 

[Power Raid]

Barry has to come back in.

yep

we need speed

 

[*PAF]

yep

we need speed

Motlop and Sam Gray had to play their game plus cover the work that Barry has been doing today. It didn't work.

 

[PAFC66]

Ken will keep Amon in 18 disposals and all effective basically. Unfortunately thats all he looks at.. forget that his defensive game was non existent.

 

[1954]

Surely Clurey and Houston can't survive the cut next week, and assuming they pulled up ok from yesterday Hombsch and Pittard should be certainties.

If Marshall was concussed he should be rested, and injury has to be the only reason Rockliff wouldn't be rested, as opposed to being dropped.

As for the Amons, Neades, Barrys, and McKenzies etc, to me changes there are once again akin to moving the deck chairs on the Titanic, they are in the group of fringe players who will change places on a regular basis.

 

[HighBudget]

Out: Houston, Amon, Mckenzie
In: Hombsch, SPP, Frampton

 

[PatientMental]

Out: Houston, Amon, Mckenzie
In: Hombsch, SPP, Frampton

That's optimistic.

Rockliff out with a calf, but also needs a serious talking to, form no where near good enough at the moment

Until Ryder is back, Dixon needs to ruck full time. He is having little impact up forward and he looks his best and the team generally looks the best when he rucks. (knowing this is fair to say Hinkley wont do it)

If Marshall doesn't recover that leaves a big whole up forward.

Must say I don't mind the Hombsch for Clurey idea either.

Agree with it all. Atley over Thomas though and i feel clurey has enough credit in the bank for another chance, hombsch is very close though.

 

[RangaInTeal]

If we don’t don’t have a Ruckman ready, Ruck Dixon and Play Frampton forward

 

[scottjr]

Not that certain SPP comes straight back in. Would have dropped him before we suspended him. Wouldn't mind him playing an sanfl game before he comes back. Atley possibly been consistent enough for long enough to deserve a run. Rocky one last chance.

Karlos. Was never a fan Jasper is pretty straight forward there.

The back 6 are more important than the front 6. Aways has been always will be. Don't **** that up by taking Doogy out of it as ruck. Charles can ruck and should ruck. It's just a another couple of weeks.

* We didn't want D. Menzel did we? Did we have him confused with his brother?

 

[philthy05]

I have no idea how anyone can use the argument “but he will get killed in the ruck” when Frampton being called up is mentioned


Have these people seen what our makeshift rucks have dished up?

Frampton could have been wheeled into the centre on a trolley like Hannibal lector and the sheer fact Dougal would have been back would have been an improvement.

 

[PA88]

I'd like to see Leinart in.

Nobody else deserves a go from the Magpies. Apart from Atley.

 

[HighBudget]

That's optimistic.

If not Frampton then put Pittard for Mckenzie

 

[jdeezy]

If we're not going to play a ruck, which we won't, then we absolutely must not mess with our backline structure at least. Doogs has to go back.

Surely Watts can pinch hit in the ruck too? Dicko first ruck, Watts and Hoff to give him a chopout.

Other changes should be Houston (needs a spell) for Pittard, Amon (not sure why he came in) back out for Barry and McKenzie out for Atley for team balance.



.... it'll be out: Amon, in: Neade though. We all know it.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Not sure I care who comes in or out. Same issues are persisting. We'll beat Geelong but nothing will change.

 

[Powerstufff]

I'd normally say (and have done so recently) that there'd be no point in dropping Rockliff as he'll learn nothing in the SANFL and if anything it'll take away from him finding his spot in the AFL side. But one touch in the last half is deplorable.

I also said we can cover Rockliff until he picks up. But no, that was 2 games ago and his last 2 games have been nonsense.

 

[PAFC66]

What I'd like to see

IN - Frampton, SPP, Pittard , Barry
Out - Houston, Amon , Rockcliff, McKenzie

What we will see.

IN - SPP
OUT - Amon.

 

[PAFC66]

Not sure I care who comes in or out. Same issues are persisting. We'll beat Geelong but nothing will change.

Beating Geelong is a change... We have done that once since 2007 GF. Thats optimistic. I cant see us getting close.
