Opinion Changes vs Geelong

Really depends how Marshall and Rockliff pull up. I can’t see us making wholesale changes, but I’d like to see Pittard, SPP and either Neade or a ruckman brought in.
 
I think it'll be,
Out: Houston, McKenzie, Marshall, Amon
In: Pittard, Hombsch, Powell-Pepper, Barry

Houston, McKenzie contributed to a combined 3 1%ers, get out of this team and relearn to football.

Marshall concussed

Amon, your haircut is almost as bad as your attitude, you were invisible.

Selection by selection:

Out: Rockliff, In: Atley. I was prepared to cut Rocky some slack in rounds 1 and 2, but it's time to get his mind/body right at Sanfl level first. He's a liability at the moment.

Out: Houston, In: Pittard. Houston looks shot at the moment, and is slow. Pittard can offer more run and creativity.

Out: McKenzie, In: Hayes or Frampton. McKenzie was slow and didn't offer anything offensively. We can afford to lose a HBF. What we gain by having a proper ruck is allowing Dixon, Hoff and Howard to play their natural roles.

Out: Amon, In: Barry. Barry is quicker, and better defensively.

Polec on thin ice. Offers nothing defensively. Neade would be tempting for his forward pressure, but will only work if we play a proper forward structure. SPP can play Sanfl for a bit - he wasn't in good form anyway.

Agree 100% with everything you've written :thumbsu:
Would also like to see us maintain our structure and play more one-on-one contested footy.

I thought McKenzie was good, an upgrade on Houston with 91% disposal efficiency.
 
Ken's not going to make 4 changes you wallies. Not a chance.
This ruckman experiment however, is going from bad to worse.
A couple of guys coached and mentored by Brendon Lade cannot possibly be 'that bad'. Besides what we lose we gain with our original structure and system, you know, the one we trained the entire ****ing pre season with?
No more stop gaps.

Houston is a depth player, Pittard comes in for him. Dan lacks that extra split second of speed which is enough to expose you in the AFL.

We need a recognised ruckman next week!

And Pittard lacks a footy brain and can't kick which has exposed him in the AFL for his whole career but yeah, lets bring him back in. :rolleyes:
 
Why did we make 2 nothing changes last week? We were 3-0 and now we need to make wholesale changes to the team.

About 5 that need to be dropped and at least 3 who need to come in (SPP, Pittard, ruck)

Ken has categorically ruled out bring a ruck who is nowhere near ready until Ryder is back. We will continue with Howard, Westhoff, Dixon.

Because Big Billy was well beaten by Jarrad Redden and some other bloke I’ve never heard of in the SANFL yesterday.

Howard’s game today was miles better than anything that Billy Frampton is capable of.

Paul roos wanted to draft him to be a coach because of his football brain.... shrug don't give a ****.
 
Out: Mckenzie, Houston
In: Hombsch (would’ve been much better than coping 5-6 goals on him as Mckenzie did with Stewart and Stringer) and Pittard

Dont care. We are never going to win ruck but at least we can keep Westhoff, Howard , Dixon in their normal positions.

Hopefully Marshall’s OK, but if not we have to bring in one of the rucks for him. I could live with replacing Ryder with a small as we had a fairly tall side to begin with in Round 1, but if we go another tall down then it needs to be a tall coming in to replace him.

Yep, this is what I'd do. Though I might add Atley in for Rockliff just to send a big message that just because you're a big name player doesn't meant poor performances will be tolerated.

Rocky copped a calf injury in the first, became a liability but Marshall was stealing a place on the bench being concussed.

Doubt he will play next week at any level.
