Changes vs Geelong?

[Mike_blues]

just wondering what u guys think on the changes for next week
if waite and setanta are right to go, who is going to make way for thornton/maybe bannister also
i cant really pick who is gonna get dropped
aswell as cloke coming bak the selectors have some troubles

IN: Thornton, Cloke, maybe bannister
Out: wiggins(like the guiy but someone has gotta give way), ???????

if waite or setanta are out it would make things easier for the selectors

 

[stokesy]

Waite will be suspended.

 

[Blueinblood]

what qaurter and what time did waite commit the incident?

 

[mightymightyblues]

In: Thornton Cloke
Out: Kreuzer (needs a week in the 2nd's) Browne

Waite won't be suspended. If Maxwell's hit on Murphy warranted just 1 week, Waite will get off with a reprimand.

 

[Charbzilla]

toughest week for the match committee.

Grigg has been consistent and deserves a place.
Pfeiffer has been vey effective and also deserves a place.
Bentick had an absolute standout performance and deserves a place.
Browne is very servicable and deserves a place.

IN:
Bannister (need his tagging ability this weekend)
Cloke
Thorton

OUT:
Hampson (bit stiff, but hierarcy of ruckmen will see him omitted)
Wiggins (upgraded for Thornton)
Edwards (Probably the harshest decision, but we bit Forward-heavy against the Cats)

 

[parrot]

No change.

Stay Out: Ackland.

 

[Blue Dimension]

In: Thornton, Bannister
Out: Wiggins, Waite (susp.)

 

[Blueinblood]

HELLO?
What stage of the match did waite dow hatever he did

 

[gandaal]

HELLO?
What stage of the match did waite dow hatever he did

He did a late hit on a Freo player late in the last quarter. Deserved a free at the time but would be a very soft suspension imo.

 

[Cruiser23]

In: Thornton, Bannister
Out: Wiggins, Waite (susp.)

I second that.

 

[Charbzilla]

Waite's aggressive hit was in the 18th minute in the 4th quarter.

Looking at the clip, i think he'll be out for a week.

So i'll change my ins and outs so that Edwards can get some valuable experience against the cats:

IN:
Bannister (replaces Wiggins)
Cloke
Thorton

OUT:
Hampson (bit stiff, but hierarcy of ruckmen will see him omitted)
Wiggins (upgraded for Thornton)
Waite (suspended for 1 week - my assumption)

 

[BlueBelle]

Tough decision but Banno and Thornton add some much needed experience down back. Hopefully Cloke comes in as well as Ottens is probably back in and we will need a big body against him.

In: Bannister, Thornton, Cloke
Out: Brown, Kreuzer, Edwards

Anybody omited is very unlucky IMO.

How bad is Carlos' injury? Perhaps he should be rested?

 

[CarltonFan]

In Thornton
Out Wiggins

waite wont get suspended imo.

 

[jonoman89]

[The Grover]

Ins:Thornton,Cloke (if not 100% fit, don't play)

Outs:Kreuzer,Wiggins


Anderson getting close to a game.

 

[dukester95]

IN: (if fully fit)
Bannister
Cloke
Thorton

OUT:
Kreuzer (7 possies and 43% eff - needs time in the Ants)
Wiggins (10 pos - 1 goal)
Browne (10 pos - 1 goal)

ROFL lololololol!!!!!!!!!!!!! omit browne! bahahaha

 

[The_JUDDERNAUT]

is the waite hit on youtube??? was he reported at the time?

 

[kouta6]

in:cloke(rotate him through the ruck and chf), thornton
out'hailpin(love the bloke but he really is not showing the improvement he promised), grigg(bit stiff to get droped but is the least needed in our team to make way for thornton)

 

[Feva]

Interesting selection policy!

Drop two of our better players from the weekend's game. Surprised you don't think we should drop Fev after kicking jst one goal.

Browne (10 pos - 1 goal)

Browne must play as he will have a job to do on one of Geelongs smaller players. Should get the job on Stokes.

i dont see how sententa was one of our better players on the weekend,
pavlich kicked 4 goals on him and he could have kicked 5 if he didnt choke infront of goal. plus carlos turned it over a few times. grigg was alright but he doesnt add much to the team we are just trying to develop him so he doesnt have to play every game this year give him a few runs in the vfl just to keep him pushing for selection and hungry to get a spot in the side.
im not sure but i think his man was mayne on the weekend so he didnt have much to cover either

One of those goals was from an ultra soft free kick before the game even started, and another was from a burst out of the middle, when Carlos didn't follow Pav in there. So really, keeping him to 4 goals considering those 2 is not a bad effort.

My changes are:

In: Cloke, Thornton
Out: Waite (Susp), Wiggins (omit)

From memory Pav kicked a couple while playing on the ball. Regardless, Setanta conceding 4 goals on one of the power forwards is a great result. Spoiled quite well and rebounded well. Had one shocking turnover late in the last quarter. Especially with Jamo out, can't afford to drop Setanta.

Dropping players to the Ants can also have the opposite affect of what you are proposing. Russell has been in and out of the team for the last few years and it has shattered his confidence. He finally keeps his post and continues to improve. What would happen to Griggs confidence if he gets dropped after having 21 touches in a winning side.

Dont change for the sake of change.
