Opinion Changes vs Gold Coast

Harsh... He's been a lot better at his intensity this year. Particularly earlier on. What a wonderfully supportive post on a former top draft pick at your club. The secret to success is backing each other in not tearing each other apart.

If he was reading these forums he'd have been carted off to the mental hospital well before now.

Garland needs to be dropped, playing some ordinary football at the moment and about time Lucas Cook got a go.

Dropping an experienced leadership group player slightly down on form, for a physically unready and currently underperforming kid playing in the VFL?

Bit harsh on Nicho, that was probably his lowest possession effort for the season - I think the majority of his games have been around the 20 mark.

Perhaps slightly harsh - but if he's going to survive as an AFL mid on 20 possies a game he would want to be pretty damaging.

I thought he was playing as a winger/running back rather than a mid? 20 possies isn't too bad for that role, especially given his age and how most of the team struggles to get to 20 possies. I certainly hope he improves on that as his run can be very damaging (although his disposal is a bit iffy) but I think he's safe for now.

Dunn kept Thomas quiet so how could he be considered to be dropped?

Dunn seems to always be the in the gun according to many people on this forum. I think Dunn has performed fairly well this season and certainly doesn't deserve to be dropped. Similarly Sellar always seems to be one of the first names mentioned in the outs. Not sure if these people watched the game or are just reeling off names of players who aren't rated as highly as some others.

Having said that if there were in form replacements it might be a different story but I'd drop half the list before I got to Dunn.

Going by the Casey players reviews, Couch and Gysberts would be most likely to come up from the VFL.

Saw most of the Casey game and thought that Couch (especially) and Gysberts were both good. Also liked the way Fitzpatrick moves up forward and he certainly got alot of hitouts. Morton got touches too, but didn't have much impact on the game except for that chest mark he dropped in the centre circle which led to a Frangers goal

 

[Dez!]

Can we at least put Garland in the backline before we drop him?

In: Watts, Gysberts, Fitzpatrick
Out: MacDonald, Jetta, Spencer

Strauss in the 21 and Dunn as sub.

Annoying that Tapscott seemingly didn't have a great game on the weekend, as he would be a logical replacement for one of Nicholson and Jetta (and Dunn too for that matter). May still come in anyway.

 

[Captain Jack]

6:25pm Thursday teams can GAGF.

I did that Best 22 thing (procrastinating to the max) despite the fact that 'Best' should not be used in any way to describe this group of players. Watts, Gysberts, Tapscott, Couch in for Joel Macdonald, Jetta, Nicholson and Dunn.

Surely we've had our Mystery Injury Of The Week already with Nicho a confirmed out. Please please please let Watts be ready to go.

Wow. Martin is injury of the week. We're gonna lose... I am leaving the country!
