Changes vs Hawks

Don't want to agree but Sylvia was pretty good I thought.

I gave him a vote, and aside from missing another important goal in the last term, did anything right. He's the only person I'd feel confident about in a pack marking situation to be honest.
 
Whitnall at Carlton?

IN: Jamar, Green, Bennell, Rivers.
OUT: Dunn, Petterd, Cheney, Sylvia.

Before I get shot, what has Sylvia done since his second quarter v Richmond. Potential can only take you so far and until he is willing to give his all then he can play at Casey.

Watch the game a little closer next time, he is an important link player through the middle of the ground is the best contested mark in the side, lays a lot of strong tackles and has body strength over the ball. I would say this year has been his most consistent season at the club.

Agreed, took 4 contested marks against WC which is a rareity in footy these days.
 
Sylvia has defiantly been solid; he’s becoming very important to the structure. Anyone who can kick 60m goals on the run is alright with me.

If Davey wasn’t 100% fit they wouldn’t be playing him. As suggested 70% game time is a reflection on his endurance, not fitness.

I think it will be straight forward in terms of changes Bartram and Dunn out. And if available Green and Rivers will be in, if not (as I suspect) Rivers won’t be available Bennell gets the spot. Green’s injury will really come down to him (assuming they have put screws in it) and if he has the confidence to put his head over the ball

Jamar also has a case and will probably need to come in. Last 2 weeks we were lucky that WCE and Doggies play there second ruckman as a KPF. Stef will need to run with buddy all day unless Riv does come up. So Ricky might need a “rest”.

So for me:

FB: Bennell Warnock Whelan
HB: Grimes Martin Bruce
C: Morton Moloney Davey
HF: Sylvia Miller Bate
FF: Maric Robbo Green
Foll: PJ McLean McDonald
Int: Jamar Jones Valenti Cheney

In: Jamar, Green, Bennell
Out: Bartram, Dunn, Petterd


Also glad to see Bater up and about on the weekend.

As for match ups:
Bennell go head to head on Cyril,
Stef v Buddy
Warnock v Roughead
Whelan v Williams

Hey guys, what's happen to Buckley and Bell, I thought they were in your best back 6?

Both have had their injur worries this year

Bell has been surpassed by Frawley as our med sized backmen and to a lesser extent Cheney and Bennel have passed him also.

Buckley does have genuine pace, his disposal can let him down. Grimes has filled his role as the running half back although he doesnt have his speed he is tougher at the contest more accountable and has way better skills.

Both fringe best-22 players who are getting fitness back at Casey after being injured. By all accounts both might need another week or two in the reserves before/if they come up.

PS we do have a supercoach/dreamteam forum!
 
German is pretty adamant Bell was BOG for them (despite Supers view). His stats also look alright. That said he is being trialled as an inside midfielder, so I'd want them to persist with Valenti for a while, and if Belly is still going well and Valenti is struggling then swap them. No doubt Bell's pace and tackling could be a weapon in the midfield, but if it doesn't work I think he might end up as a very good depth backman for another club! I wouldn't be surprised if he did a Farren Ray on us if we were to trade him.
 
I don't really know if we need another inside midfielder who is good "in the clinches" like Bell.

McDonald, McLean, Moloney, Valenti, Jones - do we really need Bell in there too?

I wonder if we could use his strength, attack on the ball and tackling intensity up forward, maybe release Petterd on to the HBF?

I think it depends on the way he plays. I though he might offer a bit more of an outside role considering his pace, however he seemed to get alot more handballs than kicks for Casey. He wouldnt be ahead of those on the list as well as Sylvia going into the midfield, so i dont see how he get a game.
 
Something to experiment with towards the end of the season perhaps... but you'd want his 'vision' to be a bit better than last year if he's going to be relied upon in an outside mid/forward role like that I think.

I'd contribute to the thread but I'd just be repeating AndyMac. Especially Bennell on Rioli instead of Cheney. I think he might kill Cheney on the burst and turn him inside out, but if he gets the job good luck to him...great post.:thumbsu::thumbsu:

Put Whelan on Rioli.

Depends if Green is back...... and Rivers.

I don't think that Bennell should be an instant starter. Keep Cheney and Maric in.

Dunn will go most likely.

Whelan on Rioli? I question that, will not have the pace or smarts to run with him...I am a believer in indigenous on indigenous...

Green will be a welcome return...

looking forward to this game....:thumbsu:

I am fairly certain Matty Whelan is indigenous mate
