Changes vs Hawthorn

[keepzitreal]

IN: Fletcher, Lovett

OUT: Rama, Bradley


Id go in like this

B Fletcher Michael Slattery

HB Nash Ryder McPhee

C Dyson Watson Winderlich

HF Welsh Gumbleton MJ

F Lovett Lloyd Lucas

R Hille Peverill McVeigh

INT: Stanton, NLM, Monfries, Laycock

- Whilst Rama is inspirational, think Lovett will provide more if his right

- Think only 2 of Gumby, Bradley and Laycock should play otherwise the Hawks will run us off our feet. Thought Gumby created a lot of contests and made a difference. Bradley obviously is lacking confidence and needs to play as a forward, looked angry yesterday and Laycock has improved heaps and was very good yesterday along with Hille. Need to have both in the team so Paddy can play down back.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Gumby should play. He has a role, let him play it and get some experience.

Team balance is one thing, winning spirit is another. Why change a winning team too much?

In: Fletch
Out: Bradley.

Keep it simple

 

[danzan22]

In: Fletcher, Lovett, Houli

Out: Gumby, Keps, Dyson

 

[dohbot]

In:

Fletcher
Lovett

Out:

Bradley (He tries really hard but he is not a CHB, he will be a good CHF, just have patience)

Monfries (we are nearly fielding our best side and though he was good yesterday, WE NEED PACE !!! )

 

[BOMBERSG8]

I agree! way to destroy Keps confidence. He needs to be played as a forward and then make a decision. Bringing him in for 1 game, playing him down back is just stupid. I would like to keep him in, let Lucas play down back for a couple quarters if needed. Mcphee has been trying hard, but his disposals are getting as bad as Pev's. Give him a run in a Magoos for a game. Bring in JJ for a bit extra midfield rotation on the bigger MCG.

In
Fletcher, Johnson.

Out
Gumby, McPhee

On another note GREAT games by Nash, Slattery and MJ. Great tackling guys this was probably the difference between a win and a loss today.

Thats smart not McPhee played very well Keps didn t do alot and his disposals is ten times worse then adams

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

NLM -> Franklin

He's got the speed and athleticism to go with him.

Just needs to put some body contact on Buddy and he won't get outmarked.

I don't think that will be a problem for Nat Rat.

 

[hulld]

franklin hardly takes a contested mark

i reckon paddy will get buddy

 

[mathew ollaik]

Out: Gumby, Bradley, Dyson
In: Fletcher, Lovett, Houli

Don't think we should debut anyone this week, because we know most players fail to preform in their first game. Houli and Lovett have experience and talent. They are also fast and fit.

Houli experienced?

 

[mathew ollaik]

Houli experienced?

what i mean by that is he is more experienced then players mentioned in this thread who should come in or keep their spot. Players such as Lonergon, Reimers, Gumby and Hocking.

 

[Lovett Lover 13]

said in the paper today hird is a possible return are we hoping next week?

 

[hulld]

quinn said that he won't be risked this week

 

[GoDons]

In: Fletcher, Lovett, J. Johnson
Out: Bradley, Gumbleton, Monfries

Fletcher comes in as a staright swap for Bradley.

Lovett comes in as a member of our best side due to his dash.

JJ comes in after a great game for Bendigo and for his hard body against the likes of Mitchell and Lewis in the middle.

Gumbelton goes out due to a surplus of talls.

Monfries goes out for failing to click in the last couple of weeks an for his inability to play in the centre.

 

[BigBoPBope]

Anyone suggesting Rama gets dropped, forget it . The guy has missed 2 years of football, he hasn't been too bad for the dons the last few weeks and is due for a big one(hopefully this week against the hawks..... ).

 

[High Ryder]

JJ should stay at Bendigo, hes done. Even looks slow at VFL level.

 

[Longy413]

said in the paper today hird is a possible return are we hoping next week?

Didn't it say he is expected to return, but likely to miss 2 weeks.

Didn't make sense to me.

 

[DonMania#5]

In: Fletcher, Lovett, Hird/JJ
Out: Gumbleton, Bradley, Monfries/NLM

If Hird makes it through which is unlikely he would surely come in. If not, i would give JJ another go.

 

[Mojo]

Hey guys! I was just wondering what you think will happen this weekend? And I thought Monfries was a good player? What happened?

 

[Longy413]

Hey guys! I was just wondering what you think will happen this weekend? And I thought Monfries was a good player? What happened?

He is a good player, but he has a couple of minor flaws he needs to fix.

We have a few other kids pushing through that are performing well at Bendigo that deserve a game.

It's all part of his development.

 

[monty1104]

Anybody reckon Reimers and Hocking are a chance for a game this year? IMO they wont play unless we are out of finals contention, which is a shame, because I'd love to see both of them.

 

[Valley Spy]

In - Fletcher, Houli

Out - Bradley, Dyson

Lonergan was giving the best Anthony Rocca impersonations I've seen. Might need another week.

 

[Smyth94]

Seems a lot of people are calling for Gumbleton to be dropped just give him one more game...Its not a huge confidence booster bringing in a guy and then dropping him straight away

What's his engine like? I say let home roam free between the arcs to be the link between midfield and Lloyd/Lucas

 

[Paul Kersey]

Why was JJ in the reserves on the weekend? The games I've seen him play in the seniors this year have been ok.

Too slow...

 

[Jono B]

Too slow...

Besides do we need him? I have beens saying this a bit but we absolutely smashed Adelaide in the clearances.
