Preview Changes vs Nth Melbourne

[ABAB]

Burgess is better than Gollant, he shows very little and I don't think he makes a career.

The season is shot so why would continue to play him? He got his hand multiple times but dropped them and also flew for quite a few of them not in ideal position and brought the ball to ground.

 

[BACCS]

Anyone playing except for Ned and Smith. Yep, I even prefer Murphy over Ned at this point. Even an injured Murphy.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Anyone playing except for Ned and Smith. Yep, I even prefer Murphy over Ned at this point. Even an injured Murphy.

Pretty dire when we’d prefer to see Murphy.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Spots up for grabs you'd think. That was pretty dire.

Unfortunately when there are spots available our reserves seem to cough up their worst games possible.

I'll go Dowling <13 possessions and Pedlar <8 possessions and 0.2

Magden and Boyle 25+ each

 

[AFC979810]

Need to keep all of Hamill, Cook, Gollant, Sholl in the side. They all need to play the next 8 games.

Out: Berry (injured), McHenry (delist).

In: Crouch, Curtin

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

We had 12 players who went into tonight’s game with less than 50 AFL games. Essendon had 6 sub 50 gamers. We were happy to let Jake the Snake go, they were happy to grab him.

A few of our inexperienced players struggled tonight but a bigger problem was the poor form of a few of our experienced players.

The Future; Michalanney, Worrell, Keane, Soligo, Rachele, Hinge and Nankervis (yes, he played a shocker tonight).

I have my doubts; Borlase, Hamill, Berry, Cook and Gollant but we need to use ‘em or lose ‘em by the end of the season.

Then there are the 50+ gamers who will not be part of the future. Some are near the finish line (Smith, Sloane) and others will always be fringe players (McHenry, Sholl, Murphy, Himmelberg). We can’t drop them all but we need to use the next 17 games wisely.

Hopefully Dowling, Pedlar and Curtin will bash down the door tomorrow.

Out - Berry (inj), McHenry, Cook, Hamill

In - Crouch, Pedlar, Dowling, Curtin

 

[GI Joe]

there is a real opportunity for Peds, Dowling, Curtin playing in the 2s tomorrow to demand selection next week.
Even if they have an outstanding game, I expect the changes to be

Crouch - Berry

If you’re keeping Smith in the side, you just aren’t even watching the tripe he’s serving up week after week. A debutant would offer more.

The 4 ins are spot on, but Smith has got to go. Now. Forever.

 

[1970crow]

Berry out injured with Crouch returning is obvious. Next is Pedlar returning with him and either Ned or Sholl sharing sub and 1 spot. When are Sloane and Murphy expected back? Last I heard of Sloane was he was involved in all aspects of training but was still getting used to the goggles.

 

[George Kramer]

lol this is like shuffling chairs on the titanic

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

we need to play the players we are confident in for the future, even if their current form might not warrant.

Curtin and Perlar must come in.

Can’t believe this far into our rebuild and we are struggling to put a decent side on the park

I think borlase is ok and is quite steady and dependable. But i agree with the rest of your comments

Yep

Our rebuild strategy was only ever designed to return to competing around the bottom of the 8 as quickly as possible. That's an AFC rebuild.

I thought Hamill did a few good things defensively when under fairly severe pressure.

 

[chrisso crow]

Out: McHenry

Did anyone else notice that his team mates don't want to give him the ball? There were a few times where he was free for a handball receive and they chose to ignore him, none more so than Rachele when he kicked that goal.

It simply staggers me how the coaching staff and selection committee can keep selecting him. He offers absolutely zero.

Good job he keeps shape well otherwise he'd be an ordinary footballer

How is this group any different to Noble explaining that Wright and Mackay were performing non-statistical roles? We haven't changed one bit.

Yep

The players know

I bet they make jokes about his pre-match rev ups

Is this actually a thing?

Some impact that had last night.

 

[Carn The Texan]

1-5 and a game in Tasmania against the worst side in the comp? This has 4 point loss written all over it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The coaches would be counting down the days until we can get Sloane and Murphy back in

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

1-5 and a game in Tasmania against the worst side in the comp? This has 4 point loss written all over it.

Yep

7 goals to 1 down at quarter time

Lose by less than a kick

 

[SydCrow]

If you combined Ned's effort, Cook's athleticism, Sholl's kicking and ROB's fitness you'd have a decent player. Instead of four guys who aren't good enough.

This will be an unbearable game, I won’t be turning in
