Prediction Changes VS Pitt Lane and Pole Position & NMFC

[WHOME]

If Bonner played that exact same game in a loss I think we would be demanding his head on a platter. Terrible below his knees and that htb caused my remote control to meet an unfortunate end. Zero awareness, has to go for Lienert.

I’m wondering if Robbie is playing injured

He hurt his shoulder vs Brisbane two weeks ago and has had two below average games in a row

 

[Leaveit2charlie]

Leinert for Bonner.
We look better with Leinert in.

 

[Leaveit2charlie]

How bad is out Robbie Gray and in Amon?


(Sorry I just wanted to post this so I can print this out, take it back in time and give it to myself two months ago)

Think Robbies only problem is Rozee has claimed his turf.

Yea he's playing with pain he gets the jab most games from what I've heard.

 

[MrChow]

Against Norf - don’t think we need to change anything, they are campaigners...

Must win inside ball otherwise Polec beats any of our wingers.

 

[Interstater]

No change, as long as that also applies to our attitude also.

The Richmond game needs to be a warning to us for longer than one week.

Zero, or very minimal time through the middle is telling....

I’m really not sure what Bonner people were watching. Apart from the holding the ball incident in defensive 50 (I’ve always maintained that just like Byrne-Jones he’s s**t at actual defence and needs to push up the ground), these were his stats:

20 disposals at 80% DE, 11 pressure acts, 5 contested possessions, 5 inside 50s, 5 intercept marks and 4 score involvements

The best game I’ve seen him play in his career, because it was built on solid defensive work.

Yep, I agree with most posters who want one change - Leinert for Bonner. As for Robbie, does he need a week or two off? If so, rest him against the Roos & Pies and then bring him back for the Showdown. Replacement? Farrell or Trengove (the latter as a reward for his sanfl form) Amon??

 

[pastmyprimus]

Motlop's drop-off in form has come at a bad time for him. He won't be returning this week

 

[nadsee]

Would like to see Trengove replace Bonner, for at least 2 games. Bonner is burning the ball on to many occasions.

 

[Premiers04]

Unchanged for mine but wouldn't be against.

Leinert for Bonner
Giving Robbie a rest for Farrell or Amon

For me he set the tone early by not attacking the contest strongly and just hovering about. When I look at the replay I'll keep a closer eye on him and see if my opinion changes. If not: Bonner out, Lienert in.

I thought Bonner had a good game. He made one mistake HTB. Ken wont drop him.

Robbie did have lacklustre game. I reckon we carry him next week, and rest him after that if needed

 

[nadsee]

Do we give Drew a spell and bring in Trengove?

He didn’t play bad, but all the kids will be rested at some point during the year, happened to SPP in 2016, vs Collingwood if I recall correctly

NAH, Drew stays as long as possible. Would play him on Cunnington this week, who is a genuine hard nut, part of the learning....

 

[Portmanteau]

Planting my flag right now. I’ll never believe Robbie is incapable of tearing a game apart until he pulls up stumps for good. He might do it less frequently from now on, but he still has a match winning performance in his back pocket for us. Don’t count him out.

 

[dav3]

We just won a game we shouldn't have won by playing great team football, how about we not f**k with the side and see what happens?

1 tackle. There were some weak efforts and it’s happened not just last night but over the last few games.

I think he started well and I agree with you that he looks better up the ground, but if he’s gonna be played in defence then he needs to stick those tackles and make them hurt.

Same I believe it’s still in there but I don’t think we’ll see it if he is in fact playing injured. If that’s the case let him rest and bring in Farrell.

 

[Forzaport]

In: Amon
Out: Bonner

Burton on notice.

I’m not a fan of unchanged. If we can make our team better, we do it.

 

[Interstater]

Anyone thinking of giving Gray a rest needs to consider that may mean the oppositions best small defender goes to Rozee.

 

[LP7_]

A great win in the west against the reigning premiers, so naturally we’ll make 4 or 5 unforced changes.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Things I'd Never Thought I'd See on BigFooty #37: Robbie (out), Amon (in)

Unchanged.
