List Mgmt. Changes vs Port

[jatz14]

What even is ah chee? He shouldn't be the target for kick outs that's for sure.

Tell Petch to follow a footballer to try and learn something.

Did anyone but Ah Chee mark one of our kick ins?

Brander confuses me. Can be so strong in the marking contest, but outside of that he pussyfoots around. Maybe he just needs to pretend everything is a marking contest. The toughness is there, it just needs to be brought out.

 

[FKASC]

It’s time.

In: Edwards

 

[Avalor]

Outs: Brander, Ah Chee, Petrucelle, Redden
Ins: Waterman, Cameron, Jones, Hutchings

Brander and Ah Chee were by most measures quite reasonable tonight, certainly not our worst. Cripps, Sheed and Redden, for example, we're far worse. JK and Hurn are sadly up against it now and have played on one year too many.
Want Cameron and Jones in as you suggested as we are not mobile enough. And move Duggan into the midfield maybe as our mids are battered.

 

[FKASC]

Need to start dropping some mids like the old days. Feels like they’ve all had a free ride since ‘18. Must feel awesome to be O’Neill, Ainsworth and Foley

 

[twinkletoes#17]

Out: Petrol

In: Cameron

Redden and Sheed need a kick up the ass too - sadly all the other mids in the wings would probably have the same amount of output. Sweet FA.

Did we kick it to anyone but him?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Snatch one of the next two, come home 2-3.

Season still salvageable if we get our heads screwed on and stop bitching about hubs

 

[jatz14]

Did we kick it to anyone but him?

Everybody in the league knows where an Eagles kick in is going. It didn't go to him, it went to the group of players he was in. He was just the only eagle that ever marked it.

 

[Coaster2012]

Outs: Brander, Ah Chee, Petrucelle, Redden
Ins: Waterman, Cameron, Jones, Hutchings

Brander was the only one that could mark the ball tonight. Why would you drop him? He should be pushed up forward if anything.

 

[amazingjoshy]

How can you guys want Brander dropped? It's he's 6th game and he's the only player on our list with the most upside at he's age, a first round selection who is playing out of position, just play him. Took some nice marks, decision making is poor, slow to get ball to boot and isn't aggressive enough but play him.

He played well for someone played totally out of position and in the worst possible conditions.

He still directly cost us 3 goals with simple skill errors. Errors that a proper wingman/midfielder wouldn't make but that a key position player in shitty conditions can well be forgiven for.

It isn't on him. Just stop playing him on the wing in slippery conditions. It's a stupid selection decision

I'd argue it doesn't help others marking it when him and Ryan fly. At least Ryan has anther role and plays it well. I just can't see how, if we think Ah Chee actually has anything to offer at the level, he's going to achieve it trying to play like he's 6 inch taller.

Alternatively, if he moved away from the contest, he'd either drag his man or ideally be free elsewhere for an easy out.

 

[WestCoast05]

OUT: Petch, JK

IN: Jarrod Cameron (if even slightly fit), Williams (Allen to forward line to replace JK)

Not sure why all the hate for Brander and Ah Chee.
Ah Chee was far from our worst.
And Brander finally showed some glimpses even although he made some shocking mistakes too (and the jogging needs to stop).
But he actually found the ball a bit this game and showed some skills at times.

Schoey needs to remain in the team - he gives an F, goes hard at it and is clearly best 22 right now.

Petruccle needs to go. And JK probably needs to go too

Bit dissappointed in Rotham as he had shown a lot in past games, barely sighted him do anything this one.
Hurn gets a reprieve for now I reckon - it's not like Rotham outshone him and made a claim for his spot.

 

[FreeTK]

Out: Petch, Ah Chee, Brander
In: Jones, Cameron, Williams.

Allen to the forwardline, Williams to the ruck. Stop playing non forwards in the forwardline. Stop playing KPF’s on the wing.

If Cameron isn’t ready, pick any old prick and stick them in the rotation. I know he’s a bit of a punchline here, but at least Ainsworth doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. Any old bastard with heart may apply.

How can you add another tall forward option with Williams?

Ins: Cameron, McGovern
Out: Pettrucelle, Hurn

 

[Mighty Eagles]

OUT:
Petruccelle, Rotham, Redden & JK (soreness)

IN:
Ainsworth, O'Neill, Cole & Williams

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Blood some kids. Had enough of watching Kennedy, Redden, Cripps and the like not contributing anything.

 

[Mighty Eagles]

Blood some kids. Had enough of watching Kennedy, Redden, Cripps and the like not contributing anything.

Even pick the ones who have been blooded but not selected like Ainsworth.

The biggest problem I noticed with Brander tonight is that he doesn't know how to weight his kicks properly particularly when kicking over a mark.
Hopefully that is something that can be rectified with adequate attention.

 

[Hell Yeoh]

Out: Petch, Ah Chee, Brander
In: Jones, Cameron, Williams.

Allen to the forwardline, Williams to the ruck. Stop playing non forwards in the forwardline. Stop playing KPF’s on the wing.

If Cameron isn’t ready, pick any old prick and stick them in the rotation. I know he’s a bit of a punchline here, but at least Ainsworth doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. Any old bastard with heart may apply.

OUT: JK, Hurn, AH Chee
IN: Waterman, Guv, Schoey
CHANGES: Allen & Brander to full forward.

Love Kennedy, but JK out. Allen plays in his role. Allen and Brander forwards. (Especially Allen. Cannot believe they waste him in the ruck so JK can (ineffectively) keep his spot). Should be a no brainer.
Hurn out - another legend, but time’s up. He’s been horrendous since half of last year.

 

[Dale Doback]

Kennedy out (soreness/dropped)
Redden out omitted
Petrucelli out omitted
Cripps out omitted
Rotham out omitted

McGovern in
Cameron in if fit
Williams to the bench backup ruck
Take your pick of Cole, Nelson, O'Neill (if fit), Ainsworth

Allen to full forward.
Brander to CHF
Let the young blokes have a go

 

[ioppolo]

In b4 too far the other way

 

[Hell Yeoh]

The big name underperformers need to be dropped. Kennedy (Definitely), Hurn (definitely), Darling (maybe one more chance).

Might scare some of the others into performing at the level we all know they are capable of.
If you’re not going to win, might as well let Brander and Waterman play and gain experience.

Only round 3 and it’s not all gloom and doom, but why does it feel Like it is??? We look so old and slow... how will we survive Port? Geelong? Full Strength Richmond? Collingwood? Impossible.

We Simply cannot win, based on present form, which is not a new thing. We have been underperforming since 2019.
A loss when effort has been put in is ok. But an elite team losing due to no/poor effort really really reallllyyyyyy hurts!

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Ins: Cameron, McGovern
Out: Pettrucelle, Hurn

Because Williams in Brander out cancels eachother.

 

[larrikin]

Let's be real. Simpson isn't dropping any of JK, Redden, Hurn, or Cripps this week.

 

[Hell Yeoh]

Let's be real. Simpson isn't dropping any of JK, Redden, Hurn, or Cripps this week.

In that case we might as well go home now. Will not win a single game.
