Re-align with Sandy

Out: Melbourne
In: Sandringham

that doesn't make any sense...


anyone forgetting our skipper? he didn't do his hammy, was just a bit tight... should be right this week...

In: McDonald, Maric
Out: Jetta, Cheney

also if Robbo is ready, i'd bring him in for Sylvia... think he'll need one more week...
 
Don't drop Cheney next. He's done more than Bennell so far, as promising as Bennell looks.

In: McDonald, Maric
Out: Sylvia, Jetta

Dunn to tag Richo?
 
I loved Bennells game on the weekend NO WAY HE SHOULD BE DROPPED!

Jetta did enough to give himself another week in the side. But i would be happy for Maric to come in.

I say

In: McDonald
Out: Dunn

Although would be great to see Jurrah play on the big stage

i'd disagree... i think Bennell has done a better job, especially over the three weeks... while Cheney got a heap of the ball round one, Bennell has done a better job stopping their opponent winning the ball, while still getting the ball a bit themselves...
 
In - Mcdonald, Maric
Out - Sylvia, Jetta

play richo the same way the dogs did. let him have free run up field zoning around him but get Rivers on him as soon as he looks like getting near the forward 50. personally i'm more concerned about Foley and Delidio
 
Potential Ins:
Maric
McDonald
Spencer
Jurrah
Robertson
Valenti?
Whelan?

Potential Outs:
Sylvia
Jetta
PJ
Dunn
Petterd
Bennell
Cheney
Rivers - is a waste as a loose man and was beaten easily when he was on someone. Warnock - Richo, Martin - Schultz, Frawley - Reiwaldt

Maric for Jetta is the first change
I'd probably give PJ one last chance
Then I have to get McDonald in the team if he is right and Robbo if he is ready as well, Petterd could be the one to miss, unless he gets swung to the backline then Cheney/Bennell would have to go.
Sylvia and Rivers need big games.
 
In: MacDonald Maric
Out: Jetta cheney

Our side will be a lot more compettive once we have a fit robbo and ready to go Watts in the team. Also add in grimes, wheelan to add some grunt and skill into the back half.

Yeah lets drop Sylvia so we have no forward line whatsoever!! Wake up!! There are others i would drop ahead of Col, like Petterd. Probably one of, if not the worst footballers i've seen.

Whilst I think Cheney needs to drop back to Casey, until Whelan comes back we just don't have the necessary depth to lose another HB so he'll play I reckon.

Jetta, Petterd, PJ, Dunn and Sylvia would all be in the mix to drop down.

I was quite happy with Dunn's game on the weekend though, had quite a few clearances.

yes because Sylvia added lots to our forward line with his 0 goals 1 behind and no assists performance on the weekend
 
IN: Macdonald, Maric, Newton, Spencer

OUT: Sylvia, Jetta, Cheney, PJ

I normally don't like making lots of changes, but this is what I'd like to see:

Assuming Macdonald is ready, he is a given to come back. Jetta looks OK, but should make way to find form at Casey.

Maric's been blistering in the 2s, so he comes in for "Mr Potential" Sylvia. I think Colin has to prove he is desperate to play in the red and blue.

And I view Newton in a similar vein to Meesen - probably not good enough, but our forward stocks (as with rucks) are pretty deplorable so if he's ever going to get a chance to prove himself, it has to be now. Meesen did OK, so hopefully Newton can have a crack too.

Cheney is the unlucky one - he's done very well, but if Newton comes in, it will allow Petterd to go back to the HBF, which is his best position in my opinion.

Straight swap PJ-Spencer (don't think we can go with two 'mobile' ruckmen who don't have any physical presence again this week).
 
I'm interested to know why we don't play Dunn up forward. Didn't we draft him as a forward? I figured given our shite forward line he'd be some help down there, and it's not as though his role in the middle can't be taken by someone else

And you've just proved yourself to be an idiot with that comment.
 
I belive we cannot drop jetta or bennell, simply because aussie is not back yet and we need that pace from jetta and he hasnt been playing tht bad. Bennell is playing some good footy and whoever thinks he should be dropped hasnt got a clue. PJ has been terrible the last 2 weeks and maybe give spencer another go. Sylvia well wat do we do with him, I mean he had a great pre season and performs like this, needs to shape up wit casey for a week. Cheney may need some time wit casey.

Were is Rohan Bail ? This guy looked good.

I say

INS: Maric, Newton and Spencer. Would love to have Robbo and Wheels in

OUTS: Sylvia, PJ and Cheney.
 
Apparently they were saying Robbo is another 3 weeks away, I suppose it's good that they are giving him a lot of time in the VFL to get match fitness and form.

I'd be inclined to bring in both Maric and Newton so that it allows Petterd to return to playing across half back and allows Bate and Miller to play the lead up CHF role.
 
Im hoping the team looks a little like this

B Bennell Warnock Cheney

HB Frawley Rivers Bartram

C Morton Bruce Dunn

HF Davey Miller Bate

F Maric Green Jetta

R Meesen Moloney McLean

INT Jones Johnson Martin Petterd

OUT: Sylvia In: Maric
 
well according to the injury list Junior is still one week away... given this my changes would be...

In: Maric
Out: Cheney

throw Maric in the forward line, and send Ricky P down back to fill Cheney's spot...
