Changes vs St Kilda

[dave_27]

Hurley is one player I'd like to come in but Hooker would be very stiff to be dropped.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

No changes this week. Give Hurley another week to get 100%

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Ins: Hurley or Daniher, Jetta if fit
Outs: Myers, Zaka (rest)

Hurley or Daniher to take over Myers spot in the backline. Whoever plays best in the VFL should get the gig. Also allows us another bigger guy we can swing forward.

Give Zaka a rest. He got clobbered a few times last night and we need to make sure we don't over do it with these kids.

Dyson just stays in but only because we don't have another mid to come in. His kicking this year has been his best ever and he doesn't give it away as much. It's a positive but he still doesn't impose himself enough.

I agree with kelvin. Myers showed improvement, but I would have Daniher and Hurley ahead of him. Zaka could do with a rest and maybe bring in Atkinson and play NLM through the middle and up forward.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I thought yourname sake had a worse kicking game

Still hating Nat-Rat's handballing. Although he played pretty well otherwise

We have won you over.

We have won you over.

IN: Hurley, Daniher
Outs: Myers and Possibly Davey, i know his our x-factor just not confident anymore with his kicking and running.

um MASSIVE disagree right here.


Bring in two KPP defenders and take out a small forward and a defensive flanker?

And might i add, how the hell would davey get dropped?

This is a rare position to be in for us. Having trouble working out who to drop. IMO we should really capitalise on this situation and make players earn thier spot by playing well at Bendigo. Unless team balance demands it we shouldn't be rushing players back.

Players should be rewarded for their efforts. This also means more that just looking at the stats sheet. It means sticking to their job and showing improvements. Slattery is a good example.

Daniher certainly hasn't done enough to warrant displacing anyone from the team. Davey started out with some poor decision making. I wouldn't drop him though, unless he is injured he adds to much to our team.

 

[cAsEy_18]

IN: Hurley
Out: ??

Struggling. Think we need Hurley/Daniher in for the support of Hooker and Pears. But as to who goes out, i'm really not sure. Myers? Maybe. But i'd certainly consider an unchanged side. Another option we could look at, is i saw Bellchambers only played 37% game time, play him a lot more, therefore allow Ryder more time down back. However, i'm more reluctant to do this as i like seeing Ryder around the ground, hence why i'd bring in Hurley.

 

[Kaan]

Davey did make some mistakes but you don't drop someone like Davey.

 

[hird+lloyd=legends]

Anyone who is suggesting that we drop Davey must be an undercover saints official.
Why would we drop Davey who gives us the most forward pressure and always makes defenders think and worry. I thought he was good vs the hawks, he just mucked up some kicks, he doesnt do that every week.

Good Call Duckworth

 

[cawshezy]

lol......

I thought this would be the response, his looks tired or injured or something just lacking confidence

 

[strategy]

Myers out
Hurley in if fit

Dont bring Jetta back too early or McVeigh

The rest will have to work harder to obtain a spot

Darcy wont handle the bigger players at the Sts

What are you on about?

Davey should've of drilled a couple of goals last night but other than that he was his usual "Davey" self creating constant pressure in our forward line and tackling like a madman - the MC would be insane to drop him.

We need as many players that can apply as much pressure as Davey as possible against the Saints.

 

[loopy_cam]

Hayden Skipworth anyone?

 

[BringBackCransberg]

One other thing on Houli: earlier in the season he was copping a lot of flak for not taking straight on hits (i.e. stepping to one side instead of tackling front on). He seemed to have learnt that lesson well during his time in the VFL.

Does anyone else get the "chk-chk" loading a shotgun noise in their head when he lowers the ball for a kick? Coolest kicking action going 'round.

 

[Enki]

I found that remark humourously ironic considering your username, thanks for the laugh.

Yes.

You have to be kidding??? You would hear every coach and back in the AFL breathing a sign of relief if this was to happen. His tacking pressure last night was A grade as always. Seemed a little indecisive with his decision making but I would imagine he would be one of the first 5 picked every week. Not going to happen

Kelvin, he is an elite athlete, not a kid on his first day of grade prep

 

[pazza]

My worry going in is the Goddard match-up...because I'm just not sure which way Saints are going to go with him. I'm not sure we'll change the side, but, we might have to in order to get the right match-up for Goddard.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

So were Dempsey, Lonergan, Gumbleton, Neagle.....oops

.. you get my drift.

Geelong rested Selwood in his first year. Other clubs have done it also. We have a long injury list and I think we need to manage some of these guys a little better.
