Preview Changes vs Swans

[SellarStardom]

Would it be worth giving Osborn crack and leave him close to goal? Going to stretch a lot of cobs with him at FF with Betts and a couple of other forwards? But I think the main issues are indeed the midfield and there isn't many options. Lyons, Crouch and possibly CEY

No way has sloane been better than Jaensch. Sloane was bad against Geelong. He was ok yesterday

Talia and Jaensch would be leading the BnF at the moment. Kerridge would be up there aswell, played well against Geelong and tagged Boak yesterday better than VB ever has

But has Jaensch actually affected the game? Not with these cheap sideways and backwards kicks that gets you stats

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

out - Dangerfield the Imposter
in - the REAL Dangerfield

Expecting a HUGE response from Danger this week

 

[Cap]

I thought his defense stood up well. Sure a few mistakes but the amount of pressure he was under for the entire game was in believable.

 

[Slippery Pete]

The problem with making half a dozen changes is if we get belted, then what?

There's definitely a couple of obvious changes this week but I still don't see what dropping Shaun McKernan achieves right now. Do we want to see if he can play or not?

The next time McKernan gets dropped should be the last time. Now if that's what you're arguing - fine. But otherwise he's just on the same merry- go-round he's been on for the last four years.

You don't build a long-term side by dropping the six worst performing players every week. It's not ****ing musical chairs.

You make calls on players and you stick with them for periods. Not one week, not two weeks..... Months.

At the moment I almost wish they would, even if only to send a message to the other bigs "you're all playing so shit even the rookie basketballer is a better option than you. Pull your socks up, or stay in the 2's".

you make a half a dozen more until the message sinks in and you start to find the right players who are prepared to work hard and execute the fundamentals of footy

Paul Roos got it absolutely spot on in his press conference and we are no different, Sando needs to drop players who dont even do the basics well and bring them back once they have worked hard in the sanfl to get their skills to the required acceptable level

 

[Vooligan]

No idea how they would know, but FiveAA reporting this morning that Adelaide will make "up to" five changes for this week's match. Interesting...

Yes, yes and double yes.

Players over the age of 23/24 don't get dropped, they get delisted.

Slow developing talls aside, If you've had six plus seasons in the system and still can't play at a consistent AFL level that warrants selection every week then you shouldn't be there.

Crouch out injured.

One is up to five.

 

[Skippy231]

Danger copped a knee in the ribs against GWS then copped a barrage of hits last week, I think he is still pretty sore

All well and good if the changes are actually improvements.

I was listening to the Roos press conference thinking he was talking about the Crows.

Yet Sando, whilst visibly restrained pretty much let it at we'll learn from that.

 

[Wood_Duck]

Are we talking about Tex?

yes mate.

 

[Mattrox]

In: M Crouch, Jenkins, Cameron CEY.

Out: IDGAF but we need to be turning over the team now. Start this week.

Ive had a night to think about it, and im still none the wiser really. McKernan gets another crack, had a few credits in the bank after Geelong but needs to find consistency. Jaensch too but he cannot play down back, he must move up field.

Out-
Pods- The ingredients are there, hes chasing, presenting and working his back side off but is horribly out of touch. Go back and see whether that's permanent.
Porps- It saddens me to see him run around now and think what it could've been. Its time Porpy.
Crouch- And dont bring him back until hes had a good month of reserves footy to gets miles in his legs
LJ- I was not seduced by last week, he just does not work anywhere near hard enough.

In-
Crouch- Lets see what he can do, if not now then WTF are we doing.
JJ- work your arse off young man, crash packs and provide effort.
Cameron- not ready but give him a taste of it. Just tackle and chase, you dont need experience to do that.
Laird- skill and composure please


Could also make a case for CEY too but we probably wont play 2 rookies let alone 3

Pretty much agree. Would like to add that with our turn overs we can't afford to have Shaw in the side. He'd be on our list of outs.

I can't see the club making more than 3 changes, but I can easily find 5. We need to make 3 changes and follow up with a couple more next week.

Rutten was fine until the dam wall broke in the last, letting Schulz get the ball up on the wing isn't a big deal.

Talia on the other hand didn't have a great game.

Neither Rutten or Talia were anywhere near the problem - the pathetic nature in which our midfield and forwards laid down after turning it over meant Truck/Talia were constantly exposed to fast/direct ball movement.

We keep doing that bullshit where we push our zone up the ground and leave the opposition 50 empty as well - then when the inevitable turnover happens, they carve us up through the middle and hammer it into their F50; we give up easy goals, again.

The bold has been a major issue for over 12 months, yet again, it's blatantly obvious to everybody - why can't our vaunted coaching panel see it?

 

[Tex200]

Tippett ruled out for this week

Its one of those things that looks great on paper and sounds very feasible. It should be very effective in practice. I've said it before. Sando is a gambler. At the moment hes going broke.

 

[FantasticShirt]

At least two of Pods, Porps, Mckernan and Johnston need to go. I'd prefer all of them never played a game for the Crows again but injuries have screwed us there.

Out: Crouch B (inj), Porp, Johnston, Pods
In: Laird, Crouch M, Lyons, Lynch

I refuse to accept that as an excuse. The errors he made on the weekend didn't have anything to do with being sore...

 

[Tex200]

Nice of Rucci to do us a favour by writing an article smashing the Swans and saying they've been hit by the karma bus.

Does he ever do anything to fire up Ports opposition each week ?

 

[King Elvis]

Meh.

If we aren't fired up after the pathetic display we put on over the weekend, we're a lost cause.

 

[jenny61_99]

Watched th Swans game this morning and they looked like they really struggled to cover the ground in the 2nd half

Some of their older players in Shaw, Pyke, Richards and ROK who are all 31yrs+ seem to be struggling at the moment and some of their younger players look a little too heavy and seem to have lost some of their run

Also interesting to note that Sydney in the first two rounds have kicked a total if 5.7.37 in 4 qtrs of footy after half time

On Buddy, with no Tippett and Goodes up forward Buddy looks like he is struggling to carry the load and is being double tagged, at least at Hawthorn he had Roughead, Gunston and Hale all drawing good defenders which made it difficult for teams to double tag Buddy

Additionally since taking the reins Horse Longmire has done little with the Sydney game however now looks like it is in the need of some type of refresh

Even despite our form after watching the Sydney game I am more confident now at beating Sydney at home

Buddy wont get double tagged... we barely tag ONE player let alone put two on em!

Yeah but even worse see how finished that article pumping Powers tyres again.
