Preview Changes vs Sydney

[ab56452001]

what will they learn playing the might of West Adelaide or whoever the Maggies play this week? how will you learn at AFL level by getting dropped?

Almost any side you play in the Sanfl you are going to have to play a game with more physicality than in the Afl , they can learn that for starters.

SANFL more physical than AFL? :~\ drop the whole team to toughen them up in the tougher league you reckon?

 

[Schulzenfest]

Jonas is very lucky, he could've easily gone out for Stewart as a defender or for someone like Amon if we wanted to add an extra mid in the place of a defender (which I think we should), but I didn't expect Ken to drop a leadership group member.

Ryder in and Mitchell out is the right call. Hopefully Gray and Mitchell's cards have been marked after they both put in horrendous performances in their most recent AFL games.

 

[ab56452001]

No-one that played Sunday was ever going to play on a 4 day break, not sure why anyone is surprised.

Thought that after Neade's fantastic first quarter , then subsequent die out , that they told him to take it easy at quarter time , cos your playing next Thursday , wink , wink.

Dont think stewart as a defender is a thing anymore. Which is disappointing

Nar to late for that , those types of things a club looks at when recruiting I would've thought.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Trengove as sub this week

That would be the same delivery the tall forwards receive as well, right?

But it's easy as pie to be a big forward.

When did I say it was easy to be a big forward?

 

[Ian Jackson]

Lose to the bottom team after a season that could be described as no less than a disaster, make one change.

Gold passes are officially back in vogue.

We have had enough forced changes due to injury, we need to play a settled side and let our player understanding develop again.

Ryder is a fantastic solo ruckman that can drift forward and kick goals. I agree with the doubts about Lobbe and Redden though. Lobbe should excel this week with ruck support on a small ground where he can contest lots of stoppages. If he again proves to be nothing more than a statue I will be pleading for Hinkley to send him back to the SANFL.

Ryder is an awesome ruck/forward true. but now compare him to big sandi, nic nat etc. they are top shelp ruckman that can hold down the no. 1 ruck spot. i dont think ryder is no. 1 ruck spot material. remember round 1 v freo?

I disagree with you. He held down this role at Essendon for several seasons, and last year was really adding consistency to his game.

 

[1954]

The swannie's main ruckman tomorrow night will probably be the big cannuck Mike Pyke, it may be a chance for Lobbe to get some form back, and for Ryder to play the 3rd man up role.

You can't judge his no.1 ruck work on round 1 surely? He was well under done, played a monster and did all he could. He's got runs on the board as a lone ruckman, he's won a Anzac Medal foing it and it's common knowledge he prefers being a number 1 ruckman.

 

[Wargreymon90]

I still think that lobbe offers for the team in regards to clearances. He needs to start marking the ball though.

His FIRST game with us, no NAB games. give him a chance!

im not basing it on that at all. i think he is an awesome player. but you hit the nail on the head in your own comment. he was up against a monster. I want a monster of our own, one that just dominates week in week out as a ruckman. when you got sandi palming it down to fyfe....... say no more.
i just dont think ryder is big enough. sure he has a great leap, but to keep doing that all game week in week out requires super human effort

 

[DazzaTys]

Apart from Amon/Polec this is our strongest side with Ryder back in. Really want Moore to stand up and show us that he deserves his spot in the side. I'm hoping Ah Chee gets a whole game though. As people have said, we need to offer some stability now and let these fringe players show they are capable of playing footy t the highest level.

Wow.

His best footy is as the number 1 banana. Do you remember him against Goldstien? Was far more influential...

You couldn't be more incorrect on this one.

 

[FallingLiefs]

Ryder's best spot is a permanent ruck but with time (12-18 months) playing as a key forward in the same team with same players I honestly think he could become a more valuable forward. If he ever become a better forward than ruckman he would be top 10 forwards in the comp. To me that's a touch unrealistic but i really think he could be a 40-50 goal a season forward. We just have to stick him at FF and not move him for more than 10 minutes a game. This includes playing Lobbe through the form drops and weaning in period.
