Changes vs Sydney

[Longy413]

I'm hearing he's not playing his natural game- if they let him off the leash without compromising the team plan ( whatever that is ) its a win all round.

I've heard him say he's been told to back his instincts...

 

[mercs]

FWIW:

Out: Houli, Dyson
In: Hislop, Welsh

tell us abit about hislop there seems to be alot of people impressed with him and what position does he play. i have even heard the coaching staff talking about him and what pick was he in the draft

 

[DonMania#5]

His disposals were effective but there were a couple of instances when he made errors without taking possession. One being his allowance of Krakouer to side step him and kick a goal and the other being when he allowed the ball to get past him instead of smothering it down.

I think that's what he referring to as clangers.

What he said, couldn't think of a word for it.

He is pretty much just a hard at it midfielder. From what ive seen, he seems to have worse skills than Houli (and when I say that, im not talking about the skills houli has displayed so far), but seems more composed. Not sure if he can go forward or back effectively, but everyone is impressed by his hardness at the ball.

[Longy413]

I reckon Cole will get dropped.

I havent seen much of him, but if he is anything like Nathan jones I'd be happy

 

[SouthSwans]

Isn't this traditionally Mark Bolton's one good game every year?

 

[Longy413]

Only since Steve Alessio retired.

 

[monty1104]

Alessio also played well against Richmond. He was a 2 trick pony. Thats a whole extra trick more than Bolton

 

[Mitch_Swansrule]

You can make as many changes as u want... the fact is the swans will still kill essendon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodesy BACK!

Wow your a newbie, who would have thought.

 

[BomberDog]

A suggestion...

Out: Campo/Dyson, Monfries
In: Welsh, Bradley

Like Welsh's use of the ball, so he is in. Just can't decide whether to keep road-testing Dyson in this decisive year of his footy career. Gee his stats read badly last week...

Bradley has apparently been playing some good footy at Bendigo. If he doesn't come back in this week, I would see it as a pretty bad sign for his career. Prefer him to Laycock courtesy of his mobility.

Who will play on Goodes? McPhee? How many minutes do you think Bradley could keep up with Goodes before he explodes?

No not bradley, the ground is to small to have another tall foward. Seeing as goodes has hit some fom we may aswell bring bolts in to do the only thing he is good at.

 

[ant555]

GOD suggested the two players i thought would be in.
In: Welsh,Laycock
Out: Dyson and ? Probably 3 or 4 they will look at.

 

[monty1104]

I really cant see laycock coming in. I know they have 2 good ruckmen, but they dont both ruck at the same time! Just have Hille rucking say 80% of the game and let ryder ruck at the end of each quarter so hille can have a break.

I agree. Laycock has had his chances and failed. I don't think he would have gotten much better in the space of 3 weeks

Found the last part of this article intresting

Players in contention for a call-up include Tom Hislop, Jay Nash and rookie-listed Dean Dick, who Sheedy said would come under serious consideration for promotion in the next fortnight.

 

[dave_27]

Mark Bolton is playing.

Sheedy all but said it in his press conference.

 

[dave_27]

IN: Bolton, Welsh, Layock

OUT: Cole, Dyson, Houli

2 players coming in are medicore while the 3 going out arent having an impact.

Only positve is Welsh.

 

[High Ryder]

Like what i've heard about Dean Dick.

 

[topdon]

What has Laycock done? And Bolton?????

Very disappointing 'ins' there. We're going to be beaten at the stoppages ... "again".

 

[ant555]

In: Laycock,Welsh,Hislop
Out:Cole,Dyson,Houli.

 

[retroparty]

yep we need young hislop to have a game. From what I've heard he sounds like a very good player

 

[Longy413]

How did Pev train Ant?
