In:Warnock
Out:Watts

We killed Brisbane with pace in round 5 and we will do it again.

If Junior is fit id love him back in to play on Black. But if he's not 100% dont take him.

If McDonald or Moloney are ready to come back i would leave Jones and or Maric out.
 
I'm against dropping Watts. I mean his workload hasn't been that heavy this year and he'd benefit way more by getting as much experience as possible. Scully deserves a break, he's had a monster month. Beamer/Trengove in for him and possibly one of Bail/Maric/Jones, but Jones would be the best as he's played the most this year.

So Warnock, Rivers, Frawley, Garland and Joel Macdonald all in the same backline?

Far far too top heavy.

If Warnock comes in it has to be for Rivers.

Agreed, and I can't see that change being made. (For those wondering, Rivers did not play against them earlier in the year)

Rivers is a better player than Warnock, send him to Brown and back him in.

In: Trengove
Out: Maric

Sorry Addam, last in, first out IMO and I think Bail offers more.
 
Warnock's been killing it in the VFL apparently, but those who say we HAVE to bring him in to play on Fev obviously can't remember the Carlton game a year or so back when Frawley dominated Fev before being moved off him for dubious reasons.....

Ins/Outs all depends on injuries and who is fit out of Junior, Moloney and Trengove. If they're all fit, then god help the match committee.

Yea right. Chip keeps Brown to bugger all last time we played them and they will send Rivers to him this time.:rolleyes:

Warnock - Fev
Frawley - Brown
Rivers - Clark, A Corn, Staker
Garland - Proud
J Mac - Any mid sized forward.
Bartram - Banfield.

Brisbane generally play tall up forward, we wouldnt be top heavy. Garland can easily play on smaller players such as Proud. A Corn has good hands for a mid sized forward and i would prefer Rivers on him rather than Brown or Fev.
 
Selection wise this is the best it's been in a while, I loved the way bail was playing early on in the season and it looks like he's getting back in to that form, for development reasons alone it would be great to keep him in the team.

Also Maric I thought had a great game for his first one back in a while, was suprised to see his relentless attack on the footy and his 2nd/3rd efforts which a few times resulted in us getting something from nothing.

Either way I can't wait to see the game, anxious to see if we can replicate our performance from last week.
 
I think Moloney and Jmac should be given another week, especially considering we are travelling. Leave Wonna, Maric and Bail they need to be given consecutive games and they are playing good enough to retain their spot in the side.

Leave Watts and Scully in the side, particularly Watts giving him a week will do his development more harm than good. We've seen a lot of our yougnsters over the last 3 years always struggle to adapt back to AFL when coming back from VFL level or weeks off.

Jones and Bennell are two that could be on the chopping block. Jones needs to work his disposal although it was good last game he didn't wina lot of the ball. Bennell's pressure is fantastic and has been working hard as a defensive forward but would like him to win more of the ball and kick goals.

Trengove should be back in the side this week.

I like pretty much all these points, which leads me to the conclusion that, if fit, Trenners comes in for Jones. Stiff to dump Jones after a reasonable game last week inc. 2 goals, but won only 3 possessions and had only 9 disposals. Also I'm liking Bennell's stuff at the moment.

In terms of match ups, I am worried about Black. Could be an idea to have one of the young blokes run with him, ala Morton on Goodes last week, but who? Jordie, Scully...? Or have Scully or Trengove just go h2h with him and back em in?

this week our match committee faces the difficult task of fitting in
Trengove, Moloney and Junior... all three of whom have been fantastic when playing for us this year and undoubtedly deserve to be slotted straight in... the problem is who do we drop???

After a 73 point win things are looking good, especially with the numerous players to come in (also Blease, Tappy, Strauss, Fitz, GAWN, etc.)

all three players MUST come in, i reiterate.... who for???

this was our team:

B: Colin Garland, Jared Rivers, Clint Bartram
HB: Jordie McKenzie, James Frawley, Joel Macdonald
C: Jamie Bennell, Cameron Bruce, Brad Green
HF: Lynden Dunn, Cale Morton, Tom Scully
F: Colin Sylvia, Jack Watts, Liam Jurrah
Foll: Mark Jamar, Rohan Bail, Aaron Davey
I/C: Nathan Jones, Paul Johnson, Addam Maric, Austin Wonaeamirri

if i had to make changes it would be...

In: Moloney, Trengove (if uninjured), Junior
Out: Jones (needs to find some form but will be in our best 22 moving forward), Bail (if Trengove is injured) :(, and one of Bennell/Maric :(

i dont like any of those changes but those three players deserve immediate recalls...

to deal with it i think Moloney and Trengove will rest for another week (or play VFL ala Junior)

and Jones goes out for Junior...
THERE WILL BE NO OMISSIONS FOR THE bRISBANE GAME WITH THE ONLY EXCEPTION BEING jOHNSON AND ANY INJURIES.

Tregove and moloney would be the 1st 2 in and i dont rate jnr that high atm.Bail,Maric and co would be better served to play brisbane to back up there performances.

Saying that i would be very surprised if anyone was ommitted apart from P.johnson. for trengove or warnock.Boomer wait 1 more week,Jnr 1 more game for Casey......
 
Some mentioned it earlier but I totally disagree, anyone who wants to drop Bennell is pretty clueless lol.

B: Colin Garland, Jared Rivers, Clint Bartram
HB: Jordie McKenzie, James Frawley, Joel Macdonald
C: Jamie Bennell, Cameron Bruce, Brad Green
HF: Lynden Dunn, Cale Morton, Tom Scully
F: Colin Sylvia, Jack Watts, Liam Jurrah
Foll: Mark Jamar, Rohan Bail, Aaron Davey
I/C: Nathan Jones, Paul Johnson, Addam Maric, Austin Wonaeamirri

IN: Trengove
OUT: Maric

Even that was hard to do. Can't fit McDonald and Moloney, everyone was pretty damn good. Would hate to see Bail dropped, I think he's a future star tbh.
 
Scully will be rested, I'm calling it. Watts, on the other hand, would take a step back if rested... he and Scully are clearly at different stages, and Scully needs it.

Then take your pick out of Junior, Tren and Beam to come in. What a dilemma :)

IN: McDonald
OUT: Jones

Moloney is only 50\50 so no need to risk him.

If it's good enough for McDonald and Sylvia it's good for Trengove to come back through the VFL.

Garland can play on Fev, Frawley on Brown.

A bit tough on Jones, but his form hasn't been crash hot lately, besides his 2 great goals he didn't do a whole lot. He needs to start finding the ball in the VFL. Bennell should not be dropped his pace and pressure are very important to the club. McDonald must come in.
