Changes vs Tigers

[Mojorisin]

Another disappointing fade out and a couple fresh injuries. What are everyone's changes?
For me Out: Keath, Bruce, Gardner, VDM
IN: Jones, Buss, JOD, West, Baker (Sub)

 

[_Mike_]

Gardener and VDM won’t be dropped

 

[Mojorisin]

Gardener and VDM won’t be dropped

A bit of wishful thinking. Both crack in and can't be faulted for effort but ball in hand leaves alot to be desired.

When VDM does not fumble and actually gets ball in hand, maybe

Scott and Vandermeer to go out for West and Richards. Never play these list cloggers again.

 

[Doggies7]

Get a bit lucky playing Richmond off a 5 day break, need all the luck we can get though... Hopefully Liam Jones

is ready to go, wouldn't mind seeing Arty Jones again also as a pressure fwd. The ball was coming out far too easy in that second half.

 

[Cookie]

How does Old Mother Hubbard go again?

 

[lachy]

Other than Jones the other changes would only be to see if some younger players can develop over the last few weeks such as BUSS and JOD, maybe Clarke or AJ.

VFL fixture is a Joke but we really don't help ourselves either

[Bazza Bulldog]

Out: Poulter, Bruce, Keath, VDM
In: Richards, Baker, A. Jones, L. Jones (West stays as Sub) ... If Jones is not fit, then Buss (preferred) or JOD

Cleary plays tall. Poulter has been OK, though for me Baker is ahead and it is time to have our best in.

 

[TMoney22]

Out: Keath, Bruce, Poulter, VDM
In: JOD, Khamis, Richards, Garcia

 

[doggy_dog]

OUT: Keath, Bruce, Cleary, VDM

IN: Jones, JOD, Richards, West

Baker sub

 

[Libba39]

Is L.Jones ready?

 

[doggy_dog]

Is L.Jones ready?

Sounding like he’s very close

 

[Golden_6]

In: Jones, O’Donnell, Richards, West
Out: Keath, Bruce, Cleary, Poulter

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Keep Cleary in and get games into him. Give Duryea a spell.

Bring in Buss.

 

[DognBones]

Out: Bruce, Keath, Vandermeer, Poulter
In: Jones, Busslinger, Richards, West
Garcia next cab off the rank.

 

[Libba39]

Despite all the canning of him on here, I thought Lobb's game was his most promising since he's been at the club (at least before he moved back). He took some contested marks (one not paid) and rucked well. I have a feeling he'll play a decent game next week.

is fit, he plays. If not then Busslinger to debut alongside Gardner and O'Donnell. Cleary still looks physically underdone but I like the idea of him playing alongside Bussslinger as they have spent the whole year in the reserves together.

Love Duryea but don't think he plays well at the dome so I'd rest him.

Poulter shows promise but there were a few moments of hesitation yesterday. Would not be surprised if dropped. More speed needed with Baker on a wing.

Scott and Vandermeer. Love Scotty but he's a bit of a foot-soldier and doesn't have the ability to turn a game. Vandermeer just needs a year in the reserves to learn how to do the basics well. Neither of them can apply the forward pressure that Arthur Jones can.

Out: Bruce (inj), Keath (conc), Scott, Vandermeer, Poulter, Duryea

In: L.Jones/Busslinger, A.Jones, Baker, Richards, O'Donnell, Hannan (sub)

FB: Richards Gardner Busslinger/L.Jones
HB: Dale O'Donnell Johannisen
C: Baker Bontempelli Macrae
HF: B.Smith Naughton A.Jones
FF: Lobb Ugle-Hagan Weightman
RUC: English Treloar Liberatore
INT: West, Daniel, Cleary, Williams
Sub: Hannan

 

[Next Waiting]

Out: Bruce (inj), Keath (inj), Weightman (omit), Smith (omit) Duryea (omit)

In: L Jones, JOD, Richards, A Jones, Clarke

Sub: West

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

VDM and never to play again!!!!

 

[JTCWBFC]

Out: Scott, VDM, Keath, Bruce, Gardner, Duryea

In: Jones, JOD, Buss, Ed, Arty Jones, Baker

I’m so over the Gardner experiment.

Build with Jones, JOD and Buss then find a Jones replacement over the next 2 years.

Those 3 + Cleary, JJ, Ed and Dale.

More youth and speed.

 

[Del203211]

Time to get games into Buss, O’Donnell, Jones, Gallagher and Cleary so that we are prepared for 2024.

Leave Lobb at FF and play Naughton up the ground.

Ive loved Duryea but isn’t part of the 2024 plans.

No point in us making the SAME changes again.

Never to be seen again this year - Hannan, Duryea, McComb, Mclean

[doggies ftw]

Out: Bruce, Keath, Gardner, Doc, VDM, Scott (sub), Poulter
In: LJ, JOD, Buss, Red, AJ, West, Baker

The backline is flipping attrocious, gut it completely and start again.

We need West & AJ inside 50 desperately for some pressure.

Absolutely zero chance this happens though lol, will be the bare minimum, again.

Please lose and not make finals

Don’t think you need to say please lose.

Contrary to many my opinion is we will lose to Tiggers, Hawks and Geelong
