If Eddy comes into the 22 Ken just trolled all of Big Footy perfectly

I'm Ken and so's my wife

 

[Trewth]

lol don't get your hopes up

 

[BrockBlitz]

Imagine if neade gets dropped, Hartlett doesn't come up and we see eddy and atley come in. That's exciting.

 

[StuMan]

Even if Eddy doesn't come in, I ain't mad at no Broadbent.

 

[Manhattan Bronx]

As I said earlier in this thread, I have a feeling Hartlett will also be a late out, resulting in Eddy and another (Atley?) into the 22.

Fingers crossed!

I'd like to see that!

The closer you are to perfection the more the flaws become apparent.

Too bad that playing the players people are asking for would balance us only for the fact that we'd score more goals when we got the ball inside 50 but our inside 50 numbers would drop to the point where it would be irrelevant because it would end up being the same score.

People don't want to acknowledge the negatives in their changes. Why not try and figure out why the coaches don't want to make these apparently sensible and rational changes first?

Here's a big hint - locking the ball inside forward 50 isn't all the high forwards do. They also drop back into defence - which is why our defence is so good in spite of playing shorter key backs. That's why we need so many of them.

 

[John the Butcher]

Trengove back to replace Brogsy,
Eddy forward to replace Trengove,
Atley for Hartlett

Hombsch will be a straight swap for Hartlett. Reckon Atley's just along to get the PowerSauce Bars.

 

[Trewth]

Hombsch is replacing someone.

 

[Powerade 08]

In all seriousness they are extremely hard to get that's why swans overpaid for tippet and hawks vickery. At least our backup was min wage.

There was Petrie and Vardy who will be playing in a winning side against us on Sunday, plus Stewart from GWS. Also Vickery and Cloke, lol. And that's just the players who were traded last year.

We've known we need help for Lobbe and Schulz since Kens first year. So the position we are in now is unacceptable.

 

[FrankDrebin]

A lot of the focus seems to be on the tall forward structure (and rightfully so), but the lack of Angus Monfries in this team is equally as puzzling. They are different players but surely it'd be almost impossible to argue that Jake Neade creates a better net average return than Monfries would? Pressure acts are meaningless if you can't actually score from the resulting turnover.

He has plenty of knockers but Jake Neade can at least get through a game of footy. I'd guess that Gus wont be up for selection until he can get through at least a month of footy.

 

[charcolechaddy]

Funny that the only three teams that look a chance to win the flag have marking forwards.

I think there's a fear we'll be sacrificing too much the other way. We have to make a change though, trying the same set-up over and over is stale and has a zero (ZERO!!) strike rate against top teams.

Very happy to see Eddy in although now Ken can massively troll us keeping Eddy, Atley and Drew as emergencies.

We're definitely a very good repeat entry team. Arguably the best in the league.

It'd just be nice to actually convert that to a score, and with the current system, we've been bad at doing that against competent teams.

(67 I50s for 63 points on the scoreboard against Richmond.)

So something needs to change, we need to become more efficient. We might lose a few repeat entries with this system, but i'm banking on a net gain to our ability to turn our good defensive work into scores.

Something has to change, we can't keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

I dare say Hammer wont get up either. Therefore we will have the right amount of half back flankers (in Pittard and Houston + DBJ).

So Hammer, Broady and Neade out and in comes Atley, Eddy and Hombsch....

I would like to see that for sure.

 

[Boxx]

We were completely run over in the 4th by an average Richmond side.....at home.

3 defenders down...

 

[LP7_]

LOL Toumpas has flown to Perth to replace Broadbent apparently. LOLHinkley.

No way...

 

[finbarr]

3 defenders down...

I think someone was having a lend of me.

 

[Boxx]

I think someone was having a lend of me.

yeah

Young also out isn't he?

 

[R_Gray_Jnr_Jnr]

So, I guess the round peg didn't fit into the round hole after all..

The Diameter of the round hole was 5 foot 5 inches.

Brett Eddy's proverbial Round Peg was 6 foot 5 inches.

The shape was right. the height/length not so much.

Basically only midget round pegs fit into the midget round hole.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Eddy won't play unless we have three more injury dropouts. You don't bring a guy in as the 26th entrant into a 25 man squad and then play him, especially for an away game where you'd have to fly him over. It does increase Atley's chances though, which is nice.

I'm completely fine with Broadbent out. Hartlett, Pittard, Broadbent, DBJ and Houston is at least one (arguably two) half back too many and IMO Broady offers the least of that quintet.
