Finals Week 1 - Team Changes

[Medhurst Magic]

In - Fraser, Didak & Rusling

Out - Richards,Clarke & Reid


Cloke & Davis have been ordinary last few weeks, but they have the score on the board so far this year.

That must count for something.

It will be a different game next week @ the MCG, no matter who we play.

Confidence is still high

 

[c'wood-pies]

Clarke?

good luck.

 

[TwisTz]

In - Fraser, Rusling, Didak

Out - Richards, Reid, R Shaw

 

[Darpy]

why on earth would u drop clarke?? hes about the only one that tried

pretty sure we have the crows again. something has to be done about the centre clearances, did we even win ONE??

 

[buckstheking]

Meddy will be very concerned.....average again, but not alone

 

[WakeUpPies]

gee lets pray sydney wins, i rather play sydney

 

[Stakerz]

In : Didak, Fraser, Rusling.

Out : Hopefully not Rocca/Shaw. Richards, I felt sorry for this bloke early in the game, pretty much because he gets the shit bagged through him. But he needs to go.. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O'brien anyone? Has been SHIT!

probably Reid too.

 

[Medstar]

Atm.

Out.cloke, reid and richards.

In. Didak, rusling and fraser.

Thomas could go as he has been shit lately.

 

[AsianWithAFro]

I agree O'Brien's been bad as late but he should be kept next week.

Immediate swap for Richards for Fraser

Rhyce Shaw out for Didak

If possible Reid out for Rus

 

[Medhurst Magic]

Meddy will be very concerned.....average again, but not alone

Obviously havnt seen the last 3 games mate

 

[Medhurst Magic]

Clarke?

good luck.

Toss up between Clarke & Racer I reckon.

Clarke is gonna be a gem but last 2 games he has only got small numbers in terms of possessions.

 

[sloth6]

Correct Darpy, one of a few that had a crack and the only f**king one prepared to put a blo*dy block on for his team mates. Too many times blokes running forward wanting a handball instead of getting behind the ball carrier and ensure that he is clear and can deliver.

OUT: Rhys Shaw, Guy Richards, Ben Reid
IN: Josh Fraser, Alan Didak, Sean Rusling

Leaving the phone dome, I hoped Rhys Shaw never pulled on a maggies jumper again. He was terrible, weak and soft. Then after giving myself time to calm dow after watching that crap, we need his run and carry on the wide open spaces of the G. That would be his only saving grace.

Guy Richards - No more needs to be said about this bloke.

Shane O'Bree and Davis can consider themselves lucky as well. Did FA tonight and Cheesy has been ordinary for a few weeks.

Maybe Dick is an option - someone with genuine pace and to create someting out of nothing. Bring some excitement into the team! Neon's not doing it

 

[TwisTz]

Meddy will be very concerned.....average again, but not alone

Medders was fine. He had a few handy possessions, including an "important*" goal assist to Rocca at the end of the 3rd quarter which was good work.

Would be nice if Mick would leave him in the forward pocket instead of running him around the ground though.

*not too important since we lost I guess.

 

[Medhurst Magic]

In : Didak, Fraser, Rusling.

Out : Hopefully not Rocca/Shaw. Richards, I felt sorry for this bloke early in the game, pretty much because he gets the shit bagged through him. But he needs to go.. NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O'brien anyone? Has been SHIT!

probably Reid too.

Yeah, he has been ordinary since the injury to be honest.

Had a good one against Riewoldt in the wet but thats about it.

 

[Stakerz]

yeah bring little Dicky in, remember his pass to lockyer running into the open goal

 

[jefffff34]

Licuria has to be a massive shout this week.

He has the exact body that we needed in the midfield tonight, tough, not necessarily explosive pace, but can run all night.

Doesn't that sound exactly like Goodwin, Edwards, etc?

 

[doofdoof]

In - Fraser, Rusling, Didak

Out - Richards, Reid, R Shaw

Agreed. Although I could leave Reid in for Medhurst

 

[didaka]

In : Didak, Fraser, Rusling.

Heard this post on Fineys Final siren.

Stakerz is the newest BF user to get a gig on the show.

Except Goodwin and Edwards would both slaughter him for pace and can actually kick a football. Licuria is done, let's not go backwards. O'Bree was absolutely shocking tonight as well.

 

[didaka]

In: Fraser, Rusling

Out: Reid, Richards

Reasons:

*Richards is PUSS and must make way.

*Rusling is infront of Reid right now. Reid is very impressive, but at this point in time, the body aint made for finals footy.

IMO Didak should be left out. He is carrying a hip, and hip injuries are debilitating. You can't take a 1/2 baked player into a final. It is the first step to disaster.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Ins : Didak, Rusling, Fraser



Out :
O'Brien - has been beaten by his opponents over the last month. Has really struggled in one on one contests with his opponents.
Reid - Unlucky
Richards - really needs to know how to give a contest in the middle.

 

[Thommo 42]

some of you guys astound me.

I've seen suggestions to drop Dale Thomas, Travis Cloke and Martin Clarke??

ARE YOU F#CKING SERIOUS?

Then someone puts Licuria up as a possible replacement? Please, we want to WIN games of football.

IN: Fraser, Didak, Rusling
OUT: Bryan, R Shaw, Reid

Bryan will get rubbed out for his knee on Johncock, which make the ruck decision easy.

 

[Presti_is_god]

Presti will be a big show to come in as well. Possibly for Maxwell or Harry. Those 2 havent been anything special lately. Especially Harry and his annoying disposal.

 

[Naish]

Good call. Lica has runs on the board as far as finals go, probably need to drop a similar type player though - O'Bree??
I'll never forget Lica's game in 2002 against Port in the first week of the finals. Awesome

 

[Optimax]

IN Fraser, didak, Rusling
Out Richards, Davis, Reid

Reasons

Richards plays like Fraser but when he gets the ball you know an opposistion player will get it within the next two possesions, Stretch just isnt good enough and looks terribly lost playing next to fraser.

Davis: has gone missing the past month, cant hit targets, hasnt kicked goals, doesnt lay tackels anymore, doesnt go in for the hard ball like he did at the start of the season time to piss him off to willy

Reid: just not ready yet, doesnt have the body and we need ruslings speed in the forward line

Lucky

Cloke; what happened to him? he looks worse than he did last year right now

Bryan: been a massive supporter and still am he is more value than richards but really bear when you use your body use it, and when you shoot for goal use all you kicking power not a half arse stabbed, and when you are pushing around a midget dont lose your balance for **** sake
