There should be alot of movement at the selection table this week.It frustrates me that all these out of form senior players get dropped to Coburg, play out of their skins, Get promoted again and don't deliver. Here are a list of the culprits

Tivendale
Bowden
Pettifer
Hyde - I won't be too harsh on Hyde but surely we'd be better off having Jackson or Polo getting there arses kicked by Ablett & Goodes rather than this numb nut.

I say we trade Pettifer and Hyde to Port for Rodan and bring the Ginger Ninja Connors back as soon as possible as well. How is Rance going for the Burgers , please give me something , any thing Terry
 
Johnson out aswell. You might have to squeeze a 4th Collins into the lineup.

I'd like to see:

INS: Polak, Jackson, Mcguane

OUTS: Johnson, Hyde, Pettifer
 
I have to admit, watching Patto absolutely bust his arse all day and still struggle, then see Simmo sit on the wing all day racking up uncontested possies shits me up the wall.

Try Simmonds out!

His "effort "was a disgrace!

And what, put Tuck in the ruck???

I know he didnt have the greatest game but its not like he is one of our in and under players. He is a bloody good ruckman and if you cant see that then there is something wrong.
You dont get picked to play for Victoria for nothing.
 
Troy Simmonds is a good ruckmen...there is no way you can drop him...he struggles in wet and slippery conditions because he cant get his normal giant leap which he does and therefore taller ruckmen will always beat him...thats just the way it is.
 
With Burton out the key against Adelaide will be their run out of defence. We will need to think carefully about who can be accountable enough to play on McLeod and Johncock and deny them the ball from the likes of Rutten and Bassett. I'd like to think we can cover them in the middle, if we have an "on" day and someone like Hyde can minimise Goodwin's influence. He starts up forward but as soon as there are any problems he is in the midfield where I think he does most damage still anyway. Can't afford any brainfarts.
 
I reckon blokes are being a bit harsh on Bowden since his return. has been far from our worst and actually took some solid grabs against the swans. Who else took garbs in our forward line last week.

the broken record continues when talking about this dude...far from our worst isnt best by far dude...the end. ;)
 
Bowden and Pettifer don't really deserve to be dropped. If we were tanking then i'd swap them with Morton and Hughes. But we really should bring in Jackson and Mcguane for Hyde and Johnson at least
 
I would like to see MCGUANE come in but i dont think there is a suitable matchup for him now that burton is out.

I would also like to see POLAK come in and play as a permanent forward marking option and also help out in the ruck if needed.

and a against popular demand i would like to see HYDE, PETTIFFER and BOWDEN given antoher crack.

Basically the only change

OUT- JOHNSON

IN- POLAK

If we can keep mcleod, johncock, goodwin and porps quiet will have a great shot at winning this game.

It would also give our guys alot of confiendence if we can knock off a 'top 4 team' as well.

"Far from worst isnt our best,"

So are you saying every week we should drop 21 players who werent our best as we can only have one best.

He has done his job since his return, you cant ask for more than that. He may not be our future but if kids are not stepping up to the plate with coburg then what makes you think they will cut it in the seniors.
 
i think we need to bring in Jackson and play him on a HFF to tag one of their rebounding Half-Backs and hopefully try to hurt them the other way and snag a couple. take out hyde and let tuck tag the number 1 mid.

yes you can, from a guy of his experience, he should not just be doing "a job", he should be doing "the job".
On the other hand if he was a kid who had been given the taste, then yes...you could suggest you cant ask any more than that.
Kids not stepping up to the plate in Coburg, is a tired old excuse dude. Connors for instance wasnt stepping up to the plate last year at Coburg, and when given his chance in the 1s, "did the job". ;)

Be serious for 1 minute. If a player does his job then you cant expect more than that. And as opposed to last year we are fortunate enough to have to make players earn their wy into the side which what the kids have to do.

How can you expect Bowden to do "the job" thats just not realistic.
 
And further more, " What is, the job," LOL

the job is have the media screaming, along with us and the opposition supporters spewing like we do, when it happens to us, that he took the game by the scruff of the neck, kicked 5 in a scintillating burst and won it for us, or turned it our way for us.

now do you understand the difference between "a job" and "the job"?

FFS he can get it, now ____ing bomb it in FFS. Anything around 50 is a chance for him. So stop frigging around trying to thread needles. Hit the big sticks 15 times and 5 will go through at least.

He has a good baulk, so he can lose his man 8 times out 10. He can get to jsut inside 50 8 times out of 10, he should be sailing them through from there on the run and only pass it when he is 110% sure that it will hit the target.
To easy, now ____ing start coaching TW, and stop with the scientific shit...)

Out: Johnson, Hyde

In: Morton, Collins

  • Rotate Brown between centre and forward
  • Bowden on the wing going forward- to test if he still has the pace and endurance.

Mate, WTF are you talking about?? He didn't say he was our best, he was just stating that Bowden hasn't been as crap as you are saying. Get over yourself.

man, WTF are you talking about...didnt say he was crap, i am saying we are crap when Bowden wasnt our worst as is the case with Pettifer. They have been not our worst forever, and we have been crap. Time to move onto to players who when they are not our worst, we arent crap. Fool...FFS, some dudes just never wake up do they? They shit themsleves at the thought of us doing something new, to change the landscape, for fear of what?? like ____ing what fool? ;)

Because of Johncock and McLeod, Pettifer needs to be dropped.
