Lloyds Replacement

[CORZA]

i reckon gumby his been in descent form in the reserves .. get campo out and put lovett murray in

However Bradley's only managed that once against Brisbane when we kicked 25 goals as a team.

Probably because he's only been played as a forward once.

Paddy Ryder a possibility?

Gumby has been injured for about 6 weeks and it was his first game back last week and he only played about 60% of the game.

Do some research boy!

Thats what i'd do...

Bring in an extra mid for Lloyd (were going to need as many runners as we can get) and Stick Paddy up forward.

 

[Jono B]

Just play the lumbering dinosaur (Laycock) at full forward, Dustin Fletcher works as well

Definately Laycock, he has really been a very dangerous target over the last few games, bringing in another tall would hurt our running depth.

3-4 isnt a bag...

For a CHF, it is.

 

[High Ryder]

Dont get me wronng i think Bradley could be a handy 3rd forward but relying on him as a main target has me worried.

 

[havoc_planet]

Bring in Fevola

Isn't Lucas playing?



Between Lucas and Hille/Laycock, Bradley would be our third target.

 

[Crave]

Bradley has been dominating CHF at VFL level for a number of weeks.

If he doesn't come in for Lloyd, we are sending a message to our young players that no matter how well you play, good form won't get you a game when a spot opens up.

That isn't healthy for our footy club. Bradley deserves a game if Lloyd misses, his form has demanded it.

Gumby is one week back from an extensive time on the sidelines. He's a kid that was well protected on the weekend. I can't wait to see him, but if he plays ahead of Bradley then we're a joke.

While I agree with Bradley being brought in as his form warrants it, Scarlett would have to be pencilled in to win against either Johns or Kep.

Id have Lucas at FF and Bradley taking over from Lucas' role.

If Bradley played would the match comitee be likely to do this though? I'd suggest they'd be more likely to rotate Hille and Laycock off the bench. Will be very interesting in which way they go. Another option i just thought of was playing Gus out of the square. What are peoples opinions on that??

Laycock at FF.
Really think he could give Scarlett a test.

Bradley and Lucas both mobile chf's as i said earlier.

Whats the problem with that kind of setup?

 

[Crave]

Id leave Laycock as our number one ruckman. Hille returning should match them easily in the middle.

Makes no difference who we place at FF if we dont get first use in the centre.

This game is a mini final for us, make no mistake about that.

Not entirley Stupid if he is in form.....We seen williams from hawks Last year do ok as a Midget FF, but i dont think he is ready yet. I can see a Johnson or McPhee Dropping back.....McPhee best contested mark in EFC IMO

We need both Hille and Laycock in the ruck at all times to give our midfield first use of the ball, or we may as well pack up after half time.

I agree, actually said that in my first post on this thread.

 

[SJ]

The same bloke that filled in for Lloyd last year and booted 60+ goals.

Scarlett is in for a almighty de-pansting from Lucas this Friday.

Scarlett will take your full forward, not Lucas. And if Lucas plays there, watch this year's All Australian wear Lucas like a glove.

Well we're no chance then.

I can't see us beating Geelong if they have Darren Glass and Dustin Fletcher playing for them.

Wouldn't bother with Gus out of the square.

Having Lloyd back proves how much better we play when we have the confidence to bang it long.

I think they'd prefer kicking it to someone like Laycock, or if that fails Lucas.

 

[Longy413]

Better off trying Davey or Lovett out of the square than Monfries.

wasnt fletcher criticised for the last 6 years for taking the full forward and not the best forward.....

Pagan's paddock style? start everyone on the half forward line??

I thought that's what a full back generally did.

Not too bad of a idea in relation to lovett.

He's been played a few times out of the goal sqaure in the last year for parts of a game and he's always netted a goal out of it.

I'd expect to see it again this week.
