Players that need to be replaced

[BoundforGlory]

These players need to be replaced for us to move forward:

Lonie= so soft & I dont care if he can kick, he just cant play hard footy

Richards- worst ruckman in comp & FFS get rid of him!

Licuria- I love him, but his time is up. Just cant afford to have him in the team.

Bring in Bryan, **** & Ben Reid

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Would agree with most, but I think I'd give Danny Nicholls and Alan Toovey a place in the side for Licuria and Lonie. Nicholls for the role as a midfielder and Toovey to be used as a tagger who might actually mix it up in traffic.

D ick and Reid aren't ready yet.

Agree that on this weeks performance, I'd like to see Bryan get Richards' place though.

 

[M-Train]

Guy Richards is totally useless, has got no skills, we are playing with a man short with him on the ground, he needs to be dropped immediately!

Rhyce Shaw also had a pretty poor game aswell.

 

[Stakerz]

Sorry fellas, we can't drop everybody!

I really don't know who to drop.

The obvious one is Lonie but we may need his run for the big Perth oval, that's if he actually does run.

The other obvious one is Richards, but who knows who will play better out of Richards and Bryan?

Josh Fraser seriously needs to play up forward.

 

[didaka]

Richards is a liability. We looked much better obviously when Josh was in the ruck, but most of us would rather him not be there. Bring in Bryan.

Lonie did a good job blanketing Wells today and has earned another week. Not that Malthouse would drop him anyway, but he still put in the weak efforts. That saying i'm surprised he was close enough to Sinclair to cop the whack.

I think you can only play 2 of O'Bree, Licca and Burns, and O'Bree was good today, Burnsy is a player you never leave out, so i'm sorry Licca.

I was so impressed with O'Brien's first half. I havn't been sold on him, but today he went a long way to cementing himself in the side for the next few weeks.

That saying I think you'll see a 1 change maximum for next weeks squad.

Also Thomas proved today that not only does he have the X-Factor, but that he can win plenty of the ball as well. He was very good, and so was Pendlebury.

 

[Pedro]

I'm growing to really dislike Lonie, but the end result of today was that Wells was absolutely taken out of the game. Hard to criticise too much on todays effort.

I think R.Shaw was more disapointing than Lonie, one of the biggest perpetrators of our over handballing. Lonie at least beat his man, and a very dangerous man in Wells. R.Shaw let slip a couple of goals and overran the ball. 19 possesions is ok but needs more. If you actually watched the game Lonie actually put his head over the ball on more than one occasion. Lockyer, while his 4th quarter helped us win was shocking almost all game with his attack on the ball.

did you watch the game lonie was tagging wells.and what did wells do to hurt us?nothing so lonie did his job. you should look at the game and stay out of the bar

 

[Coin_Toss]

Nothing against Leon, I love him, but he needs to do more. I thought he was very quiet by his "lofty" standards, except for the goal he kicked in the first term, which was very speeeecial. He is at the stage of his career where he should be (literally) killing the opposition to pieces. Hopefully he will respond to the call and fire up next week.

Mind you, Licuria is skating on very thin ice as well.

 

[MarkT]

Given our list Lonnie is value. He has his limitations but he has done some good negating jobs and when he gets the chance he can hurt from 50m. Lonie is the least of our problems. If we can get a good enough list that he struggles for a game then well nad good but we don’t have that list. Richards on the other hand is a worry. I don’t think Bryan is the answer though so at this pint I’m happy to give Richards the opportunity to have a crack.

Lonie didn't take Wells out of the game, Wells did, he doesn't run near the footy and will NEVER be a superstar, Lonie is that f'n soft its not funny

 

[Jabso]

So if we had Wells in our 22 would you drop him?

ur pathetic mate

u spend all the off season having a whinge at anybody that dares to suggest that the pies may miss the finals

then after rnd 1, when we have a poor game but still come away with the points ur on here slagging off players

lonie was good, what did wells do???

ur remind me of a richmond supporter

 

[Therussian]

Do you dislike me or something Jabso.

you shoot down everything i say.

Wells isn't the player he's been made out to be, sure he is quick and elusive and has great skills, if he was that dangerous would we have Lonie on him?

he doesn't run near contests and isn't very football smart.

basically he is overated as a footballer.

He would get a game at Collingwood as we lack pace and skills, but he is not a star

wells is massively over-rated, but he has is the kangas spark.........think that sums up why the kangas are ****e

lonie has done some good blanketing jobs in the past on the likes of goodes, burton and b.johnson

like pretty much all the team except clement, lonie can improve next week

I was just interested in what you'd say to that, and I agree RE: Wells, some footy commentators are starting to wake up to him, Garry Lyon gave him a big blast post game.

I'm never going to convince anyone of Lonie but his hardness was definately on the improve, at least for today. The fact is I think he has a role to play, and he does his job. Sure he is a frontrunner, but you can't win the premiership with a team full of Licurias. You also need the players that damage other teams even if it is only when their team is playing well, like it or not they are often the reason why the team is playing well in the first place.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Its only the first game, and Richards needs time to play into form that he is capable of. Bryan should not be selected ahead of him unless he has form to justify it.

Lonie did a job. No reason to drop him.

Licuria's career is definitely at the crossroads. I thought Davis was also dissapointing. Its these two that will make way for whoever in the Willy team shows form.

 

[Jabso]

I would give Davis another chance but I agree with Timmy he was disapointing. Richards, I'd drop him but I'm not quite sure whether to play Bryan or to give Richards a chance just coz he needs all the games he can.

Davis won't be dropped anyway atm, especially against WCE who he has a bit of form against.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Davis will hold his spot until Didak's return, but at that point he might be under serious pressure from Brad D ick.

 

[magilla]

Im a bit concerned about rhyce shaw, the most un-co player in football. Have we got anybody to replace him though?

 

[Palmer Stoat]

I'm growing to really dislike Lonie, but the end result of today was that Wells was absolutely taken out of the game. Hard to criticise too much on todays effort.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not a Lonie fan, but yesterday was far from his worst performance.

And if Licca's not playing primarily as a mid, he shouldn't be playing at all.

 

[jerry springer]

we looked slow plain and simple

I dont think we will go too far with Licuria,O bree,Swan and Burns in the midfield,but alas that is who we are stuck with.All good players in their own right but lacking speed

Really need to keep with the theme of recruiting speedy players for a few more years to catch up to other sides.

The way we were getting smashed in the centre and out of the stoppages was disconcerting.A good side, with a decent attack would of smashed us by 10 goals

Don't put Swan in the same speed category as these guys. He is deceptively quick.

If we play Licuria he must play in the midfield only where he can do what he does best.

Rhyce Shaw will definitely play next week as he'll get the job on Judd. Don't worry if he doesn't touch the footy, just limit Judds'.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Lonie - Did some soft things, but, he showed he can tag a player that is a big chance pre-season for the Brownlow.

R Shaw - M-Train mentioned he was poor...what game was he watching, Rhyce wasn't in the best, but far from poor.

 

[jerry springer]

he was pretty average
