Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Adelaide

[Hatchy1992]

Hardeman needs to come in somehow.

He does. But it certainly shouldn't be at the expense of Lmac.

 

[Disco Dew]

Everyone calling for Lmac to be dropped don't see the lockdown job he does on his opponent. Rosas from 7 goals last week to 0 goals and 7 disposals this week.

He plays his role and does it well.

I’m 100% okay with this being his role. Just don’t let him have the ball, ever.

 

[Possession]

He does. But it certainly shouldn't be at the expense of Lmac.

In a just world he'd come in for Daniel, but we know that's not going to happen.

 

[winalotroos]

Hardeman must come in, LMac can should be dropped.

Lockdown or not the game is passing him by

 

[Reginald0]

Swans ran in waves and then had 3,fwd options one out They are a good side and play skilful intelligent football
They played smarter football than us
Parker got caught a few times Colby made some blues And our goal kickers choked
V good team performance

In: Hardeman
Out: Daniel

McDonald as frustrating as he is will be needed on Rankine/Rachele. He did a good job on Rosas today.

Against Adelaide we need defenders who actually defend.

More likely Blamires out than CD or LMac

We sure do seem to lose a lot of games considering how many players do their job or aren't the problem. I think the Powell change should highlight in crystal clear terms that the mix can change and needs to change. It's not the end of the world to have a different mix and you simply can't win games of football consistently nowadays with a dour backline that at best breaks even sometimes.

 

[Caracas]

On the face of it, Harvey seems to be consistently knocking the door down in the VFL. What’s the knock on him? In the past, he’s been serviceable in the AFL. 37 disposals today.

Think Kerch in the backline without the run and carry

Disclaimer that I clearly haven't seen today's VFL game because it was at the same time as the AFL game

But last week, Harvey's stats looked fantastic. But he legitimately had like 12-15 kicks on his stat sheet that were purely the result of being the designated kick-in guy against a Geelong team who were woefully inaccurate.

Not sure if today is a similar situation.

Outside of last week Rosas averages under 10 disp and under a goal. Last week was more of the anomaly than this week.

I haven't seen this week's game, but in the last few weeks he has been looking disciplined and classy.

Form has to be rewarded, or else why did we sign him?

We know who he has to come in for. I'm a fan of caleb, but it will not hurt him to have a week in the 2s.

Rosas last week was a career highlight game. averages 8 disposals and 1 goal.
He's not Eddie Betts.
Did Swans even look for him? seem to target the bigs.
LMAC 's defending is mostly OK, but main issues are with ball in hand, lack of pace, decision making and long bombs to no-one.
Today's game requires more good users on every line, he aint it. Hardeman can be that player.

 

[nelroo]

Hardeman HAS to come in ! Cooper too and I don't care for who.

 

[Ruckle]

Hardeman for Parker. Looked tired last two weeks.

 

[Makeshift Park]

I’d be happy keeping todays squad.

There was no one who played themselves out of a spot, imo. When Larkey’s a candidate for your worst player, you know it’s been a pretty fair team effort.

Agree it could be nice to have Hardeman and Lmac on Rankine and Rachele purely on a matchup basis.

Anyone know if Trembaths ok?

Ah, OK. That takes a bit of a shine off last week. Having said that, he couldn’t have kicked in more than nine times today. So, at worst, he still had about 30 disposals.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Hardeman for Parker. Looked tired last two weeks.

Was thinking same, but need him for one more week. Then he can rest against the quick Suns.

 

[tazaa]

Hardeman in.
Lets see who Clarko drops.

He is going to axe Blamires again this week isnt he.

He better not. Blamires was really reliable today.

I really like what he brings to the table.
