Preview R10: Changes vs. Collingwood

[AFC979810]

Changes I would make:

Outs: Berry, Taylor (Milera to Sub).

Ins: Pedlar, Draper

Move Cumming to HBF.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Outs: Taylor

This won’t happen, especially given the job he did on Rozee in the second half

 

[GreyCrow]

We arent ever resting Tex now

We know he is cooked, the club knows and Tex knows

So they will let him limp to 300 - nothing surer

The only time he will be rested is if we are guaranteed 2 games in finals

 

[Jcpdragonx]

can’t see nick’s beating fly.

Omitting Milera and Curtin just bad changes.

Happy to give Curtin a rest.

Give him one week off to freshen him up and then give him a much bigger role against West Coast the following week.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Tell me, is Keane going to be suspended for his kicking report?

I don't think so
A fine maybe

 

[Stephen2]

I'm on the rotate the squad bandwagon.

For example, Tex. It's easy to think we can't rest him vs Pies as we need our "best team" out there, but reality is the way he's playing he won't do anything vs Pies and we still won't have rested him.

OUT:
Walker (Rest)
Curtin (Rest)
Soligo (Rest)

IN:
Pedlar FWD
Draper GUTS
Dowling WING

Bring 'em back after 1 week though, physical/mental refresher, no SANFL I don't think.

And pls let's rotate more guys through the middle, esp. if they are tagging Dawson/Rankine, they can be dangerous outside of the middle.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Ins: Dowling
Out: Curtin

Curtin needs a break. Dowling is ready to go and needs AFL games.

 

[FR0GGY]

Zero chance

 

[119others]

Out: Milera
In: Draper

Cumming to half back, Curtin wing, Berry and Draper full games, Taylor sub maybe?

Why would you drop Milera after his body of work in the last month? Many worse performers - Nank, Curtin,,Draper when playing

I seriously don’t get the Milera hate on this board. Was in coaches votes last weekend,

Walker needs to go. I dont mean permanently but I think he needs not only a break but we need to start seeing a post walker era in action and Nicks and the club need to see it so he can experiment with it.

Playing the easiest role on the ground

Needs to do more

Should also apologise to the team for his howler Q4. Single-handedly gave Port a ticket back into the game

And this is supposedly one of our experienced players. Can't have your senior players making rookie mistakes in season 10 or whatever this is

I actually didn’t think he was too bad outside his absolute howler, then let the bloke who got it turn inside him and another crow at halfback.
His metres gained are pretty low, when I reckon he could be a far bigger m gained player.
Nank had more tonight.

its called SNTS

Shiny new toy syndrome

people just want new players for the sake of new players. Its kind of pathetic. Its like the obsession with Draper. He has done ****all to deserve his spot but was given so many chances. We have Dowling and Edwards who easily deserve a spot above Draper right now. But everyones obsessed with Milera being outed and playing Draper

 

[1970crow]

Tex seems to be really labouring now, give him a rest for a week - he has to be managed through this year.

He has to get to 300, that is the priority.

 

[1970crow]

He can barely run.

So you're saying we should play him in the stoppages rotation?

When Milera played the role we're asking Draper to play, he was utterly hopeless

Thanks Froggyman, very reasonable response (as per normal)

agree Milera was underwhelming last night but had had a very good few weeks before this, not sure why so many jump on him immediately

It becomes a pattern.

Seriously? Apologise? What about all of Dawsons errors in recent weeks. Does he also apologise? And I agree last night was underwhelming after a very good few weeks. Wasn’t he in coaches votes last week? Other players - who I rate highly long term - like Curtin get all the love despite averaging less than 10 possessions per game over extended periods. Last night he hardly touched it

Jnr often gets the ball under immense pressure - clearly identifiable when watching the replay - and is probably best in our team (or close to) at one grabbing, showing composure and distributing accurately to a good option.

Will gladly cut off someone’s kahunas (ideally not my own) if he gets dropped this week.

Mainly good games, yep agreed mate

He needs to be consistent.

His m gained are pretty low in general though.
