Preview R11: Changes v Richmond

[Golumless]

not really far off it though. This weekend, my only preferred changes are Mackay and Kelly out for Hamill and Worrell. I can make a case for Kelly remaining though. It's really only selecting Mackay that is mystifying given we're meant to be in a rebuild and he's keeping out Hamill.

I mean, the rest is ok. It's a good blend of youth and experienced guys.

I could live with Worrell not coming in for Kelly this week. I don't have a lot of time for Kelly as a footballer, but dropping him on his 100th week when he hasn't been horrible is a tad too cold for me. Mackay should have gone to the sub as a case of "oh look, our best 22 player has responded in the SANFL, time to go back to your station" move.

 

[Golumless]

Who else should be the sub? The best 22 shouldn’t change after last game, so who else gets the gig?

The answer for the sub, every week, starts and ends at Mackay. Unless if he's injured, in which case you just play Mackay as the sub and don't activate him. The only other person you should consider is Ben Davis, because we're delisting him at seasons end, but honestly David would offer a lot more in the role because he's an old guy who has been there and done that.

You're in a rebuild, and the sub is not a role that helps anyone in our situation. It should only be given to people who won't be on our list next year.

 

[Golumless]

It’s a stretch, Hamill isn’t struggling from a lack of game time either.

He is missing most of, if not all of a game that he wouldn't of otherwise.

That's not helping a kid who is building to get back into our lineup. That just means we're wasting more time until Hamill is back in the best 22, where he should be this week.

never change a winning team hey? The dumbest, most infantile and simplistic belief ever put forward with regards to selection strategy. So you'd not have Tex return if we'd beaten west coast? Or had Sloane missed this week with gastro, you keep him out too. Don't be an idiot, they'd be straight back 8n each and every time. So don't talk rubbish.

After a win like that unchanged is fair.

The issue I have with having Hamill sub this week is that our selection committee will automatically rule a line through his name for next week due to lack of continuity (gametime). In essence he's being punished for his standout game in the SANFL last week - McPherson by default becomes more of a chance of getting an AFL game next week.

If a winning side can be made better do it

little too cerebral for baccs. He'd not have tex or Sloane return this week if they missed last week. He's welded to not changing a winning team.

As always, underwhelming selections or lack of. We need to get passed 'you cant change a winning team' this what exposed us in 2017. We just needed to find a way to squeeze in Hamill for Mackay.

Mackay was one of our best players last week, by replacing him with Hamill we aren’t making the winning side any better. This board just loves to complain, even after one of the best wins this club has ever had, it’s exhausting.

I made no reference to any player , just a statement

Mackay. Excellent fit for a sub role.

Mackay did some alright things but if you think he was one of our best last week youre delusional.

And at the end of the day.. Even if mookay was our best on ground last week... playing him in front of Hamill is the *n dumbest s**t a rebuilding club could do.

Just a ridiculous waste.

There is no upside in selecting McKay. He’s a stop gap for a gap that doesn’t need to be filled.

I'm pretty sure this photo was taken when Tex became our leading goalkicker for 2020 - kicking his 15th (and final) goal of the season.

 

[1970crow]

Never in doubt.

I reckon the shame of winning leading goalkicker with 15 is what spurred to him on for this year. That was one afternoon out for Mods.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Best players wowee. He was better but still full of turnovers. Is that all we can hope for of a 200 game player? That's probably the first time he has played to an acceptable level all year.

It's simple, his last month as a whole was awful and Hamill had a game in the SANFL that deserves to be rewarded.

I'm 90% sure Hamill will be sub.
Can't change a winning team and all....

This bloke was spot on. Well played sir.













Oh wait, it was me.

Chance Jones named at CHB and Murray in the pocket.... Why can’t they list them where they’re actually going to play?

Well, positionally, in the modern game, that's basically where they will line up.

One of our best wins, that’s ridiculous!

The Bored Member from Port McDonnell only had a handful of posts in the GBU against Melbourne. A couple re the free that Melbourne should have received, one praising Oliver and a couple pointing out how poor Sloaney played in the first three quarters.

Not a single comment about the good things done by our KIDS or the great efforts of our handful of experienced players. Not even worth a comment from 1970Crow but fifty posts a week about the disgrace of playing Mackay are his usual valuable contribution.

Not to worry, I am sure the posts will come thick and fast after we lose to the reigning Premiers.
