Preview R11: Changes vs Eagles

[1970crow]

Saying Hamill shouldn’t be selected over other players, and then saying other players are more deserving of being dropped instead of Hamill, are totally consistent views to have.

Plus the sensible discussion on structure and speed if it's Borlase replacing Hamill.

 

[1970crow]

I hope Schoenberg plays.


Would prefer McMurphy out. But expect both to play.


Reckon Burgess for Himmelberg makes sense. Although Gollant probably a better option for the future. Gollant pinch hit Ruck craft gets the job done, his forward craft a concern.


Rachele needs to step up this week. Own that Rankine midfield spot for next 3 weeks. Plus Schoenberg.


Worst outcome would be Rankine out increases Laird/Crouch midfield combo.


These two together doesn't work, and the reason Crouch ToG is around 65 to 70%.

Genuine chance we revert to 4 man midfield with Rachelle getting very little time in there.

I'd like to hope that the sting of losing youth like Dowling to another club due to lack of opportunity would be a wake-up call, but our club seems to be filled with 24 caret morons who won't see the forest for the trees.

You think AFL clubs would be queueing up at this point?

 

[adelaidecrows]

I was very meh about selection this week. Predictable, same old and boring.

Should have taken the opportunity to rest walker and laird.

BACCS post the other day said there are clubs circling.

How have Sydney gone from battling with us for 8th only a few months ago to the most dominant team in the competition this year?

Where have we gone wrong and they've gone right?

Its not far fetched to suggest he maybe getting some calls. May not be in demand, but there would be clubs out there looking to reinvigorate an ageing midfield with younger players cheaply.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Can't wait to see Crouch, Laird and Dawson all back in the CB midfield.

Good times ahead folks...!

That darn umpire!

Take your pick
A) Coach who knows what they are doing
B) Good assistants
C) Sound Game Plan
D) Good Selection Strategies
E) All of the above

They will beat up on West Coast and we can spend a week listening to the Happy Clappers, bragging about said result.

Agree but Weagles have brought back in Yeo.

A midfield of Kelly, Yeo and Reid wont be easy beats.....

Good!

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Don’t tell fibs now

Which part? The selection of Murphy and Hamill? Do you want the quotes from last week’s thread?

Or the match up on Josh Daicos?

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

I’m confused, you called someone Mr four touch two weeks ago then don’t mention them since.
Then claim someone who had 3 touches in a half was responsible for getting us back in it?

Against Poort Pear, Cook had 4 touches including ONE TOUCH after the 2 minutes mark of the first quarter. I said I had no problems if he was selected against Brisbane (11 touches).

On Saturday Cook played as a half forward (as did Murphy) for the first three quarters and was moved onto the wing when Sholl was subbed He had 14 touches and 3 score involvements. It is obvious to all (the cartel) that Cook played a Rippa and Murphy should be dropped?

Im so confused

Am I meant to be cheering or booing Yeo this week?

If he plays a blinder against us - we will probably increase our already supposed mega offer to him!

 

[skam85]

I’m confused.

Last week the Cartel screamed that the selection of Hamill (and Murphy) was a crime against humanity. This week they are outraged that Hamill might be dropped (imho he won’t) and barely a word about Murphy.

The cartel were catatonic when Sholl was subbed off (he was standing Josh Daicos in the first three quarters ) despite wanting him to be perma-banned all season.

that made up group of people really live rent free don't they old chap

Careful Skammer, 1970 will complain that you are ageist, old chap.

My god I feel bad for Dowling

Majority on this board have struggled to acknowledge Murphy actually had a good game against Collingwood. I am absolutely not a fan and did not agree with his selection to begin with, but need to give credit when due. I also didn't like the Hamill selection, but he was very good on Hill, that's why the Borlase inclusion makes zero sense.

Cook should be retained over McHenry too, actually thought he had his best game of the season as well.

At the game live and not being in a vegetative state on my couch watching it on the tellie while wiping twistie dust off my fingers (because you're supposed to mention this to seem cool to strangers on the internet) - Hamill was more than serviceable.

Murphy flashed in and out in the first half, did a couple of decent things, but as a leader did precisely the opposite to what a leader should do when the game was on the line, he disappeared.

That is unforgiveable, without even considering how mediocre he has been across the course of his career.

Sydney didn't bottom out, that's all it comes down to apparently

No just wondering why you aren’t calling out a senior experienced player for a shit half, when the game was up for grabs or do you just enjoy whacking a sub 20 game player?
A senior player should be judged far harsher than an inexperienced player.

I'd be happy for Hamill to replace Jones.
Chayce is having a stinker of a year

I would prefer Curtin on the wing. Jones out.

Hamill is showing good signs as an actual small defender.

Did well against Bobby Hill last week.
