Opinion Round 10 Changes vs. Adelaide

[heavho]

You sure three talls against Adelaide isn't one too many?

It prob would be but in saying that ibbotson and sutcliffe arnt exactly that small defender. They arnt exactly quick either. Adelaide has Tex walker, lynch and prob the new bloke that had a good first solid game greenwood down there

Spurr. Hamling. Ryan

Johnson. Collins. Weller

 

[mike91]

Hamling - Tex
Johnson - Jenkins (assuming and guessing they will bring him back)
Spurr - Betts
Sutty - Cameron
Ibbo - Lynch

That's my prediction. Can't see Collins being picked, can't see Ross dropping Ibbo against that forward line either.

Sutliffe on Cameron and Betts spurr > Cameron would be way too quick and betts the same

My opinion on who is in and out won't make a difference your right. It's how I would like to see the team but the match committee and coach are the ones that make the calls all we can do is have our opinion lol I would never play ibbotson and sutcliffe in my team. Ibbotson has done ok in the past but he is well and truely done and sutcliffe is basically the same type of player. Slowest reaction speeds in the team and as a defender it's those types of things that are essential

 

[Scham]

No change.

Sandi will need a rest soon though.

 

[Lach72]

Cameron and Betts scare the shit out of me.
If our mids don't more than split the contest, Ibbotson and Spurr will have a horrid afternoon

Yep, our back line is what it is, but our midfield needs to get on top in this one for us to have a chance.

 

[malpaso]

Whomever gets the job on Sloane needs to bury him. Stopping him goes a long way to winning the midfield battle.

 

[beetz]

Sutcliffe (Betts), Hamling (Tex), Johnson (Otten)
Weller (Cameron), Collins (Lynch), Ryan (Milera)

Although, I reckon Hamling would be a better match up for Lynch with Collins going to Tex.

Blakely to Sloane.
McCarthy to have a tough day against Talia but that only means Kersten and Taberner get off the chain a bit.

Trip to brisbane i reckon before the bye will be one i think sandi gets a rest

The bye is for resting players. Why would you rest anyone the game before the bye?

Understand your thought, but the previous poster also makes some sense in that it allows an extra week rest plus no long travel for the biggest and oldest ruckman in the comp who is still in our top 3 most influential players.

I was more thinking about the distance and the long flight to brisbane but yeah with the bye coming up the week after and the 2 week break they dont have to rest him i agree dont have to rest him from that game. I just have a feeling they probably wont bother taking him up there thinking they could cover him against a side like brisbane.

Ibbotson, Grey? When was Fyfe last dropped for the next match? Even though he's a star player.

Yep let's drop Fyfe... Did you actually think about that before you typed it?

The kid has elitekicking skills and his marking is better than Ibbo's also D Pearce is a shadow if the player he was in 2012-2015. Tucker is a better and younger version and don't lose out because he's a left footer

Pearce has been better than Tucker has in the 2 games he's played since coming back in. I'm all for playing the kids but make Tucker earn it, he looks lost at AFL level at times.

Agreed. Tucker will be good but Pearce gives us more at the moment. Tucker will get more games this year at some point.

 

[Gussman]

Rest Sandi and bring in Griffin. Then we could go for the record of most aboriginal players played in an AFL game (currently 7):
1 - B.Hill
2 - S.Hill
3 - Walters
4 - Griffin
5 - D.Pearce
6 - Hamling
7 - Johnson
8 - Grey

Would be cool to set the record in the indigenous round. Then we can also then call this our record-breaking season.

Or we could wait until after the bye and break it with Bennell's first game in purple

 

[footy4ever]

You guys are 5th!! WTF! When did that happen? Sneaky bastards!

I saw your first 2 games and had to look away, nek minnit, bang! there you are.

Any chance next season you could start your run BEFORE you play Port FFS?

 

[Sully90]

I'd drop Sutcliffe and Pearce before Ibbo and Spurr personally.

As for who to bring in, Ryan has to get rewarded soon. Ballas should come in if he's fit. If not then idk, Logue?

 

[bfff]

A new defender needs to be brought in soon so they can get half a season worth of games. Hughes has been the only player developing in the back line so far this year. Whether it's this week or next they have to try someone else asap.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Agreed. Tucker will be good but Pearce gives us more at the moment. Tucker will get more games this year at some point.

Yeah I rate the kid but his AFL performances haven't stood out so far. Sheridan dominates WAFL and isn't straight back in so I don't see why Tucker should.

Luke Ryan would be good.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Ballas did his hammy yesterday.

I'm hearing that it was just a corky.

 

[salim malik]

Corked hip I'm hearing.

 

[Tundrawolf]

Corked hip I'm hearing.

He won't play this week, but definitely a hammy (despite what the Freo spin doctors say!)

 

[salim malik]

I've heard both, the Hammy tweak from a Peel coach and the corky from a Freo coach. Take your pick .
