News Round 11 Team vs Swans

[Darealrath]

I reckon Howlett will miss with Welsh straight back in.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Howlett if it's wet, Atkinson if it's dry?

Btw, you better be going ot this match, Spikey.

 

[Phone]

Nope. Money issues.

Probably for the best, I really have to spend all weekend doing school work. Didn't do anything last week like I was supposed to and I've barley done anything during this week

 

[Macca18]

Pretty decent side on paper but still got a feeling we'll probably drop this one, but would love to be proven wrong...

The boys know how to win in Sydney and fingers crossed it isn't too wet...

 

[Knight Ryders]

The SCG is the perfect oval for Welsh to play and Howlett for that matter. For that reason and it's wet:

Out: Fletcher
In: Welsh

 

[zacka123]

I hope Lovett-Murray won't be played as a half back.

 

[beev]

Two changes

In: Welsh, Melksham
Out: Fletcher (suspended), Howlett (omitted)

B: Hocking Pears Dempsey
HB: McVeigh Lovett-Murray Myers
C: Jetta Watson Winderlich
HF: Monfries Gumbleton Prismall
F: Hille Hurley Davey
R: Ryder Stanton Lonergan
INT: Zaharakis Melksham Welsh Atkinson

EMG: Colyer T.Slattery Howlett

I think if it's a wet game, welsh won't be so much of a liability. probably a good inclusion.

Very strange for mine to drop Howlett,
1. on a small ground
2. against the swans
3. in a wet game, where his tackling and in and under stuff will be essential.

Would have left him in this week for Melksham, but hopefully I am proven wrong.

This.

 

[Kaan]

Great Welsh gets a free ride as usual

 

[james_omahoney]

Welsh = worst selection error all year.

So frustrated. Rest of the team selections are good

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Woah.

It may kill me to say it, but Welsh was playing pretty decently in the game he got suspended in. We'll also need his mature (no homo) body on the small SCG ground in the rain.

Willo kicked 4 in the game he got injured in.

But no, Welsh has to come straight back in.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Willo kicked one v WC, no?

 

[Kaan]

No my mistake, was the game before that.

 

[Koutafidamedis]

DT related question... was howlett dropped due to form or more due to structure/better players suited for this game?

Going by his DT scores (haven't seen much of him) i'm assuming he won't be out for too long.

thanks in advance

 

[Tex200]

This is not a DT enquiry.

Can anyone give a quick blurb on how T Slattery is fairing. I see he is an emer. this week so assume his form must be ok and he is knocking on door. His 2 year deal up at end of this year so hope he gets a chance to prove himself.

Cheers

He's knocking on the door, but spots are hard to come by atm.

Yeah, but straight in? For me it's a bit of a Mark Taylor situation. If you're out of form and getting games regardless, eventually you hit a score. Taylor should have been dropped well before he hit 334*, and Welsh should have been dropped before the game in which he was suspended, for mine. I also reckon he's not great for team balance. I just don't want to mess around with our winning formula at the moment.

 

[silk]

I think it's good to be rotating the players a bit, that said, don't know how I feel about Welsh's selection. I think that he will offer more then Howlett though, but that is dependent on his fitness.... I will fence sit this one

 

[Kong]

Welsh coming straight back in was inevitable, so while I'm disappointed, I'm not surprised at all.

I can only hope he's replaced as Vice Captain at year's end, so he can see our his final year without getting unwarranted games.

You think he'll go to GWS?

 

[Kong]

I think if he keeps playing the way he has for 18 months, and our younger players keep getting better, he'll do the team thing and either ask for a trade or retire, Mark Bolton style.
