Opinion Round 14 Changes vs. Brisbane

Dawson in trouble for that knee to Jack?

Nothing in it.

 

[Seppo]

Crowley copped a boot tohis left hand and it swelled up like a balloon. Saw it after the game and it looked nasty. Should be right for next week though.

 

[Nothing]

Which raises an interesting question for the board. What is the collective noun for a group of Pearces?

On this board (with our injokes) surely a closet of Pearces.

 

[stormee]

An out of Pearces.

 

[slicedndiced]

Dawson in trouble for that knee to Jack?

Yep.

They will definitely look at it.

He'll get a week.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

With Pearce as the emergency too.

Pearce Off!

 

[Freo Shark]

A pod of Pearces?

A Tattoo of pearces

 

[Allikat]

Out: D Pearce
In: Crozier or Mora

I like Crozier, I want him to get more chances! He'll only get better with more AFL footy.

Salim has just come back from the Peel game and posted in the WAFL thread.

No chance D.Pearce out. He want good today, but RTB sticks by his players. Spurr had four or five bad games in a row without being dropped. D.Pearce will survive after playing one bad game.
Most likely unchanged with Mora seemingly well held at WAFL level this week. If Dawson is suspended Bradley comes in.
No chance Sutcliffe to be an 'out' either. The win today was a much better performance then most here are saying. We had to completely re-gig our defence, playing at a ground we rarely play at.

 

[Gekko71]

I kind of like a brace of Pearces.

A prick of pierces
A sherrin of pierces
A shaft of pierces
A sub of pierces

...a thrust of pierces...

A Clancy of pierces

...I dunno - give me a minute, others will come to me...

 

[theGav56]

An overflow of Pearces.

 

[Purple_Passion]

Morabito to come in hopefully for Sheridan; I'm a little worried of a surprise drop for D. Pearce. Coach clearly not happy with his output. I thought his early pressure was great but then fell away.

RTB to stick with Pearce, he was sick all week as was Suban (mentioned it in his press conference)

Out - Sheridan
In - Mora

Mora - Sub

Mora obviously comes in from his form in the WAFL game today.

fair dinkum.

I am mystified every week when I think about putting Sutcliffe in my votes and then at least one every week calls for him to be omitted.
His run is just exemplary and he takes most of the kick-ins now. He defends well and sets up a lot of attack. He's cool headed, had excellent judgment and a penetrating kick. Rarely makes a mistake in tight. Whats not to like?

 

[E Shed]

Just on Morbito I heard Ross say last week somewhere that they have been banging extra work into him on the track and that probably has an effect on his ability to perform on game day so I wouldn't be too worried if he had a quiet one. Pav said after the match that he would need at least 1 or 2 efforts like last week before being considered so I would suggest this is not the week. Sylvia deserves a chance to start and Ross seems to love Sherro.

Muppets focusing on one turnover and being mentally unable to turn the focus off or understanding his role and the pressure that most of his disposals are under.

Yeah I really don't get it either..

 

[The Speaker]

Sutcliffe and Neale are the begninning of the changing of the guard.

They would have to play horrendously for a month to be dropped.

They are both just such lovely natural footballers with maturity beyond their years. What bargains they were makes it all the sweeter!

Indeed. Some of Neale's positioning today and his reading of the play was outstanding.

His disposal improves every week with confidence.

he is a little gem.

 

[Pusswah]

I need to pay more attention but Sutcliffe is striking me as very average

 

[Kram]

He's no star but he's no dud either, definitely best 22 and should only get better at his age.

 

[simpsonwillo]

Peter Piper picked a pek a pickled Pearces

To be fair Sutcliffe had an ordinary run around the same time we had a couple of back to back 6 day breaks. His game against North was his worst for the year, and while I know what you mean sliced about taking one bad kick as a ridiculous example of saying he had a bad game, (Fyfe missed a lot of targets today and most had him BOG) it's also his role as a distributor. Back to it though, Sutcliffe is still getting in to AFL and considering some of our most experienced players were down against Sydney and North you can definitely let him off for that.

How you could have him as a possible out for his last month however I have no idea. He's been consistently very solid, sometimes outstanding. Thought he was really good today. Did a huge amount of work and used the ball really well in an unsettled backline where he could have easily got a bit lost. Not an out.
