Post your thoughts here.

Next week out, last quarter of this week in

 

[Seppo]

Just had a thought that Fyfe intentionally tried to get suspended to clear his points and miss this game against Brisbane. Anyone know what he's on?

Fyfe Susp?

Ballas fit?

No obvious choice for the outs, so if Ballas is fit maybe Taberner is unlucky but I thought he was really good (especially in the 2nd half)

Only 6.25, may get off with a reprimand but have 80+ carry over points

If Fyfe is suspended, out Fyfe in Ballas.
If not, out Duffy, in Ballas

Tabs has to stay , provided a contest and won some crucial 1 on 1s.

 

[Dudley Leopard]

If Fyfe is suspended, out Fyfe in Ballas.
If not, out Duffy, in Ballas

I like this

Morabito is also a chance to come in.

Most likely outs are Duffy or Crozier, although Mayne's spot must come into question at some point, especially now that we have a genuine 2nd tall.

I wouldn't of thought that point would be now, considering he just played a great game.

Mayne out? What?

Was fabulous today.

Ignoring the doubt over Fyfe I think it's pretty obvious to be Ballas for Duffy.

A great game?

You are a very kind marker.

13 disposals and no goals isn't a great game by anyone's standards, not even Mayne's.

Kinda shows that the stat sheet means jack shit doesn't it?
His impact has always been stuff the stats don't show.

I've put up with a lot of stupid people on this site, but you sir take the cake, Mayne just played a selfless, body on the line defensive game and was a barometer for our tackling pressure, and you want him out of the side next week.

That's what people said about Suban too.

Stats mean a fair bit.

I don't "want" him out of the side. This is a thread about changes to the team. It would be lovely if we could play all our players, but we can't.

Did you even watch the game or just look at the stats sheet? Mayne was working his ass off applying pressure around the forward half and playing as that link up player to get the ball into the 50. How about pay attention and you will see why he's one of Ross's first picked players.

Crap. Did you watch the game or are you just looking at stats? That was clearly one of his best games this season. Accredited 6 tackles but many more pressure acts. Reading your comments these last few months, I feel that you sometimes have skewed thoughts just to get a reaction. This is a prime example.

Missed a mark or two but did put some big hits on, including Mitchell who seemed to, rather uncharacteristically, have a second look and fumble a bit in the second half. The unseen factors that give and take momentum

 

[Admiral Byng]

Don't know yet, but I feel we must send over our strongest team. We need a big win over Brisbane to build out percentage, so that even of we lose to Port the following week we are still ahead of them on percentage.

 

[hotchips81]

Hard to see Fyfe not copping a week or two...

 

[Miltz]

Maynes pressure was amazing. Will not lose his spot. Anyone who thinks Crozier will be dropped is out of their mind. His offensive play and defensive pressure was excellent.

Ballaz for Duffy the only change. RTB will look to settle the line up heading in to September.

Silvagni was very good at hitting the contest..

One thing that was evident today was that we have gone for speed. I love MDB and Subes and think they are great players, but speed is the key in today's game.

Yes I watched the game. Mayne was awful in the first half. Improved in the 2nd but the fact is that with Taberner having cemented a spot for at least the next 2 weeks, Mayne's spot just became more tentative.

People like you were saying the exact same things about De Boer and Suban last week. And calling me stupid for saying they were a chance to be dropped, just as you are now. The fact is that Mayne has had little impact all year, and is a chance to be dropped. I don't think he will be yet, but he's certainly on the verge.

I can deal with a week. Need him for Port.

I know you aren't very smart, but I'm not going to hold back any more. People have been giving it to me here all year. If you think Mayne is an automatic selection based on today's game then you are an imbecile.

What does Taberner playing well have to do with Maynes spot? Maynes not a key forward. And you call me an imbecile pfft.
