Preview Round 5 - Changes vs Port

[HoneyBadger35]

Unchanged if Jetta’s not right. If he is right, although we looked a little tall, it would be a poor call to drop Rotham after that.

In: Jetta
Out: Duggan/Masten

Another pretty average WAFL game from the would be midfielders, Duggan unlucky but someone has to come out if we want to keep the same breakdown of backs/mids. If not, Masten lifted late but it’s probably his time if Rotham stays (which he should).

Edit: Apparently it’s going to piss down next week. Sorry Roth, we’re too tall. Jetta for Roth.

Out: Masten
In: Jetta
Duggan plays as a mid

 

[bUCKET__]

No way Rotham stays if Jetta is fit. We need Duggan and Cole who attack the ball with desperation.

Love what Rotham has done these two games, and he's going to play a lot of games for us. But there's no space right now.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Out: Masten

Duggan plays as a mid

Not particularly keen on trying that again, he’s found a great role in defence.

 

[Smeg Head]

If it does properly piss down, would drop a tall for a small.

 

[Godfather32]

Not particularly keen on trying that again, he’s found a great role in defence.

We've turned so many potential mids into flankers it's time we turned one back into a mid. Besides I'd rather play Duggan as a mid than watch him play in the WAFL and Rotham needs to stay in the team

 

[Doashuey]

There were quite a few players worse the Masto out there tonight wearing blue and gold. I think he is safe.
Rotham looks composed but so could see a shuffle to keep him in if Jetts is right which may fall on.Mastos head but safe money is on him retaining his spot.
Hickey is a liability in slippery conditions.

 

[omgfridge]

It's a very harsh Rotham out for Jetta if fit.

Duggan/Masto both good tonight.

All depends on injuries. Least we know we have guns ready.

 

[kerrazy]

I didnt watch him play but **** it I think it's time to see what Mallen is capable of. If not now, then when??

Out: Masten (I am done with him. As someone who should be our link up specialist he is not very good at it this year. Can barely crack 15 possessions, looks god awful slow, cannot break a tackle nor lay one, turns the footy over)

In: Mallen

 

[Seadog]

Oscar might get a rest, Masten is living on the edge. We missed Jetta's kicking, so he comes back in and maybe Waterman as well. Dunno who makes way for Jetts.

 

[rexj]

Yes. Change the day it's on. The forecast is rain and storms. Whoever shows up might get drenched or get struck by lightning from the heavens.

Why would we give Oscar Allen a rest when he was the only one in our forward line who could actually take a mark

 

[bUCKET__]

Out - Lycett
Time to see what Giles has got

 

[squashface]

I thought Rotham was very good.

Unsure who goes out for Jetta but if he’s fit then he’s in the side.

Hickey is a liability in slippery conditions.

Masten 16 touches from 87% TOG.
He's not getting his hands on it for a few games now.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Lel, let the Masten hate consume you.

He stays.

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Out: Vardy, Rotham

In: Mallen, Jetta

I get that port have the two rucks but we are way too tall, Vardy is playing like shit and we need more run and grunt. Debut Allen ffs and bring in a gun ball user even if it’s wet

If it's gunna be raining, I actually like this a lot.

Yeah they’d be my changes if it’s a wet deck.

Might even give Cameron a debut instead of Mellen, I reckon a wet game would suit him.

 

[kerrazy]

Lel, let the Masten hate consume you.

He stays.

He is averaging 14.8 disposals this season.

Do you think that's enough from him?

Honestly I'm starting to think that anything from our reserves team would be better then that.

Allen?
Brander?
Nelson?
Ah chee?

His position, and other positions in the side, aren't based solely on numbers. That's very simplistic. His endurance and running patterns enable us to play our premiership-winning style. He stays.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

No changes
Jetta can have an extra week.

Play like we did tonight and we will lose to Port.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Play like we did tonight and we will beat Port after the siren again.

[woosha24]

Out: Vardy, Rotham

In: Mallen, Jetta

I would swap Vardy for Hickey, but overall I agree. If its p*ssing with rain then drop a tall. Gov can pinch-hit.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

You guys shouldn’t be mad at Masten, you should be mad at the people underneath who can’t dislodge him.

Matt Allen had a decent day today but isn’t quite right for Masto’s role and aside from that we’ve had two very uninspired weeks of WAFL midfield play.

It’s very beneficial for us that a young mid shines and dislodges Masten, that’s so much better for us long term, so don’t think anybody who defends Masto is doing it because we think it’s some sort of long term benefit to the team. Don’t get shitty at Masten for continuing to get a game, get mad that we’ve got a bunch of kids in the WAFL not seizing a very wide open opportunity.
