Round 5 Vs GWS

In: Lake, Markovich
Out: Austin, Cordy

Also in the frame: Liberatore and Smith

 

[cleveland]

In Lake, Markovic

Out Gia Cordy

 

[tonydean]

Outs: Gia, Cross (won't happen), Cordy, Addison.
Ins: Skinner, Lake, Liberatore, Tom Hill.

 

[Testekill]

I would actually leave Markovic out. Not any slight against him but Williamstown plays Port Melbourne this weekend and he or Austin would be very valuable for the Seagulls to have running about for them.

Gia out of course. He was just shocking today.

He'll play next week, kick 5 easy goals and cement his spot for the rest of the year again. Happens all the time. I'd love to see him dropped next week.

 

[Sharkey66]

Out Gia Addison Wood.
In Lake Libba Marko.

Would like to see three talls down back, and Gia just hasn't done enough to justify his spot.
And before everyone jumps to his defense, its no longer 2011. He needs to produce.

 

[adam10]

OUT: Gia(form/rest....), Austin(little stiff, will get more chances), Cordy(need a natural FF)

IN: T.Hill(perfect chance to try him against GWS), Lake(always coming back in), Dickson(never really deserved to be dropped, worth a try against GWS)

If it was up to me Libba would come in for Cross also but I do not see that happening.

 

[Interloper]

Ciao: D Giansiracusa
Out: Cordy, Cross(rotational)
In: Lake, Hill, Liberatore

 

[doggies ftw]

Dickson in for Gia, Libba in for Cross, Hill in for Cordy and Lake in for Austin.

Also would like Smith to come back in soon as well!

 

[wian]

there is no way Cordy should be dropped ! What are people thinking FFS !


Drop Gia first ! And Austin next, purely because Lake is a better player and we need to win ...

 

[Butane]

People saying Addison should be dropped.......

Agree something needs to be done about Gia though. Maybe sub him for a game like they did with Higgins. I think that'll benefit him just as it will Higgins.

 

[Ziebellion]

Surely Clay was picked being from the start as a best 22 player cant see much has changed.

Higgins, Gia might find the axe or might kick 5 goals next week

 

[Butane]

Surely Clay was picked being from the start as a best 22 player cant see much has changed.

Smith will be given chances this year as a young player and we need to develop them but he's certainly not an automatic 'in'. I'd say he's in our best 26 players and we'll be rotating the youngsters depending on form and match ups. #hurtsfantasycoaches

 

[1961grandfinal]

Dickson in for Gia

Makes sense, bring in a first season player for someone who is equal #5 on score assists since the stat was first recorded. Only players in front of gia are gablett, harvey, judd, power and he is equal with black. Poor company there, obviously he doesn't deserve a game and never has.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story!

 

[LondonBulldog]

Players are picked on form not past performances or stats

Gia was rubbish tonight and has been average all year. He is showing the signs on an ageing player.

His position should be looked at just as any other player's is.

Just because he has goal asssits does that give him two years guaranteed in the seniors? I hope we only signed him for 1 year. Been a good player but its time to move on.

 

[Ziebellion]

Surely higgins dropped before Gia especially considering we know higgins body and how hes struggled with his groins/hips/ankles over the years a complete rest cant hurt.

I expect a tall in cordy to get rested. Austin makes way for Markovic. Then you have Lake who takes cordys spot and Rough goes back to his normal ruck/forward role.

Dickson/Smith/Skinner/Libba for Higgins

So you are happy with the way he performed tonight are you? You liked the way he went to ground so convincingly I suppose? Or maybe it was his great leg speed that won you over? And it hasnt just been tonight, all season and the majority of last season, you cant just keep someone in the side for 2 years because in the past they have been high in a stat...

That is probably one of the worst posts I've read on bigfooty in a while to be honest.

I have never been a hater of Gia I just think it is obvious to EVERYONE that he needs a spell, and how do you possibly get "He has never deserved a game" from "Dickson in for Gia" ???

Obviously you accept mediocrity.

Also it shouldnt matter whether it is a first year player or a 350 game veteran, it should matter on form.

Has absolutely nothing to do with his form. He has been shocking, and was so again tonight. He needs a kick up the bum.

We are a better team with him in there, when he is playing well. Seems a bit of complacency has set in though, and just needs to be show he has to work for his spot.

 

[gimp!]

Quit living in the past.

 

[JTCWBFC]

This is what I would like to see, probably very unlikely though.

Outs: Gia, Cross, Cordy, Austin
In: Hill, Liberatore, Lake, Markovich

I really want the dogs to start developing a spine they can build around.

I didn't want to get rid of Cordy but I want a natural FF (Hill) in there, not a resting ruck.

Leave Cordy to keep learning in the VFL and fight for the second ruck spot with Rough - it is healthy competition.

I really liked having DJ and Sherman in the Forward 50 today to add some bite when the ball hit the deck. Hooper performed well for Willi today from reports so he could be circling if he keeps up current form.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[atomicfootball]

What ever happened to Jason Tutt? He might be a suitable replacement for Gia.

Hurt his hammy again playing for Willi last week. Plays a lot more up the ground than Gia anyway. HBF/Wing.

 

[Sharkey66]

Hammy, should be back for Willi in next week or two from reports.
We need him back in seniors.

 

[VitalDread]

out: Gia
In: Hill (since he has kicked 9 of the past 3 VFL games)
