Round 6 Changes!

[melbourne150]

yes he is....neitz on lti list for 8 weeks and valenti promoted...

also the above team frawley at full back?

No he isn't....Bailey said nobody has been promoted and that they are leaving it open.(At Neitz press confrence earlier today)

He said there is people on the seniour list who would be picked before him so there is no point in promoting him, But if Valenti's form warented selection he would be promoted.

I will wait for your apology.

We should play Frawley at centre half back on Brown. Give the kid some good experience at AFL level. How else is he gonna learn? At least at CHB, physicality isn't as important as it is a FB, so it will come down to his ability to stay with Brown on the lead.

Carroll can stay at full back, which allows Rivers to play his preferred role as third man up. Will be interesting to see if Bailey considers playing Holland. Like I said, I'd prefer to give the task to a young bloke rather than someone on their last legs.

Bell - Carroll - Wheatley
Rivers - Frawley - Sylvia
Davey - Jones - Bruce
Dunn - Miller - Green
Robertson - Newton - Wonaeamirri
White - McDonald - McLean

Moloney - Morton - Bartram - Jamar​

I don't think we need a direct replacement for Whelan. When you look at that side, we've bought in Newton and Miller, while losing Whelan and Neitz. Yet we still have enough defenders, plus Bruce, Dunn and Bartram in other areas who can also chip in.

Give Miller another shot at CHF and see what he can do. Newton is a must with Neitz out. No better time to see if he has what it takes than right now. Hopefully he can make some contests and give Robertson, Wonaeamirri, Davey and Green some crumbs.

Praise the good lord, someone with some forward thinking. Spud Frawley should play key position all year as rivers cannot hold an opponent and plays better as our third tall.

If holland is promoted to play in defence i'm going to refuse to watch the game, why bother? Give the kid some experience. Why bother with Holland at all, he’s only on our list because he’s still in contract

The only thing i will argue with is your physicality thing. Frawley, in the short time he spent on Fev on Sunday, did pretty well in one on one's, i'd even say he won a few wrestles. Fevola is appartently 100 kg, so how he gets out muscled by an apparently 82kg kid(according to the mfc website) is anyones guess. Even in that short time, he seemed to handle the physicality better then Carroll.

So why not try frawley on bradshaw, to whom he's more evenly matched for size, and let Carroll & rivers double team brown.

The only issue with that is that bradshaw is white hot and on top of that has kicked something like 16 goals in his past 2 games against Melbourne. But what better test for Frawley.

I say Bailey should "zac dawson" him. It'll show us if he has what it take or needs more time.

I like ur line up, minus Newton from vairous reports he has gotten injured or suspended. Even if fit i wouldn't want him in the side. Would love to see valenti come in for wheelan (dont think it will happen tho) and miller is obvious for nieta. But could be a chance but think he will be saved for next week, have a bad feeling that Garland will find his way into the team some how someway.

I wouldn't mind Garland getting another shot, he's burnt at Sandy two weeks in a row and done everything he can to push for selection. I'd prefer though that this time around he's given game time up forward. We've all noticed how lost at sea he seems down back, give him a shot playuing as an attacking forward. He's got a good kick on him, and while he's still a skinny little thing, he's got a bit of height.

Bate is the EMERGENCY!!! Put him in for gods sakes.

 

[melbournemartin]

They really seem to be persisting with Garland. Hopefully it pays off. Buckley should be back soon hopefully.

 

[melbourne150]

WTF, Why isn't Bate in the team??

If Bate is fit enough to play and he doesn't Bailey is a F***WIT, It's obvious Garland is one of his faveroutes...
