Strategy Round 7, 2023: Changes vs Carlton

[Priddis Is Done]

Have you heard about his knee injury? Medial ligament. Still a couple of weeks away.

No

Ahh man

 

[Grahame]

What’s the point of flicking Trew and O’Neill in and out of the side every week?
Neither of them get a chance to establish themselves.
Would have preferred Trew, O’Neill has had lots of chances.
Pointless.

This.

 

[Godfather32]

No

Ahh man

Injured it against freo, think someone fell across it

 

[FKASC]

give the kids a few games in row ffs. Then sack them

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Didn't realise it was that bad. Plus ddnt hear any updates.

Bugger

 

[new breed]

Damn Carlton have Saad and Docherty back for Carlton probably two of their best ......WC to find it tough now .

 

[Bacchus]

give the kids a few games in row ffs. Then sack them

Especially when there is only 26 to choose from.
Winning is hardly the main goal, and swapping these guys in and out is not going to move the dial as far as that goes but does have an effect on them.
Now it’s Trewies turn, now X’s, I wish Westie would get a go outside the 22.

Now?

 

[Crimson King]

Would have preferred Bazzo got a game over Rotham.

 

[Alesana]

The bloke didn't touch the ball in the entire first half. XON might not be much better, but it's not like Trew has really shown anything in any of his games so far.

I'm nitpicking here but he did get a couple of possessions, just didn't get a disposal away and was stiff not to get a free

 

[Doashuey]

Unless there is a niggle we aren't aware of, dropping Trew after one game for Xon who as not shown anything greater in his few chances this year is pretty poor selection IMO. Do I think it will make a difference? Ergo, do I GAF? Not really.

 

[bh90210fan]

That O’Neill over Trew call could cost us finals this year

 

[Kempy the legend]

Don't know what to think of Petch? Used to be the speedy seagull, had moments or games where he's performed well, but not consistent. Has been with club long enough to prove himself, but in fairness has had injuries and interrupted seasons. Needed to be a more complete player not just a one trick pony. He might get a chance over next few games or this season? Besides, we need every soldier at present. Otherwise maybe you can't turn a sows ear into a silk purse?

Mate how many years has he been riding on one decent game? Give a young guy a chance

 

[Shuestar13]

Well, can’t say XON hasn’t been given a chance. Could be it now…
Trew should have stayed in (at least getting a full game). He hopefully will get another opportunity, soon.

 

[THE A5]

That O’Neill over Trew call could cost us finals this year

Fold the club

 

[THE A5]

I like Xon and like many other fringe 2nd or later around young mids we’ve had that have come and gone recently, he’s been the one with the nost promise. That said I think he’s a yard too slower to be that balanced midfielder at this level(he is suited to be) and too small be inside.

 

[DanWCE]

Sit Petch on Saad plz

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Recalling O’Neill makes a lot of sense. He was dropped after the Geelong game, didn’t play last week, clearly his form couldn’t be ignored.

 

[WCErevival]

XON could get midfield minutes with Shuey and Trew out. Trew unlucky. West must be playing as some revolutionary decoy defensive forward.

 

[Shuestar13]

West could possibly play as a tag on Saad.

It’s all a bit ho hum, hanging out for some of the youth to return

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

XON could get midfield minutes with Shuey and Trew out. Trew unlucky. West must be playing as some revolutionary decoy defensive forward.

If so let's hope his centre square work has improved since Round 1. 16 CBD's, 0 clearances.

 

[bzparkes]

Recalling O’Neill makes a lot of sense. He was dropped after the Geelong game, didn’t play last week, clearly his form couldn’t be ignored.

He's our Shuey replacement.

He'll do nothing for most of the game, although in Shuey's case it's because he's injured.

 

[BeornJ]

Sit Petch on Saad plz

Not sure it's a legal tactic to just sit on the oppo's best players.

Worth a shot though.

Maybe get big arse Ginbey to sit on him instead.

 

[FKASC]

Hope XON does well even though he seems to be better suited to state league level. Seems like a nice enough bloke. Hopefully it starts to click

It's okay if their head doesn't touch the grass
