Review Round 7 - Gold Coast @ West Coast

[kreglze]

What are the chances of Ryan Burgess getting selected for this one? Wanna know for SuperCoach. Cheers in advance.

Very unlikely. Corbett took his spot last week and kicked 2 goals, so Burgess will have to bide his time in the NEAFL.

 

[Peel67skin]

Love Sam Day as deep forward .

 

[kreglze]

If Day comes back in as people are suggesting, are we looking at something like this.

Corbett - Wright - Holman
Sexton - Day - Macphearson
​

Decent forward 50, can rotate Ainsworth and Martin through as well. Rankine to take Holman's spot once he is fit.

 

[2010premier]

his #1 highlight for me was always that chase down tackle on Brent Harvey

That happened right in front of me. We were a great footy team to watch the 1st half of that year.

Then the sliding doors moment. Gary doesn’t injure the shoulder, we play finals, rocket is never appointed player exodus doesn’t happen, sad. Hopefully better times ahead

 

[briztoon]

We do have a habit of playing out of form teams into form though. See Adelaide and Brisbane for reference

I hate to say this, but you didn't play us in to form.

We played pretty crap, and any experienced or more talented team would have beat us.

We've now got a run of 5 or 6 games against teams we should beat if we're a genuine top 8 team. We'll see if we run in to form by the end of that stretch.

Hanley out, afl.com.au

 

[Brenton87]

Hoping for an unlikely upset so i can wind up the 40k eagles supporters as i leave Optus stadium lol

 

[kreglze]

Hanley out means Murdoch probably retains his spot.

Good to also see Rankine going over to experience the travel and prep needed to play in WA.

These are the changes I would go with.

We are light on at HB, but Bowes can rotate through there when needed as well.

i have a feeling brodie will get dropped, dont think he deserves to but his lack of flexibilty when we are down on flankers is going to hurt him

And I was right

Out: Brodie, Luko, Hanley

I get we need leadership, but gee, I'm not happy dropping brodie and leaving GHS in. Offers a lot less

 

[Happy Idiot]

Wow, Horlin-Smith over Brodie

Brodie must of eaten some of dewies pies or something over the pre season. Does not seem to rate him enough to even give him a go

 

[Sunny_]

GHS over Brodie is the biggest farce in team selection we've ever had IMO. So much for Dew's 'if you're good enough you play' mantra.

They clearly don’t think Brodie can play

I guess he'd be gone at the end of the year now — no doubt, right? Disappointing.

I guess so. Though I don't have them and can only go by eye, I would be surprised if GHS did Brodie last week many measurable statistics.

Some of what GHS did last week was Joel Wilkinson-esque.

I think if he forces his way back in like last year in the second half and stays in, he stays, but I wouldn't blame him if I was looking at the games from some of the other more senior guys on the weekend like Holman, Murdoch or GHS and I was the one getting dropped.

I assume the reason GHS is in is because he can play HBF or HFF, Brodie is a pure inside mid and Miles is clearly above him on the pecking order

Sorry, I meant more from the angle that he'd be crazy not too jump at another offer put in front of him. He'll make the move to go.

Can he play on the flanks though? I know he lines up there, but we'd be just as easily served having Will there.

Sorry to be so negative. I'm just flabbergasted by the call.

 

[Jen2310]

Maybe they are thinking mature and experienced bodies are better for this eagles game. Or in terms of match ups

How bad could Brodie be off a back flank? GHS is pretty darn ineffective wherever he is.
