[Square Peg]

our big forwards have been clunking all their marks..

What?

People want to drop Taberner every week unless he kicks 3 or more goals. I thought he was good today.

He was good in the first half, went missing in the second half.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

He was good in the first half, went missing in the second half.

Should have had that goal in the 3rd? 4th? where his arms were chopped. I thought he was decent today. Worked and worked which is the way he will impact games. Adds too much structurally to drop, although if he wasn't working hard you would do it.

Mzungu for Sheridan would be my change.

 

[Kram]

I'm surprised at how many outs people want today. Its like a melt down is occurring!

Sure some players had bad games, but you can't drop all of them.

 

[westy1]

barlow is horribly out of form
cost us 2 goals today,one where he bombed it out of defence straight to the waiting oppo player
the next when he tackled bontempelli when he didn't have it
correct me if I'm wrong but did he also run into the square at a centre bounce
maybe a run in the twos wouldn't hurt him that much
he still gets plenty of the pill but maybe go and get some touch?
that and I'm just trying to find some room for zunga

 

[yakamoto]

On Bigfooty we can drop whoever we like and as many as we like. So there.

 

[Big Animal]

Out: sherridan, Sandi's dropped marks, leigh "i hate ross" Fischer
In: gu, mcP,

Thought Suttcliffe was worse than Sheridan today. Is sutty having an ordinary season or is it just me?

Not just you, Sutty has had a few average performances this year.

We don't seem to be able to get the ball to Hill as much in the last few games, extra attention I presume. Thankfully D Pearce has maintained a good standard as the "free player".

Makes you wonder if Crozier wouldn't be a good in then, if that's the case. We really need Walters up forward a bit more, like was shown in the last quarter.

 

[Bender571]

Out: A Pearce, Suban
In: McPharlin, Mzungu
Subcliffe

 

[Spirit Level]

Surely the time has come for Suban to come out

Surely

 

[crowls bowels]

Out: Sheridan
In: Mzungu

 

[StingBitten]

Duffield had zero impact as sub:
Suban and Sutty had bad games.
Lukey Mac for Alex Pearce and Gu into 21 for Suban likely. Duff and Sutty looking over shoulder.

Duffield laid 5 tackles in a matter of minutes.

 

[Freodoc]

In: The best available team.. no-one is untouchable

RTB

 

[theridge]

Hmmm...Am I imagining it, but is Barlow struggling at tad? I realise he had 24 touches but seems to turning the pill over.

His disposal has been average. Like the rushed kick from a ball up in our defence went straight to a wb player.

He seems slower than usual too. I Love Barlow but at the monent Muzungu Would Be Better.

haha i lolled

 

[apuchar]

Duffield laid 5 tackles in a matter of minutes.

You kinda just wonder if we wouldn't be better off with a runner rather than a defensive forward or backman as the sub.

 

[Seppo]

All you crazy mofos calling for T trains head.
He had a better game than Suban and Sutcliffe.

Barlow had some ice strapped to his upper thigh/glut after the game and was very proppy.

Alex could be rested for Luke and someone might make way for Mz or Deboer.

 

[VolgaBoatman]

Thought A. Pearce was alright, but if McPharlin is ok, we need him back against the experienced North forwards - e.g. Waite, Petrie, Black (if he plays) etc. Felt the back line coughed it up a bit.

MdB needs a run at Peel to get some match practice I would think. Sheridan was quite good and RTB really rates him, so he probably stays, Suban did enough I think - was also good the last few weeks - Sutcliffe has been below his best, but still solid, I would expect Duffman to stay as well, but you never know. Mz might be a chance, but I don't think there is an obvious one to miss out.

In terms of Barlow's tackle on Bontempelli - that happens all the time, the kick out of defence was bad.

 

[youmewe]

Thought Suttcliffe was worse than Sheridan today. Is sutty having an ordinary season or is it just me?

Hard to say.

Maybe if I could examine the stats and watch some of the replays, I would be in a better position to answer.

Which league are you playing in currently?

 

[Simmofreo]

It's time for the GU !! He will be so bloody hungry when he gets in to stay in the team. In fa to probably so would crozier.

I would go

A Pearce for Macca
Ballas for crozier
Suban for Gu

Freshens some up and watch how hard those three play to keep their spot

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Long range weather forecast has it reasonably fine conditions - no rain expected. North will likely bring in a tall for Brown if he doesn't come up. If they were smart, they would bring in a small to take advantage of the big ground.

We will again likely go in with the 2 talls again, surely johno must be a bit sore playing the key general down there for the past 2 weeks
