Opinion Round 9 Changes vs. Adelaide

[Dockernut]

I so want Gu in this team, but I just can't find a spot for him. I think he offers more than Subes, but Subes seems to have RTB's ear at the moment, so who knows.

 

[Kram]

I love the Zu but I think some people overrate him a bit, he's just unlucky at the moment. I'm sure he will get a look in at some stage.

 

[Freoforever86]

No one wants to drop Barlow this week

 

[Schauermann]

I'd go with no changes unless forced as well.

 

[dont bowl there]

Had to laugh at people wanting to swap Barlow with a player that has never played AFL thinking it would improve the team.

 

[darkshines]

Thread gets more amusing every week, really scraping the barrel for gripes at the minute aren't we.

i.e. Duffield, didnt do anything 'wrong', just didnt get tonnes of the ball = dropped

We're ok.

I also thought that was ridiculous. Yes his forms been patchy, but short memory's there..

 

[Freo]

Hopefully we get to blood one or two more this year. This is important for the longer term picture. Injuries may provide the opportunities.

 

[beetz]

Drop Pav. Needs to find form in the WAFL.

 

[Gekko71]

No changes for my money, but I'm a bit worried about Suban.

His performance was strong enough to hold his spot, but looking again at that head-first tackle, I'm worried he might have damaged his neck. He took a hell of a blow to the top of his head - I got whiplash as a kid in a slightly similar fashion and it took me over a month to come good. Bet you he played out the game with a sore neck and a blinding headache.

I got whiplash watching, don't no how his neck didn't snap.

 

[Taylor]

Do you think Mzungu could beat a Suban in a foot race?

I'm not so sure. Not this year. Less chance next year. No chance the year after.

 

[couldhavebeen]

Dawson to FF...?

Dawson started his football at FF so not a bad choice but if Pav doesn't get over the abductor soreness then Crozier or Muz would be in the team .

 

[couldhavebeen]

Never at any time in our history have I read so many posters saying no changes to the team . The only maybe if Pav wants a rest . Guys the Hip was sore from carrying the baby on his hip when the wife was shopping for his first pair of footy shorts

I also think Dawson is the most likely to replace Pav at the moment if he was to be injured. The other option is McPharlin, with Dawson to go back.

 

[samFFC]

Out: not Sheridan. Looks the goods IMO, he just needs some continuity. He almost comes across as a burst player but his endurance stats are first class too.
Taberner

In: Mzungu

Wut?

Foot speed is massively overrated, endurance and skill far outweighs speed. Suban currently is doing enough to keep his spot, Mz is a better player though.

Well, I disagree with that - getting a solid, stable team into a grand final is far more important than blooding draftees at the moment. Fremantle needs it, Lyon needs it, Pav deserves it... now is not the time for playing around with team structures.

No changes, maybe mess with who is going to be sub.

I'm even acknowledging Suban did enough to stay in the side, which is one "in" I think we should be experimenting with.

 

[Borderline]

Going over for this one, buzzing to see Adelaide Oval in person, should be a beauty.

Nah, even the Hawks and Sydney blood new players from time to time. Ask St Kilda fans what happened when the same players were played indefinitely, with no fresh faces. When injuries allow, we need to blood players. BTW Alex Pearce says "hi there".

So does Lachie Neale

 

[Banker]

Sack the whole team, we're winning too much for my liking.

Suban is a liability still, surely has the worst set shot on goal? Have to turn away every time. Pass it please!!

 

[Square Peg]

No change if Pav is fit

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Dawson is not a key forward. Anybody saying he should come in for Pav is delusional.

 

[Fireballs]

Out: Taberner

In: Alex Pearce
