Selection Quandary

[kriso182]

Tom Harley, Steven King, Chapman and Rooke all putting there hand up to play.

Who do you drop? Great problem to have, VFL team could take on a few AFL teams I reckon.

Personally, I would play King and Harley in the VFL. If Mackie doesnt come up Harley can come in. Chapman and Rooke should play. Tenace and Hawkins should be dropped.

IN : Chapman and Rooke.

OUT: Mackie inj. Selwood rest.

 

[JUBJUB]

Chappy for Tenace
Rooke for Hawkins.It's likely to be a bit wet,so we don't need the extra tall up forward
Harley for Mackie if Mackie is out injured,otherwise he comes back via the magoos
No King.Don't need him.

 

[JUBJUB]

IN : Chapman and Rooke.

OUT: Mackie inj. Selwood rest.

Selwood doesn't need a rest.He had a week off about 3 weeks ago.

No point resting youngsters if they are playing alright. Maybe drop Hawkins if it is wet. Don't rest him for the sake of resting him.

I don't think Chapman is right. I haven't read anywhere that says he is ready.

Hawkins may be heading for a rest after the coach saw some telling signs during Sunday's win against West Coast.
"He's not far off having a spell," Thompson said.


He is desperately trying to keep getting his hands on the ball, but the harder he tries, the worse it is getting. He may have to go back to the reserves and just have a free run at playing footy again."


Chapman, who missed against the Eagles because of a hamstring strain, was expected to miss another week until he impressed during a running drill yesterday.


Mackie suffered a bruised knee on Sunday and will need to improve to be right to play, while Rooke (hamstring), who has not played all season, has strung several VFL games together and is likely to force his way into the seniors this week.

Ripper. Cheers JUBJUB and CatmanForever!

Selwood doesn't need a rest.He had a week off about 3 weeks ago.

He came off with concussion last week,won't hurt him to have another week off now.

Thanks for the link. Makes for some satisfying dilemmas for the selectors!

For mine,

In: Chapman
Out: Hawkins

Not sure about Rooke, is he 100% yet?

Rookes a definite this week.

In: Chapman, Rooke.
Out: Hawkins, Tenace.

 

[JUBJUB]

He's played the last 2 weeks in the VFL

 

[Hood007]

Rookes a definite this week.

In: Chapman, Rooke.
Out: Hawkins, Tenace.

Tenace would be pretty stiff to get dropped this week...

 

[Rosella]

Tenace would be pretty stiff to get dropped this week...

Yeah, agree.

I think Chappy should have another week off, don't like the idea of missing only week from a hamstring

 

[conanthelibrarian]

In: Chapman Rooke
Out: Hawkins Mackie

Let Mackie rest his knee, and give Hawkins a run in the VFL to get some form back. Bring in two hard nuts in Chappy and Max to thrash Freo at the in and under stuff, especially as it's meant to be wet.

 

[sarah.13]

IN : Chapman and Rooke.

OUT: Mackie inj. Selwood rest.

Revised my thoughts. IN-Chapman,Rooke.
Out-Hawkins,Mackie inj.

 

[Metallica_Man]

would hawkins be resting in the vfl or alltogether?

Out: Hawkins Mackie

Looks good to me.

 

[JUBJUB]

I'm guessing if he doesn't play seniors he will line up in the VFL as the following week there are no VFL games [state game Vic v WA] so he'd have a rest then.

 

[Ricketts]

In - Rooke, Chapman.

Out - Hawkins, and Mackie if he is a bit injured, but Selwood if Mackie is right to go.

just a thought..im really thinking that we would be much better off resting chappy another week. i understand we would love to have the guy in the side but i think it would be better to be safe then sorry..we would seriously be regretting playing him if he tears his hammy on satday and misses 3-4..does anyone think it may be worth resting him?

Spot on mate, no use risking anyone at this time of yr, If its wet, Rooke to come in for Tomahawk, thats the only change i would make.

 

[a.f.k.a.y.o.p.]

Can't drop Selwood with the weather forecast - hes a country boy and used to the crap days, so his skills should still be exceptional when others may drop off a bit.
Chapman and Rooke for sure. Balls going to spend more time on the ground than at the Dome.....

Yep, Chappy and Rooke for mine too. Hawkins could benefit from VFL experience and come back a bit later in the year.
