team vs freo

[Longy413]

Worked against Freo last year.

 

[carn_the_dons]

i'd prefer a mark johnson in as full forward to lovett, johnson while not as quick is stronger overhead, lovett is a better crumbing forward

 

[DaSawx]

Lovett can take some good overhead marks on the lead. We've missed him being dangerous around the goal area, could have beaten the Kangas if he had been playing and playing well.

 

[Longy413]

Lovett is fantastic overhead. Strong pair of hands, good leap, hard to spoil.

Dear me, so much hate grasshopper. Let it go it is only a game of footy, but while we are on the topic of being "pathetic", erm well you get my drift. Good luck on Friday regardless.

Good to see you are persisting with Reynolds- leave him in for the rest of the year on the forward line - take note Sheedy. Make or break for the guy, who at least can lead and mark in the right places.

Has Joel Reynolds got the mental toughness to play league footy?

Are you basing that on his goalkicking?

 

[foj1]

Are you basing that on his goalkicking?

Yeah and also his general body language. I know he has missed a lot of footy but he does ooze confidence. When I look at young footballers I like to see a bit of self confidence. I reckon if you dont have it then the game chews you up pretty quick. The good players at TAC cup level like Thomas, McLean and Delidio always backed themselves and i think it is a key to making it as an afl player.

 

[Longy413]

I reckon he had that in his first year, perhaps the injuries have taken their toll. I guess it is also difficult to find confidence in this current side.

I'm not sold on him, but I do think he looks dangerous around goal and does give us another option once Lloyd and Lovett get their respective acts together.

He generally is a good kick, his conversion suprises me because I do think he's better than that. Hopefully if he starts to hit a couple that confidence will return/improve and we might just have a player. He'd want to get a hurry on though.

Agreed his kicking problems are 100% mental I'd say, needs to beat those demons and then we will hopefully start seeing the 3's or 4's bob up.

Don't think we should drop him as it is his last chance to make something of himself. It would be unfair, in a side that is not going to play finals, to drop him after giving him 4 or 5 full games, and totally ruining the momentum and confidence he is (slowly) getting at the top level.

 

[aka114]

I hope Jolley does get a game. His form with Bendigo has been great. I watched him play Vs Casey Scorpions and IMO was the match winner. Hopefully he continues the form.

 

[DaSawx]

Did Jolley travel? Does anyone know?

 

[Warrack Eagles]

B. Slattery,fletcher,welsh(last Chance)
H.b. Mcphee,bradley,lovett-murray
C. Mcveigh,watson,stanton
H.f. Hird,lee(looked Ok There In Last Quarter),campo
F. Lovett,lucas,monfries.
Foll. Hille,jjohnson,m.johnson
Inter. Ryder,dyson,jolley,heffernan
Emerg.reynolds,heffernan,peverill

I reckon Lee looked really good last week I would like to see him play in the back half. He is a big lanky boy.

Not a bad side in should have a real chance against this freo out fit.

 

[Longy413]

Did Jolley travel? Does anyone know?

Don't think so. Pretty sure Pev did though.

 

[Crave]

For all the speculation of us possibly beating Carlton, Kangas (prior to the result...) this game is beginning to look like a possible win. Freo dont look threatening n their only game breaker right now is Pavlich...perhaps Hedland also but Im not really sold on the rest of the side...might have to suss out some odds on us winning this one...anyone have this same niggling thought?

 

[S.C[BANKS]]

Why McVeigh?

I made that judgement yesterday when my head maintain thoughs on his two mistakes when it clearly had a chance to have a shot for goal , but now my heads clear i recognize that i was wrong. But you got to admit even though it was only 2 of his 16 disposal those mistakes was substantial for a vetaran who had played more than 50 games of high level football, eh i guess everone makes mistakes.

For sure. I reckon we will have a very clear idea after 15 minutes of the first quarter. Dockers are either on or off.

 

[DaSawx]

Just dont get your hopes up too much, please.

If the game is close at half time, we'll have an idea 5-10 minutes into the 3rd quarter, which will tell us if we'll keep it close going into the 4th or if we'll concede 6-7 goals to 2.

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

IN: Ryder, Peverill, Lovett, Johns
OUT: Hird (inj), Solomon (inj), Cartledge (omitted), Heffernan (omitted)


Solomon, Heff and Slattery are the emergencies.


Im ****ing sick of these crap changes.

 

[DaSawx]

Please Sheeds, drop Pev for Heff, this is bulldust

And maybe even Johns for Slattery, play Lovett out of the goalsquare
