Who should replace Lance?

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Who should we bring in to replace Lance? We need more height, that's for sure. Merrington is the obvious choice. Where should we play him? What sort of setup and game plan do we need?

Unfortunately, Lance will miss the Bombers match. That's a real setback.

i don't know about the replacing Lance thing (who could play like him?) but with the essendon match, if all goes well we'll have a 350 milestone for braddles!

With Matty Allen due back in a couple of weeks, wouldn't the answer be to put him in Lance's place?
That would also solve the problem of playing Ports and Allen in the same team.

Matty can't be any longer than 2 or 3 weeks away from returning, so until then the only other choice is probably Merrington, whom by the way, I think will be traded next season.

Hartlett.

I agree, Hartlett to come in for Lance.

Lance won't be dropped, unless his knee is really bothering him.

Man, was this site slow 6 years ago. Took 2 days to get 2 messages

 

[Jeremias]

Angwin, Merrington or Cam Croad would be my picks.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

LOL. If you told me that I had ever endorsed Merrington for a senior spot, I would not believe you!!

 

[Silvagnis]

Ross Noble?? He's pretty funny.

I'd say more along the lines of Bruno Lucia in All Together Now.

Lance won't be dropped, unless his knee is really bothering him.

I think we're going to lose next year's draft picks as well.

BigFooty site was so good back then that ODN's signature was typed.

I don't think we should drop him after just 2 rounds wait till after round 6 if he is still going crap then fine drop him. I am sure by then he will have sorted things out on and off the field. Pagan also should play him the whole game and not keep pulling him off. Maybe just play him as a loose man in defence all game and let him run himself into a bit of form?.

 

[Il Naso De Gastev]

Lucas is in career best form. Lance towelled him last year. Play Lance on Lucas with Thornton as a floating backman to read the play and give him a hand. If Lucas is held to 12 touches and 2 goals, Lance will have done his job and all of a sudden his form's not too bad.

 

[BlueFeaver]

Keep him in (Lance)

We have had good results with Essendon playing Lance into form on many occassions.

 

[one_twelve112]

Could we lure DeLuca away from his ''Advance Accounting 101'' books long enough to pull on a guernsey for a couple of rounds, or do you think he would be in the middle of a GST Tax Audit with the end of the financial year looming?

 

[audas]

Vinny Cattogio..

 

[HBF]

Stephen Oliver??

 

[[ToTTi]]

Ben Harrison?

 

[Jeremias]

Stephen O'Reilly

 

[KnockOut]

If we were to drop him, which we won't Hartlet.

 

[Andyt30]

No One he'll be playing this weekend , as per in todays
herald Sun fevola says "quote" you don;t drop your Captain he should be lining fullback on Saturday
where he should be and make it his own along side O'halpin

 

[Smell The Glove]

Lance isnt quick enough to go with Lucas and Lloyd would decimate him. Playing him in the backline and exposing him and his knee would be suicide. Get him deep in the forward line to create a contest with Betts and Murph at his knees and shove Fev out to CHF. his confidence would be shot if he got a bag kicked on him. Playing him in the forward line at least lets him be partially useful if he can just bring the ball to ground.
