Team v Kangaroos

[Gouga 496]

Best case:

In: Frawley, McLean, Newton, Rivers, Robertson

Out: Brown, Dunn, Ferguson (inj.), Miller, Ward

Brown - Not good enough any more. Doesn't hit many targets.

Dunn - I know not many people will be happy, but I think his form has dropped off in the last couple weeks. Still too timid when there is a contested situation. Would only drop him for Newton.

Ferguson - Let Hansen dominate the first few minutes. Injured anyway.

Miller - Takes a good mark on the lead but never goes the right option. If he wants to keep handballing to out of position players let him do it at Sandy.

Ward - Unaccountable. At one stage Bruce took a mark out of bounds, so it was a WCE free kick. While Bruce stood the mark Ward totally ignored Bruce's man who ran to the pocket. Instead Ward ran over to take over from Bruce on the mark. He then pointed out Bruce's man to him. By this stage the WCE player had spotted up the spare man. WCE goal. Ward, you were the closest player, you should have picked up the man. You are not a team player. Everytime you take possession you slow things down and the resulting kick is usually sideways.

Awesome changes

Once again, a Demonland poster comes up with better than anything the MFC selectors could put together

[Gorgoroth 12,305]

id be happy with those, even though dunn might be stiff

[Jaded No More 57,584]

There isn't a single good reason to drop Dunn. He is learning to play the wing, and doing a good job.

If Robbo, McLean and Rivers are fit, they will come in for Miller, Brown and Ferguson who is injured.

Frawley should debut in favour of Ward, or Rivers if he isn't fit.

Newton won't play.

[Rogue 585]

Changes -

Frawley for Ferguson

Team -

B: Frawley Carroll Whelan

HB: Petterd Holland Bell

Excluding Bartram and perhaps Moloney, this is just about our best side.

just get rid of miller, cant stand him. never makes the right decision always handballs! cant he kick? include ward and brown and get a new backline coach, kick ins are like jon dorotich in his day, straight to the opposition.

[bjgc 0]

B: WHELAN, CARROLL, HOLLAND

HB: PETTARD, RIVERS, C.JOHNSON

C: JOHNSTONE, MCLEAN, DAVEY

HF: GREEN, BATE, SYLVIA

F: ROBERTSON, NEITZ, NEWTON

FOLL: WHITE, BRUCE, MCDONALD

IC: YZE, GODFREY, WHEATLEY, P.JOHNSON

EMERG: JONES, BELL, BIZZELL

Holland can play on Brown or Petrie.

Please stop playing Ward and Brown they are way past there used by date.

I don't think that there is a worse player in the AFL than Miller never play him again [censored] him off to Brisbane. Sherman can't get a game he's from Victoria. We should make a swap there.

I really hope that Bell makes it as a footballer but the more I see him the more unlikely it seems. Makes too many mistakes and a total lack of vision.

Dunn and Jones need time at Sandy to get some confidence and game time.

Hopefully they will play McLean and Robertson in the seniors. What a joke it was to see Robertson at Sandy ? You would have thought we were flying on top of the ladder by not playing Robbo. We haven't been able to kick goals all year and not to play him against a side he has a good record against when they continue to persist with the likes of Miller is beyond belief. Newton should be considered as well we are not kicking goals and he is kicking goals at Sandy. If he doesn't get a kick put him straight back in the Sandy team. Nobody who has kicked as many goals for Sandy as Newton has should be left out of the team when we are .1% from the bottom.

gee i hate people saying newton wnt play although i know it is true... i like optimism

I agree. We need change in order for any form of success.

too bad it may never happern though :angry:

it MAY???

IT WONT EVER happen as if ND would make these kind of changes as much as we want them to be like that

[DEES 0]

IN: NEWTON, ROBERTSON, BUCKLEY, RIVERS

OUT: MILLER, FERGUSON, WARD, BROWN

Our season is over and ND knows it. It is time to start playing the younsters, let them gain experience at afl level just like port did last year.

Newton has shown great form over the last few weeks at sandy, and deserves his spot over Miller who has been useless

Robbo is an easy in, he adds so much to our structure and will straighten us up

Rivers is also an easy in, he is our best defender

Buckley should come into replace ward or brown as we need to blood the youngsters

Ward and Brown are both similar players and their disposal is not up to scratch

Mclean and Frawley should come in, but i still think Brock isn't ready and Frawley needs to find some fitness and should be considered in 2 weeks

HF - Robertson Neitz Dunn

I/C - P.Johnson Moloney Yze Godfrey

[Jaded No More 57,584]

People are, quite clearly, losing the plot.

I've read that we should drop Dunn and Jones, and yet everyone is screaming at Daniher to play the youngsters.

I've read that Neita should be dropped so that Newton can get a game.

Now Bruce and Green? How will we get their trade value up if we don't play them in the senior Y_M?

Everyone needs a strong drink and a lie-down I think.

[John Dee 436]

out : Ferguson, Miller, Brown, Ward

In: Rivers, Newton, McLean, CJ

[Mazer Rackham 14,968]

All these changes, changes, changes ...

Dunn out, Miller down back, trade Bruce, etc ...

Fact is, we don't know who can and can't play any more.

The team's confidence is shot. They've bulked down and are confused about the game plan. How can any player be expected to show what he's got without clear and strong vision from the football department?

It's every man for himself and they're suffering for it.

This will continue until a new coach emerges like a beacon on a dark night.

Agreed.......plus everyone saying bring in Frawley like he is some great white hope!

If he comes in and has a shocker, the same people would want him out the next week!

[FitZ 0]

Drop Miller, hopefully he will get over his serious case of handballitus <_<

[Rogue 585]

Or perhaps because they think Warnock's had a few runs and hasn't done much. Ferguson played last week and broke his thumb.

On the flip side, Frawley was looking like a starter come round one, but was injured before the season commenced.

[praha 10,267]

Good to see everyone's changes.

Now, here is my predicition of the MFC selector's changes:

In: McLean, Rivers, Robertson

Out: Fergeson, Pettard, Ward

[Nicho 1]

Best case:

In: Frawley, McLean, Newton, Rivers, Robertson

Out: Brown, Dunn, Ferguson (inj.), Miller, Ward

Ward, you were the closest player, you should have picked up the man. You are not a team player. Everytime you take possession you slow things down and the resulting kick is usually sideways.

Ward has been one of our better players all year. Take him out and we have absolutely no run from our defence.. If Ward was to go then Green would have to be played as a permanent back flanker who floats across the backline and runs and carries because Green is no good in the midfield. Should be played in a Goddard type roll and i guarantee this would rejuvenate his career.

[Gorgoroth 12,305]

we lose wards run but gain when he doesnt kick it to an opponent after he has run with it, which then gets kicked to his player standing at the 50 who strolls in for an easy goal

[deesrock 0]

Dunn and Jones need time at Sandy to get some confidence and game time.

Are you for real???? Nathan Jones is one of the few MFC players who is able to hold his head high this year - he gives his all everytime he pulls on the red and blue jumper. Remember he is 19 and was injured earlier in the year. Get serious mate - others should go before you start pointing the sword at Jonesy.
