Round 6 changes



Recommended Posts

IN - Robbo. 3 VFL games are plenty and by all reports he's been kicking 2 or 3 goals a game.

OUT Newton - The club must surely stamp his papers after 2 misses from 15 mtrs out. I was hopeful he turned the cnr, but he's simply no good :o

Maric for Jetta if Maric's fit enough, but I have my doubts.

OUT - Bruce

Thats all I want to see for sure.

Yes but he could have thirty-five possessions and kick five goals and you would want him out ;) !!!

He frustrates me too, but I can't see him not playing next week.......

Bruce is still kicking around his body without looking up the ground first.....

[censored] this pisses me off!!!

Out = Johnson, Newton, Jetta

In = Spencer, Robbo, Maric

That is all....

No-one stopped trying, their effort was genuinely wonderful and it should be commended........

But Bruce, while he can be very good, lets himself down way too often for a player of his stature with his disposal. We need him to be better.

But he will not be dropped, and while I am not sure he should be, he isn't to be protected either.

Leave Newton for 3 more weeks.

Robbo in, but not at FF or CHF. That has NEVER worked.

Leave Newton in to get some confidence. Leave Miller at CHF, and let Robbo be Robbo and not a Key Position Player who will get hammered.

Glad I didn't get to the game today though!

In robbo out newton.

Newton is rubbish. Does terrible things 9 times out of ten. Those who continually say to drop bennell obviously don't even watch the games. I love his tackling.

Agreee Entirely

Newton - Send him to the Casey two's to play out his contract.

Bennell - The learning curve continue's & after 5 Games the positives far out way the negatives.

Why in hell would you drop him, he is showing all the sign's of being a 10 year player with silky skills.

& Yes his takling was 1st rate again today.

Can't believe people aren't rating Bennell. We must have very different views. I see him as a bloody exciting prospect who is already showing signs of class. Must not be dropped!

Out :

Newton - will never be a decent player at AFL level. Has no confidence and lacks the skill-level and decision-making abilities to be effective. No point persisting with him. He has had ample opportunity. Must go.

Johnson - he is terrible. Absolutely terrible.

Bartram - bloody courageous effort to play today.

In :

Robertson - we could have done with him today. Could well have been the difference!

Grimes - if ready.

Spencer - I guess we would need a second ruckman if Johnson goes, that's all. And Johnson must go.

Would also like to see Maric play, perhaps for Jetta?

Add Bennell to the outs and I'd be happy with those. We need some class and grunt for us to even get within 10 goals of the Cats next Sunday!

bennell is class. the only reason you could drop him would be his light body

in - robbo, grimes, maric

out - newton, bartram, jetta

all straight swaps. i do love the way jetta chases though

If we can get a full side to choose from in the next few weeks Jetts and Benny would be playing two's. Only reasons being they are still not quite up to full AFL fitness and strength. With a few coming back into the 2's this week you might see them having a spell. jetts looked out of gas early in the 3rd qtr. Both had little influence besides Bennys fantastic fantstic tackling.

Robbo in for sure and if Maric does no play I think it is ridiculous we are crying crying crying out for a small fwd. The number of times we had 3 talls in the fwd contest the ball and the cros run it from there feet so easily was infuriating today!

Please please please make Newton go away.

If I have to see him play again I will seriously shoot myself. He is the single most infuriating, lazy, uncommitted footballer I have ever seen. GET RID OF IT!

In: Robbo, Maric, Grimes (if he got through the match ok)

Out: Newton, Bate (need to learn to play below his knees!!!), Bartram (very harsh given he played OK under horrible circumstances, but he needs a spell).

Bate and Newton are like having two extra goal posts up forward. Go with a smaller forward line, that can actually mark and kick goals. Please!

By the way, Bennell is ALL class in a group that seriously lacks class. Shouldn't go anywhere.

Isn't it great to have a whipping boy , truth is you can't fairly judge any forward in conditions like todays

You maybe right YM, but I don't think we can afford to have less experienced players in the mix ratio.

Yes his disposal skills are a liability but he finds the footy a lot, when we're winning the contested ball, they're not. He's got to work a lot harder on his handball accuracy.

When other players comeon, like Grimes, Maric, Bail, etc, then, maybe he'll get a rest.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
