Changes for Next week

[Ryan Dee 140]

I think some people have it out for Dunn, he was excellent on Brennan last night.

Each week he has a new role and considering he is getting a game he is doing his job.

bingo. Playing really well on his opponents each week and did well in the ruck this week.

[Ryan Dee 140]

McIntosh, Hale, Goldstein. Martin will play.

Hale does not play in the ruck he is just a tall forward who our backs could cover. Hale only rucks in the forward line of the other two don't get Down there in time.

McIntosh, Hale, Goldstein. Martin will play.

Agree. Hale and Goldstein can be a handful going forward.

Contradiction there.

Out - Bruce

well I've just watched the replay--all but the first 10 minutes. In another topic I've seen reference to poor ball handling by Bruce last Saturday. It must have been all in that first 10 minutes!

In all that I watched Bruce made 1 error. On the outer wing he passed over to Trengove with a kick that got too high

and was punched away. He made no other error by foot or hand in the 100 minutes I saw.

He was responsible for 2 goals, one, to Sylvia, when Bruce took a poor pass to him, virtually on the half volley and got it to Sylvia who kicked a nice goal in the 2nd quarter. His handling of the ball fetched an intake of breath by Tony Shaw-it was so good.

Any suggestion that he be dropped could only be made in bad faith!

B - Garland Frawley Warnock

HB - Grimes Rivers MacDonald

McIntosh, Hale, Goldstein. Martin will play.

Yes. I'll go with no change, again.

For now.

[Dee*ceiving 1,297]

Rivers is in the best 22 and I think he is a better option than Garland to help the side get the 4 points on Saturday against North. It doesn't mean that Rivers is the better long term option, but I think the 4 points is important enough to justify a change.

In - Rivers

Out - Garland

Bail deserves to regain his spot but pending injury there is no obvious vacancy. He will need to be patient and show us what he's made of for the Scorp's.

The good news is our arguments have changed from why blokes should be dropped to why blokes shouldn't be dropped. What a fantastic and somewhat unique development!

[Jammin' Demon 0]

No change for mine, I would love to see Rivers and Bail back, but I can't remove anyone for them to replace.

One fantastic thing that might be flying under the radar is how great it is to have almost the same 22 play together for a few weeks.

Injuries have been bad for us over the last couple of years, being unable to have the same blokes on the park has hurt us and consistency in the lineup will probably lead to a lot of improvement very quickly. Exciting!

Why don't you just put your old screen name in a signature, Y_M? You're STILL the only one bleating on about Bruce, years after you started.

As for the side I'm surprised nobody else has called for Bennell's head. Not that I WANT him gone, he was desperately unlucky on the weekend in a number of cases, but he's also probably the least "successful" in the side.

Tough beng a dee at the moment.

[Ryan Dee 140]

Contradiction there.

Pinch hit is the word I was looking for in the latter half of that sentance.

[Deevout 456]

No Change, Unless there are injuries. Although Rivers in for .............? and Bail in for .............? Great problem to have finally

Bail deserves to regain his spot but pending injury there is no obvious vacancy. He will need to be patient and show us what he's made of for the Scorp's.

Why does Bail need to show us what "he's made of" when he has already shown us at AFL level already?

[Dee*ceiving 1,297]

Why does Bail need to show us what "he's made of" when he has already shown us at AFL level already?

Fighting to get back in a successful team after injury is part of footy. Has he experienced that scenario in his career thus far???

Proving he can maintain the work rate and motivational level required at VFL level to force his way back into the red and blue is a form of 'showing us what he's made of', and a valuable lesson for a young player forging himself a reputation.

Glad I am not on the selection commitee this week.

Talk about a difficult decision!

5 weeks and no new injuries...... Wow!

Thanks Rhino for deleting my post.

I'm sorry you can't take criticism yourself.
