Round 2: Team Selection and Match Ups

[Philthy 284]

Would like to see your thoughts on who should take the field Saturday night to play the Bummers...

FB: Dunn Frawley Garland

HB: Watts McDonald Terlich

C: Viney Grimes Sylvia

HF Howe Clark Toumpas

FF: Byrnes Dawes Kent

R: Jamar Jones McKenzie

INT: Blease, Spencer, M.Jones Rodan(Sub)

In:

T.McDonald (Watch him carve up Hurley)

Terlich (Should have been in the Rnd 1 squad, Blinder at Casey deserves call up)

Dawes ( Even a cardboard cutout of Dawesy is better than Sellar)

Kent (Has pace, great pre season and some mongrel)

Spencer (Tries to chase blokes and doesn't mind contact...unlike Pederson).

Out:

Gillies: (Casey until he learns to man up and not be beaten one on one)

Sellar ( Should never play for Melbourne again, 5 goals against a bunch of 18 yr old port players means Jack Sh*t )

Nicholson (Poor Disposal, liability down back)

Pederson (Average pre season, no heart)

Tapscott (Disappointing, needs to work hard at Casey before callup imo)

SUB:

David Rodan fits the "super sub" mould. Bring him on mid-late 3rd quarter and use the fresh legs to hopefully run over Essendon in the middle in the last quarter.

Classic!!!

I like your team...

[Clark_Kent 315]

My team for this week:

Backs: Jetta Frawley Garland

H/B: Watts McDonald Terlich

Mid: Trengove N.Jones Viney

H/F: Howe Dawes Kent

Fwds: Byrnes Clark Blease

Ruck: Spencer Grimes Sylvia

Int: Pederson, M.Jones, D. Rodan Sub: J. Toumpas

Outs: Gillies, Jamar, McKenzie, Tapscott, Sellar, Nicholson, Dunn.

Point 1: We have got to sort out or defence it is way too top heavy how does the coaching department not see this? We should have 4 talls and 2 smalls and make Watts accountable for a player as well as running off.

Point 2: Send Jamar back to Casey and tell him to work on competitiveness. Spencer is no where near good enough but at least he competes hard.

Point 3: If Mckenzie isn't going to tag then dont bother picking him.

Point 4: I want to see how Pederson goes as third tall.

God help us.

Team for this week ... 22 players who want the BALL. No one out there except Viney and Jones wanted the ball badly. Grimes got so many cheap handballs it wasn't funny so I can't say he demanded the ball. That's why we were killed out there. No desire to work hard and no desire to run hard. I don't care who we pick as long as they realise its football and not a friggin walk on the beach with the mrs.

There's a thread for this already.

As much as the discussion is fantastic, we don't need new threads for every post.

[Range Rover 1,935]

Watts must play 100 minutes on Hurley.

Whichever end of the ground. Full forward or full back. In the square, on the opposition's best KPP.

Don't let the bloke hide anymore. Either he becomes a man and a real AFL footballer or he should just give it away.

[Guest]

Agreed. The thing is: He can do it! He did a great job on Jobe Watson at the end of the Essendon vs. Melbourne game last year. Stop hiding him and make him earn his pay.

So now that you've been shot down from starting multiple threads about Schwab, you're doing it to your second favourite target?

You're a laugh mate.

How dare we talk about one of our most important and underperforming players? What is this, a footy forum or something?

[whatwhat say what 19,740]

wrong body shape for hurley; he'll get treated like a rag doll.

i honestly don't know what will happen with watts.

What's your point RR? This makes zero sense.

Cop a tip - don't ever bag Neeld in future for his match day moves when you're coming out with dumb ass, prescriptive, non sensical instructions such as this one.

I want us to win this game - not have it being used for petty point scoring.

Yes, and the 17 other threads are not near enough for RR's complaints about Watts, we needed another one.

Can you and RR please just take it outside and settle this like men, you're are starting to bore the rest of us who'd like to discuss the shambles that is our team.

Anyways, i think we should sack...

Glad to hear you're so dedicated to preserving precious bandwidth.

I have Stu on block.

This is a thread about Watts. Debate that. Talk about that. That is the topic. Not me.

In that case, perhaps we take it one step further and have him follow Mr Goddard around for the game.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Watts should play in the forward line; he mustn't be allowed to just roam around the back half without an opponent; isn't that what they tried to do with Davey and isn't that what made him a lazy unaccountable player.

He was recruited as a forward and it's about time he stood up; show us if you've got it, prove the doubters wrong.

Why Hurley? He's a spud.

Also do you blame Watts for everything thats happened? You know nothing about football mate, he had a defensive forward shut him down and he like many others except 4 had a bad day.

Why not say Gillies needs to earn his pay? Frawley? Garland? Jamar? Rodan? Nicholson? Pederson?

Cant single this bloke out anymore.

[Benson 254]

I agree with Spencer coming in, Spencer can add that chase and tackle that was missed on Sunday.

Now for a midfield to work around Viney.

[DemonWA 3,536]

Play watts where the team need him..... Don't think it is on Hurley. I guess he can ruck against nick mat if he is fit for round 3?

[stuie 7,374]

That's more like it. IMO that is a closer player to what Watts COULD become.

Plus, it would mean McKenzie could sit this game out...

I can. I did. And I will.

No hiding him anymore. He needs to grow a pair or leave.

Firstly you're delusional by calling Hurley a spud.

Secondly it has been well documented that all our back six were rubbish, there is nothing wrong with signalling out Watts as the guy had two kicks, couldn't stop his man and would not involve himself enough physically after another pre-season.

Frawley and Garland were the same. No physical presence whatsoever. They need to grow a pair.

[olisik 4,060]

Most depressing thing is we dont even have about 10 lock in players right now for this week.

I would not include Trengove, Frawley or Watts in the team this week. For them to be included would be based on blind faith.
