Round 2: Team Selection and Match Ups

Featured Replies

Start him on the wing & make him run hard all day. He has the attributes to be a good wingman & really just needs to add some hardness to his game. I also think the selection panel has been selecting a team that is too tall. On Sunday they had Clark, Sellar, Pedersen, Jamar, Watts, Gillies, Frawley,Sellar & Garland. They could probably drop Gillies & Sellar from that list & add some running players. IMO we wouldn't lose much by dropping those guys. Based on the Casey game bringing in Terlich & Kent would add some run & aggression at least.

Terlich, Kent & Jetta would have to be walk ups. Tommy Mc if fit to go.

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

Why play nqr's like gillies, pederson, seller, rodan and Byrnes when we have young talent.

Neeld is a goose. He thinks footy is an exam.

This is a team that is tough down back, skilled up forward and quick and strong thru the guts.

I reckon it is a pretty good team. If only neeld could get them to play properley. They should just tell him to get fcuked and go out and have some serious fun. Crank up ac/dc in the changerooms and play some kamakzi footy. You never know, we might blow sides away.

 

With Neeld telling us what's happening this week in his HUN interview today, let's focus our attention on filling the blanks.

In: Trengove, McDonald, Terlich, one other

Out: Dunn (purportedly injured. I disagree), three others.

McDonald for Gillies?

SELECTION

SOMETIMES you throw the challenge at the same group and don't make changes. Other times the performance is so unacceptable changes are needed.

Neeld is a latter-type coach. He will make four changes, and will only say that Lynden Dunn is out with a hamstring strain. Into the side will come skipper Jack Trengove, Tom McDonald, debutant Dean Terlich, a running half-back, and one other.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. He also said "there are roles that have to be played. There were a couple of cases where players knew exactly what their role was, and we saw none of it."

McDonald for Dunn

Terlich for Gillies

Trengove for Tapscott?

One other - don't know. More support up forward? Clark's ankle would be a concern in restricting his movement. But most of the corrections need to happen in the back line and midfield.

I posted it earlier but it got lost in the great Demonland crash of 2013... Just thought I'd add it back in as backup to what you were saying

Jetta for Nicho would be my guess as the 4th change.

OUT: Viney (certainly does not fit the typical mould)

Edited by Bailin Out

After what Neeld said my guess is:

In: Trengove, Terlich, McDonald and Jetta.

Out: Dunn, Nicholson, Tapscott and Sellar.

Swap Sellar for Pedo and I reckon you're on the money. He did say in the article he wouldn't say if Pedo was playing or not, but he has said Terlich is a definite in and Dunn is a definite out (injured), so sounds to me like he's trying to not throw Pedo to the wolves in the media as such, but I reckon come tonight he won't be named, well maybe in the squad but he won't play.

official team:

B: Tom Gillies, James Frawley, Dean Terlich


HB: Jack Watts, Tom McDonald, Colin Garland


C: Jack Grimes, Jack Viney, Matt Jones


HF: Sam Blease, James Sellar, Jeremy Howe


F: Colin Sylvia, Mitch Clark, Shannon Byrnes


FOLL: Mark Jamar, Jordie McKenzie, Nathan Jones


I/C: Jimmy Toumpas, Jack Trengove, Daniel Nicholson, Aaron Davey


EMG: David Rodan, Cam Pedersen, Jake Spencer


IN: Aaron Davey, Dean Terlich, Jack Trengove, Tom McDonald


OUT: Lynden Dunn (hamstring), David Rodan, Luke Tapscott, Cam Pedersen


Unbelievable selection for me.

Toumpas is not ready, that was painfully obvious. Nicholson was horrible. Rodan actually gave us something in the first half unlike others.

Bizarre. I'm happy with the in's, not with the out's though.

Agreed would have droped Toumpas for Jetta/Strauss and kept Tappy for some much needed grunt

Would've liked to have seen Jetta, and I'm glad Nicholson wasn't dropped. I wish we had the playing resources to drop guys like James Frawley but we simply don't.

All in all it's about what I expected. Rodan will be feeling pretty down on himself that he got dropped straight after playing his old team against whom he wanted to prove he still had "it."

Cannot believe Gillies is still in the team... he was a shocker. Glad Pederson is out - far too lazy

Oh yeah. Forgot about Gillies. Wow was he bad.

IN: Jetta, OUT: Gillies would be good.

Edited by Chook

Cant disagree with the outs. Would have added Gillies as he was poor and that back half lacks run again. Would have also dropped Nicho but is likely needed for their smalls. I would expect Rodan is due to defensive acts rather than anything he did with the ball.

Dear lord. BOTH Sellar and Gillies are still in :huh:

 

Agreed would have droped Toumpas for Jetta/Strauss and kept Tappy for some much needed grunt

Where was this grunt that Tapscott offers last week. He was very poor and deserves to be dropped. I agree Toumpas didn't provide much but he ran to space which is more than most and I support the idea of not dropping guys after their first game. They ned the chance once the nerves have gone to apply what they learnt.

Keep Toumpas in there. He will be better off for the run. He is the future and cant expect him to walk in and play like Viney does.

Pederson I would have kept. I know he did the drop the head but he was actually ok. Even if we used him as a sub.

Rodan I thought was harsh however with Trengove coming back I get the move. Rapt to see Tom back. He just makes the backline look better.

Glad to see Blease in the 18.

The thing is on paper our team looks pretty good.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
