Changes next week - what to do?

[Maldonboy38 6,403]

We need Spencer to stay in so Gawn can play forward.

Pederson can be replaced only if Roos is prepared to take the risk of playing Max King. I can't see either of Dawes or Hogan being near selection until round 3 at least.

OUT : - McDonald (inj), Fitzpatrick (inj), Byrnes, Pederson

IN : - King, Blease, Evans/Viney, Gawn

Is Clisby anywhere near ready to return?

How far away is Garland?

[InVINCEable 358]

Out: Pedersen, Byrnes

In: Viney and Blease

[chookrat 4,250]

I'd leave the team pretty much the same unless we have to make some changes:

- Gawn for Fitzy if he needs a week from concussion, or if Pedo has to swing back in place of Tom Mc

If we have to bring a second player in they must be able to kick goals, so Blease for mine.

Obviously Hogan should be picked if available in place of Fitzy or Pedo.

[DemonFrog 1,354]

Recruit another team, if we actually want to win games.

[Demon Jack 6,909]

Wasn't it mentioned that Hogan may be ok for next week?

I bloody hope so haha!

Changes

Out: Fitz/Pedo (Depending on Fitzy's concussion, Pedo out if Fitzy is able to play), Byrnes, Bail

In: Gawn, Blease, Viney (if avaliable)

Give JKH another shot and play him for the full game.

[Demon Jack 6,909]

Also, how far away is Jamar?

[Axis of Bob 11,809]

Those wanting to bring in an 18 year old rookie ruckman have a loose grip on reality.

[dee-luded 2,959]

bring in howe Sorry he was playing wasnt he? No bring in viney and if Tom doesnt come up another backman. Id drop Bail for Blease or even evans.

Gawn in for Fitzy.

we need reliability & some competitive strength. 4 changes?

Gawn, + 3 of > Evans, Viney, Tapscott, McKenzie, Clisby, Blease, Jetta, Barry,

[dee-luded 2,959]

Also, how far away is Jamar?

maybe next week, but without a recent run.

[Vince Vega 40]

Looks like Max King will get and early debut...

Pederson can be replaced only if Roos is prepared to take the risk of playing Max King. I can't see either of Dawes or Hogan being near selection until round 3 at least.

OUT : - McDonald (inj), Fitzpatrick (inj), Byrnes, Pederson

IN : - King, Blease, Evans/Viney, Gawn

How far away is Garland?

King is a rookie so someone has to go down badly before he gets a chance. Also, I watched an interview with Jade Rawlings on DeeTV the other day where he mentioned Neville Jetta was pushing for selection so it looks like he might be the next in line for an upgrade.

I don't think garland has trained much in the past 6 weeks. I'd be surprised to see him this week

we need transition players who'll deliver.

imo, our weaknesses were small forwards & a lack of a tall focal points. Bail wasn't the answer up front. We need Viney/Evans to play forward. maybe push Bail up the field somewhere.

our lack of forwardline balance & potency, sapped the rest of the team of their belief.

Next week we need a team full of hard edged competitors.

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Get a forward target.

[rpfc 28,426]

Byrnes, Pedersen and Spencer are just not liked by the masses.

Byrnes was our only dangerous forward last night (which says a lot), Spencer worked incredibly hard and we have no other options and Pedersen was playing a role is struggles to fulfil but should have kicked 3 if he wasn't a lazy kick.

If we had fit players in form ready to come in?

Hypotheticals are irrelevant to reality.

We just don't have many to come in.

[CBDees 3,167]

Assuming Viney played and got through a full game.

In: Gawn, Blease, Viney,

Out: Pederson, Michie, JKH

Pederson to play back if T-Mac out.

Why would you drop Michie (c.f. Byrnes for example)? He wasn't our worst player by a long shot!

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,177]

Why would you drop Michie (c.f. Byrnes for example)? He wasn't our worst player by a long shot!

You have to replace the roles that are there. I don't rate Byrnes but he kicked two and got his hands on it 14 times and we need an opportunist forward. Michie had limited ball in a midfield role until late in the game. Turned it over more often than not and from what I could see was the least accountable of our midfield group. He was clearly in our bottom 5 last night in my view.

[What 18,810]

As long as Viney and Gawn come in Ill be happy

I guess theres no chance of Hogan or Dawes

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

id try evans as a crumbing forward if he's not injured

[DemonOX 8,791]

Wasn't it mentioned that Hogan may be ok for next week?

Look there's a pig flying!!

[The Great One 99 125]

Look there's a pig flying!!

Out: Pederson

In: The Pig

[old dee 23,791]

Look there's a pig flying!!

You have made my day DemonOX

Brighten it immensely.

Thank you.

[BrisbaneDemon 1,572]

How far away is Jamar? Why don't we bring in Gawn into the forwards and can ruck and have Jamar just play forward?

[Jaded No More 68,915]

What's happening with McKenzie?

We need a tagger vs West Coast

My eyes can't cope with Pederson for much longer. He actually gives me hives.

[Lordweaver 235]

remove pedo, replace with anyone, bring in blease for some run, clisby in as well

[SaberFang 7,151]

Realistically who do you think Roos will actually drop? He has stated repeatedly that he wants men in his team and not kids.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

How far away is Jamar? Why don't we bring in Gawn into the forwards and can ruck and have Jamar just play forward?

Problem is Jamar can neither mark nor kick
