Changes vs the Saints


What

Recommended Posts

Tyson was better off playing a full game at Casey to gain some match fitness not as the sub.. And no Brayshaw will not be rested this week. I dare say they will be managing his workloads during the weeks anyway

Sometimes you got to select the team to win.

I'm all for management (Brayshaw this week) but Tyson could have been the difference in the last.

What's better for the team- QB win or Tyson regaining match fitness at Casey?

I understand the resting Brayshaw philosophy.. But there is a bye around the corner and the evidence is pretty clear, the kid is getting better and running out games better than early in year. He is the exact type that gets more out of playing.

Orrrrr Tyson could have re-injured himself seeing the sub ended up playing half the game.

How does that go for your "management" policy?

I wonder how long before Kent and Frost become "season"

They have been five weeks ever since they were injured.

There is only 12 weeks to go.

Kent was originally 10-12 weeks... Misson has said all along he has been ahead of schedule but by the time 5 weeks is up and he regains match fitness thats 8 weeks, might be back for the last 3 or 4 games

I bow to your superior knowledge JV7

Those figures look season ending to me.

My management policy is pretty simple:

First year player- perhaps don't rely on him to win games Hogans Heros.

Fourth year player- is given plenty of time to recover, bring in as sub to help win important game.

Irrelevant about further injury, that could happen anywhere. Match fitness? Team win first.

Which players would make us better?

Chris Dawes - POSSIBLY

Sam Frost - POSSIBLY

Jay Kennedy-Harris - NOT AT THIS STAGE

Dean Kent - YES

Christian Petracca - ONE WOULD ASSUME YES

Christian Salem - YES

Jack Trengove - HOPEFULLY, POSSIBLY, BUT WHO KNOWS IF HE EVEN CAN RETURN

Aaron vandenBerg - YES

I doubt many agree with me re JKH, but I feel he still has a lot to learn and improvement to make before he is in our current best 22.

Tyson hasn't played since round 7 and has missed large chunks of seasons due to injury.

You say management and then you say "team win first". Ridiculous.

you could argue that at the start of the year next year:

B: Jetta - Dunn - Garland

HB: Howe - T. McDonald - Salem

C: vandenBerg - N Jones - Vince

HF: Watts - Dawes - Kent
F: Frost - Hogan - Garlett

Foll: Gawn - Tyson - Viney

I/C: Trengove - Brayshaw - Petracca

Sub: JKH

is our best 22...

(cross presumably having retired.)

easily arguable that if not best 22, those injury list players would be in our top 25.

Every team we have played this year has had so much luck, our injury list has been loaded and our opponents have been empty..

Possibly one glimmer of good news - Viney not on that list

Looks a pretty decent 22 - dream that they may all get on the park together

Take Dawes out and you're close 'Andrew'...

Christian Salem has apparently re injured his other hamstring and could miss another 4 weeks.

Is this fact or are you talking out of your ass again like you were regarding Vineys scans?

Stuie, management isn't only taking the safest option.

If Tyson played as sub instead of M Jones do you think the result might be different? I'd say there's a significant chance. M Jones isn't an impact player, Tyson is.

People here want Roos to stop making excuses, start going after wins. I agree with that, certainly to the extent of putting Tyson in that position.

That game is over - I'm saying resting Brayshaw will be considered but is a totally different case to Tyson.

I think most supporters will lose interest for the foreseeable future if we drop this game:-

In - Dom Tyson, Jack Grimes

Out - Aaron vandenBerg (injured) , Matt Jones

Speak for yourself. We are a team in transition and the reality is we are transitioning to the Goodwin era. There are a host of things to be of great interest to the serious supporter that understands winning is only one goal of this period. I look forward to much more in every game and I will do so to the end of the year.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
