Changes vs the Saints

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?

 

You want to wait for the evidence?!

First year kid + on Etihad + toughest opening fixture + rising star win + know when you're on top = manage

Agree he might need a rest, but why not wait another week when we play Geelong in Geelong?

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.

good post.

In regards to JKH, i would say

JKH- SOMETIMES YES, SOMETIMES NO.

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.

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.


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?

arghhhhh

Viney, Salem and Kent all looked like breaking out in 2015 out and all got hit by bad injuries

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.

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.

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

Was mentioned on SEN on the weekend DH.

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
