Changes vs Essendon

I think both Gus and Lumumba will both play another game at Casey before being considered.  If Lumumba can get back to some good form he releases Vince to midfield and we become a lot more damaging forward of centre.   I think Dunn for O Mac is the logical one, but considering we're playing the Bombers, they may go with another runner as well.

Out Omac, maybe Bugg and one of Pedo or Frost, too tall with both.

In Dunn, Brayshaw, H.

 

H frees up Vince to go back into the middle of the ground where he belongs.

 

out; OMAC & Bugg

in; Dunn & Brayshaw

M. Jones has turned it around massive.

Not a fan of playing both Pederson and Frost in the same side. It's one or the other for mine. Dunn will come in for O Mac and would love to see Brayshaw play.

Dunn in,  O Mac out

Tyson out [couple weeks @ Casey focusing on what to do with the pill when he gets it]  Brayshaw or Petracca in.

Possible Bugg out [2 huge mistakes in Q1]     in-  H, Brayshaw or Terlich (only if he's as improved as some say)

Nope we need skills at half back. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Add an extra mid, don't move Vince from where he is needed for Lumumba's lack of skills/smarts

I disagree, get Vince getting the ball from the mid forward, he is not a great defender nor is Salem. One is ok, two equals lose players for them. If Salem stays on half back, Vince needs to go in the midfield.

You guys reckon Garlett will get off for his hit on Davis?

They have a rule on insufficient force. 


Brayshaw in for Bugg (Tyson is lucky)

Dunn in for O.Mac

Lumumba in but not sure who for. Maybe Frost (Harmes's best is better) - and we push Tyson forward.

I still don't get why people have such a hard-on for Frost.  Even if he gets it, you know he won't kick the goal.  By any measure, Pederson had more impact today even below his best.

Brayshaw for Oliver; I would like to see him rested.

Blasphemer!!

As an atheist, how can I blaspheme?

 

I don't understand the "experience" comments re Lumumba.. All i've seen is him getting the ball, running with it and banging it it a mile in the air,

On a slightly different matter, does anyone think think this this years scarf is a bit short?

Looks the same to me. Has your neck gotten thicker DN?

Took a number of good marks and otherwise got to the right spots down back. We needed him in the midfield after half time but we don't solve our lack of skill from half back with Lumumba. If the plan was Vince and Salem we should stick to it. 

The defenders will get more cohesion as they work together. 

Lumumba can come in and play half back and bit of wing, similar to how Bugg played, but I still think we need one of Jones and Vince back there. We need skill and smarts back there.

Out: O. McDonald (injured or dropped), Brayshaw

In: Dunn, Harmes/Bugg

 

I would not be upset if Tyson was dropped, Frost stays in simply to help Gawn and Pedersen in the ruck.

Now that is a neat trick CB poor Brayshaw gets  flung when he did not play today.

Dunn in for O Mac straight swap and that improves our backline. 

Love to see Brayshaw back. 

Agree. Dunn for OMac. But I think Gus, H and Tracc will get at least another week at Casey before consideration. Obviously also depends upon match ups. Wonder if Garlett will get cited by MRP

Edited by Moonshadow

I think the first game for the Scorps is 9/2 so we can't drop anyone to the twos otherwise I would be saying drop Tyson just so he can work out what to do with a bit more time up his sleeve. As some one else suggested he may be able to do that against the bummers. Omac had a run and will benefit from it and Dunny should be back in for him. Leave Brayshaw JT and Petracca where they are this week at least. Trust the selectors to do what they will with Lumumba. Lots to look forward to, lots to be excited about. Maybe their bad kicking helped us but our lack of conversions from inside 50's helped them  so I reckon that squares it up a bit. 


In: Dunn, Brayshaw

Out: OMac (inj), Bugg/Frost

I'm not convinced Lumumba is best 22 so I don't think he's automatically back in.

Not sure who to drop for Brayshaw. Might be a tall, I felt we were too tall at times in the forward line. If so I'd drop Frost. He's just a more mobile Dawes at the moment but a worse shot for goal and no better at marking. If not, then I'd drop Bugg. Harmes offers a little more as a half-forward who can snag a goal or two (but absolutely needs to lift his output).

Out:OMac

In: Brayshaw or H.

I think we were a little tall today, and Frost and Pedo up front clogged up the forward line. Watts is the third tall doesn't crowd Hogan as much. Against the bombers I don't think we need to load up with talls, and should not go like for like.

Pedo can take CHB for next week, did a good job when moved there late I thought.

The Prince is a possibility for next week.

agreed chook.  if the prince comes in, & Vince stays at back flank, Salem could come up to wing?

frost could go back to CHB, or pedo?

 

interesting selection week.

We won so I don't reckon the boat will get too much of a shake but Brayshaw is best 22 and must come in.

Someone else can work it out.

I not sure we can afford an underdone Brayshaw & Oliver,  in the same side.  can't drop Oliver.

I think Brayshaw needs a full game,  before he comes back after a month off training/running.
