Changes v Richmond

[Wiseblood 24,637]

With the senior side winning well AND Casey winning in fine fashion, it leaves us with a selection conundrum.

Vince is an automatic inclusion, while we have to wait and see if Garlett is fit.

Does Petracca get a run?  Bit harsh to, potentially, make 3 changes to a winning side.  Oliver was quiet and, while he acquitted himself well, Hunt might miss out as well.

It's going to be an interesting week at the selection table.

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

Just don't change too much.... I'm on my way over from Adelaide for my son's first taste of OUR home ground!

Can't f'ing wait!

[scarlett 247]

I know Bugg played better this week, but he constantly handballed back into a pack and into pressure. He wasn't our worst player today but its just one thing I've noticed and now it's hard not to see it.

[Whispering_Jack 30,876]

If it's not broken, don't fix it ... But I can't see Bernie, Jeff or vanders playing at Casey any time soon.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

I don't know who is in or out, but I do think Lumumba and Tyson hold onto the footy that half a second too long.

At some stage I would like to see one of them get a rest, even if it isn't VFL, it messes with our flow.

I would drop Brayshaw back to the VFL purely for fitness reasons, still looks unfit, and could do with a full game on the ball.

Likely INS for me would be: ANB, Vince, Garlett.

OUT: Tyson, Lumumba or Frost/Brayshaw. Petracca will need another few weeks in the VFL, as will Trengove.

I'd probably give Oliver a rest next week, he wasn't covering the ground quite as well as he had been. 

and i really think we have one to many talls and Frost might go out for Garlett

 

Out: Oliver, Frost

In:  Vince, Garlett

[Bitter but optimistic 22,280]

Vince and Jeffy (if fit) are absolute ins.

Outs??? Brayshaw got a head knock. Oliver didn't do a lot but what he did was fine.

Tough one.

[dl4e 5,851]

Vince and Garlett in if fit.

Out would be Bugg and maybe lumumba or oliver..

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

I was at the Casey game. Petracca was good but djd not demand a game. He also spent all the second half forward. Oliver rested for Vince and Frost (who was actually pretty good) for Garlett. 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

Frost out?!? He was getting picked when he was getting 5 kicks a game, there's no way they'll drop him when he has 19, a goal and a couple of assists.

I think it will be:

In. Vince, Garlett

Out. Oliver (rested), M. Jones

Matt Jones hasn't done much wrong, so consider him unlucky.

 

 

[Biffen 12,947]

I reckon Matt Jones and Bugg will make way for classier players although the Jones boy was busy again today.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Bugg had 29 touches and 9 tackles today.  Zero chance of being dropped.

Same goes for Tyson and Lumumba.  You guys are crazy.

[Deeoldfart 8,082]

Garlett (if fit) and Vince are certainties to return ....... but no idea who the outs might be!  Our Footy Dept got it spot-on this week, despite the widespread criticism / incredulity around this place.  Very happy to leave it to them again ....... they are far smarter than me!

[bjDee 1,249]

Haven't been a M Jones fan but I didn't see him do much wrong today. Lots of running and no stuffed up passes by foot. 

[tappysquads 618]

Yep, saying Bugg should go out is crazy. Cracked in hard all day, 29 and 9 tackles. Would be the first player in history to be dropped after that

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Haven't had this problem in quite a while. Wonder whether we give Garlett one more week to get completely right?

[What 18,810]

Tommy Bugg smashed their mids, went in hard as [censored] and made the Pies playrs [censored] themselves

Not only will he not get dropped but he deserves a statue out the front of the G' for the demolition job he did on the Filth today

Tommy rocks

[Demon Jack 6,931]

In: Vince, Garlett. Maybe Petracca

Out: 2-3 very unlucky players.

Rest Oliver, show Tracc what the new guy can do and make him realise he needs to earn it, not just show potential. 

[Vipercrunch 2,834]

Bugg is a real tough one. Knows how to get it and is tough but at times today really lacked the disposal class. Cost us the first goal then made a few mistakes immediately after. Just doesn't seem to have quick hands.

Frost is another tough call based on today. Didn't complete marks he should have and made mistakes.

Tyson got the 1 vote from MMM today so some rated him very highly.

Hunt was alright after a rough start. Hate to give him only one game but to some degree we haven't had similar selection pressure for a while.

Lumumba was huge in the first quarter and was a prime mover in our heavy scoring.

Going to be some unlucky players...

[mo64 5,881]

Not sure why anyone would bring up Tyson or Lumumba's name when it comes to changes. 

This week against the Tiges is just as important as today's game. Vince in for Hunt (unlucky), and if Garlett is fit, he comes in for either Oliver (rested) or M. Jones (unlucky).

[dazzledavey36 55,453]

Whoever mentions Lumumba as an out should be banned from here. This run and carry game style is suiting H and now starting to get back to his best football he played at the pies.

He is not the only one who makes mistakes but he is so vital in getting the ball moving forward as quickly as possible.

 

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Hard to drop anyone. Will depend upon injuries and match ups against Tigers. Vince and (if fit) Garlett are the only two who might come in imo.

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

Vince and Garlett make the team even better than it was today so they come straight back in.

Rest Oliver. And unfortunately I reckon Hunt misses out.  A bit tough on him but he was a fill in for this game. 

But I would not like to be the selectors this week - some tough decisions to make. 

[Nasher 33,617]

In: Vince, Garlett

Out: Stiff player 1, stiff player 2.

Yep, putting the big calls out there today.
