Trenners for Harmes

It may be that he does though, which again just points to it being an issue of confidence.

He kicked 7.1 against the Aints and 5.1 against Brisbane.  Last year he kicked 44.19.  Fundamentally, he must be able to kick.  

It would be bloody nice to see him have a nice, fluid set shot action like Watts does, I'll admit.  If we can get ProDee to say "if only Hogan was a bit more like Watts", I'll have officially seen everything on this forum.

NO CHANGE. Weed has a taste of AFL footy which is good, I would like for him to work on his physical strength and not take a risk in case of injury.2017 he will get plenty of game time. Regardless whether Pedo did not play well,not everyone in a winning side needs to play well.

My eyes are always on Hogan, Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw....must play....all....every week....for the next ten years....

But we all know you don't learn anything at training and the only thing that's important is doing it on game day. I don't know why they even bother doing any kicking at training. In fact, why bother training at all.

I've spent a fair bit of time at training and keenly kept an eye on Hogan's goal-kicking and I've never seen him attempt a kick from 50 or beyond.  He always sets up about 35 metres out.

maybe both !! 

I understand the rationale to rest Hoges, but it comes across as a risky decision because though he has off days, when he is on, he is on. I just have a feeling he is going to have a cracker next week and make up for the past couple of games. That being said, it is tough trying to see how we change the team. On another note, can we just acknowledge how far Oscar McDonald has come? It really is all starting to pay off...

Early 2016 Ben Kennedy would be a nice addition for someone like Harmes - same level of pressure and intensity and uses it better

also i used to have Bugg in the same category as these guys but his set shots the last two weeks have really surprised me he was butchering it everywhere earlier in the year

Commentator at the Scorps match has mentioned that JKH has been offered a three year contract by Carlton.

hed get a game there...will struggle with us from here on in Id think

The ones who struggled against Port were Hogan, Harmes and Garlett. Hogan had a quiet patch last year too, but came through it so leave him be. Harmes out for Salem but only if Salem plays an exceptional game for Casey today. The difficult one is Garlett. He may stay in to stick one up Carlton but his attitude and concentration at th moment are below standard. Again, if JKH plays a good game then he comes in for Garlett. 

Weids for Pedo, maybe Salem for Harmes.

Hogan will play at The MCG

He is due for a Big One....

Disagree. Reckon Garlett was okay work rate-wise. Vandenberg's the guy I'd be dropping. He wouldn't have marked a beachball last night. And he continues to be a contender for our worst handballer. Most of them go at the feet of his team mates. 

Pedersen worked far harder than Hogan last night.

Hogan hasn't kicked a goal since the saints game - still wouldn't drop him though.

yeah...shucks...with such a return from your gun fwd  you wouldnt would you .....oh wait 

Garlett will probably be saved by his two late goals. Might be a confidence boost for him.

But most of his problems lately have been from laziness near goal. He continually gets behind his opponent, on purpose, to try to tip the ball out the back and go for the flashy goal. Low percentage.

Also he has "small forwards disease" where he wants to dribble the ball through the posts. Like his point last night. Why give the ball an opportunity to take a bad bounce or slice like a golf shot. Unless you're on an impossible angle and the only way to get it though is to try for the sideways bounce, kick the thing in the air, over the line. Balls don't tend to take bad bounces in the air.

No changes other than for injury/fitness reasons.

This side has a nice balance to it.

He does, but that won't stop 3 or 4 pages of waffle after a good win    nobody want Omac dropped this week?

I like that we waste time each week debating Hogan. We know he won't get dropped but we like to pretend because he hasn't signed for 5 years that Roos might drop him. 2nd year forward in the top 10 afl goal kickers - we persist because of the development and upside. 

 

Harmes, Pedersen, and VDB will be discussed but unless Weid has a great week on the track or Salem has a blinder, no change. 

Agreed.
