Changes vs Crows

[What 18,810]

Season on the line, you would think. Cant see us coming back from 3-5 when its so close and none of the current top 8 teams look like falling away too much.

In - ANB, Stretch

Out - Bugg, JKH

 

Sam Jacobs will have a party, it could get very bad for us unfortunately.

[deeflog 679]

INS- stretch, anb & kent

OUTS- jkh, bugg, wagner

jkh a delist at season end candidate, his 3 weeks in the seniors has been putrid

[whatwhat say what 22,159]

Hard to see much other than that.

If Wagner goes out injured then presumably Melksham will replace, and if Vince does get suspended - again, for being stupid and getting sucked in, again - then is it finally time to give Trengove another go?

[SaberFang 7,151]

This one is going to get ugly. We barely get over the line against cellar-dwellers; good luck playing against the team averaging 135 points per game (especially after they suffered an embarrassing loss -- sound familiar?)

[Gorgoroth 12,712]

If JKH plays this week I will microwave my membership. Played with 21 players for three fucken weeks.

drop bugg, Hannan, did any talls play well for Casey? I hope so so Omac can [censored] off too.

I've decided to play the blind faith card this week and I'll be arguing that we can win this game all week.  The first way to win will be at the selection table.

In:  Stretch, Kent, Kennedy

Out:  JKH, Bugg, Hannan

Already have a feeling that Jetta will keep Betts goalless.

[Soidee 1,496]

No changes!  This team will absolutely [censored] Adelaide.  

[Waltham33 475]

I have nothing against ANB and Melksham coming back in but what would it say as we have just dropped them. Probably that outside our top 12 players, it's much of a muchness

 

[olisik 4,060]

In: Trengove, Kent, Harmes, Stretch

Out: JKH, JKH, JKH for the love of God JKh

Also out: Hannan, Wagner, Omac

 

[Demon Jack 6,741]

Out: JKH, Bugg

In: Stretch, Kent

 

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Out: JKH

In: Kent

JKH has been beyond ordinary. But I don't think we have seen the last of him. I'm tipping a Jetta like turnaround perhaps without the delisting and placement on the rookie list.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,283]

Is anyone else a bit bewildered as to why we brought in Wagner after just one game at Casey?

He isn't overly quick or tall, and is more suited to the 3rd tall, which hibberd is already playing.

I felt like we lacked run in the midfield today and think we lost at selection. Bring in Stretch instead of Wagner and we may have just got over the line.

 

[SaberFang 7,151]

Working out who to bring in and drop from ANB, JKH, Bugg, Melksham and Hannan is just shuffling deck chairs. These are commendable but ultimately mediocre players who lack the talent required to take us to the next level.

We're really getting exposed for the glaring deficiencies on our list. I hear a lot of raving about our depth but it's barely VFL standard.

Out:won't matter

In: won't matter

 

players will have a crack as they have done all year, but we will seriously be outclassed this week 

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,283]

I want the following changes:

Ins: Kent, Stretch, ANB

Out: Wagner, JKH, Bugg

We are too slow and the three players being dropped all lack leg speed and are being replaced with players with actual leg speed.

We also had too many players of a similar build in defence with Wagner in, he should only be required if a backman is out.

Final team:

B: Jetta      O Mac        Frost

HB: Hibberd    T Mac      Hunt

C:  Lewis      Viney       Jones

HF: Petracca   Hogan   Kent

F:  Garlett      Watts     Hannan

R: Pedersen   Tyson    Oliver

Int: Stretch   ANB     Vince    Salem

[ArtificialWisdom 4,044]

In:  ANB, Kent, Stretch

Out:  JKH, Bugg, Hannan

First thing Goody said in the post match was that there wasn't enough pressure. All the forwards are on the chopping block.

The fact is your talking about these guys being pretty mediocre which is true but we need those types. We need them to be giving 100% with massive pressure to allow the talented players to do their work. We cant have 22 stars, unfortunately today our bottom rung players did not bring what is required that means they should go out of the side. The bottom 2-3 players should be coming in and out of the side as they fluctuate in form, that how it works for every side.

We'll get massacred this week, Crows at home on the rebound, us turning ball over time and time again

JKH, Bugg, Hannan out

Kent, ANB, Stretch in

Other teams must laugh at the execution of our game-plan. 

They just have to sit back, watch us handball backwards/in circles under little pressure, turn it over with a hospital handpass to a stationary target, then score against us on the rebound because our defensive zone leaves their forward line wide open (and all our defenders are concentrated within a 5 meter radius going for the mark).

Betts is going to have a field day.

Pretty much.

Not to the result anyway. But we'll get back to just trying to play our brand now. And for that...

In: ANB, Weed

Out: Bugg, JKH

Weed only if he's right to go. We needed another tall leadup type. And if Lynch plays will need an extra tall as all of TMac Omac and Frost will have their hands full all day.

The Omac sooks are in fine voice yet again, and for absolutely no reason. Was pretty good today without starring with heaps of disposals. Frost was agony 1st quarter and ecstasy 3rd.

I've been defending JKH, but he's gotta go. Not quite doing enough to keep the ball in. It's a vital job in Goody's system and ANB does it better.

Bugg probably unlucky but he's had his two, and will be moved back again. Maybe also for Harmes or preferably Kent. Stretch also.

Wags will get a second game. Got lit up at one point and played it out. Looked a little off the pace, but that's how you go one game back from interrupted year.

Maybe Kennedy in too. Coach wasn't crazy about 9 shots to two or something.

Oliver was ok ,so was Viney

So Tyson might get the chop as they won't drop Jones ,even though he was scratchy early.

 

[jumbo returns 6,703]

No change

[buck_nekkid 5,819]

Gawd, so many down below minimum requirements.

we have to set up to beat the crows, we certainly didn't to beat the Hawks.  Gave them too much room and time to do their precision passes, and stood back and watched them play through us more often than not.  Stop Sloane (hard tag), fix up inside 50 transition, and bring pressure on the ball carrier and the next kick.

who to bring in?  Anyone who will give 100% for 4 quarters, prefer kick to handball, and bring pressure as a minimum.

[Moonshadow 17,551]

In this week:

Gawn, Smith, Smith and... er, Spencer

Outs:

Er....oh [censored] it, whatever.....

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Change the formation. 17 at the back, 1 striker. Park the bus.

Adelaide are going to walk through our shambolic defensive structure. 

Essendon scored 80 odd over there, I'd be happy with that. Problem is they'll double it.
