Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 6

[chook fowler 19,778]

Pedo not being named may be a clue that T Mac will line up.

seven ins just blows my mind ... sorry will have to wait until they pare the side down tomorrow.

Stretch was definitely unlucky by comparison to many of those left in the side.

Good luck to Spargo. He does have good ball sense.

I believe you are suggesting he played at a less than optimum level... something shared by a number of players who are still included in the team was the gist of my post.

It's going to be painful to watch if ANB plays a 6th consecutive poor game in a row. I really don't see the reasoning behind picking a player who's only strength is his running capacity at this moment...I would have thought an ability to dispose of the footy would be a higher priority. Times are a changing...

[Diamond_Jim 12,773]

Naming Tom Mac on the extended bench smacks of mind games.

Good luck but I hope it works out .. with our luck who knows

He did lay 9 tackles against Richmond, so not exactly "done nothing".

Ok he tackles.  How many years on the list?  Wanna see improvement!

Just saw the bombers side, if we don’t beat that side we’ve got serious issues. 

Famous last words SFebey. 

This is the MFC after all.

5 goals and BOG in a loosing side.  Seriously don't understand why he isn't in the side (or wasn't last game against the Tigs for that matter).  Weid still offers way too little other that a hope that he will one day be great.

Pedo is the Dean Jones of the MFC.

I actually like Pedo but he hasn't really delivered. And its not just us. He's 31yo and has only played 70ish games at two clubs. North didnt rate him either...

Harmes may have laid 9 tackles, but he was caught with the ball 3 times giving away free kicks.

We are jinxed Pettraca out with a finger infection from a dog bite ..

Looks like Spargo will debut according to the club website- Garlett is in trouble methinks.

Spargo is in for more speed, it will be one of ANB, Harmes or Vince who goes.

They don’t usually drop anyone named in the starting 18

You got the 'Less Than'' part right DJ.  I'm just struggling to work out what it was less than!

Yeah I know mate, I should’ve just shut up. I’d be devastated even we lost to that side

[hemingway 7,633]

We are in a bit of trouble.

Players retained who have hardly had a kick.

Players selected who have hardly had a kick at VFL level (exception Spargo)

Players selected who lack a yard (Lewis)

Player overlooked who has been our best at VFL level (Pedo)

What to do?  I really have no idea.

We are in a pickle.

Your right. Team looks slow with Vince & Lewis in the starting 18. Vince, ANB & Harmes must be on notice.

My interchange would be TMac, Spargo, Frischte & Garlett. All know how to kick a goal, and we have plenty of players who can go in the backline if needed.

We have serious issues - will be seriously serious issues if we can't get over them Sunday. Expecting a nailbighting shite-fest - possibly ending in a rush for remaining seats to Noosa in September.
