MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 16

[Gorgoroth 12,352]

Looks a much better balanced side.

[Dee tention 611]

Awesome INs this week.

They all have pace to burn...

I still think there is a spot for Bernie though!

[juzzk1d 1,354]

Goodwin must have read demonland and finally came to his senses of playing Garlett and Spargo in the same team with our inside 50s. 

[Lord Travis 10,268]

Better Ins this week. Let's see how the balance looks with more pace and smalls in the team to provide pressure.

[brendan 3,417]

Should have been the selections last week 

[SFebes 4,694]

Experienced KPD and our forward crumbers equals delishiousness 

No Keilty

[What 18,810]

Best selections for a while.   Exactly what we have been calling for on here.

Two small crumbers, some speed, and an outside mid who can spread.

Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but they...its footy

Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

Jeffy when on song is a terrific small forward. He has surely done his penance and is at his best on the big AFL stage not at some VFL sideshow.

[P-man 13,277]

Hallelujah.

God I hope Frost isn't playing forward. 

Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?

[bing181 8,226]

Hard to argue with the outs, like for like position-wise, except we've exchanged a tall + small forward for two smalls.

Tyson done? Would be a shame, he has some abilities.

[wizardinoz 2,081]

Finally the penny has dropped with the coach. Was only 3 weeks too late, though.

[Dee tention 611]

Paul Roos questioned the selection of the team of late... 

He hinted the selection committee didn’t know what they were doing. I agreed!

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,187]

I see a common theme in the inclusions...

Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ?

Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is.

I don't mind this team...as such

[Drunkn167 5,093]

From a personal perspective pretty disappointed Dec didn’t get in this week, at least he is an emergency though. I understand why the chose who they did, hopefully it’s s good game. 

[GCDee 3,074]

Yes! Jeffy AND Spargo in the same team. 

Great job Goody. 

Stretch makes more sense than Tyson. 

Unfortunately for Dom he is our 5th or 6th best inside mid and cannot play on the out side to save himself. 

Frost in was a must. 

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Good selections overall.  I think we needed to go a little smaller, especially in Darwin with the slippery conditions, but I think it makes us a more balanced side.

Interestingly, Frost has been named at FF.  Will he actually play there is another thing, but they might be using him as the pinch hitter in the ruck this week.

At first I was like, dark helmet?

Then it hit me: LUDICROUS SPEED!

His time will come.

[SFebes 4,694]

Think they’ve nailed selection, finally.

[Moonshadow 16,408]

Aren't we forgetting that Garlett has been very underwhelming in the magoos? What happened to rewarding form at VFL level?

Inconsistent selection choices yet again imo

[Tarax Club 3,187]

Somebody give Frosty Tony Campbell's super sticky footy mitts! He may be frosty but he is no lover of the pre-frost precursor dew.

Agree BUT....He had 7 tackles, maybe that is what they were looking for, forward pressure not necessarily disposals?
