Who relieved Gawn? (I'm OS).

TMac.

Did well, IMO.

JKH laid 8 tackles and had 4 score involvements. He would have done what the coach had required of him to earn his spot for another week. 

Depending on how Casey goes, might be Hannan for Tyson. 

9 tackles I think.  

No way he gets dropped 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,383]

In J Smith

Out B Vince

 

[What 18,810]

No change.

Though I still dont like Vince and Lewis in the same team.

Weideman for Hannan. Apart from anything else, lets us leave Tom McD up forward the whole match as Weideman would cover  for Gawn.

Tyson for Viney seems obvious, perhaps they wanted more pace against the Dogs, but do we need more grunt against Geelong?

[picket fence 18,184]

Tyson for Hannan will be about it!

Given the dimensions of Geelong’s ground, longish and skinny, maybe it is more grunt in the middle that is needed, rather than leg speed, so maybe it’s Tyson and he played well today.

I think you can have both as long as they keep the rest of the pace in the team.

I don’t agree with needing more grunt.  Geelong are an average clearance team and we have inside mids to punish them, keep the pace in.  Hannan stays, no change.

Kennedy-Harris won't be dropped, but he's not up to it.

[spirit of norm smith 16,679]

Tyson for Hannan

jkh gets another week

vince on notice 

emergencies Baker Hannan Weideman 

[shorty 233]

This game will be won or lost by our defence, if we leak goals it's game over. Menzel always gets hold of us. I think any changes now will be experienced players only.

Especially after Goodwin bear hugged him after the game.

The bear hug is the kiss of death, just ask Jack Trengove! It implies you've worked so hard to get on the team and earn the hug and next weeks selection, so that when you fail the next time, it will end up being the last.

Viney didn't play so are you saying Tyson instead of Weideman to replace Hannan? Otherwise who do we drop in addition to Hannan?

At any rate, I'm not sure about playing Weideman. The forward line balance feels much better since we went smaller and given we're prone to running TMac up on the wing at times anyway, we may as well make that stint a ruck stint and keep some pace in the side.

Menzel is a lurker who preys on mistakes, minimise them and it limits his influence

I watched a bit of the Cats-Crows game. I'd be shocked if Menzel got a game after that effort. It was pathetic.

 

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Smith in please.

I need some mid cover in my supercoach team. Dropping like flies.

I thought it was Jetta (39) he bear hugged

Hannan has been a real disappointment this year. Hasn’t progress at all.

I get that hes probably not having the same impact as last year, but hes played 11 games this year and has kicked 16.14.. thats already 30 scoring shots at goal..  but to say hes not progressed at all is a bit of a stretch...

Personally i think he's developing just fine.

[Smokey 4,391]

Hannan probably the only one in the mix to be dropped for mine, everyone else was serviceable enough at the very least. 

Maybe Balic could get a run. 

I'd rather Vanders but he needs another week or two at Casey (or at least a game in normal conditions to see where he is actually at).

Please no Dom Tyson. Please. 

[jackaub 1,402]

No Change in my opinion

Hannan is going ok. He needs to clean up his kicking for goal. No poroblems with his endeavour.

He gets plenty of opportunity to score  butneeds to improve accuracy. He will kick a small bag soon.

No Tyson please!

Someone said to me, that JKH, like players who are given a chance, often play with the fear that a mistake could see them dumped. This clearly would restrict their natural instinct and ability to play well. On that basis, without any better player being available, he gets another game. 

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137]

Fritsch spent most if not all of the last quarter on the half back line and played very well there. That might be a hint that Vince is in trouble and that the match committee believe they've got a replacement for Fritsch on the wing. Of course, as someone mentioned earlier, that might just have been to cover Jetta who I hadn't realised spent a lot of time on the bench in the last quarter.

Anyway, I think Vince and Hannan would be the only two players who might be replaced although I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is no change.
