titan_uranus 25,255 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 With a four day break and a few passengers today, there are a few options on the table here. Jetta was really poor and I wouldn't be upset to see Rivers return. Each of Jones, Brayshaw and Bennell struggled IMO. But is there anyone outside the 22 who is an improvement? Does TMac get one of their spots? Are we going to see players like Smith or Hunt or ANB coming in to bring some extra run after the short break?

Not sure what is happening with Harmes. Jetta looks in trouble. Need to stop kick outs to Max. At least bring in Mc Donald as another tall option! 3 1
Diamond_Jim 12,778 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Last Chance Saloon It's where you bring your best guns. Not sure we can put out a much better side. I suspect we will have plenty of time to experiment for the rest of the season. Just now, defuture15 said: Need to stop kick outs to Max.

Dead set so predictable. 16
bing181 9,474 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Jones was OK, not the worst. Equal most I50's, which is what you need from a wing. Amongst the rest, time for Tom Sparrow? 1

I still think the game is passing him by but he did okay. I think Jetta needs a spell. Give Rivers another crack. I'd also not be against Gus getting dropped for Tomlinson. Also, I hope they stick with Jackson and Weideman. Outside of the dodgy kicking for goal from Weid, both are doing a good job right now. They deserve to keep their spots. 2

3Dee 1,153 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 I think we need to rest our younger ducks and get the older ducks in for Thursday nights game. 2

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Goodwin gave him a special gee up at 3 qtr time but he didn’t respond at all. Harmes is having an ordinary season and there wouldn’t be one game this year where he’s been in our best 6-8. Like Brayshaw, he’s probably struggling with a clearly defined position on the ground. 2

Like Brayshaw, he’s probably struggling with a clearly defined position on the ground. Possibly (he was pretty good last week IIRC), but he's barely been in our bottom 6-8 like, unfortunately, Jetta and Brayshaw were today.

Older demon 2,828 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 I don't think we adapted to the wet (they did get 160mm of rain an hour before the game). I doubt Goody will make too many changes. I was pleased for Jones on the wing he did his job. Sadly the game has passed Nev by, at the moment and he will be rested. I would like to see T Mac back and would replace Fritsch who just isn't doing enough.If he doesn't mark it he does nothing on the ground and is out of form IMO. I also wonder if Bennell will be rested on a 5 day break. Out Jetta Fritch IN T Mac definite Smith or Neal Bullen (latter 2 were emergencies for this game so they must be close)

If it’s another wet slippery pitch I would not play Kosi or Pickett. dont misunderstand me I think both are future stars but in these conditions Tom McD and ANB would have been better
dimmy 1,308 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 TMac back to provide a mobile big man around the ground to take some predictability off Max (who is doing a great job) Jackson was great in first half, but I think a young player would find it hard to back up after a 4 day break. Having said that , just like we have a million inside mids we seem to have a lot of medium fwds in Hannan, Melsham and Fritsch. SO maybe one of them may be rested. Unfortunately I feel Nev Jetta is struggling with pace of the game at the moment, Lockart was good tonight so maybe Rivers gets another go. 1
P-man 13,367 Posted July 26, 2020 Posted July 26, 2020 Surely Gus has run out of lives. Almost anyone would be an upgrade atm. Wouldn’t mind seeing Sparrow get a go 4 1
