Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
I thought Gram was in our top half dozen last week, and has been good since his return... Just a lot of automatic hate for him for some reason... If only our more average players performed at his level, we would be far better off...
No idea about the changes... I'd like to say Ledger in, but I have been hoping it every week for 6 weeks, so I may as well just skip it this week..

Maybe Gwilt for Sippos; could allow Gilbert to move to a wing, and have Gwilty play back.

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
I see Blake, Jones and Polo get everything out of themselves. Then I see Gram.
As far as I see it in 2012, either youth or honesty. If you have neither, you are out of the team.

Because people call a cold the flu. I reckon if you really have the flu it is impossble to get out of bed. I have had it once in my life and it was the worst week you could imagine. I still remember it and it would have been 25 years ago.

I flippantly used the word flu for a cold, until about 5 years ago...hubby and I got hit with the real deal. Yuck, hopefully never again.

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
I can't believe how much people cry out to 'play the kids'…
Then after only 1 game, and even half a game (including a great goal), we are now asking for Siposs & Saad to be dropped… Surely we'll give them a few like Newnes and Cripps before giving them the chop?
Out
Fisher, Polo,
In
Wilkes, Ledger
Kosi to unfortunately play more ruck with Stanley, Blake to the backline, and Wilkes at FF.
Not worth risking the quality of Gwilt unless he is 100% ready.
Polo was alright again, would just really like to see Ledger in the big leauge, for a whole match.

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
Regardless of what happened last year I reckon games should be earned. I like Sippos, reckon he has genuine talent, but he was poor last week and there are better options if we are actually trying to win games of football. And Saad had about 5 possessions in a half of footy, some of which he was on the wing for. Keep one but not both for this week. I picked Saad, could have been Sippos.Dr Spaceman wrote:Regardless of what people thought of Siposs last week I think we've got to get away from dropping kids after one game.

It's not primary school where participation is what's encouraged. In the big league games should be earned.

We need to consider the gains by allowing kids to settle into the side and adjust to the tempo.
And we don't want to give kids an opportunity only for them to stress out about whether they'll be given the flick 2 hours later.

As far as I see it in 2012, either youth or honesty. If you have neither, you are out of the team.
IMHO Grammy comes across as soft, lazy and uncommitted. Yep he got 24 possies last week, but basically just drifted along in his comfort zone. On several occassions he could have run to add numbers to a contest, could have applied a shepherd or could have attempted a smother (coz he was close enough) - but he just spectated.
![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)
Then, like Punter, I go and compare that to the effort put in by far less gifted blokes like those listed above...
Until this year I've been a huge admirer, but enough is enough. This output and (seeming) attitude just isn't anywhere near good enough for a player who is soooo talented. For me it's put in, be a role model to the younger guys, or go and cruise around with Sandy.
Show the way Grammy, or get out of the way!
Hi Plugger, for the reasons listed above (and elsewhere) this is one of the very few times I can't share your assessment of a player. That said, I totally agree with your second statement...plugger66 wrote: I thought Gram was pretty good last week. Anyway he wont be dropped.

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
Completely agree Doc..assessing the benefit of a player must be done over at least 3 games. The quick draw/baptism of fire method for me is flawed and I can't see any advantages for the team going forward.Dr Spaceman wrote:Fair enough, but the earning of the spot starts with the form at Sandy.St DAC wrote:Regardless of what happened last year I reckon games should be earned.
