players out for next week...

[st philip]

Out

m.gardiner - hamstring
s.demster - injury (not sure what yet)
j.gwilt - no skills


In
D.Armitidge
S.Birss
B.McEvoy (although without wanting to second guess our super coach, he'll more than likely pick Rix)

anyone else, suggestions?

[Newman]

Gwilt?????? No way - he gets my vote for another selection. McQualter before him

[st philip]

did we watch the same game???

i mean, i know you want to go for the fro but seriously, he is another tim elliot, except tim elliot tried.

[Iceman234]

Can't believe Gwilt was brought back for one game, let alone two. He has no idea.

But I can see Gwilt, M Gard and Dempster dropping out for Fiora, Rix and Raph.

thats like getting the booby prize, imagine, behind door no.2. is fiora, but wait there is still more, he comes with Rix, and that's not all...they are a packaged deal with raph clarke.

kill me now!

[markinUSA]

We really need to hear the injury list. SEN were saying some of our players were 'sore'... don't know if that meant they were injured or not. Eg Harves, Dal, Roo.

[mad saint guy]

I'm guessing it will be

OUT: M.Gardiner (inj ), Dempster (inj/hack), Gwilt (gone), Geary (young and not dominating)
IN: Rix (he played well for Casey so he must be good!), Birss (hmmm...he wasn't playing too badly when you think about it), L.Fisher (we need more taggers!), Armitage (just in for a game or two)

[nicko016]

In relation to McEvoy, I think from this point on he should be brought into the side whenever one of King or Gardy is out with possibly one exception being Freo because of Sandilands because of his sheer size and weight. Its just unfortunate that this week happens to be against Freo. That means Rix gets a gig which is probably deserved after a good game against Sandringham today.

However, on the other hand if Kosi doesn't come up I think it would be a great opportunity to bring McEvoy up to play forward, especially as he's been looking much better up forward than back. However, if Kosi doen't come up, Allen would have to be in the mix too.

[Mr Magic]

, he is another tim elliot, except tim elliot tried.

Name the game that Tim Elliot tried!!!!!!!

[Saint Bev]

Let hope they don't bring in Fiora, Rix and Raph, no point recycling these guys, they have had plenty of opportunity, bring in others and give them a go.

He tried harder than most players but as usual if you are no good you dont try. Looking at tonights game then no one tried.

[baf]

bring mcevoy in at ff,if kossie fit send him back to where he started.CHB This then frees up fisher to go on the ball

If McEvoy plays it will be as a ruckman. Why do we think because you are tall you will be able to play FF. Allen may come in if Kosi is not fit.

[mad saint guy]

Because he is dominating when played forward at Casey. Reads the play very well, makes smart decisions, is an excellent overhead mark and has good skills. He might not have the pace to be a permanent FF, but right now he's better than any other option we've got.

Dominating in the forward line. What are you talking about. He has kicked probably 8 goals for the year. Please tell me the games he has dominated as a forward this year. He is a ruckman and should play this week as a ruckman. I would have thought Allen is a far better prospect as a forward from the games I have seen this year.

[bergsone]

I would bring in Armo Birss Allen and mcenvoy if Gardiner doesnt come up,though i have doubts he is ready imo

[steph]

SURELY its some for jason blake to go

He just doesn't get the ball, tagging or not, i dont care. he brings nothing to the side.

[Cairnsman]

I would drop Milne. Have to change this pattern of him not playing well interstate. Send a message to his brain that every s*** game he plays interstate automatically means a run in the seconds the following week.

With the large percentage of games played in a 22 game season comp you can't have a team that is one player short. It puts you on the back foot before the first bounce.

[Solar]

so the injuries are

M Gardiner and dempster

big mac comes in to ruck. Look we will get beaten in the ruck but the next 10 weeks is about redeveloping this team into something that will push for higher honours in a year or two. He will play second ruck, against the likes of warnock so I can't see how this will be a problem. He has 3 weeks minimum as a back up ruck with option as a third tall option until gards comes back from his hammy. If he plays well and holds his spot then I would be happy to retire king back to the seconds for the rest of the year.

would like to see howard come in for dempster and be given a job to follow the small. Not a farmer lead up type but perhaps a bell. Yes he and geary might get beaten every second week but as I said earlier this is about tweaking.

Strangely I only saw the 3rd quarter which might cloud my view but I liked gwilts tackling and body work. mini did some good work around the packs and deserves a longer go as a pure midfielder. Goddard and chips also gave us more of a push in the midfield. Suprised it took ross till after half time to remember what he learnt last week is a little worrying...

I would send roo to CHB, where he can get back his mojo. Here he can use his marking and field kicking to give us an option off half back.

armo and birss need to come back in, for the two out of form small forwards in milne and schneider

So my changes would be

In: McEnvoy, Allen, howard, armo, birss, kosi

out: M.Gardiner, blake, dempster, schneider, milne, c.gardiner

with the team looking something like

FB geary Maxy howard
HB gilbert Roo Chips
C joey Lenny gram
HF dal Allen BJ
FF birss Kosi mini

R: King, ball, armo

I: McEnvoy, gwilt, harvey, jones

If kosi can't come up then perhaps keep milne in and play gwilt at full forward.

Real chance to change things up, I am fully behind the coach if this is the path he takes.

That would make a lot of sense dropping C Gardiner. He was nearly our best last night and you reward him by dropping him.

if thats the worse you can say about my post then I'm having a great day

ok easy, rest kosi's knee and leave charlie there. I personally don't rate gardiner but hell if he had a good game last night then good on him (I did admit to only watching the 3rd quarter last night).

Any thoughts about the rest plugger66? Who do you think needs to go?

[Ralphy]

INS:
mcevoy - if gardy doesnt come up -
allen - takes kosi's spot
armo
Birss

OUTS:
kosi
gardy
Blake
Schneider

people id consider dropping to the 2nds for a bit of a wake up call/ form
Blake milne schneider Dempster

[plugger66]

Well if Gardiner and Dempster are injured then they will be out and it maybe time to give Blake a rest. I wouldnt drop Milne but Schneider may have to go.

Out Gardiner Dempster if injured Blake Schneider

Ins Mc Evoy Allen or Kosi if fit Kosi Armo Birss

what would you do with roo, obviously whats happening is not working. I suggest CHB to get him back into form, take some pressure off him being the sole target and release chips into a running midfield rebounding role?
