OMG DAL AND STVIE R OUT
Seriously people sort yourselves out and get back to us....
first you all bleated for young players to come in, to drop some underperforming senior players.... Let's bag lyon for playing the likes of dampster etc........
Then he makes some big changes, with the underperforming dal (I'm sorry but 59% efficiency for an outside player is not good enough) and milne being dropped. Then we have the sad sacks like plugger66 suggesting that this is similar to the hawks match last year.....
You can't have your cake and eat it kiddies....
I personally like the changes, would not be suprised if either dempster or harvey don't come up that howard might be a late change.
We are getting in form youngsters of armo, allen, mcenvoy and eddy. This is exciting, I can't wait!!!

About FN time. These changes should have been made 6 weeks ago. Apart from 1 game each these two have drifted in and out of form by their own will. Had these 2 been given a wake up call 6 weeks ago we may have still been a chance at the top 4 now it is merely cosmetic to change the team now we look like we are Tanking.

100% agree with this. This injection 6 weeks ago could have saved our season before it turned into the train wreck it has. I seriously don't care if we win or lose tomorrow night, the sheer fact is we're not playing the same predictable players week in week out, win one, lose one crap that's been getting us absolutely nowhere.redwhite&blackblood wrote:About FN time.

I for one was debating whether or not I could be bothered going tomorrow night, but now I can't wait to go. It's called youth and enthusiasm. Something that's been sadly missing in this team for frigging ages!

You have no idea. I said that because 3 players were making there debut but if you cant read between the lines you have lived up to my expectations of you.Solar wrote:Seriously people sort yourselves out and get back to us....

I still think Dal will play so maybe not such a big call. The Milne chopping was to be expected really, lets hope he can find some form.
I guess there will be big discussions here Saturday morning. I hope it's after a nice win. I hope the players realise that what they've been delivering so far this season is not acceptable and this is the beginning of a turn around. Here's hoping.

Personally I dont like dropping Dal Santo. However I applaude the direction.
Also I hope Dal responds like the potential champ he is and blitzes in the seconds and is back next week. I hope Schneider also gets a bloody kick up the arse, and Milne.
Look how Charlie Gardiner responded to being dropped? Has played pretty good footy and showed spirit.
Good luck to McEvoy, Eddy et al. bout time we got some new blood in the team.
Mabye it is too late but that is said with 20/20 hindsight.
Great direction. Lets be frank. 2008 is stuffed, lets look toward 2009. Lets gets some high dps who are quick mids. We need to get the best before the AFL corrupts the draft for the GC ad WS.
Final throw and it must be made now. The flag chances are gone. Time to look at to 2009 and beyond.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

Ross has done Dal a huge favour weather he knows this now or not.
Dal can go back to the vfl gat a few kicks and not have to deal with a tag he can just go back to basics and get some confidence.
Ablett has been successfully tagged once this year and only once and guess who it was against yes u gueesed right it was against freo, crowley stitched him up nicely.
So go out Dal get a few kicks and come back to face the roos in 2 weeks even hungrier than before.

You really are an idiot.plugger66 wrote:So we are tanking in your opinion.
Read my posts. YES I beleive we are tanking. Not in the simpleton definition of deliberately throwing games to get high dps, but to blood young kids, work out who is going to be there next year ad beyond etc.
Doing that means you lose game you may not have so the benefit of that is higher dps.
understand?? sheesh

That is how I feel. We still want to win the game surely. Cannot beleive some people have said they care if we win or lose as long as we play kids. Well to me that is a cop out. We should be trying to win at least until the season is shot.skeptic wrote:i wanted Ross to play the kids... just not all of them together at the same time for the first time in rd 13
would have preferred a bit more of a play them on their merits as form warrants regularly throughout the season
the other extreme is no good either

Good move I think, no point dropping fringe players like gwilt & blake etc. because these guys have been playing to the best of their ability (which is not good enough imho) But to drop a great player who is well off their best is just what we need.
I would have preferred to drop Gram about 6 weeks ago and milne the same. We all know that they are better players than 90% of our list and I am sure they will come back better for it, and if they dont then they are not the team players that we want.
