Could you not comment about it in the other threads that have suggested dropping players
Surely having a discussion about posters suggestions on dropping players should be in that thread, instead of starting a bullsh1t thread
at least I don't start stupid threads
We need to make a few changes this week

we need to make changes this week
A Very good question most of the year we kept the same side last game we dropped Gwilt and Raph Geary has had a weeks break to refresh i will give an extra chance i can see him matching up on Selwood against Geelong.Who do we bring into the side Gwilt, Steven,goose or our no. 83 draft pick Begley so he can play on Cousins.

Good thread.
I agree wuth P66. At least 4 to 5 changes are definately required. Their form last weekend was shocking - the whole team went missing.
12-0 is really pathetic and to not keep the % over 200 is shameful.
I'd drop Blake, Zac, Luke Ball, Schneids, Milne and mabye Kosi and bring in Armo (broken collar bone never stopped anyone from going in and under) Dempster (one game back from an ACL should be more than enough), Heyne, Lynch, and Allen (even though he is still injured).
We should beat the Tigers by at least twenty goals with that team and if we dont i will demand that Lyon is sacked.

Crazy talk - never mess with a winning formula. Keep the side unchanged unless injuries force otherwise, and let the teams who are struggling, experiment with their lineups. No player in a team with 12 consecutive wins, needs a rest. Any players who want a senior berth are going to have to stay injury-free and put in a lot of BOGs at Sandy, just having steady form at Sandy won't get you a gig in the seniors.

Lyon should have a couple of weeks at Sandy to get his coaching form back, he's been pretty average of late.

Re: We need to make a few changes this week
I take it you're strongly opposed to Mick Malthouse "dropping" three guys this week (on top of an injury omission), to "keep the pressure on the playing group", despite their having won 4 in a row? Or Geelong dropping 2 blokes last week, despite having won 11 straight?plugger66 wrote: I love critisim but i love changes to a winning side even more. I dont need a spell but people who want to drop everyone in sight do.
Are you going to write something sarcastic about Mick and Bomber? Or make comments about how they don't know what they're doing (with 1000 or so AFL games experience between them.)? Or do you just take aim at easy targets, when they suggest something pretty much identical?
Not everyone has the same approach as you and it doesn't make you any better than them, unless of course you're better than Mick Malthouse and Bomber Thompson, which you're clearly not.
YOU GET WHAT YOU SETTLE FOR.

I am not going to criticise either coach but you obviously are criticising our coach because he isnt making a change.AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:I take it you're strongly opposed to Mick Malthouse "dropping" three guys this week (on top of an injury omission), to "keep the pressure on the playing group", despite their having won 4 in a row?

Sidebottom has been average at best in his first year
Wood has been very ordinary and that is a complement
Clarke see above (just 7 disposals and 1 mark last week)..
Both Djerrkura and Wojcinski have been ordinary this season
Also the fact that Harry Taylor was fit to play at CHB suggest at least one player would be dropped
Yes they all deserved to be dropped...
Just who in you opinion should be dropped for an ordinary performance this season (and not just one bad game)???
