Changes for next week against the swans

[plugger66]

In: Harvey, Mini, King/McEvoy (depending on fitness)

Out: L Fisher, Gwilt, Blake

Dempster did a good job on Cooney and Ferg did no worse than the rest of our forward line (and was played in defence for part of the game anyway)

CJ, Armo and Geary must be persisted with.

If King doesnt come up and Rix plays I will scream. He's livng breathing proof of the chasm of difference between AFL and VFL footy.

Oh..if X comes up he's in for Schneider.

King is fit. Was dropped for balance and we were told another little lie about an injury.

INS
mcevoy (for king) give the kid a go.

Allen for Kosi - Cant do much worse
or keep kosi and play him CHB where he should be, forward just isnt working.

Minnie in for Gwilt

King didnt play so would be stiff to be dropped.

Agreed..while we are at it give Mickey a gig at CHB and run the Beagle Boys through the midfield...Uncle Scrooge can be our new CFO too

[cwrcyn]

Kosi is likely to miss.

If we give Blake the chop, who is going to play CHB?

Schneider obviously has the backing of the coach, and he'll play against his old club no matter what!

Leigh Fisher will probably be dropped, and this may be McQualter's chance, especially on a small ground where his short kicking won't be a disadvantage

If Gwilt goes out, then his obvious replacement is X.Clarke, but apparently he's hurt his hamstring AGAIN. Baker is also injured.


So, who is realistically available from Casey? McQualter, Howard, R.Clarke.

Wow, we've just got heaps of options, haven't we?

Based on all this, I can see the following changes.

Out: Koschitzke, L.Fisher

In: KIng, Harvey.

The only other possibility I see is tha Gwilt goes out for either McQualter or R. Clarke.

Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic??????????

[matrix]

x done another hammy???

ahhhhh ffs.
as much as i like him when he is up and going he just cant get that body right huh....
i wouldnt drop grammy this week....he might not lay to many tackles but he actually did something this week and prob deserves to keep his spot.
if mini is killing them in the reserves then give him a go......

cant see gwilt getting any more chances huh

[cwrcyn]

The team I would like to see for the rest of the season would be this:


S.Fisher Hudghton Geary
Gram Koschitzke X.Clarke
R.Clarke Hayes Dal Santo
Gilbert Riewoldt Montagna
Milne Ferguson Goddard

Gardiner Ball Baker

Inter: Armitage Harvey Blake (2nd ruck) Birss


Now, I know a couple of those guys are injured at the moment, but hey, it's my preferred team, assuming all but Maguire are fit.



Players I definitely don't want to see in are:

Schneider
Fiora
Dempster
Rix

I'd like to see these players be given 4 or 5 games:

Allen
Howard

[LTN16]

B: Sam Fisher, Max Hudghton, Sean Dempster
HB: Jason Gram, Jason Blake, Brendon Goddard
C: Nick Dal Santo, Luke Ball, Leigh Montagna
HF: Shane Birss, Nick Riewoldt, Clint Jones
F: Matthew Ferguson, Ben McEvoy, Stephen Milne
Foll: Michael Gardiner, Lenny Hayes, Jarryn Geary
I/C: Adam Schneider, Andrew McQualter, Robert Harvey, David Armitage
EMG: Jarryd Allen, Brad Howard, Steven King

IN: Andrew McQualter, Robert Harvey, Ben McEvoy
OUT: Leigh Fisher, James Gwilt, Justin Koschitzke

[Otiman]

Dempster will play. Matches up well against the swans attack.

Mini should also play after BOG. Armitage on thin ice.

Howard and McEvoy to come in against Freo.

[sainters man]

on SEN yesterday they said Baker broke down and his knee is now a serious issue

[saintjake]

Well Gwilt certainly proved something today.

He can't get it.
And when he does he turns it over.

I suspect that will be his last AFL game - ever.

gwilt got it more then alot of the other players on the list.
fergo, the guy everyone on here seems to love.
and the nice 2 tocuhes for the whole game!
and he only got those touches in the back line
he was moved to the back like coz he was playing like a hack up foward.

[CeilidhSaint]

Agree with plugger 66.
"Machete" is not what is needed and bringing up young guys just for the sake of it is just not worth it.
Let them earn their spot, not just go younger cos we think every other team has and that works.
Drop guys who are not performing but unfortunately team balance also needs to be taken into account.
