[Jeremias]

Afl player ratings rated him number 1 in the hawthorn win. But the other game yes. He wasn’t rated as high as I suggested.

Coaches didn't rate him in the top 5-6, and they are the ones making the selection calls, not AFL player ratings or Champion Data.

CH7 news

IN: TDK

OUT: Young

 

[Aphrodite]

JHF & Dixon out

 

[HarryFlashman]

Thinking Marchbank gets the sub roll to replace Gov if needed

[Jeremias]

Good changes.

Hewett for Kennedy was obvious, hopefully George recaptures his form from last year.

TDK was always coming in if fit. I would have preferred SOS to make way to really stretch Port defensively, but no issue.

Huge list of outs for Port, this game is very winnable. Massive game too...which worries me.

You're missing the backs!

 

[HarryFlashman]

Interesting the Young is out & straight to the 2s

 

[F_therest]

Gov in, nice!

TDK for Young and Hewett for Kennedy shouldn't change too much for us.

Their outs are bigger.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Obvious changes.

I think Marchbank will probably come in for Gov late and Hollands will be sub.

If Gov passes his final test, Hollands will still be sub.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Marchbank emergency incase McGovern get through

Not sure if hope is a justifiable selection criteria. His body of work this year has been decidedly below average. Negative metres gained in multiple matches including his last.

Actually their outs are huge.

They have a noticeably worse team this week on paper, a number of young inexperienced players and older players passed their best coming in.

You'd think cohesion might take a slight hit too when making 7 changes.

This is as good a chance as we will get to catch a break and make a run for finals.

 

[thylacine60]

metres gained...........kill me.............

 

[David Sylvian]

Reports are JHF also another out.

You guys will definitely get up

Thanks, but you didn’t need the first sentence.

 

[Monty1978]

Good time to play port with those outs .. we can’t beat this mob sat we don’t deserve to play finals

 

[JimmyBC]

Looks like we are gift wrapping you guys a win with all those changes.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Life can be busy, I get that


I must have missed those likes

You also must have missed the mod notice on the use of repetitive emojis.


We can either agree or disagree to content and I don't see my opinions on Dow as negative, just realistic

Dow has strengths along with weaknesses, which I have shared numerous times


Perhaps stick to the subject matter, as this is not debating content


Dow has accumulated high numbers at, VFL level not AFL level, but his defensive flaws are still present. So not sure why you are in disagreement or think it's funny, given its factual


I have touched on both. Dow has improved in many areas, but I still feel he is well behind in defensive acts.

Even the VFL commentator in his last VFL game mentioned his defensive flaws

So it is clearly valid


I guess it depends if the focus is just possessions, or all aspects of a players game

Binns is the highest rated player in the VFL, but the discussions always seem to focus on Dow being hard done by

Anyway, appreciate you taking the time to respond

The mod notice was about using the laughing emoji to troll.

 

[bradfisher14]

We're winning this.

 

[Arr0w]

Obvious changes

Any of Hollands, Mots, Dow as sub, in order think it will be Dow, Mots, Hollands

Marchbank highly likely to replace Gov

Perhaps you should check the posts then

 

[jj1978]

Hollands is a curious one still needs more touch in the VFL. Dow better as sub… if he’s leaving no need to give him full games in the VFL anyway and his 1-2 quarter impacts have been good.
