Unofficial Preview Changes for next week vs @Freo

[Cool Kangas]

Mate did you just come down in the last shower??

Pretty much. Sorry.

 

[Shegga]

Goldie for Big X,
We need Corr in, don’t know who goes out.
I’d also like to see TT come in for Stephenson or Curtis. Undeniably more dangerous.

Goldy for X, Dawson for Bonar. Bonar was very ordinary. Let's far too many balls over the back. Does not want the ball in his hand. Didn't stand underneath high ball when needed. My left field is Spicer for Stevenson. His speed is elite and what our Fwd line is lacking. Would rather give block of games to him over Stevo.

 

[andana]

Team going back to docklands tomorrow? Couldn't hurt.

 

[ferball]

I like Chom in the ruck - Goldy with mongrel.

Maybe leave him there for X.

 

[HBFlanker]

Theres no way Stephenson is being dropped lol.

For me:

Out: Xerri, Bonar, Taylor
In: Goldstein, Corr, Thomas

Swap Phillips and Bergman as sub, so essentially Phillips and Bergman in/out

4 changes might be too many, and im not sure what Tarryns situation is, but hes so far above the reserve grade it isnt even funny. Maybe one more week.

Oh heavens no.

 

[drewroo]

Out: xerri, turner (Stevo last chance)
In: goldy, corr

Anyone suggesting Turner should be dropped couldn’t have been at the game. He work in organising structure and executing pressure was immense. Not visible on tele. Clarko will have loved his game today.

He is an attractive blend of lack of talent, guts and determination, and lack of kicking ability. Don't agree Clarko will have loved his game today. Drop and delist, and keep him delisted this time.

 

[Mixed Results]

If Sheezel was a third year player and not a young kid in his second game, then throwing him forward for a week against a side with a gigantic forward line would seem like an obvious move to allow us to play a bit taller.

 

[shinboner magic]

Out
X , Taylor ,sleevo , bonar
In
Goldy , Dawson , corr , ford

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Yes, I did. Scott wasn't terrible (really, no one was for us today) but we need to make a change to get Corr into the backline. Scott is the most expendable/replaceable IMO.

Bailey Scott was named and started off the HBF.
Take out Scott. Add in Corr. Move Ziebell from CHB to HBF.

Gaff had the most MIA 20 possession game in the history of the AFL. He was a non-issue due to Scott's systematic shutdown of him.

 

[Psicosis]

Bonar ain’t being dropped

 

[Hardcore North]

Goldy in, corr in.
xerri, bonar out

 

[The Nostradamus]

Out: Xerri (inj), Scott (omit)
In: Goldstein, Corr

Don't need drastic changes, I reckon.

This for me also
Scott the only omission

On todays performance he'd be lucky to retain his spot. Had little impact.

 

[Firebat]

Bonar ain’t being dropped

Why not…?

He was poor for large parts of the game.

It was pretty clear at the game that he often mistimes his leap at the footy, is bodied out of contests too easily, gets lost when the ball hits the deck and doesn’t have very good positioning & game sense when opposing mids are around the 70-80m region - all of these factors completely negate his athletic abilities.

Also, his disposal and decision making is haphazard and I don’t actually think our team trust him with ball in hand.

I think Corr and Dawson show far more immediate benefits to the team as defenders and we should be playing them accordingly.

If we want to persist with Bonar in this role, that’s fine, but there’s a reason we have a reserve team to help develop our players.

We need a big bodied ruckman to go against Darcy. Goldy has to come in. Chom/Hugh would ruck against Jackson

I think we're doing a disservice to Bonar. He's not a defender. Someone posted a video of his highlights this week, he's much better as a big bodied mid or half forward, like he was at GWS.

Totally agree, but that wasn’t the role he is being asked to play as a bullocking mid.

He’s just not a key defender by any measure and therefore shouldn’t be considered in the team in that position.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Bailey Scott was named and started off the HBF.
Take out Scott. Add in Corr. Move Ziebell from CHB to HBF.

Why even comment if you clearly didn’t watch the game properly?

You think because a team sheet named Scott at HBF it means he actually played there?

He played the wing alongside Shiels, just like he has done all preseason, and destroyed Gaff. Incredible how anyone could watch today and not see this.

Yeah Scott played his role today, bizarre calls to ask for him to be dropped. His gut running gave us so many outs in the third and fourth terms.

Categoric lock for next week imho and chuck him on Jordan Clark.

 

[Horizons_00]

I didn’t even know gaff played lol

Bailey must have wore him like a glove

 

[WesternRoo]

Bonar will stay in I think.

Edit: to clarify I think Clarko saw a lot of WCE scoring opportunities occur with balls spilling out the back of packs, which happened because we were too short in defense. I think both Bonar and Corr play next week.

Agree.

Bonar perfect matchup for Fyfe.

 

[Chadwiko]

Why even comment if you clearly didn’t watch the game properly?

I watched the game from start to finish. Maybe it was different at the ground but from the broadcast I didn't notice Scott a huge amount.

As I said, I'm not saying he (or anyone) was terrible. But next week I want both Corr and Bonar in the backline so someone needs to be omitted and I picked Scott.

 

[HBFlanker]

Hes better than the alternative. Ford isnt at the level.

Dropping Stephenson is making a change just for the sake of it.

I will admit, he may be the sub, but he will be there on game day.

Phillips cant be the sub next week. His work in tight was very very good

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I wouldn’t mind having Dawson as the sub (assuming Corr comes in).

Freo tend to go pretty tall in their forward line so having that insurance would be a smart idea.

Dawson can play as both a third tall or on the key forwards. Also has the ability to intercept and provide some run.

Hall, also wouldn’t be a bad option. Him coming on fresh on a wing or across half back when a bit of sting has been taken out of the game would be really interesting.
