Preview Changes for Round 22 v Collingwood @ Patersons Stadium

[groga]

He's not.
I was devistated when we lost him.
The kid can really play and is exact what you need (and what we need now).
I'm just passing on some information that was told to me today from one of your coaching staff.

Shame thought he could really add something.

Surely an emergency?

I doubt it.
I was told he will not play this year.
He would also need to be upgraded from rookie status.

Not really an issue with Nicko and lecras on the long term injury list.

 

[sTeeL]

And we didnt use our midseason elevation either.

 

[Belltower]

Why do the coaching staff talk these guys up, like Mcinnes if they are not going to get a game. The MC is far too conservative for my liking.

Could be that whilst they look okay on paper, they're aren't ready for AFL yet.
Mind you they've persisted with McGinnity at times where others in a like manner would be dropped.

Hope this weeks team is not same old same as. There really is the need for a refresh, a bit of speed, a bit of enthusiasm and a bit of grunt. I was hoping Koby Stevens would provide this at this time of the year. I know he is injured but it looks like they wouldnt play him anyhow because he has possibly told the club he wants to leave.

Dick could be a great X Factor this Saturday. Dare I say it, the team has nothing to lose by this inclusion.A few guys are looking tired and flat.

That is a fair call but Woosha has generally always been a conservative coach. There is also the possibility that Brad Dick just isn't fit enough to run out an AFL game due to missing most of the pre-season (if not all of it).

They might think it is too risky if a player goes down in the first minute of a match and Brad Dick can't run out the entire game.

Next year we will have that many small forwards pushing for positions it will make for some interesting selection discussions.

Confidence can be a huge boost to performance, have u scene a H Bolt lately?

Didn't woosha say he was available for selection?

That would make me think he has been elevated.

"We are pleased with how he is tracking and he is on our list and available for selection," Worsfold said (about Dick)

It sounds from that as if he has already been elevated doesn't it?

 

[Suma Magic]

I don't think they have ruled him out for the year.

Hams and Hill get injured this week, Dick kicks 8 goals in the WAFL... as if they wouldn't bring him in.

Especially if we are against the Hawks for a top 4 spot. Hams lost his mojo

Nobody likes a smart arse.

I was going from memory of something I glanced at.

 

[Ian Dargie]

In: A Kennedy type, a Rosa type
Out: A Brennan type, a McGinnity type

That's an Ian Dargie type comment for sure.

Turn it up.

 

[Bob Fossil]

I am slightly aroused about JK returning.

 

[Coaster2012]

I am slightly aroused about JK returning.

I've already jerked a few out to the thought, but when I see that Dick is in, I shall go round 2

 

[kerrazy]

Now we need goldsack ball and side bottom

Why would you bring in a Rosa type over an Ablett/Pendlebury/Judd/Swift/Swan type?

Wasn't trying o be a smart arse, just backing up what you said.

 

[Ian Dargie]

Why would you bring in a Rosa type over an Ablett/Pendlebury/Judd/Swift/Swan type?

One of the latter would be handy. Maybe we can get one in the trade period.

[Hairy Lager]

Swift...Whats the go there man, some dudes been smoking some good weed or what?

Ooooh my bad. I read it wrong. Sorry.
