If Thursty gets dropped for failing to have an offensive game as a defender Kel needs to work on his too.

Moore was pretty impressive in the first half on the weekend. He was named in the best on the AFL site , and I watched the game again on the weekend .... yes glutton for punishement and he did a pretty good job on Neagle for most the second half.

He rebounded a number of times in the first half though, had a shot on goal that didn't make the distance and took 6 or 7 bounces down the wing that resulted in a goal.

Moore was good because the bombers had a small forward line. But he shouldn't play on the Tredrea's and Brown's
 
He's been around for about 7 years now. Can't play him anymore. He's gone. We have to hope Hughes stands up at Coburg this week. There's still alot more hope for Hughes than there is for Schulz

Hughes has the same hope that Schulz has NONE
 
Out: Connors, Simmonds, Raines

In: Cousins, Thursfield, Thomson

But Doesn't Really Matter How Much We Chop And Change The Side Were Still Not Up To Scratch
 
Out - Connors, Simmonds, Raines
In - Riewoldt, Thomson, Graham

Surely that's logical. But what if Rance, or Cousins, or Thursty are fit? Too many absolute GUNS to fit into this mega side.
 
OUT:
Raines
Simmonds
Conners
Pattison
Two More

IN:
Cousins
Graham (hopefully, but doubtful)
Thomson
Vickery
Riewoldt
Thurstfield

If Rance is fit he also comes straight back in

Yeh thats abit of a problem right now. Who stands the tanks. Rance looks to have the physic for it and McGuane is getting bigger in body size, not sure of height however. Shulz got a few of these style last year, infact Im guessing it was his "ok" performance as a key defender that got him a contract renewal.

Im also guessing thats the role Polak was supposed to fill, the tanks.
 
Not necessarily, we have been playing way to small recently...

Rance swap for Raines. (Rance can play tall/small and in the midfield)
Cousins swap for White.
Graham swap for Simmonds.
Riewoldt swap for Connors who has been playing close to goal lately.

Maybe a tall player out for Thurstfield, but we could get away with dropping another short player.

I doubt all these changes will happen though because you would think adleast 1 of Cousins, Graham, Rance wont be 100% and will miss another week.

we cant bring in 4 talls and only take out 1 tall, i would perfere to see a unbalanced team of more smalls than more talls.

According to this Cuz is coming in, and Rance a real chance. He might play for Coburg though. Graham will probably have another week off, and Edwards is going to play. WTF?!

Makes for some interesting changes, with potentially Jordy, Jack, Edwards, Thursty, Cuz, Rance and Thomson to come in.
thomson should get a game before edwards. jack, thursty and cuz should also come back. and also gus if he is right
 
I reckon 5 of those 7 players listed above are in our best 22, then you add richo to that... so basically we are playing without 1/3 of our best lineup.
 
Interesting little comment from Terry Wallace on eye of the tiger

"On the big Subiaco Oval, you need to ensure that you go in with a running team. So, in selection, we will be picking the side accordingly. Therefore, if somebody misses out, who you perhaps thought had a reasonable game last week, you’ll understand why."

hmmmmmm.

Obviously McMahon is an in then(Shocking decision, play a kid instead of someone with next to no upside), possibly Shane Edwards as I reckon TW thinks that Edwards is a bit of a runner and he probably is, certainly not a strength player yet(Could be an ok pick, might not deserve it, but give him a chance), Raines will get another game, doesn't deserve it, but he is a runner.

Pissed off that Gus isn't gonna get a game, if Simmonds is in, I doubt I'll watch, I just can't seeing that lumbering peice of shit play anymore, bring in a kid if you are considering anybody.

Those comments and earlier in the week comments lead me to believe that Edwards will get a game. Dunno why though, he's slow and can't even get close to bog in the 2' at the moment. The tank is well and truly being loaded up. Terry's fascination with weak short people who have poor skills continues. If Thomson or JR don't get a game I won't watch, both BOG 2 weeks in a row for Coburg. Same goes if Bowden, Simmonds or Raines get a game.
 
Simmonds deserves to be dropped yes but I really can't see Vickery or Putt getting a gig, and if Gus isn't ready do we really expect to see Patto ruck the whole game on his own against Sandilands???

Anyone is better than Simmonds. Kruezer played in his first year and was skinny as a rake and it didn't wreck his development, he's going great guns now, don't see why Vickery can't do the same with limited TOG. Putt has been on the list a couple of years and should be given a go sometime this year. If they're going to gift games to 'runners' in Edwards then they could easily give one of them a game. Time to see who can play and who can't and Simmonds won't be here next year, waste of time playing him.
 
Play Vickery. Two great games in the VFL seniors in a row should be enough to get a crack at the big league in the position we are in. He's earned it.

Play Vicks, play Jack, play Edwards, play Thomson, play Thursty.

I really couldn't care less about most of the outs but Simmo must go and Connors must go.


EDIT: And Cuz of course. So that's 6 changes. :D

I think you are right... with Gus again perhaps not being fit, Simmonds will get a game by default for 2 weeks in a row! (Bugger!)

Pretty funny actually that an experienced 30 year old in the 5th year of his contract on about $300k per year is only getting a game because of an injury to our young ruckman with just 9 games & on probably $80k per year! :eek:
