Preview Changes for The Prelim

[Pat_Footy]

Probably too risky at this time of the year but I still reckon Schoey for Shep and AhChee for a ruck, is worth a crack. We seriously looked cooked halfway through the third quarter. Obviously a rotation down but the talls just compounded the issue. Lycett and Vardy were crumbing to JK and JD.. Should’ve tried it eariler in the year, probably to big of a change for a prelim.. but I’d have confidence that a pinch hitting combo of AhChee and Schoey could produce the same output, if not more, than what Lycett is giving us in the ruck, with the added versatility.

AhCHee has already been given several games and he sucks. WCE are lucky he only signed a 1 year deal. He is de-list material. We don't need anymore list cloggers.

It's called a depth player, and yes, we do need them.

Anyway, given how Redden and Jetta are playing now, maybe it's worth giving him a bit more time before writing him off?

Out: LeCras

We can't let this spud continue. He is well and truly cooked. How many useless games can this spud put up before he is dropped?

Then AhChee should be happy to be de-listed and recruited back as a rookie. He is so far off it at the moment. The first year players are miles ahead.

Weird comment. Allen is probably the only one I would consider a better player at this point at time and even then they're probably not fighting for the same spot.

Hoping Sheps hammy only sees him miss the prelim. If we make the GF we will badly need him.

Third all-time in goals, All-Australian, club champion, holds the goalscoring record at a ground that's hosted nearly 900 games.

What a spud.

Maybe it was a similar sort of high cramp to what Walters experienced - felt like a hammy, but wasn't?

 

[Hai_Newman]

Honestly that was a dumb question. How would the other 41 players in the squad feel if he did anything other than scoff? Yes, they are three bloody good players, but if a team can't handle three outs in finals they don't deserve to be there.

And before anyone gives me comparisons of "what if Richmond lost Dusty, Rance and Riewoldt", we lost two of our players well before finals started and have had time to adjust. If Richmond lost those players throughout the year I'm sure they would have found others to fill the void. Yes, they might not be as dominant, but they'd still cope and would certainly not use it as an excuse for failure.

Teams have 44 listed players for a reason.

we probably cant go with vardy as the only ruck now. Too late to trial things.

Otherwise id drop lycett for.ahchee as a second ruck

 

[Beutbrute]

We don't want to go in too tall, so sorry Schoey, but Watson is our ideal Shep replacement - made for finals footy. Much better defender than Nelson, and in better form too.

Big call would be interesting though .

 

[wce4premiership]

I can't see Watson coming in, with Duggan kicking the way he is it would just be too much responsibility on Jetta and Hurn to provide drive from the back half.

Lycett is due a good game, that's the positive spin.

 

[Chad in Vegas]

Huge DV fan but i'd like to see Ah chee come in.
We need a hard contested player for finals.

Venables had 7 tackles, 2nd most for the Eagles. He didn't get much of the ball but he's still having impact.

15 kicks at 80% for Duggan. His disposal was actually pretty good and he didn't look panicked with ball in hand like he has in some games this year.

 

[dave123]

Lecras isn’t going to get dropped

He gets a good defender

He’s essentially a decoy forward ......he might bob up for a couple

 

[ChampRevesby]

Schofield is a like for like replacement for Shep at the moment. Can play tall or small, has a bit of aggro, plenty of experience and is in form. Hope Sheppard is right though.

Mostly, but you don't kick direct turnovers under zero pressure 3 games in a row and gain the title of being composed. Some of his dump kicks are putrid.

What I'm saying is that his howlers wouldn't be complimented by Watson who is also prone to a howler, it could hurt the team.

I think DV layed 4 mammoth 4th qtr tackles was well hard!

And is still very cool with his hands and doesnt shit himself the extra week will only benefit the likes of him aswell

No.

 

[KERRPOW]

No way watson would even be considered my MC.

 

[Ghossein]

Schoey for Shep will be the only change

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Schoey for Shep will be the only change

I agree.

 

[Beutbrute]

No.

Got to be bold to win the big prize! C'mon Francis
