Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 5 vs. WCE, OS Fri 16/04 @ 8:10pm

[Jen2310]

The In's and Out's for me the next two rounds.

Out: Mayne, No more just say No! - Adams (Inj.), Madgen (omitted)
In: Cameron, MaCrae, Murphy

Only reason I chose MaCrae over Rantel is his foot skills.

Round 6 - In's I would be looking at are McInnes and Keane

Yeah Madgen isn't getting dropped with getting 25 touches plus goal of the year nomination. Not this week at least.

 

[danielnajdek]

It`s never the duds on our list who get injured

The players who tend to get injured are the ones who go hard for the ball or actually contest in a lot of contests and the better players are better at that then the duds.

 

[unplugged]

Stopped reading at Noble dropped to sub

You completely missed my point, then. Cool.

 

[Rorzza]

Thanks Jen, That's why I specified my In's and Out's.

 

[MoreMoore]

Any VFL report yet?

 

[Moore of the Same]

Out: Adams, Mayne, C. Brown, Greenwood
In: Cameron, Macrae, T. Brown, Rantall

Truth be told I'd also prefer to see Hoskin-Elliott, Thomas, Madgen, and Sier out as well, but I think 4 changes is unlikely enough.

Cameron is a no brainer against Nic Nat. Macrae showed his class in the VFL and should be rewarded. Brown was only dropped because of a typo (I assume), so he can come back in. Rantall is a like for like swap for Adams.

 

[Jen2310]

Thanks Jen, That's why I specified my In's and Out's.

But don't get me wrong. We need to start phasing out the Madgens, Maynes, Greenwoods. Just probably won't happen at once.

 

[domin8tors]

I hope the selection is brave and goes with kids. I can see some similarities between 2010 and now. Whilst our form is putrid.. we still have some quality on the list. So the likes of Greenwood / Mayne / Thomas / cox out and McRae / McGinnis / lunch etc in. Like when Lockyer and Fraser etc couldn't get in the team.

 

[Horaceg]

Turns out everything I’d read was wrong - Tay is out 10 weeks. fu**!

Yup, the last bit

 

[neilk]

Why phase out Madgen? He hasn't had a lot of footy in recent years having concentrated on basketball, and he seems to be improving.

 

[jimmy35]

Moore forward, Gooey at centre clearances, Maynard in the middle. Let’s see if we can get a ****ing clean clearance for a change and move it to a legitimate marking target.

How will the back 6 setup?

 

[jimmy35]

How will the back 6 setup?

Undermanned unfortunately. If we don’t stem the bleeding in the middle and through the middle of the ground and look like kicking a decent score then the back 6 are going to be swamped yet again anyway. I know Darcy has been the pillar back there though.
Not the time I know with WC talls coming but desperate times and all that. Maybe Howey will need to play taller and if WHE could catch the damn ball for a change he can be given a few weeks as the intercept marker in the back.
Im not a track watcher but is there someone that may look like a developing tall third tall ready for some games back there?

 

[LuckyLee]

I’m in favour of moving Moore forward, starting with the ANZAC Day game v Essendon. This week, against WCoast in Perth, he is more needed and valuable in defence against their three mobile tall forwards.

OUT Adams C.Brown Mayne
IN Macrae Cameron Poulter

I'm glad people are now catching up on this and demanding Moore be tried forward at some stage. Preferably, I'd like to see him up there with Will Kelly for a few games when he gets back in the side in due course.

 

[ExcitementMachine]

On our form I've never anticipated a more humiliating event than what's expected at the hand of the toast as optus.

Despite that when im feeling somewhat on that level most of the time we pull something unexpected and win one against the odds.

This time our pessimism is real i think.

Toast to put us to the slaughterhouse.

On the plus side, Shuey normally dominates us and he's not playing.

Unfortunately however Dom Sheed and Kelly will both have 30+ and we'll have no match for either of them.

 

[mike123]

Playing West Coast in Perth is not the time to blood a host of youngsters.

A massacre is awaiting us as it is.

No, wait a week and leave the debuts for Anzac day.

No debut is easy, if they’re good enough they should play

 

[surfer1]

If we get within 36 points it will be a miracle

 

[neilk]

If we get within 36 points it will be a miracle

At quarter time?

 

[jmac70]

If we get within 36 points it will be a miracle

You should back the Eagles to win by ten goals plus.

 

[mike123]

No reason why physically ready 2-3 year kids like T Brown and Rantall can’t get a block of games in there

I’ve seen nothing to suggest that T Brown is physically ready

 

[jmac70]

I’ve seen nothing to suggest that T Brown is physically ready

He should still be playing most weeks. Can’t see the point with playing guys like Mayne and Greenwood now.
I guess they will wait until the season is completely shot before they play more kids.

 

[mike123]

You move Moore out of our defence and our entire backline crumbles like a house of cards.

Moore’s being bypassed and leak goals one one anyways. He doesn’t matchup well on Kennedy or Darling either.

I know jmac70, I am usually a very positive bloke but the Treloar debacle and they last few weeks have really got to me
