Preview Changes: QF v GWS

[1achie]

Keath will be a liability in finals. Seemed intent on setting a new record for being outmarked today.

Think he's a better option than Lever given the size of our opponents.

 

[tinman]

Atkins is really starting to worry me the most, his good is very good, his bad is 100 degrees of shitness.

What might save him is that we will get two home finals. His worst games are away from home. Plays like the Eagles, champs at home chumps away....

 

[Jeffcrowe]

But you asked who else and the answer is McGovern.

When Gov didn't play we had Otten who is a snail, unless we are going to play another tall, having another small/mid will not see us suffer given Charlie's lack of output.

Yes it will . Whose playing that role ?

Maybe could have been Galluci but even that would have been massive ask with no lead up

 

[Elite Crow]

Yes it will . Whose playing that role ?

Will be same effect as Otten unless it ma Galluci but he's our for season

You don't think we could play a mid up forward who could have more than 10 possessions and 1 forward line tackle?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

It's not tackles it's closing down space to slow ball movement

It's central to Pykes game plan

 

[Jeffcrowe]

We could play Thommo for more possessions

 

[Elite Crow]

It's not tackles it's closing down space to slow ball movement

It's central to Pykes game plan

So weve created the non-statistical closing down space forward?

I'd rather have Mackay up there and that's saying something.

 

[Coopers]

We need Atkins and Cameron to play well to be successful in September.

If they play poorly we won't. If they get dropped we won't.

Pretty much. These guys are the poster boys for organic growth. If we're not finding A graders (or close to) from our late/rookie picks we wouldn't be in this position.

Same 3 out for the same 3 in.

Well their half backs will have a field day and they will run us off our feet

In the end Betts has played well with 12 possessions 2 goals and 4 tackles

But we should try a new structure week 1 in finals because Cameron had 10 possessions 1 goal and 4 tackles

Doesn't make any sense , need to stick to our system and game plan

If you don't think closing down space on their half backs Williams Wilson and Shaw is important ?!!! Surely you get that

Galluci maybe but even that would have been a massive call

Cameron will play , nothing surer

 

[Jeffcrowe]

This is actually true

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If they play poorly we won't. If they get dropped we won't.

Using this theory, we are in strife!

Charlie is playing without confidence at the moment, that's clear. They also need to tell Charlie to stop kicking it to Eddie every time he gets a possession. It is incredibly predictable for the opposition and that was clear as crystal today. It's not the under 16's, you just can't get away with that stupid football at this level.

Yes he needs to improve and they will back him in

Need to also see what importance he has to game plan ie get territory and pressure the kicks out of D50 while we set up wall

That and half back turnovers are our key planks

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Greenwood & Dougy both guard space well.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Using this theory, we are in strife!

Well we could play same old 'reliable' guys and get nowhere

If we are to win it we need to back talented young guys coming through , that will be the difference between success and failure

DABM has nailed it

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Greenwood & Dougy both guard space well.

No no no

Greenwood pressures well in inner ring , he doesn't close down 30m of space in a flash

Massive difference , Douglas the same - he may defend well but he doesn't close in
on lightning quick half backs

 

[Jeffcrowe]

So weve created the non-statistical closing down space forward?

I'd rather have Mackay up there and that's saying something.

Ps every good side in last few years has had non statistical pressure forwards

Puopolo and Rioli
Mcglynn Papley
Richmond have 4-5 of them this year

I don't think Betts played well, that's an average game for Eddie.

I would play Mackay instead of Cameron, I trust him in front of goal more than Cameron. He's quick enough and goes in hard these days.

Agreed we've left it late to drop Cameron but that doesn't mean he deserves to keep his spot.

 

[DD#23]

I don't care how many games Mackay has been "not bad enough to drop" this year, as far as I'm concerned Seedsman is not only less of a liability but a far more dangerous player and needs to take his spot.

I've been no fan of Charlie's recently but I wouldn't replace him with Milera.

Atkins hasn't been setting the world on fire lately either, but like Seedsman they're dice we'll just have to roll IMO.

IMO Hartigan took Keath's spot today too.

In: Walker, Talia, Greenwood
Out: Keath, Mackay, Milera

 

[robboaustralia]

Not a huge Mackay fan but he aint getting dropped. Seeds unfortunately is injury cover and I love Seeds in the team!

In: Talia, Tex, Greenwood
Out: Milera, Seedsman, Keath

[mattymac]

Milera got into some excellent positions up forward and wasn't honoured a few times. Smart footballer and far more damaging than Cameron with his ball use.

I would go:

In: Walker, Talia, Greenwood
Out: Cameron, Hartigan, Atkins

Cameron and Atkins have offered nothing recently

 

[Elite Crow]

Ps every good side in last few years has had non statistical pressure forwards

Puopolo and Rioli
Mcglynn Papley
Richmond have 4-5 of them this year

Rioli??? Charlie isn't fit to tie his shoelaces.
Puopolo is a big game player.
Same with McGlynn.
Papley is averaging more possessions and he's kicked more goals despite playing 3 less games.

Yep , after reviewing Hartos game a bit more

I think that is it in a nutshell

Puopolo is no more a role player than Cameron

None of those guys get big stats
