He loves to run hard forward.

No, because Soligo will end up playing there instead. Don't take team lineups too seriously.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Do we give max the job on Cameron?

Didn't Hinge do a good job last time.... but that was when someone was injured.

Butts will take Hawkins.

Then they have Cameron, Henry & Dempsey. Think Keane, Worrell & Hinge on these 3, as Max needed for Stengle.

 

[DJ75]

Happy and pleasantly surprised with the changes.

Nicks is getting better. Only took one week to realise that training form isn't game form this year. Normally takes a few weeks

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Ned in is a backward move.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ned in is a backward move.

No, he's a decent sub.

 

[Thylacinus]

Not too bad.

Borlase v Keane Keane probably the better player. Neither in when Murray back. Keane could play Worrell's role?

Scholl, he ain't in our bes team Sog on a wing is better.

Tex for Gollant no brainer. Could go Burgess instead of Gollant though I guess.


Looking at the bench. McHenry has to be sub.

Barring a pre-match withdraw due to sickness etc, I would almost put my house on Ned being sub. Excellent changes by the way. I thunk (Kiwi accent) that we are a big chance to wun this one.

 

[Crow till I die]

Surprisingly common sense changes.

If we can get Smith out for Curtin we would be doing well

Curtin has had an injury interrupted back end of the preseason so likely needs to be eased into it but maybe by round 5 or 6 he might be ready to go as you mention

 

[Thylacinus]

If we are being honest Sholl was better than Jones and has been all preseason.

Sholl beat Jones in practically every stat including contested possessions.

Jones would want to start lifting, I’d be happy see Nank in his place until he gets his mojo back

Stats don't tell everything. Jones has a far harder edge than Sholl. Sholl's downfall is his lack of physicality.

 

[Crows I Am]

Happy with the changes this week. Adding Tex, Soligo and Keane improves us a lot compared to last week.

I'm OK with Ned as sub, he has played the role quite well in the past. Bring him on for Murphy early in the 3rd quarter.

 

[Crow till I die]

Structurally with Tex back, its almost as we were with Burgess filling the Thilthorpe role. On a dry cool night at home, I am expecting him to have a far better impact up there than he had last week and I think he can.

McHenry has to be the sub if not Murphy has to be. The other lads are too valuable to be stuck on the pine

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Stats don't tell everything. Jones has a far harder edge than Sholl. Sholl's downfall is his lack of physicality.

Jones also had an injury interrupted season, so wouldn't be at his best yet... but we know he has far better upside than Sholl so it's a no brainer.

 

[King Elvis]

Not sure if Burgess is worth keeping in.

Did we recruit him as a first 18 player, or depth?

To this day I’m still baffled as to how our recruiters thought he was a high draft pick.

Every bid of footage I saw he was one paced and that pace was slow. Just not cut out for the top level.

I think our recruiting department were smelling their own farts and outsmarted themselves.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

No, he's a decent sub.

No, he's not an AFL standard player.
5 yrs development picked in the first round and he's a decent sub? Time to move on.
Put a kid in and delist Ned at yrs end.

Broken record.

McHenry has shown he has been one of our better subs.

Name me a player who has consistently been better as a sub.

 

[King Elvis]

Love how we brought Sholl back into the side to figure out something we already knew from last season, only to drop him a week later

Should've traded him.

 

[Thylacinus]

No, he's a decent sub.

Agree. The amount of run he can provide late in a game when everyone is tiring it quite phenomenal. He has shown in the past he can have a significant impact as sub.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Not sure if Burgess is worth keeping in.

As depth, but our best KPF/ruck is injured, so next man up

We recruited him as depth.

I wouldn't be writing him off after 1 game in atrocious conditions where no key forward had any real impact.

 

[King Elvis]

What Murphy offers is the team building associated with him playing his 100th (yes, 100th) match

What're the chances we'll carry him to 248 games as well?

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Proven record.
Keep up the happy clapping

 

[CrowBloke]

Sholl out; great.

I said Nicks would not drop Sholl. Never happier to be wrong.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Proven record.

No surprise you didn't answer my question

As usual you offer nothing of value... as one of the worst posters on this board.

 

[King Elvis]

Stats don't tell everything. Jones has a far harder edge than Sholl. Sholl's downfall is his lack of physicality.

We know Jones is a massive confidence player - I think we can afford ~4 games at the start of the season for him to get up and running.

Hopefully last year wasn't just a fluke.

Jones will be fine!
