Preview Changes Round 14 Vs Port Adelaide

[ossie_21]

Badger has earned a chance, but I'd rather he do it at a home/Victorian game other than travelling to a furnace like Adelaide Oval

 

[Dogsman16]

If Austin really is playing CHF then I hope he is a late out for Stringer/Honey

He won't go anywhere near the forward line. He can go to Westhoff, Roughy to Schutz and Morris to Wingard simple really. Grant Crameri and Jones to set up like last week in the forwards.

Rather have stringer in the team then austin meh

Austin is a proven mature body, Stringer is now in development mode in the vfl for midfield and forward operations for the future.

It would be a pretty biased convo

my first thought when I saw the comments was "did he just disagree with himself? "

Think the best one was when we all had the macca photos, it confused some many people.

We would have to be close to last on the list for debutants this year

Surprised old mate Macca's Kool-Aid didn't rate a mention this week despite the win:

Definitely your best work australian idle

There wasn't a single person that wasn't confused by that (except yourself of course)

Just the 1 - tied for second last with Carlton and Sydney. Fremantle haven't had any debuts this year.

Brisbane have had the most debutants with 7, Hawthorn closely following with 6.

I would have played more considering where we are at , but that's me

Oh well, everyone else is having a go....

My impression of Boyd is that by sheer gut busting effort, he does tend to get the ball in time and space a fair bit, and it seems like a couple of times a game, he will be kicking from that space on the wing towards the forward line, and have a real chance to manufacture a scoring shot with a damaging disposal, and either pick out an opposition player who was by himself, or totally fail to favour a team mate with a pass and waste the opportunity. And everyone goes awwww.....

Probably these types of incidents magnify the perception that he is a butcher.

I definately think we are ay better off with him in the team.

 

[Igloo]

To be fair, we're running out of guys to debut . Only 5 guys on our list who have never played a game (6 if we count Darley not playing for us). But Greenwood has never looked close, neither has Redpath until this year.

 

[Dav1d]

I would have played more considering where we are at , but that's me

we only have Honey, Redpath, Fuller, Greenwood yet to debut and Prudden has been injured
played more?

I would have played more then the one that has played

Yeah, in an ideal world we'd have gotten games into a few but there's probably an explanation for each.
Fuller - not quite ready, still learning to be an offensive weapon and be defensively accountable in the same game.
Honeychurch - really bashing down the door now, probably next week
Prudden - injured all season
Redpath - still chipping away in the VFL, would imagine they've got things they want him to work on even though he's kicking goals
Greenwood - probably won't fit in the AFL team, would be a good fit elsewhere.

I think it's good to see players waiting to earn their spot through Footscray. Bontempelli absolutely smashed down the door, went back and forth for a bit and now he's excelling.

yes but who and why and who would come out?

you're been kind of vague

honeychurch not playing by now is a joke unless McCartney has a plan , obviously redpath ain't up to it , fuller has struggled and darley maybe is a work in progress

 

[Hrovat24]

you're been kind of vague

Honeychurch should have played by now , even darley should have got a gig , would have liked to have seen redpath but obviously ain't up to it

I for one wouldn't have played Boyd this week, would have played him in the seconds ass to make certain he 100% also Honey has been bashing down the door for so long that it is now just a bunch of splinters. Silly to select a player coming off injury like that unless they are a genuine super star which Boyd is not.

Why? Honeychurch should have been in by now, but we've been giving most of the young ones a fair go at it. Roberts got a couple of games, Jong got a couple, Bontempelli's come in, even Howard's been given a go (even though he's not young exactly). Redpath should have been give a go if anything, but the fact is that most of our list had debuted and the only real suprise is that Honey hasn't come in. But if he goes in, that means another young guy will go out. It's a balancing act.

but for who? Hrovat, Dahlhaus? Bontempelli? who deserves to come out, think we'll be playing all of the veterans when possible because
we don't want to kill the kids, especially against a super fit Port Adelaide
just doesn't make sense to me, to bring in Honeychurch ahead of Boyd and have him get smashed from pillar to post
if Honeychurch comes in, another kid has to come out
has to be a balance for how many kids we play at once..

an older player could go out for honeychurch with a re shuffle .. Darley has been playing ok and is a good kick which we need coming out of defence so would have nothing to lose playing him
