Preview Changes Round 5 vs GWS

[West Coast 06]

Masten is 2nd at our club for contested ball?

Maybe because he can't make space on his opponent?

Watching him live it's like he is a first year player who doesn't know where to run to, and doesn't want the ball. So when he gets it he dishes it off without thinking about it and gives it to the poor sod closest to him who may not be aware he is getting it, has a player on his arse or is not ready and has a player on his arse!

Oh and he squibs contact in every game. It is truly embarrassing to watch.

We should open up a burn Masto thread. (player not poster)
Looks like we have Priddis II in the making.

FWIW, I agree with most sentiments put forward here.

Re Masto, Wiki says:
Masten projects as an inside midfielder in the mould of fellow West Australians Paul Hasleby & Simon Black. Features of his game include clean hands, good vision, courageous attack on the ball and a very large aerobic capacity

I think the players are told to guard space , completely different methodology these days so masten probably told to stay that many metres away from contested ball . So 1 player at the contest and others around the periphary

 

[94_Eagles]

bit staggered by the level of masten hate here lately.

he's not the only one who's been in iffy form to start the year. rosa has been worse IMO.

At least Rosa did an awesome run with job on Judd.

Masten does an awesome run with job on the boundary line looking for seagull possessions.

If Masten is getting contested ball he isnt working defensively near the contest.. Selwood had more tackles in one game than Masten has had for the season. And for all the knocks on Gaff, he is in our top 5 for tackles so far..

If Masten was dropped Id like to see Colledge in his place. We lose in disposal but pick up marking around the ground and gain a bigger body.

If Shuey doesnt get up, Hutch/Dugg, probably Hutch as sub due to limited minutes so far in games.

But Masten wont be dropped.........

Channel 7's Ryan Daniels just tweeted that Lycett's been dropped and Sinclair in

But what does Tim Gossage say??

Oooh boy.

No at 18 he could probably only play 2.5 games without a break. At the 19 that he actually is I'd say 45-50 in a row no worries. Or as I suggested in my posts further on you could rest him when/if he actually needs a rest instead of just deciding he needs one because you think he needs one even though he's showing absolutely no signs of being tired.

Why would you rest someone if they didn't need a rest?

All I'm saying is that it is likely that a young player in his first season will need one at some stage. That's simply due to being young, not as physically developed to run out a season.

I really don't understand what the debate is about.

Young players in their first season generally aren't as advanced physically to play 22 games. Sure some do but is that the norm? The average?

Chances are when Ellis is fit to come back in Nelson will get a rest.

 

[WCErevival]

McGinnniittyyyy Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

[jesterwester]

Cue meltdown in 3.... 2.... 1....

Must admit I'm surprised to see mcginnity's inclusion. Unless we feel we need a negating player that has some speed.

Edit: WCErevival beat me to it.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Sinkers in, Lycett booted, Nelson sore, Rosa injured...it's all happening and it's all bad

EDIT: aaaaaaaaand Paddy Mac is back boys

 

[kane249]

So Lycett dropped
Rosa Injured
Nelson Rested

 

[Shmiddy15]

McGinnniittyyyy Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

*sigh*

 

[MIKE85]

When did Rosa get injured???

 

[MIKE85]

Hutch listed as an emergency, surely if he's ready, he's a better option than McGinnity

 

[mad_eagle]

So Duggan will be the sub again by the looks of it...great!!!

Hi McGinnity.

Surely not 4 in a row? McGinnity has to be sub
