[The Sloane Ranger]

IMO the Rocca loss will be a positive for your team as I believe that his selection was a huge mistake by your coaching panel

as an opposition supporter I have always believed that the Pies look most dangerous when they have a mobile forward line, I thought today that the Rocca selection made you guys a little predictable and easy to defend, I would have actually preferred Rocca to be in next week rather than out

the Pendles loss will be huge as he spanked us last time we met a AAMI

On Woods I would think he would be a certain starter next week as he probably had his best game for you guys the last time that we met

all the best

 

[Subprime]

Someone on 7 said Lockyer was injured - need an update

Replacements ?? From left field Stanley's in form apparently or Macaffer - can they step up, Reid for Rocca, Dick for Medhurst, Clarke for Lockyer

 

[Smoky]

In: Wood, Dick, Wellingham
Out: Rocca, Pendlebury, Johnson

You're off your guts.

Agree with the ins though... either Sidey or McCarthy out.

Jono easily holds his spot

 

[jefffff34]

Out - Pendlebury, Rocca (if injured), Johnson
In - Wellingham, Dawes/Dick (weather forecast pending), Clarke


ps. I really want Ben Reid in there... and I seriously would consider Stanley.

 

[mdc]

Jono easily holds his spot

Based on his inability to stay with his man? Or his direct kicks to the opposition? Or is it his hospital handballs you fancy?

Awful game, has been in awful form, and I have no idea how he's still in the team. I'm rarely this harsh on any player, but he costs us every week.

IN: Wood, Dick, Wellingham, Goldsack (match-up reasons)
OUT: Rocca, Pendles, Johnson, L.Brown (match-up reasons)

I thought Fraser was absolutely atrocious for the 3rd week in a row, he's clearly not 100%, and if Rocca was right I'd play him and drop Fraser for Wood straight up.

if we dont handball to him to kick maybe, he was bad

0 tackles johnson

had a negative influence

 

[Hard Yakka]

Out - Pendlebury, Rocca (if injured), Johnson
In - Wellingham, Dawes/Dick (weather forecast pending), Clarke

I'd like Reid too but it's a big risk now in an 'elimination' final given he's had no senior game time since the beginning of the year... In hindsight, probably poor planning by the club.

 

[freshest]

mccarthy goes for me felllas
plays one average game against the dogs and gets a finals birth
i no there are many mccarthy lovers out there but look his not gonna be a superstar and his definately not gonna be a good player

Johnson not in your outs after all that?

 

[pieman123]

Reid would have done a much better job on riewoldt if he played today

changes would be

Out: Rocca( ur done f off), pendlebury, leigh brown(spud), obree(worst kick in history)

IN: Dawes, Wellingham, Reid, Dick

 

[mdc]

Johnson not in your outs after all that?

Ninja-edit time.

Still don't think Sidebottom should be playing right now, but he's a better option than Johnson. Cox would be handy, but he's not even playing VFL it seems.

 

[NatheM]

IN: Wood, Dick, Wellingham, L.Brown (match-up reasons)
OUT: Rocca, Pendles, Sidebottom, Goldsack (match-up reasons)

Would of loved to see goldsack out there today, he shouldn't of been dropped, why drop one of our best players in a loss to the dogs? stupid decision that one.

INs: Goldsack, Wellingham, Wood
Outs: Pendles, Rocca, Sidebutt

Although I reckon they will put Dick in for sure, even though he is the weakest in the AFL, he just costs us in the air, I dunno, I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to be beaten by Adelaide, then the boys might just work a bit harder during the summer.

 

[Pies_10]

How can some of you want Sidebottom out he was great today in his first final
Out: rocca,pendles,Johnson
in: Wood,Clarke,Wellingham

[Ron]

One of Nath Brown, Reid or Wood has to come in. Even though Leigh did a fair job in the backline, we need more options down there for when Presti is getting beat.

If Wood comes in, Leigh can spend 100% of the time in the backline, and Wood can drop back, something he seems to do ok, but Fraser can't, or wont do.

He just doesn't have the body right now to play finals. When he got it he was very good, but off the ball he gets destroyed atm.

Nath didn't even play VFL through injury, so I doubt he'd come in.

I think Mick has decided to let Reid play out the year in the VFL as well.

Wood should be a monty to get into the side, has been vital at times for us, and performed well at VFL level.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

OUT: Rocca (injured or not, just get him out), McCarthy, Sidebottom, Pendlebury

IN: Wood, Dick, Wellingham, Clarke

I'd have more omissions if we actually had quality players to replace them with.

 

[Ron]

I reckon Goldy has to come in, he wasn't that bad against the Dogs and was unlucky to be out for this game.

The Crows have a very dangerous forward line, Tippett and Hentschel the main talls, with Burton and Porps the leading and strong marking types.

We'll be hard pressed to cover them all. I really think Reid should come in and maybe play on one of them.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Hope you lose

Hope you do too.

Oh wait, your pathetic rabble couldn't hold a 30 point lead in a quarter. Was it fun waiting 8 years just for that?

As for the changes, I'd go with...

OUT: Rocca, Pendles, McCarthy
IN: Wood, Goldy, Dick

 

[wadethompson]

Out: Rocca - don't care if his injured or not he should go out not fit enough cant chase his finished.

Mcarthy- Not up to afl standards at the moment not fit enough and needs to work alot on his definsive side of his game not good enough to have him in the team as just an attacking player id rather have b.dick.

Pendles (inj)

these two i would also love to see go out aswell but i dont think they will

Obree- to slow for the modern game beams has overtaken his inside midfeild spot.

Johnson- not defensive enough and doesnt hit enough targets.



In: Dick in for Mcarthy- Needed a smaller forward option today which we didnt have we should have played didak as a perminant forward. dick is a msut have after performing strongly in the vfl

Wood in for Rocca- why did we ever drop him i would have rather droped fraser and just played wood he was killing it when fraser was out and when fraser came back into the team we started going shit in the ruck. fraser is not fit enough and definatly not a strong enough ruckman to play by himself so after wood having 33 efective hit outs in the vfl and only playing limited game time on the weekend there are no exscuces for him not to come back in.

Wellingham in for pendlebury- pendbury is a class player and so is wellingham so he is the right replacement for him.

 

[Quicky]

No way should Sidebottom make way. He was really good for most of today. The players that really let us down for mine were O'Bree, Johnson and Lockyer >> Pendles injury was also telling.

My outs (admittedly without much thought for match ups) would be:

OUT: Johnson, Pendles (inj), Rocca (inj) IN: Wellingham, Clarke, Wood/Goldy
