Preview Changes V Hawks (Cox, Elliott, Ramsay & Thomas in; Schaz, Brown & Reid - gulp! - emergencies)

[Tough as Steele]

Judgement potentially compromised due to the anger associated with the decision; however, the Reid omission is the worst on-field call I have seen in my time supporting this club.

 

[Lockyer24]

We have to be tanking...

 

[danielnajdek]

Langdon and Ramsay in over Reid and Scharenberg. I know which two I'd prefer to have in the team. Unbelievable.

 

[Apex36]

Hahahajahhshahafutsvbj ssv



Let's retain Langdon after 2 shitful games but drop our most talented swing man 1 week after returning. Reeks of a stealth injury to Reid.

Or we're tanking.

Or both.

Either way the match committee have officially lost the plot now.

 

[Scodog10]

I'm as big a critic of the match committee as anyone and I have serious doubts they're stupid/ arrogant enough to have dropped Reid. Odds on he's either injured, serving an internal suspension or will be a late in.

Nope. Just got to get the cat...there...now...wait a minute...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[wicksy]

I would love some explanations each week regarding team selection.... Even if it's after the games. This is just ridiculous.

 

[jatsad]

So let me understand this.

In comes Thomas - another midfielder with no pace and very suspect disposal
Ramsay - very suspect disposal and gets beaten one on one all the time by players smaller than him
Out goes Reid - our best tall defender with good disposal who can swing forward
Langdon preferred over Shaz - another with no awareness and very suspect disposal

Well if that doesn't say it all

If, as I suspect, it comes down to our match committee being run by Cthulu as part of his plan to wreck the minds of all humanity, maybe ignorance is bliss.

Fear and loathing in the match committee.

I think they reached for the ether this week, the mushrooms werent psychadelic enough.

mushroom soup delicious

My money on internal suspension.

 

[surfer1]

Am trying to put, with extreme difficulty a logical spin on the ins and outs.

Howe is playing better than Reid, Reid I think showed he was underdone last game ????

Brown for Thomas I can understand

Elliott for Crocker I can understand.

Ramsay for Aish instead of either Shazz for Aish or Ramsay for Aish and Shazz for Langdon. I am of the school that Langdon wasn't that bad against Port, Ramsay by accounts has been playing ok in VFL he is in for Aish and I can live with that. It then gets down to Landgon or Shazz it's a bit either way in my view????

So the real one is Reid out and Cox in assuming they were thinking of playing Reid forward. Once again I can live with that.

Haven't had a meltdown but may well come late Sunday arvo

 

[danielnajdek]

Reids too good of a kick. We need spud kickers in our backline.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Whatever happens what is guaranteed?

Melting

So far the show has been spectacular....

 

[whiskeytown]

Can't believe j thomas getting a game! Keeffe was elevated fron the rookie list so early.... thought he'd play well before thomas. IMO aside from one or two games neither have done much in the VFL since coming back

Maybe acknowledgement for the effort by thomas to come back from the ban. In which case expect Keeffe to get his chance and blair to get his 150th by years end.

He's been injured for half his bloody career... Why the need to shy away from it now?

Our club is evidently not shy about having suspensions known...(see De Goey)

And what's the point of the late in?

 

[CFC2010]

Officially melt down Friday............................lol

My money on internal suspension.

Well if he plays VFL those odds will shorten considerably.

Im not happy with the omission of Reid and Shall either, but if you think Thomas has no pace, then you are obviously confusing him with someone else

 

[CFC2010]

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

And Reid had 20 disposals last week with 8 marks and a goal! He was one of our best defenders before we had to chuck him forward as we had no targets up there. How can you drop him?!

He must be injured. No other explanation.

Actually, I just thought of another explanation....Buckley is incompetent.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Scharenberg is obviously too good for VFL. We aren't winning the GF this year. Surely he should play the rest of the year in AFL. It's ridiculous.
