Prediction Changes v Melbourne (5 added to squad including Phillips, Cloke and Oxley omitted, see squad in OP)

[DrDavoren]

Poor wet weather game by us, mids were all down and clear lack of accountability along with no leadership.

I think we have the weakest leadership group in the league.

Pies are having another down year and inevitably something will give.

Likely to be sweeping changes at seasons end if not before.

About to enter the darkest hour in our clubs recent history.

 

[Scodog10]

Cloke can't go out because there's no one to take his place.

That and it would be grossly unfair on him given White equally ineffectual! Either way I bet it doesn't prevent a portion of posters on here getting stuck into him.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

That and it would be grossly unfair on him given White was equally disappointing!

Yep neither were great. Cloke looked timid and horribly out of form, and Jesse had two really bad misses. I probably have Jesse slightly ahead as at least he got the ball in dangerous positions where it was bad he missed, but little in it.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

In Marsh Aish and Williams
Out Frost Goodyear and Oxley

Phillips a possible suburb also

Has he porked on the weight?

Your are forgetting the mighty GAULT is back. Yay we're saved!

 

[TradeDraft]

Get rid of Jarryd Blair, he offers nothing to this side.
Makes poor decisions on the few occasions he actually get the ball, can't impact the scoreboard and gets shrugged off tackles too easily. I've had enough of this bloke being gifted games each week

But he is the Player bucks love. Just Good Tryers

 

[Go Pies!!!!!]

Cloke and white can't play in the same team, white looked crap today after a good 4 weeks. As for changes where do you start.

Out: Frost, Toovey, Blair, Goodyear, Cloke
In: brown, marsh, Phillips, aish, williams

 

[Swanny36]

Personally I'd look at taking out Toovey and bringing in Marsh to take his spot as the third (quick) defender.
Frost can go to the VFL and Brown comes in to replace him as our negating KPD. I just fail to see how Frost is up to AFL standard.
Oxley to come out for Williams as he brings a lot more physicality and intent, which we're severely lacking.
I'm not sure who we could replace Blair with, but I'd leave him out next week as well.

OUT: Toovey Oxley Frost Blair
IN: Marsh Williams Brown ???

Season's pretty much done now. Should get as much experience into the kids and drop the older senior players with limited upside who don't provide any leadership.

Out: Toovey, Frost, Oxley
In: Williams, Brown, Aish

 

[Bad Horse]

Out Smith in Williams
Out Toovey in Marsh
Out Frost in Brown
Out Oxley in Phillips

And maybe Out Goodyear in Aish.

With more in the cupboard you would look at dropping the likes of De Goey but we can't. And Varcoe has been a shadow of his best since returning from his hammy.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Phillips a possible suburb also

Like it

Our zone defence evolves to postcode defence

 

[TW Sherrin]

What rubbish you can't blame the defenders. Would have been good if any of them apart from Howe could get to within the same postcode as their opponents today.

ok. damn defenders cost us the game.

 

[DrDavoren]

Out: players getting a game on reputation
In: players who will have a crack and have an ounce of ability

 

[speedytiger]

Now that the season is clearly gone selection will be interesting. A coach fully secure in his position would surely 'play the kids'

Bucks doesn't have that luxury and may choose to pick the best possible side each week

 

[robertg22]

In: Brown, Williams, Aish, Phillips
Out: Frost, Toovey, Oxley, Crocker

 

[anshell]

Backline needs shoring up after that diabolical display.So
Out .Frost,Smith,Toovey,Oxley.
In.Brown,Marsh,Goldsack,Williams.

 

[legendstatus]

Nothing like a consistent team that know each other back the front !

[Rustin Cohle]

Is Goldsack fit? Surely he could not be worse than Toovey.

Blair, Frost and Oxley should be the first three named in everyone's outs.

 

[Implanttheseed]

Out: Frost, Oxley, Maynard, Goodyear
In: Brown, Phillips, Williams, Aish

I like this.. Goodyear offered nothing unfortunately. I'm excited to see Phillips get a crack now

 

[Pdid]

Cue the Cloke scapegoat posts!

Whilst we've been poor across the field it's the midfield and back half that have let us down today!

Out: Oxley, Frost and Smith
In: Williams, Brown and Phillips

About right i reckon. Smith maybe stays. Oxley needs a break

Quoted because i like it.

Wouldnt mind Aish in either, maybe for Crocker.

Works for me too. As much because Goodyear stays. He gave us nothing, but I'd like him to get the extended run Crocker has and Aish can't give us less than Crocker, IMO.

Oxley needs the AFL equivalent of a trip to the glue factory he's just diabolical under the slightest pressure and I think he managed to walk off the field bone dry today given he probably dodges rain as easily as he dodges body contact.

Don't use BigFooty on an iphone

 

[Dead Eye Didak]
