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

[HFF]

We cannot play 3 rucks. That is just laughable if this happens.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

OI !! some of us arent up to season three yet!!!

 

[left at home]

Haha wow..

Playing 3 rucks when the game is actually faster with less stoppages.

Either Buckley and the selection panel are tactical geniuses or they have dead set lost the plot.

Unbelievable.

l think you will find till we start winning consistently there will some different selections from now on.
season properly over, so lets see who wants to play for us

What a load of shit. We have three winnable games and that will put us at 7-7. Finals are still a chance albeit with little or no room for error and the coaches and selectors will still be aiming for that. Just because some bigfooty random has given up doesnt mean the club has.

Personally don't believe Buckley has the luxury of picking unbalanced teams just to see who wants to play for us.. we win 1-2 games for the remainder of the year and Buckley won't have a job.

Thats another way of saying what i said...what a load of shit

 

[Hardas]

Just a general comment is there anyone that can mount a case for how that makes us better than we were last week?

...nup...

 

[Hardas]

I honestly hope they prove us wrong as I support Collingwood regardless.
However I have a bad feeling about playing these 3 in the same side.

I am actually baffled at a lot of the selection decisions these days.
Surely Brown plays instead of Frost?

THIS.

 

[Hardas]

is it nice and warm up here

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Correction...Bucks will have a job...but will it be at the Holden centre?
He has 2.5 months to salvage something from the season...the drums are beating in the distance.

nice reply. l don't expect the club has totally given up, but they will be realistic to where we are. the way we are going and playing. do you really think we are better than the dees right now. l hope they give it all unlike last week. and if they go who knows. this random has not totally given up
but looking at it with sum reality

 

[pablo disco bar]

Any chance we keep witts at years end?
This club is a mess

Bad Cloke is out

 

[TheSierBear]

Terrible decision playing Witts, Grundy and Cox in the same side.

I love the decision and I picked it, 3 up against Gawn, love it.. I'll be vindicted.

 

[DaVe86]

I hope im wrong but thats an awful looking team.

I just cant fathom the decision to play 3 rucks, not to pick cloke and to play frost over brown. Ill be happy to be proven wrong.

Bucks has his Favourites

 

[wicksy]

But oh for the return of Ygritte....
Be still my heart

Yuck

 

[Quicky]

Unbelievable.

Cox won't ruck this week. He'll be a permanent forward. But I agree its a dumb selection decision which will leave us unbalanced.

I like your positive approach. Depending on the conditions, there's potential here. Sure it makes us look top heavy and slower but that's the role of others. It poses the challenge for these three blokes to give us a significant advantage in the air. Witts will give us more in the ruck than Grundy and those urging a trade at the end of the season will be giving up a very valuable player. Just an opinion there's a chance I'll be wrong, but then I don't claim to know more about individual players and football in general than those currently in charge.

I wanted them to go with it. X 2 about not claiming to know more than those in charge. Nonetheless I still want to think of myself as astute. Reckon Witts v Gawn will be bigger than people think. BTW, Grundy averaging 18 disposals and his potential to play a Blicacs role may have had a baring on the decision.

Sorry - just carrying on the Game of Thrones references from a few earlier posts.

I'm in an equal amount of pain over the same selections, and I'm not one to let it bother me normally.
