Preview Changes Vs Gold Coast Round 13

[larrikin]

Which is really an inditement on where we are right now

What does that even mean? That he's not good enough to be in an average team?

 

[Jootube]

I want to see Sheed play a full game next week, but not at the expense of Hutchings. Either rest Cox or get the banner out for his last game.

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

Rest Cox, give him a home game fairwell later in the season.
Great guy, amazing servant, but we need to pump games into Lycett now.
Seeing the Gov and Lycett as well as guys like Sheed / Tunners get games will at least give us something to look forward to.

 

[Apollo2011]

Cox can just stop playing all year please, give Lycett games - Cox won't play on in 2015 and Lycett needs to play games before he wants a trade elsewhere.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

I will be seriously p1ssed if we lose Lycett.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Lycett, Sheed, Sheppard
Out: Cox, Schofield, Cripps/Hutchings
Sub: Cripps/Hutchings

 

[truman]

What does that even mean? That he's not good enough to be in an average team?

That even though he's playing well below par there are many more deserving of being dropped

 

[WereFlyingHigh4]

Really just want some young guys to be played. That way if we keep losing like we are it at least makes it interesting to just track the progress of the younger guys to see where they're at. Watching Yeo play all year has been good and McGovern made the loss today interesting cause it was still good to see what he can bring as part of our future. Sheed, Lycett, Colledge and Tunners should all be given extended goes.

 

[Doughboy]

Does anyone think we can actually win this game?

I certainly won't be tipping us

 

[Eastern Rangers]

This board has descended to a similar level as Facebook at times this season.

Even last year. I remember when you said you wanted Dalziell retained.

Did I really? heck.

 

[Keys]

Did I really? heck.

Drugs are bad mmkay

 

[dajesmac]

Drugs are bad mmkay

Never again.

I think it must've been an emotional response to how badly we were playing and he was genuinely having a crack. Not sorry he's not on the list now of course.

 

[fidstar]

Crisps isn't being dropped gents

Sheed needs a run. If JK is healthy, not really sure who to drop. Cox might get a rest week (hopefully).

 

[Suma Magic]

Bennell Mackenzie Glass
Hurn Brown Wellingham
Yeo Priddis Gaff
Masten McGovern Darling
Shuey Lycett LeCras

Naitanui Selwood Sheed

I: Ellis Rosa Hutchings
S: Cripps

In: Lycett, Sheed

Out: Cox, Schofield

Harsh on Shep if he's fit, but I want Sheed to play.

 

[Marlin01]

Ellis has done some nice things, but how many games has he managed to play 4 quarters? I thought the obvious move would have been to have subbed Cox for Wellingham, but Simpson subbed Ellis instead, so that robbed us of run in the last quarter and a bit.

 

[BroughtonMid]

really hope lycett gets a crack to reward his good wafl form.

Ellis still needs to build his workload up due to the minor interruptions he keeps getting. It's frustrating, but I'd like to think he's close.

Hurn not really offering much, would like to see what he can offer playing on ball or up forward. He'd only need a handful of tocuhes to create some damage. And with Naitanui palming him the ball, geeeeez.... We desperately need a big body midfielder who can kick, we have a cast of half back flankers

 

[Clint Beastwood]

I'm another who would love to see Sheed and McGovern get another game, and Lycett get rewarded for effort.

So:

B: Glass, Brown, Ellis
HB: Hurn, MacKenzie, Bennell
C: Yeo, Priddis, Gaff
HF: Masten, Kennedy, Cripps
F: Lecras, McGovern, Darling
R: Naitanui, Shuey, Selwood

I: Rosa, Lycett, Sheed
Sub: Schofield

Emergency: Hutchings

- I think Schofield needs to be in there. Adds some dash, tries all day, can kick and is versatile.
- Give Coxy a rest for a week or two. He's gone off the boil in a big way in recent weeks.
- If Turbo McGovern can take a mark, and all we can do is bomb it long, put him at FF and let him do his thing.
- I desperately tried to work Hutchings in there. He would be the inclusion for Schofield.
- If Shep's fit he can come in for Schofield.

 

[eaglesfan84]

Sheed won't get a game next week, he's not in good enough form to warrant selection. Tunbridge, Colledge and Maginness are ahead of him atm, and with Shep likely to be available, he'll come into the team before Sheed.

I'd like to see Hurn, Darling and Yeo spending more time on the ball though.

 

[eaglesfan84]

Cripps and/or Brown won't be dropped anytime soon, I think they are both playing quite well this season, it's others that need to lift their game:

[ziad]

GC by 40-50 if they have recovered from this weekend. We must play strong young midfielders. Now - where do we get the?

 

[Jed Clampet]

B: Glass, McKenzie, Bennell
HB: Hurn, Brown, Sheppard
C: Rosa, Priddis, Shuey
HF: Wellingham, McGovern, Darling
FF: LeCras, Kennedy, Cripps
R: Natanui, Yeo, Selwood
I: Cox (think Lycett is already packing his bags for SA), Ellis, Tunbridge, Gaff

 

[The Falcon Strike]

What I think will happen

In: Sheppard. Out: schofield

What should happen

In:lycett, Sheppard. Out: cox, schofield

Cox has been awesome, one of the all time greats but Father Time catches up with us all.

We arent challenging this year, and cox is a coach so clearly the future is on his mind.
