Unofficial Preview Changes vs Melbourne Demons, MCG Sat 7.25pm

[The Nostradamus]

What’s Tucker done wrong to deserve being dropped?

doesnt have the photos that bailey has

tucker should at least be sub and more importantly back in next week for scott

 

[andana]

Maybe this is CCJ's fair well game, so show some bloody respect.

I hope he does fair well.
Be a surprise, tho.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Over/Under on Melbourne KPD marks from our kicks is set at 28.5….

What’s Tucker done wrong to deserve being dropped?

He was crap. Looked completely confused the last two weeks. Like Howe, he’s played 100 odd games and might have found his level. Shiels a better option this year on exposed form, maybe Hall (ugh) will play higher up the ground? Want Bergman in but I guess the VFL side got smashed. Persisting with a pretty slow backline…

If Drury goes well again surely kayne’s spot is under threat. At least we’re trying something new up forward, Simpkin back helps heaps, and Phillips is stiff but maybe getting leather poisoning in the twos won’t hurt him. Scott and Taylor stay in because they are among the few that run both ways all day.

Yeah of course so do I, but it would turn 6.5 years of CCJ's career on its head for him to do so.

oh well

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Our forward line lacks any sort of movement so we decide to bring in a guy whose movement is about as good as an iceberg (CCJ). Free has had just as many shots on goal in the last 3 weeks as CCJ and he has actually taken more marks.

Turner retains his spot for god knows what reason.

Howe out is the only positive.

Tucker and Phillips didn’t really deserve to be dropped.

 

[Horizons_00]

At least he made some changes without throwing the whole team out

Tucker was stiff but I don’t understand how Greenwood doesn’t deserve a spot

 

[Horizons_00]

Maybe this is CCJ's fair well game, so show some bloody respect.

You’ve been a live one lately lol

 

[viccles]

Wtf Tucker and Philips out but Turner in???

 

[kool kangas]

l think they meant Turner not Tucker...Close but no cigar...

well laugh or cry I suppose. I really felt last yr we'd finish last, I thought this yr we'd improve somewhat.

FYI- we haven't at this stage.

 

[William Caresser]

The ongoing selection of a guy who was delisted last year for good reason - but who then some how got a reprieve - and then somehow got selected to play round 1 - has averaged:

• just 0.7 tackles inside 50 (below ave)
• a just OK 15 pressure acts (ave)
• just 8 possessions per game.

And he's kicked just ONE goal for the year.

Some will say he is the least of our problems. It's beside the point, he's not performing and shouldn't be in the side. It sends a bad message to the list when an underperforming spud keeps getting picked. Every player on the list under 189cm should feel aggrieved that they're missing out for this guy. You don't need any experience playing as a pressure forward to be a better bet than spud Turner. It's a new low in NMFC selection.

 

[Devington]

Tucker been a bit anonymous recently but wouldn't call him bad. Rough on Phillips, but makes sense now why clarko immediately brought him up (and talked him up) when questioned about Comben. Howe? fine with his dropping.

As for the ins. Shiels I'm fine with, Jy it's great to see I just hope he's actually good to go. CCJ though is a bit bloody baffling.

 

[nicko74]

Happy to see CCJ in the side to be honest. A new coach might do the trick. You can only hope

[Devington]

Bench is interesting. I suspect the best 18 was named on the field.

Oh wells, best we get ready for the reaming we're going to get from Ray and his team.

 

[Moti]

CCJ can actually take a contested mark and means we don't have to throw Charlie in the ruck. Good structural change in my opinion.

It was the most obvious change that needed to be made

I thought after last week that Turner out & Drury in, was a good fit

Ray too...

 

[kool kangas]

Have we played all 3 talls Larkey, Comben and CCJ in the same team either before or more than once this season?
