Prediction Changes vs Suns - Rd 18

[maddog37]

That would have to be one of our quickest teams this year - mcneil, richards, garcia, JUH, JJ.

Only Treloar missing from our quickest runners.

VDM

Young extremely unlucky considering Crozier has come in. Baffled by that one.

 

[Al dente]

We need to dominate this in the air. Day out and Graham (spud) in is a big win for us.

With Greenwood out, tag Miller. we cant afford to drop this one

 

[weltschmerz]

Rumour has it Libba’s not allowed back to Queensland after last years post-season hijinx. Bailey Smith very lucky to have made it. Caleb Daniel had to sign a contract agreeing not to bring his Evil Kineevil costume.

I thought it was Hunter bringing in the ladies and the nose beers

 

[bresker]

Good see Roarke back in. I really like him, though I’m happy to admit he’s an athlete trying to carve a career as a footballer. He provides heaps more pressure than Wallis or Hannan.

It’s a furphy to suggest that Hannan survived in the side because of pressure acts. He cares more about hangers and spectacular goals, neither of which he achieves. 85% time on ground is his crowning achievement.

Good to see Bev not being completely stubborn.

We see our players through rose coloured glasses. If Lewis Young

played for North we’d call him a spud. He’s not but he is one third -potato. I’d be astonished if another club picked him up if we delist him. Crozier is out of form but so much more of a switched-on footy player.

 

[ossie_21]

Libba out makes sense as he’s carried a big workload all season, but getting Dunkley back is about the best replacement we could make.

Touk is in amazing form, be interesting to see how we line up as Bevo never really plays a tagging role in midfield (that’s not Libba or McLean doing a job really). Maybe let him & Bmith go head to head…unless that’s why Rmith is in the team

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Cordy is simply not good enough in the air the play as a second tall defender. He gets outmarked by 190cm forwards.

Young needs to play if Gardiner is out.

Won’t beat Geelong, Melbourne, Brisbane or any team with two good forwards with this structure.

 

[0utsider]

So who is out of our best team? Libba, treloar Martin and wood?

Would suggest JUH, Garcia, McNeil, crozier and Roarke are the 5 will be fighting to keep that last spot when those 4 are right to go

Easy to forget about Vandermeer but I’d have him in our best.

 

[Munnez]

I guess the Suns don't necessarily warrant a three tall backline. Keath on King.

Worry that Corbett will carve up Cordy as the second marking target. He has too much toe for Cordy to keep pace.

 

[Braybrook Son]

Bevo has finally woken up! Gee, not before time!

 

[Doggies_13]

Easy to forget about Vandermeer but I’d have him in our best.

I don’t think his form prior this year was good enough to be a walk up start. But maybe that was injury related.

What about Vanders??

A week is a long time in footy
Team looks a lot better
I agree with your post and I believe Gardiner won't be back anytime soon
Finals are coming up quickly and we need to get Young up as the third tall defender

 

[Doggies_13]

What about Vanders??

Don’t think he’s a walk up start based on his form prior to injury and the improvement by Weightman etc. In my opinion he is in that 20-26 player bracket.

Agree
Vanders has missed a lot of footy
Out for a 13th week - sadly

 

[Boof09]

Disappointed that Young is out, I think we'll regret this later in the year. Just give him games in defence to build his confidence.....

Playing him as they have and dropping him goes against everything they have allowed and said with Bevo's fav Gardy

Cleary the MC don't see it that way which I for one find baffling

 

[Virgin Dog]

I've been critical of Roarke over the years, but he was great for us earlier in the year.
He was BOG in the VFL last week.

I like Roarke, when previously I called for him to be delisted. Gives it 110% and never too badly exposed playing wing/defence

 

[stefoid]

I cant believe hannan is out. One of our most consistent players.

Seeing the number of medium forwards out, does Roarke play forward?

 

[bresker]

I think Roarke has kicked about as many goals this season as M. Hannan

 

[ossie_21]

Consistently poor/out of form/disappointing?

 

[Mojorisin]

I thought similar when I first read the changes, although I thought it'd be crozier going forward. Eeek

 

[glenashley]

Great to see JUH stay in and not concerned with the outs as, apart from Libba, I don't see any as our best 22.

 

[weltschmerz]

Forward line with talls Bruce Naughton and JUH, mediums JJ and Hunter, and smalls McNeil and Weightman looks good on paper to me.

 

[perro_loco]

Surprised with young but all the other changes make sense and two of the changes have been coming for a couple of weeks

Not surprised by Young. At times he looked like Bamby.
