Final team v St Kilda

[snrub]

If Scott is serious, he will at least get rid of 3 of them

Wouldn't be surprised if he only cuts 1 or 2 tops.

Very happy to see Obba being given a go, a good reward for his recent good performances with us at Werribee.

I think the consensus of people is that it is overdue some of these young blokes be given some game time and others be put on notice. Not sure stress is the right term, rather I think some are a little surprised with the structure of the selected side.

This weeks team seems to be picked adhoc with little thought of structure. I would rather test our depth out with a balanced side for starters. You would be pushing to see a more top heavy team selected.

In other words Crock, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Structure was never a consideration when the calls for a number of players' heads was most shrill on this board. It's only when the changes are made that we realise certain maligned players possibly do serve a purpose, albeit that "they won't be in our next premiership team".

Yep, Jones and Thomas are safe. Power should go, I can't see Scott tolerating his piss poor attempts at being a footballer. Harris is the interesting one. I can't help but think that Scott may believe he can get the best out of Harris.

Harro can play... he just can't run. I don't know if Scott is going to be able to fix that.

good luck guys, hope to see a good scrap tomorrow

Good of the club to give Smith and Obst a farewell game.

fairly obvious that on a board such as this there will be plenty of different views on how to do things. How often would you have a consensus on team selection?

I am sure Crock will still sleep ok tonight knowing that not all of BF will agree with the team picked this week.

Yep, Jones and Thomas are safe.

Jones is far from safe. I reckon it's just about over for CJ.

Harro can play... he just can't run. I don't know if Scott is going to be able to fix that.

Scott has said repeatedly that he values players who win there own ball, Harris is definitely a player who does that, so I'd say Harris might get another season.

Jones is far from safe. I reckon it's just about over for CJ.

Contracted for next season, would be on something like $200k - $250k.

He ain't going anywhere unless another club trades for him.

I agree Nick but the key for Harro to survive any cull is proving he can do it over a full game. That's where there's a big query hanging over his head!

We all love him when he's "ON", but geez he can look pedestrian when not in form.

 

[viccles]

Are Harris and Powers contracted for next year?

 

[mark73]

I'm not too fussed.
We have nix to play for, and are giving a host of players a (possibly overdue) chance to show their wares against the best side in the comp, in a match we'd struggle to win either way.
Planning for 2010 has begun.
Why all the stress?

I wouldn't call it stress on my part, but Obst is not going to be an AFL footballer. The endeavor is there and the work ethic, but the thing we're trying to get away from he brings in spades - crap disposal. With regards to the outs, we'll never know, but maybe Scott has already started influencing his influence.
