Ins & Outs Round 11 vs Pies

[bulldogsman]

Let the carnage begin.

After that performance Everitt, Moles and Eagleton at the very LEAST should all come in.

Aker, Higgins, Stack and Addison should be the first to go.

 

[Unknown Caller]

Ins: Eagleton, Moles, Everitt

Outs: Aker, Addison, Stack

Higgins has been terrible, but I reckon he is safe for one more week.

 

[always right]

Ins: Bulldog supporters. Where were they last night? Pathetic turnout that matched the pathetic performance.

 

[smashh]

Eagle in for Stack
Everitt in for Addison

Aker won't be dropped. Higgo won't be either, although he's not 100% fit, maybe a few weeks off could do the trick.
Can't wait to get Ward back in there

 

[Spectre]

In: Determination, effort, an appetite to play their best and to win.

Out: Current team mentality.

Without this change, all other changes are meaningless.

 

[Dorval6]

Moles and Everitt for sure (should have been in this week!).

Stack, Addison will prob go.

Plenty of others on thin ice but these will be the scapegoats.

 

[Werewolf]

Higgins should be played deep in the forward line. I'm not convinced droppping him is the way to go.

Ins: Everitt, Moles/Eagleton, Wood/Reid*, decent footskills

Outs: Addison, Stack, Akermanis, Richmond-esque skill level

*Not sure where these two are at, but would have to be better than the current frontrunners.

 

[Rookie]

Out: Hahn, Addison
In: Eagleton, Everitt

I wouldn't mind seeing Reid or Wood getting some games at this stage, but I'd be loathe to drop Aker. Give him another game or two, a player of his quality should rise to the occasion.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Ins: Bulldog supporters. Where were they last night? Pathetic turnout that matched the pathetic performance.

Harsh. Last night was no different to other Bombers home matches against us.

In: Roughead (why was he dropped in the first place), Moles (at least he's hard at it), Everitt, Wood

Out: Addison, Minson, Akermanis, Stack.

 

[DognBones]

In: 21 more Ben Hudsons, or, if we can't find them, anynone who can play 4 quarters of honest footy.

Good point. I think there is some players who are not being Honest out there. You can really see the difference between efforts of players who are born with talent Acker, Higgins and Hill for example and the efforts of players who have had to work hard like Hudson, Picken, and Cross. Chalk and Cheese if you ask me.

Eade is also at a loss as to what is the issue. Can't say the players take him to seriously of late.

Out.
Anyone slower than Cross in a sprint.

In.
Anyone who can run for 4 quarters. So frustrating waiting for Ward and Reid to get back. Shame the season will be almost over by the time they do.

That is a distorted considering the 2 Essendon rucks Ryder and Hille were virtualy allowed to play as unchecked link players.

I think we need to bight the bullet this week and give Jordan Roughead another crack, perhaps even as a 3rd ruck forward option with Hudson & Minson ...allow the 2nd ruck on the ground to drift back around half back like Scotty Wynd used to. Perhaps Dylan Addison should make way.

I think it is game over for Aker and we need people who win more ball in the guts; I think it's time Brodie Moles got a good run at this

Brennan Stack exciting..stay on ice Brennan, Johnno will probably be retired next year and you will get a lot more game time. In the meantime Andrejs Everitt should pop in for a go.

My side against Collingwood next week

Back Morris --Lake -- Hargrave

H-Back Gilbee -- Williams -- Harbrow

Centre Everitt -- Picken -- Moles

H-Forw Higgins -- Grant -- Hahn

Forw Hill -- Hall -- Roughead

Foll Hudson -- Cross -- Boyd

Inter Griffen -- Cooney -- Minson -- Giansiracusa


I think the 4 guys on the bench will get the message

 

[2691617]

In - Eagleton, Moles, Everitt

Out - start of the list, Addison, Akermanis (old and slow needs a rest to nurse him through), Stack

Considerations for being dropped
- Higgins
- GIA (too slow), 3 weeks ago basically BOG, last 3 weeks crap, lack of pace is a worry
- Hahn, tries but slow and disposal is disgracful at times

 

[lindsay_bulldogs]

After reading some Willi reports I think Wood should be in for Addison. Reid also in best. See you later Acker. Everitt also up there.

you didn't think Griffen had a good game?

I think it is a bit harsh on the 3 of these guys who for the most part are Half Forwards, and even though are probably not firing as well as they would like I consider have all played to an extent like secondary forward options which is what they were required to do after a big power forward such as Barry Hall was added to the mix.

I honestly don't think the inclusion of Brad Johnson would give us any extra.

Likewise I think we need players like Josh Hill & Jarrad Grant to also help a Barry Hall led forward line work.

My biggest current concern about the Dog's is too often we are being beaten in the midfeild.

When was the last time Coon & Griff simultaneously had a great match ?

When was the last time Boydy was clearly "BOG" ?

When was the last time Crossy was clearly "BOG" ?

When was the last time Cross, Boyd, Cooney & Griff all put in a solid 4 quarter performance ?

When was the last time Gilbee was "BOG" ?

It seems the players who are supposedly our best, are sort of just being there rather than playing exceptionally.

Just doing enough, keeping away from the fans displeasure but not actualy tearing the game a new "rse-hole" like some of the Essendon players did last week.

Something missing from the players we consider are our best at the moment, and sadly I think the 5-6 of our best are too pre-occupied about I'm allright I've done enough ("ME")

Rather than 1%'s ..I'm heavilly tagged so I will tackle, I will help, I will bump, I will chase, I will sheppard, I will spoil, I will provide an option, I will tag....("US")

The Bulldog midfeild needs to go back to square one and earn respect.

Because at the moment most clubs do not respect it.

They think the Bulldog midfeild is

"SOFT"

 

[cooney]

Aker will be suspended for the game so i have heard. A club imposed one week ban.

 

[Coooooooneyyyyyyyy]

+1.

Higgins your last last shot

On his day Higgins can do anything. Having a quiet game after a week off shouldn't cause him to be dropped.

In recent weeks Williams has done enough to deserve to be dropped twice.

I thought Hahn needed a wake up call and a week at Willy might help him

 

[garfdog]

Out: Minson (not good enough), Addison (not required with Picken playing), Aker (not playing well enough), Stack (had a couple of good games but not yet ready to cement a spot in the team)

In: Roughead, Everitt, Wood (we need an injection of pace), Reid or Moles

 

[100action]

Why do people want to bring in Eagleton? this kind of love for eagle is very pigdog like; Wood, Reid, Moles and Everitt had better VFL games and can play his role.

I do hope pigdog doesn't read this!

Seriously though, you are spot on. Eagleton was dropped because he wasn't performing & did nothing at Williamstown today either.
