So potentially Murphy, Gibbs and SPS out of an already shallow midfield. Graham, Kerridge and Cuningham to replace them, possibly Smedts.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I hope Cuningham gets a game
Buckley in defence and Docherty on the ball
McKay would be tempting
Kruezer in for Phillips
Weitering in defence and Rowe up forward

If Rowe isn't locking down a KPD spot, he shouldn't be in the 22.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

If Rowe goes forward and Weitering back, then we've lost the plot.

Would go against everything we set out to do and want to become.

100% on Rowe. Though Weitering going back is fine.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I'll help you.

Rowe is being played back to support the young guys.
Throwing another 19 year old into the back-line, doesn't fit this plan.

What good would it to play Weitering back other than for him to get his hands onto the ball? Is that it?
Does Weitering need to touch the ball to make him a better player? Is this 40 year old head losing confidence needing us to prop him up?
What if he plays bad down back? Plan B?

We had a roadmap (is that the term that Bolton is using now?) but a couple of poor performances and we want to rip it up?

BTW. Rowe isn't such a great forward........that's why we put him into the back-line. Easy to forget, I guess.

Harker for me, if Weitering goes back, IMO, there is no place in the team at all for Rowe. I'd be more than happy from this week onwards to go Weitering, Marchbank, Plowman and Docherty Williamson and Simpson as the back 6 moving forwards. No problem with that at all. In fact Id prefer it if I'm honest.

Thought we'd see that soon but was expecting maybe after the Sydney game. Still, no point in flogging them now at all. They've done well to get up for this many games this early!

Looking forward to seeing who comes in. Maybe Polson will have more time on ball too. Great stuff.

 

[HARKER]

Always going to happen, so rest and rotate is fine.

Cuningham as good a chance as any.

 

[AB_Blue]

So
Mcreadie, SPS, (rested) Phillips (omit) murph (inj)

Graham, Cuningham, Smedts and Kruz you would think!

Thomas well....I'd rather Kerridge over him tbh

Simmo - Rowe - Plowman
Smedts - Marchbank -Williamson
Cuningham- Cripps - Doc
SOS - Weitering - C.Cunow
Wright - Cas - Pickett
Kruz - Gibbs - E.Curnow
White - Polson - Fisher - Graham

I mostly agree with this except the playing KJ and Jones.

I would drop Wright for Graham

Macreadie for Cunners and play Weitering down back.

I'd keep Pickett in for one more week because I genuinely think he's close to making an impact.

I agree Smedts for Polson though I wouldn't be upset to see Polson play another week.

I'd keep Pickett in for all 22 games barring injury.

 

[thylacine60]

kerridge I continue to liken to carrots both in his ability to accumulate and his need to improve - his hands, his de, his composure - and as with carrots we all thought well if he has it 35 times that's 35 times they don't - until he kicks it straight to them of course

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Yes but we would have to drop Rowe to play him?

No problem with that TBH. I think A Silvagni offers a bit more than Rowe does.

 

[barass70]

Very good chance

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

wow - that was quick

Not really surprising with SPS. Didn't have much of a preseason if I remember correctly.

FB: Plowman - Rowe - Marchbank
HB: Docherty - Weitering - Simpson

C: ECurnow - Gibbs - Cuningham
OB: Kruezer - Cripps - Murphy

HF: Silvagni - Jaksch - CCurnow
FF: Pickett - Casboult - Wright


Inter -
White
Williamson (I want to see him higher up the ground playing on the wing/midfield)
Fisher
Polson


McCreadie (soreness) replaced by Jaksch or McKay
Petreski-Seton (soreness) replaced by Cuningham
Phillips (omitted) replaced by Kruezer

 

[Jabba73]

Any chance we throw Doc and Charlie into the guts for large parts of the game? Especially if Murph and or Gibbs are out and SPS is sore/tired.

 

[ShanDog]

With what I see as a lack of speed and numbers in the middle to run both ways, I'd like to see:

Out: Macreadie, SPS (rested), White (omitted)
In: Cuningham, Graham, Smedts.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Midfield is the only place we should be playing him. IMO he is a midfielder, not a KPF.

Charlie maybe.

Not s fan of Doc as s mid.
