Discussion Round 5 v Melbourne @ MCG

[Plugger35]

Just our f***ing luck, we had an advantage with our tall marking forwards in the first quarter and now the rain has completely wiped that out. Hard for any of our tall forwards to take a mark at the moment.

We need to rely on our small forwards to kick goals now like Milney, Cripps, Montagna etc. Pity Schneider is still injured as we could do with him right now.

Probably need to sub one of our talls off in the 2nd half, most likely Stanley who struggles in these conditions.

Wouldnt be surprised to see Roo subbed off. Doesnt look right and went off with what Ch7 said shoulder issue.

 

[Plugger35]

Goddard needs to lift too, I made him my Supercoach captain and he has barely got a touch.

 

[StFly]

Yeah Stanley stays, second ruck is vital at stoppages and he's competent than anyone else out there, sub Rooey as it's not often you see him on the bench huffing and puffing or labouring like I do. Something clearly bothering him or he's simply not shown up.

Wouldn't be subbing too early though, wet footy can bring injuries in a cascade, so would probably give it 10mins in the 3rd to see how the games going before trigger gets pulled. (if I were contemplating it)

This is good practice for next week.

They are playing as fierce around the ball as the Hawks will, so deal with it, and go to another gear.

Still sure we'll win, Demons been having a crack early in recent weeks, it's sustaining it.

 

[Plugger35]

We're struggling in the stoppages so hopefully Polo can help there when he comes on.

Need to put Montagna up forward to play as a crumber. Can't leave it all up to Milney to crumb goals.

 

[Rors]

Wouldn't mind one of our forwards getting a free for a push in the back in the act of kicking for goal like Aaron Davey did in the first quarter... You know, just sayin... Some consistency would be nice!

 

[Rors]

Why on earth would we play 3 talls in the wet? I know we are currently in front, but it really isn't working

 

[Simple Jack]

Hawks by 1000 next week.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Wilkes has been one of the shining lights this week

 

[Kozivan]

Wowee wilkes

 

[Superduperouzel]

Wow what a kick from Wilkes

 

[stkildathunda]

WILKES you little ripper!

 

[Sir Robert]

Holy shit Wilkes has put his hand up.

 

[Plugger35]

Wilkes!!!

The boy can kick

 

[stkildathunda]

What a mark by Wilkes!!

Also Polo bout to be subbed on

 

[saintsrfreak]

And what a mark by Wilkes! Doesn't convert though

 

[saintsrfreak]

Now he's being subbed off!!!!!
WHAT THE F***!!!!!

 

[stkildathunda]

What the **** StKilda how the **** can you sub Wilkes off.l. thats a ****ing disgrace

 

[phantom13]

Was about to say Wilkes can play a bit and we sub him off

 

[Superduperouzel]

Why the hell are we subbing Wilkes off ?????

 

[Gray Day]

Not trolling here guys. Can't believe Wilkes was subbed off. Looked to have some clean hands and kicked that wonderful goal from outside 50... puzzling decision as he was playing very well.

 

[saber_32au]

Wilkes subbed off WTF???

 

[Plugger35]

Wilkes subbed off wtf?

He was dominating up forward.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Ridiculous substitution. All I can say.
