Sounds like none of Samson, Steely and McAuliffe are getting the call up going on Caesars training report from today. Yze said in his presser we'll likely stick with the 2 rucks too -

2024 Training With The Ooze Crew

Teams know to flood back against us, leaving few options especially when the kicker is under pressure. Lack of composure plus inexperience doesn't help I don't know why we don't just kick it out of bounds in the forward pocket at that point. Better than kicking it to their player by far. Gives...

I'm not keen on Naismith playing forward again. Perhaps they could try Tylar Young up there?

So far Yze has only been keen to move the older guys around though. He seems pretty keen develop younger players in one role.

Me either. Maybe we'll try Crayfish #1 ruck and Nank forward this week?

whats the point of playing naimsmith over ryan?

 

[YeOldTiger]

I thought he had been almost exclusively forward before last week.

Was a mid for Sth Freo colts and was bloody good. Likened to Bakes. Hard at it, in and under. Very small tho.

We gotta be tanking, playing Short off an injury and no McAuliffe. Oooze can go and get stuffed.

Bet he plays Sonz in the pocket again.

whats the point of playing naimsmith over ryan?

Probably to combat their dual ruck set up of Darcy and Jackson.
I would have gone Samson on top of those two as well though.

People can't, on one hand, demand that players get dropped for poor form, then on the other hand demand someone gets promoted on the back of poor form. Noah's form hasn't been good at VFL level, he's been very inconsistent across games and you only need to read Morris' player notes to see that.

As I mentioned this morning, last weeks game against Casey is something that Noah needs to produce for 3-4 weeks in a row to demand he gets at least considered for selection. I want Noah to succeed as much as anyone does, because the more young players that can step up the less holes we need to fill moving forward. To do that Noah has to find consistency from quarter to quarter and from game to game. At the moment his impact on games varies wildly from quarter to quarter.

For me it's not so much about Noah, more about what the team needs, goal kickers.

His form across the VFL has been pretty consistent. Had a poor week where he carried a knee knock in the first Q vs Swans, but otherwise he has gone hard and run and pressured well. And I agree for his own sake he should come in with a string of good games, but our small forwards have run dry of goals, Campbell and Mansell one goal between them in about 4 or 5 games. I am pretty sure he would equal their output and add some. The big spaces of the G suit him, better AFL that VFL player etc.

 

[tiger_tough]

Short and sonsie in for Hopper and Graham

 

[_RT_]

 

[tiger_tough]

Ryan stiff....again. I'll spew if Sonsie is sub ahead of McIntosh.

 

[prodigy]

I hate seeing Sonsie in that spot on the interchange. If he is sub I'll actually lose it.

But Noah isn't kicking goals at VFL level and he has been poor over the course of the VFL season as a whole. Last week against Casey was his best game, but even Morris said that he wasn't thrilled with his first half. That inconsistency is what is holding Noah back from being selected IMO. The opportunity couldn't be any better for him to have come in and shown that he deserves to be here longer than this year, but he hasn't grasped it and unfortunately I fear that he'll end up like Stack did, a waste of talent.

 

[peternorth]

Sonsie 10 clearances and a heap of contested touches in the VFL. Hope he brings that to the AFL especially clearances

Naismith has hands, Ryan does not so makes it impossible for him to play the sport

Yze wtf are you doing playing Naismith again he was useless! I would understand it if Samson hadn't been doing so well in the VFL. Playing a 31 year old over a young lad with some potential should be a war crime!
