Review Suns v. North.

[SandyToes]

odd changes but perhaps underscore some club thinking
Fraser obviously not part of short or longterm plans
Smith was the next choice because you couldn't ruck Hickey all match resting with Day
Day needs to stay at home and concentrate on leading/marking/kicking goals..not blowing up in ruck contests
Patrick brings a little sparkle...maybe juice up a really flat team
Hine and Wilko over Maysie and Hutch..maybe they're giving those 2 their chance in the 2nd half of the season
No big surprises with the outs...sadly
Matt Shaw has been a big disappointment for me this year..Hall not my sort of player,Mini and Toy not doing enough...Sexton due for a spell.
On their day Brennan Stanley Day Russell and Matera can kick a winning score with help from GAJ, McKenzie and Patrick
Our backline is scarey...for us...not the opposition

 

[UP AND RUNNING]

Really wanted to see May/Weller in. Think we need more hard bodies. Great Hine is getting another chance no one could show anything in one quarter. Wish him all the best. The Horse is in which is good, Wilkinson also happy about.

May is quality. I think he's a better option than Thompson.
Weller would have been handy against a soft North.

 

[supernova_]

Reckon Wilko being one of our negators goes to one of Harvey/Swallow/Wells.

Stop those 3, and we will win. Rischa will probably go to one of them, and Wilko will get another I would think. But you cant be too negative.

Probably one of the most important ones to stop will be Swallow, he is the leading clearance getter for North, and I think double the amount of the next person. I dont mind the side picked to be honest, I think we are in with a shot

Brown in severe doubt for the game.

Only logical inclusion for him is May, with Hine the sub. Though that does leave us a bit top-heavy.

What's the weather like up there? Way too top heavy if May comes in for Brown

Extremely sunny and nice.

Only other option is Shaw, as Sexton is due for that rest I would say. Could see Shaw, as he's played that sort of role before. Forward and back, though needs to work his way into some better form.

 

[Sunny_]

Sexton the only one out of the emergencies not named in the NEAFL sheet for this week. Perhaps he'll get a run for Brown after all.

 

[kreglze]

Brown looked gone for all money last week, you would think he wouldn't be there and Sexton in, possibly as the sub if he needs that rest. Sub him in close to 3 quarter time so he can explode.

 

[Berankis]

Mckenna is to blame for all this chopping and changing. Let the kids have a run..
Hall gone after a decent performance again.. He really hates this kid doesn't he

Yes, he must hate him so much. That's why he elevated him above Horsley and played him as much as possible early in the season. Please.

I would be aghast if we didn't have changes after last weeks performance. That doesn't send the right message. When we do well, the team is barely changed. That can be seen through this year alone. If we don't, the axe is swung, and the people who didn't fit the structures or perform how they should have regarding the team are gone. It's how it should be.

What's the best way to watch Suns games that aren't on free to air without a high chance of giving the score away before you watch it? At the moment, I am waiting 12 hours and watching it on the smart replay, but it is very difficult to get there without seeing the results. Anyone got a better way?

 

[exile]

there are a few online services that stream foxsports i think. not allowed to discuss them on bigfooty, but try google. i don't know any though, unfortunately.

might try looking back on the gameday board (where all the old gameday threads on the main board go after the game has finished) and look through the first few pages to see if anyone was asking for a link to a stream, and PM a few guys to see if they still have a link to a service that streams the games.

Cheers. A live stream would be great, but I'd be happy with just an easier way to get to game replays. Will look into the streaming option though.

 

[Tazwegian]

Never mind, I found a way. You just go straight to [http://www.smartreplay.afl.com.au/?round=1095&match=10341103&videoQuality=high] that link, which makes it easier to not see the scores than trying to avoid them at afl.com.au. Then you can just click across to round 12, see where the game link is, look away - click it, then get the screen to full screen without trying to see the goals. Less painful than the other way I was doing it.

... Now I just have to avoid the internet and news sources until tomorrow afternoon

Late change. Sexton in for Brown. Sexton the sub.

 

[kreglze]

Glad that is what is happening, Sexton on as the impact. I think everyone knew Brown wouldn't be playing today.

 

[Sunny_]

With Brown gone, who do we have that has more than 20-25 games experience?

Warnock, Ablett, Rischitelli, Brennan. Four out of 22.

Starting to get a bit worried.

 

[kreglze]

Look, we know that this is going to happen. But we are getting games into the kids. That is what we need to do. With Brown going out, Sexton who is looking like a very bright prospect, who I rate currently higher than Brown.

 

[Sunny_]

Bennell roving according to the sheet on TV. That should be interesting to watch.

He'll change of course, but I hope he's not playing as an inside player all night. So dangerous around the goals.

 

[Herbs]

Go Suns! Up and at em.

 

[Sunny_]

Hine first touch, diving into the pack. Great to see. I'll be keeping an eye on he and Patrick in particular.

 

[Sunny_]

Looking good early. Defense holding up well. Getting our hands on it.

 

[Sunny_]

Need some reward for effort. Two shots on goal so far and only one behind.

 

[Sunny_]

Great tackle Rory. Love his defensive work.
