Our vfl boys are performing to that's what is puzzling. Ryan not in staggering why would you risk Balta in the ruck.What a waste of time that was playing Naismith as a forward. Mansell and Campbell still in again another puzzling situation. You got Coulthard and Cumberland. Smith and McAuliffe both in good form to.

Bring in Prestia no match fitness and Graham after one week even through he doesn't warrant it on form. Why not bring Prestia through vfl and build his fitness instead of him breaking down after a quarter. Poor decisions continues from the match committee.Garbage for me.

If Prestia does his hammy again whoever is in charge of medical should be sacked

Should run a book on which quarter he'll go down in..... :shh


Lmao @ Graham just waddling straight back in to contribute 9/10ths of stuff all again..... :facepalm


.....oh well at least we'll still have the high scoring firepower of Mansell & PoloCampbell..... :propeller

Prestia and Graham.

Great.

Two slow, injury-prone blokes coming off hammies.

Not inspiring.

Just to be clear he didn't strain or tear his hammy.

He had hamstring tightness, had a scan and got cleared of the above

But they decided not to play him last week. Probably influenced by the mss Port made with Rozee

But whatever

Agree with comments team selections very uninspiring.  Have not rewarded players for good form in vfl. Shows a complete lack of direction.

Could have dropped up to 10 players all out of form and no one would have batted an eyelid if each of them happened to be dropped.
10 was never going to happen but only three changes and hardly addressing short comings.

Balta whatever end he plays was always going to happen. Defense he comes in for grimes, forward then he replaces Mansell adding height.
Either way he gives us flexability and options to change things if it is going wrong.

Prestia for Dow. if fit does help our midfield. But only Prestia!!!!where the hell is a big body like McAuliffe that we are so badly lacking.
People growling about him going straight in but we had to do something about the bashing in the midfield.Plus  there still are not a lot of other options.

Graham Give me McAuliffe instead. What  does Graham offer? slow, not a lot of ball, few clearances and not a lot of contested ball.
He will have a dip i suppose more than can be said for others who have been selected.Make him the sub if we must.


Ryan for Naismith its a no brainer. Back up ruck but importantly  another tall option forward.

Coulthard high forward for badly out of form Campbell.

Cumberland for mansell, Campbell or Rioli do something any thing in an attempt to improve scoring.

Smith for Short when are they ever going to open their eyes

Trezise for McIntosh or Banks how can we keep picking players performing so poorly.

Vlastuin - Young - Broad
Brown - Miller - Smith#

Trezise#- Martin - Rioli
Nankervis - McAuliffe# - Prestia#

Coulthard# - Balta# - Bolton
Ryan# - Lefau - Cumberland#.

Baker - Pickett - Ralphsmith - Sonsie.
 
Thats 7 changes and how can you argue about any of them?

Revamped forward line with a taller structure and actually doing something different with smalls.
Inclusion of Ryan also gives us ruck cover and Nankervis a decent break thru out.

Midfield at least has some bigger bodies and there are plenty of rotations on the bench.
If dusty plays he needs to be a big part of midfield rotations.
Trezise to a wing this kid can play and we need to get games into him.
Rioli to the other  wing, it aint rocket science it then solves one wing problem and allows a kid like Smith a game in his natural position. actually rewarding real consistency at vfl.
Ralphsmith is on the bench to provide run and can play there as well.If we had picked McAuliffe and Sonsie then they would have needed to stop messing about these kids and play them midfield with good game time.Thats where they are putting the runs on the baord in the vfl.

Not that I'm against Grimes being "managed" (long overdue) but with Naughton, JUH, Darcy & English up forward for the Scraggers - who's replacing him down back...or at least his height?


Oh dear the cumdog returns. Fireworks on the forums Saturday night

Will kick 3 in the first then get abused for not converting it into a 8 goal game and swearing at Dow for kicking it over his head ...and he better chase the rebounders all the way to the opposition goal square and not miss a single tackle.... :shh

Post by: Hard Roar Tiger on May 10, 2024, 06:30:38 PM
Dow can’t kick. He can handball and puts head over ball and wins it. That’ll do for the time being. I am personally really looking for to Cumberland playing. Huge opportunity for the young man. There’s a spot in the team for him to be a massive upgrade on Seth Campbell and/or Rhyan Mansell. Hope he grabs it with both mitts.

Play him deep forward next to Balta me thinks.
