Mansell available after serving his suspension.
Fire away with your changes, if any?
-
Out: Ryan
That is all.
-
Ryan and Dow out
Sims and Sonsie (inside mid) or Mansell in
-
Hard to drop anyone after a win but Sonsie deserves to come in so
Sonsie for Dow. Have Sonsie & TT rotate at half forward.
Id give Ryan another shot and we must play a 2nd ruck against Gawn, can't have aske shift ruckman.
-
OUTS: Ryan, Green (unlucky)
INS: Fawcett, Mansell
Based on Sims' game against Frankston, je doesn't deserve a call up
-
Ryan out
Riley Reid replica blow up doll in
I never do the “changes” thread
But I felt I’d offer like for like
-
Wow expected to see Dow name out like it not his doing his job and we know he will be a soldier only.
-
I’m coining a new phrase. DDS , otherwise known as Dow derangement syndrome.
He’s not getting dropped. Hes been pretty decent this year - in a role he’s supposed to play .
I can see him playing 100 games for the club .
-
I think Miller should be dropped too. I know Blight isn’t the quickest or most mobile but balta being back in with his speed and athleticism should help offset that. Either that or give gray a go back there.

I thought Miller did okay last night.

Trainor a bit stiff, just a question, how do you all think Tresize is going??

I thought he played his best game for the club last night. Persist for now. On Trainor, it was move that paid off, got a weeks rest on a short turn around, and sat on the bench and learnt.
-
Wasn’t a fan of tresize last season but thought he’s been ok this season and quite good yesterday.
-
Out: Ryan
In: McBean :shh
-
Dow was better last night but it’s a bit like playing for the australian test team. You get enough games and eventually you have to start doing something
-
Ryan out. Mansell in.
-
5 day break
OUT Ryan. Dow. Short
IN Sonsie. McAulliffe. Mansell
-
I don’t rate Sonsie. You cannot drop Dow after the weekend. Did well on Anderson who’s a gun.
-
OUT:
Green
IN:
Mansell
I would keep Ryan in the team to relieve Nankervis and rest Ryan deep forward.
I would want Sonsie, MacAuliffe, Smillie to dominate VFL for a few weeks. Who do you drop?
They will not or ever drop McIntosh, Short.
Dow, Ross rotate through midfield.
Banks could be dropped? I rather leave him on the wing with Hugo.
Green has been patchy. MJR can’t be dropped after his moments.
Does Trezsie keep his spot?
Is Trainor the unfortunate one? He should be playing in my opinion.
-
Personally, I can't see how we continue to persist with Ryan.
Offers nothing and just doesn't seem to have any skill or value.
Steely Greene was equal second on the ground for pressure acts
I don't rate Sonsie either but can we first see him play in the middle? Please!
Seen enough of Dow. Anderson was the fourth most effective player on ground and had over 20 possessions in the second half.
-

Anderson carved him up. Dud didn't even lay a tackle as an inside mid, shouldn't be on the list let alone in the team. :shh

My dad reckons he'll make a player.
I don't see it.
I think his attack on the ball is good and his hands are reasonably clean but agreed re: tackles, zero as an inside mid is pathetic and although he finally jagged a goal I think his kicking is poor. He doesn't get anywhere near enough ball like Taz and Hop to justify low kicking DE.

Time for dad to head into Specsavers for a quick checkup

No he didn’t. If he and Rowell were at their best, we wouldn’t have got within 5 goals of them.
He did well. Anderson snuck away a few times but neither nor Rowell (after qtr time) had a massive influence.
Mind you, I am not a fan - he was one of the worst picks in what is proving the be the all time greatest top 20 draft ever.

Sampson is out injured for 3 weeks with a foot injury.

Trainoe should be playing but how can we fit him in? ( could short be dropped??)
Imagine if Gibcus and Mykleti were available plus McCauliffe needs to be added then we have Smilie and maybe Hotton soon, wow going to be a good problem to have
-
We play Melbourne, West Coast, North and Essendon over the next five weeks
Interesting to see where we sit after that batch
Might play ourselves out of the bottom few spots if we play like we did on Saturday
-
Good Damo.
-
Gunna stay true to playing as many kids as possible.
Out - Balta curfew, Ryan Injured.
B: Vlastuin - Miller - Trainor
HB: Brown - Gray - Smith
C: Campbell - Lalor - HRS/Banks
R: Nankervis - Taranto - Sonsie
HF: Rioli - Faull - Algar
F: Green - Lynch - Blight
Hopper - Dow - Broad - Trezise
-
Out: balta, ryan
In grey, mansell,
-
Looks like it's back to Ben Miller which is unfortunate
-
Surely Trainor comes in ??
-
Surely Trainor comes in ??
Surely he was only having a spell to give his body a bit of a rest
Agree with you , surely isn’t out on form
-
Yze said after the game that Trainor was managed.
-
The game won't be won or lost with Balta out (although it hurts), Melbourne lack big forwards so match Gawn and win the midfield contest where a show
-

Coach said in his post match presser, Trainor was the sub to basically manage him and give his a body a rest

OUTS: Ryan, Green (unlucky)
INS: Fawcett, Mansell
Based on Sims' game against Frankston, he doesn't deserve a call up
Updated:
OUTS: Ryan, Balta, Green (unlucky)
INS: Blight, Mansell, Gray
Apologies to Fawcett, would love him back in but not sure he can play 2nd ruck. Blight can
-
Grey to debut. Thank god !
-
Mansell is no A grader and he has missed four weeks. A game in the two's wont hurt him.
The kid Green should stay in the team he did what Mansell is there for pressure and he did it well as did Rioli. We need a classy goal kicker to compliment those two so its Algar time for me.
We know Mansell will come in though i just hope we don't drop either Green or Rioli to allow it to happen.
Blight for Ryan should be a no Brainer. Third tall and Nankervis chop out and he offers up great flexability if we need it by being able to go back.
Campbell Gray continues to play well and should get Balta's spot. again its time and we need to continue to play our youngsters at every opportunity.
Trainer has to be bought straight back in he needed a rest sore young body i assume. He has been one of our best defenders imo and we need to continue his development in the seniors.
I still think our flanks and wings are a real liability Time to move Campbell to a wing. Its also time to give Smith a hb flank and a DECENT GO. NO MORE SUB ROLES FFS.
Sonsie really should get his chance in the midfield even though i think he lacks in several areas for the role at AFL level.
Would love to pick Smillie as well but selection integrity yes selection integrity a reason why i think Mansell needs to find form in the two's so should Smillie put some good games together there.
To accomodate these changes we need to actually drop some older players.
Ross has not had a good game sinse round 1.
Imo McIntosh is literally taking games of kids and is not a mids hole
Short has been shizen for two and half years and im being generous. Just try Smith or Trezise there even Banks. Time to move on from old scaredy pants.
Ryan injured and going by his game id say we have dodged a bullet for a few weeks at least.
Balta well he continues to pay a price for being dumb.
People come from the angle of we need those older blokes and the team is worse off without them. I disagree whole heartedly.Balta will be missed but his absence provides opportunity for a young player going well in the two,s isnt that what its all about.
Algar has far better attributes than Mansell and brings something we lack. Mansell has not played for 4 weeks and should have to come back thru the two's. Green did enough to keep his spot as did Rioli.
Smith has attributes Short can only dream of i firmly believe a good and proper run at seniors will see him develop nicely over the year.
At the least he won't panic and play scared.
McAuliffe over both Ross and McIntosh another we need to just put games into. Again he brings something all of our mids lack, pace, size aggression and can get on the outside. it really should be a no brainer. He just needs a free run at it from all the niggles.
Sonsie 35 disposals in three quarters. It is time to give him his midfield shot at the level it means again one of Ross who has been poor or McIntosh who is no mid give way.
Even with the 5 changes the side does have plenty of older heads so we are not leaving the team bereft of leadership.

Gray debut is well deserved.
The silver lining to the Balta fiasco.

Blight wasn't great in the vfl he doesn't come in for me.

How'd Gray go?

You do realise how young our side was last week?
You do understand that winning isn't a bad thongs, the Cubs need to experience winning ::)

It’s an absolute ramble , but I’m going to try
I THINK he wants
Ins
McAuliffe, Smith, Sonsie, Blight, Gray
Outs
Ryan, Balta, McIntosh, Ross, Short
Also complained about Mansell coming in .. hoping Rioli and Green keep spots
-
Cheers damo.
Yeah I wouldn't make 5 changes after a stirring win.
Ryan and Balta out (personally I'd play Balta to 3qt).

Yes i do you clearly don't. it was older than gcs side.. Win with kids not hacks who don't deserve a spot.
That game could be played 20 times over and GCS would win them all easily. No wonder Hardwick was livid. Wins do sometimes cover over the cracks.
Gray a forced in for Balta, Blight a forced in for Ryan so theres two forced changes.
Big no to Mansell this week. He has had four weeks off and is no star he should work his way back thu the two's. what did Green and Rioli not one of my faves do wrong.
If we bring in a small it should be Algar who at the least has had some continuity and shows good signs. Nigel will be back soon enough.
Its simple would you rather we play McIntosh or McAuliffe, Short or Smith, Sonsie or Ross, Those three have been shizen most of the year. I know what direction i want to see and what message id like to see sent to these hacks.
Fmd Thomson freakin Dow as poor as he is has shot past em.
Stuff winning with hacks i could not give a stuff if we don't win another game for the season not with so many horrible older players getting a free ride. A few wins with the kids worth celebrating.
Play the kids at every opportunity give Algar a taste this week reward sonsie's very good vfl game, McAuliffe who was decent and will be better for the run is badly required in the senior midfield. Smithy had 31 across hb geez am i playing him and getting games into him good or bad or are we just gunna keep on putting up with Shortsteps who is an absolute disgrace and only gets a game like McIntosh because being older is some how better than kids with better attributes.
Get your head out of your arse WP.
-
Nice closer. :lol
-
Ah how did those older blokes stand up tonight WP. Play the freakin kids and stop making excuses for them or going out of of ya way to find ways to defend them.
First time this year i have truly been peeed off.
So where was Ross McIntosh Short and co when the whips got cracking. How did Nigel go surely it would have been better to give Alger a game this week but no you keep backing in hacks who are never ever going to take us to a flag. Well FFIN done WP.

I am not actually not going to bother reading your replies, or respond what's the point you'll just abuse some more
But here's a tip or more to the point a final warning. Keep abusing me and I will suspend you.
Debate all you want but for what seems like the 1000th time do it without abusing people who don't agree with you or that give any opinion opposite to you.
As I've said to you many times your opinions are just that your opinions which you're entitled to but that doesn't make them anymore valid or important than anyone elses and they certainly don't give you some sort of licence to abuse if people disagree with you
So I'll repeat keep abusing me like you have twice in the space of 2 posts or anyone else for that matter and I will suspend you
Clear enough for you
