Changes next week for the Swannies game?

[tigersalive]

Out: Nason, Edwards, Connors (injured), Simmonds
In: Roberts, Polo, Webberly, Browne

Smaller ground might help Browne out a bit more, play him in conjunction with Vickery.

Foley and Griffiths to play at Coburg.

Why drop Nason before Nahas??  Especially if you are bringing in Roberts I'd think on form and for a like-for-like position player Nahas must go before Nason.

I am sorry but Hislop has had his chances. Taylor is not the only option to replace him. Would rather give an untried player a chance than persist with Hislop. Giving away multiple is ill discipline. To say Martin does not need help is simply wrong. Look at the Bulldogs they do not rely on just one player to win the hardball. Remember Martin has not been heavily tagged yet what happens if he does. It is naive to say he does not need help. If you bring in Tuck it lessens the pressure on Martin. Having Tuck in the team does not prevent blooding youngsters.

So name the player we replace Hislop with that plays his role?

Martin has Deledio and Cotchin around him.  Even Thomson is better to have around than Tuck being a player who actually has a hope of playing finals with this group in the distant future.

WE clearly have different opinions of what Tuck brings.

Hislop has played 14 games in his career as part of a developing side, I'd hardly call that "had his chances". Taylor may not be the only option to replace him, however you couldn't have picked a more opposite player to consider replacing Hislop with. Taylor lacks intensity and needs to work harder. Hislop's best attribute is his hardness at the contest and forward line pressure. Granted Hislop would want to improve this year, however as long as he's doing the job Hardwick is setting for him, then he's young enough to keep his spot. Start looking at the older player to get rid of, not the kids who are still developing.

Polo

[pmac21]

In Polo, Graham, Webberley, Roberts, Rance, Cousins
Out Hislop, Nahas, Simmonds, Jackson, Thomson, King (all these players have one thing in common. Can you guess what is is ???
THEY CANT @$$#@$ KICK !!!!

Play Polo, Roberts, Cousins & Rance forward with Reiwoldt & Morton

Graham to ruck all day

Webberely on the wing running free

Hislop is a one dimensional footballer. He is not particulaly quick on the lead. He is yet to show he is good at taking contested marks. He is a poor kick. Just because he is young does not mean we should not drop him. JON played less games in the seniors and was delisted. You have to have one than one string to your bow if you play in the forward line. Look at players at other clubs eg Ryan O'Keefe at the swans he now plays in the midfield. Look at our own team players like Trent and Brett have one than one string to their bows. Applying just defensive pressure is not enough you have got to kick goals. We are struggling to kick goals as it is. We need to support Jack and Mictch. Giving away 5 free kicks is not defensive pressure. I agree try Polo. He can kick goals.

Greg Denham on KB's show just before said Tuck is a "certainty" to play this week.

[torch]

so In: Tuck and Cousins ... who will miss?

i think this is not a good move!

 

[mightytiges]

King, Hislop and Nahas would be in the gun to get the chop. Robbie has done nothing this year and the Kingy and Sloppy are just not up to it.

Bring Tucky in would just be a stopgap measure.

Word is Browne could be in

As long as he comes in for one of our too many smalls then I don't have a prob with that.

Edit: Nah Browne's not one of the ins.
