Changes for Sydney (Round 12)

[camboon]

Out : Helbig and Browne

In: Hislop or Webberly  and Gus


 Picking players on form!  Helbig and Browne need to work on their skill errors!

Post, Griff and Dr X need to find form

 What is the go with Mitch Morton - is he going to GWS or is he still in Darwin looking for a power point.
 
Has all the skill , just needs to show the gut running courage he showed last year ( blew up like a pink pig). I thought he was going to fly this year but proved me wrong so far -hope he's injured and not MIA.

[WA Tiger]

I would like to see Webberly and Hislop get a game, maybe Gus too, just for the size of him against Sydneys ruck.

Who to drop??? Farmer, Helbig and ???

One more week for Griff though.

[eliminator]

Gourdis? He played well against Collingwood. I agree Webberley should be rewarded for his efforts. Would be good if they brought in Griffiths but I can understand if they give him another week in the Coburg side. Would drop Farmer and Helbig.

[gerkin greg]

White shouldn't play. He will have played only 1 game in a month.

[Smokey]

I'd give Miller another run, I like what he does to our fwd line structure and he was the only one who got on his bike, Roo and Vickery just sat in the goal square.

I'd give Browne another run - give him 2-3 more games.

Agree on both of these TM.  Was surprised on Sat night when Miller was subbed - I thought he was the only key forward playing to anything like a structure and creating opportunities in the air and at the foot of packs.  Although it would make sense if he was still affected by that virus as as been suggested in another thread.  And Browne needs to be given another 2 weeks minimum to bring his development along and show the coaching team if he is capable of learning and improving enough to justify persevering with.

Pretty sure Miller was subbed because it was pretty clear that it was not a night for talls
He may have been playing to structure but he can't kick for goal and was not taking any marks
Better off with another runner in the team

Probably right Inf but he was the only forward making fair dinkum leads and creating contests that gave our small forwards a look.

Agree smokey - we nust have been at the same game 

Perhaps Miller got subbed ahead of our main forward because that players name was Jack - could you imagine the outcry if Jack had of been subbed? And I reckon he was terrible Sat night

RICHMOND

INJURED:
Daniel Connors (quad) 1-2 weeks
Matt Dea (leg) 2 weeks
Will Thursfield (leg) 2 weeks
Dylan Grimes (hamstring) indefinite
Kel Moore (hip) indefinite

ON THE BLOCK: Brad Helbig, Andrew Browne

ON THE CUSP: Angus Graham, David Astbury, Ben Nason

MICK WARNER’S FORECAST: Coach Damien Hardwick says he’d prefer another game than the bye, but the week off comes at a good time for his fledgling Tigers. Forget the conditions at Darwin’s TIO Stadium, Saturday night’s loss to Port Adelaide was all about work-rate and intensity, well down on their effort against the Bombers. After the bye come two more tough road trips with games at the SCG against the Swans and Brisbane at the Gabba, followed by Melbourne and Carlton at the ‘G.

You could drop 3/4ers of the side based on Saturday's night effort.

Out: Helbig, Miller, Farmer

In: Edwards, Post, Webberley


Hislop played well but tired in the last qtr for Coburg. May need another week or two at Coburg to get his fitness up. I guess he could be the sub but if we lose a player early in the game then playing a bloke still trying to build up his match fitness would blow up in our faces. A bit like Farmer last week. Needs time at Coburg after missing a fair bit of footy. Helbig needs a run and a full game in the VFL as well as he's struggled the past few weeks making silly mistakes.

[WilliamPowell]

Out: Helbig (needs a rest), Farmer

In: Edwards, Webberley

Out: Helbig (needs a rest), Farmer

This sounds about right to me.

Browne wasnt great but he wasnt the worst. It was only his second game and was in conditions that didnt suit big guys. Lack of effort was not his problem so give him at least one more game.

It hasnt been mentioned on here but Grigg has had a couple of shockers, I know he started the season well but the last couple have me wondering if he doesnt need a bit of a rocket up him. Ill give him one more week but if he plays like the last few then I will be calling for him to be dropped too.

[gerkin greg]

Not sure about Edwards coming straight back in, he will have missed 3 weeks of footy. Is that too much? With Whitey playing only 1 in 4 weeks don't want to be carrying too many underdone blokes. Bit of a gamble. Same argument being used against Sloppy and he's only missed the bye, albeit working back from injury.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Changes for the SCG: -

In: Cider
Out: Mid strength beer.

Emergencies - hipflask, syringe filled vodka prima, crack.

[The Big Richo]

Turn it up Dookie, middies are right up your alley.
