Changes for the Freo game?

[eliminator]

What  i th8nk should happen but wont

OUTS: Soldo, Castagna, Cellis, Caddy

INS: Miles, Lennon, Short, Graham,

Likely scenario

INS: Miles, Graham

OUTS: Caddy, Soldo

I agree but would also consider bringing in Bolton. Lennon should be brought in but won't be. Would love it if they dropped Houli and or Grigg but they will not.

[sabartooth]

Was at both games.  My changes

Out Houli, Caddy, Soldo
In Short, Graham, Lennon.

In Graham, Lennon, Elton?

[Owl]

Short Graham Elton

Elton? Really scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

This guy just isn't up to it. Not even up to vfl standard.

[big tone]

One thing is for sure and that's Nank needs to play first ruck.
Some players thrive when they are the number one, and I think Nank is that sort of player.
We need to find another tall forward not another first ruck. Soldo is a long way off imo.
Nank is young so I wouldn't worry about burning him out just yet. We have time to find a decent young forward/ruck help in the upcoming drafts.
What we have essentially done is move a player that was in good form away from what he was doing so well to try and fix another problem that has only made it worse.

We have a few options imo.
-give Elton another chance
-play Griffiths
-move Astbury forward
-or even give C. Moore a chance

I think what Saturdays game showed me is Astbury is still a bit panicky when really pressure is on. A move forward might just give him a chance to just jump at the footy and not have to worry about making a mistake.

We really need to find about 5 more goals a game if we are to compete in the upcoming finals because 70 points isn't going to be enough.

Whether is Astbury or someone else we need to find someone that can give us another target Up forward and playing Nank out of position isn't the answer.

We need to take a few risks because if we keep doing what we are doing, we will get the same results in the finals as we did on Saturday.

Unfortunately, relying on the rest of the competition to drop in standard isn't cutting edge coaching.

This is dimmers style and this is really the only reason we are in the eight and above most.

Still no Lennon kicked another 3 this week ???.Surely deserves a chance.

Would like to see us do something about the fwd line.

Would play Moore at f/f and Lennon across h/f. Jr at chf and then add the pace Rioli, Bolton and possibly Markov or Butler. Rotate martin thru there allowing Lennon some midfield time.

FF Rioli - Moore or Elton - Bolton
HF Lennon - Riewoldt - Markov or Butler. if anyone says that set up is too slow  i will go heave.
I prefer Moore over Elton because he is super quick and agile but Elton would offer a taller target and give Nankervis some sort of chop out.

the first 5 games of the yr we had a combination of Riewoldt, Griffiths, Elton, Lennon and McIntosh  we played two talls and sometimes three and had Caddy and Martin going thru there.
The first 5 games we won we also had  20 goal, 17 goal and 14 goal hauls  and at the same time was #1 for tackles and the fwd half pressure was great.
We dont have to play 18 smalls every week to maintain pressure

Interesting observations
perhaps we have corrected too far and need to step back and see whats required to get back there before finals
Knowing us though its unlikely well do anything and sit on our hands

[Lozza]

Think we now have a group of pretty astute coaches so I have some faith that between them they know the formula we require.

Would love to see Graham come into the side plus we definately need another marking option in the forward line so either Lennon or Moore have to be worth a try. We have two weeks to get it right and would hate the experimentation to begin at finals time.

You're forgetting one rather important detail - the main bloke who has the final say is still same useless stuffing idiot....

Absolutely agree with this and Moore has spend time playing that second ruck role. The forward half needs tweaking so why not start this week.

Out: Hardwick

In: Caracella

 

That's my only change

Dear God please make it so

[big tone]

Jack Graham 11 tackles and 19 touches surely gets him a game.
Come on Halfwit give the kid a go.

Graham for Grigg anyone??
