Changes for next week against the Swans?
« on: April 13, 2019, 09:30:09 PM »
Dimma post-game said Jack, Dusty & Houli could all be available.

We got through tonight with a clean bill of health.

Fire away with your changes?

Out: Graham, Menadue (if houli’s fit)

In: Dusty, Houli

Those are the obvious ones in my opinion. Will be interesting if Riewoldt gets up who will come out. I’d say Castagna but I’m reluctant to take out any of the small forwards after the first game where our forward pressure looked back to where it needed to be. I know people won’t agree with this but it might be balta who comes out. I know, I know we need someone to give nank a chop out but apart from that sensational intercept and run out of defence thought he was quite poor especially in the ruck where it always seemed like he would jump way too early and miss the ball all together.

First and foremost- what a great win!!

But seriously how bad was Astbury!
Is he the new, KP, Bellis?

I know that’s totally mean but he played like that tonight and also for a while now.

He cannot stop the big guys anymore so why have him.

FHO!.. he is a liability.

Are you taking the pee?

How many goals did the “big blokes” he was playing on kick?

I do think Graham needs a spell to find some form.

Martin the obvious in.

His last 7 games have been poo.

-Cox in the Prelim was the match winner
-Both practise games he was poo but obviously don’t mean much but he was poo.
R1-Harry McKay made him look stupid in just his 16th game
R2-Cox again at 9 foot tall made him look slow.
R3-Cameron kick 7
R4-And yesterday he couldn’t get near anyone. He didn’t really have a match up but he looked lost, slow and horribly out of form.

And to add to that he doesn’t give much when we have the footy like he has in the past.
His first thought when he gets the footy is to slow it down and kick it sideways.... sounds like someone else we all know- hence the Bellis reference.

Watch the replay of last nights game and concentrate on Astbury and see what I’m talking about.

Astbury has been super poor this season but so has our entire defensive system. Hopefully they’re just taking a bit of time to adjust without having rancey down there.

No doubt Dave needs to lift big-time I think the Rance loss hurting him tho.

Bit rich to blame Assberry for Cox in the prelim. Dave was sick as a dog and Cox flogged every opponent he had, which was Rance for most of the night just quietly.

But yeah, he has been poor of late. and by of late I mean since early 2018
