Selected Team for Round 6 - Tivs out

[bluey_21]

Int (from): Tuck, Pettifer, M White, Edwards, Hyde, Howat, Moore

So which 4 of the 7 do you ppls think will survive the chop?

I think Tuck, Pettifer, Edwards and Hyde

I hope Edwards, Hyde, Whitey and Moore

[bluey_21]

Just hope that Edwards stays in and Tuck gets dropped 

[peggles]

don't like howat.....not liking it that he's now back on the radar...
he's just so soft......dun win any contested possesions at all.....
whitey should certainly get the nod before him...

i think moore ought to be in as well....

[WilliamPowell]

The 4 I'd keep in are:

Edwards, Moore, White and only just Tuck

Gotta keep the kids in I say so Edwards and White should be a given

[DallasCrane]

I'll say it, Tivendale is unlucky to be dropped!

Yes, his decision making and kicking have dropped in the last two weeks,  perhaps they are making an example of that, but there have been worse offenders, Tuck, Bowden up until last week, Bowden had 3 very average games why didn't he get dropped, I hope now that they are setting that as a standard and keeping to it!

WP, no room for Hyde in your side?

Int: Edwards, Hyde, Moore, Tuck.

Tuck very lucky but I think he might be kept in just for his size in close otherwise it'll be all left to Foley.

Moore in as a extra option down back with Geelong having a tall forward line.

I'll say it, Tivendale is unlucky to be dropped!

Agree DC compared to others who have been out of form all year - Tuck's effective kicking has been only around 50%  and Petts has done nothing for 4 weeks. I think Tivs being in his late 20's has something to do with it. He's not going to improve any further.

disagree, tivs should have beebn dropped 1.5 yrs ago, its been along time coming and he is not a team player and does not do the team things. forget his pathetic disposal, its all other areas of the game he is letting us down also.
he has no positive influence on our team at all!
now joel, he may make the mistake here and therel, but his upside is way bigger than his down side and at least he still has postive influence over the team
i hope we do not see tiv again, i hope we start playing 4 quarters and start getting wins on the board and the kids play well ensuring tiv will fade away in coburg

tuck should be next and he and petts may still be dropped

i have been very hard on tuck cos he ios carrying that ankle , but if thats the case , he should not be out there

You have to be joking.  Bowden?  Bowden's been playing both key position and rebounding defender and doing a great job.  Terry's asked too much of him but he still comes up with the goods.  He is our smartest and classiest player and with Brown out he is our only A class player.

[DallasCrane]

Agree that he is our only A grader Harry, can't agree about the form though.

The West Coast game was the first time he has had more than 20 possessions this season.
He had only 28 kicks in total after 3 rounds, not good enough for a rebounding defender, regardless of whether your minding a tall. My guess would be that Bowden wouldn't have been that happy with himself after Rnd 3. Actually last time Bowden was dropped it worked wonders for him....
I don't think anyone should be exempt from this, A graders, leadership group, whatever. Set a standard and stick to it! Richo has made more clangers than Tivendale this year maybe he should go...

True Harry Joel is our classiest player out there at the moment but he still outsmarts himself at times as that pass in the second quarter straight to an Eagle on 50 which costed us a goal illustrated. If he cut that out of his game then I would call him A-grade.

unfortunately no Dallas - his constantly wanting ot take on the opposition insteand of taking the first option has been costly the last 2 games. Also if you want talk about poor disposal ...

[mightytiges]

Kayne survives again! Sure Edwards didn't get much of it but at least his possessions are  constructive and opens the play up in the midfield. Petts has the talent too but he needs a kick up the backside after 4 straight ordinary games.

Happy with the inclusions though.
