Sad to say but I am now comvinced Jones will never be up to AFL standard
Wouldnāt be tinkering too much at all with the squad this week.
Tracking beautifully at the minute.
Out : Bryan, Prior
In: Sweid, Al Achkar
Perfect world in addition to losing Bryan we drop Shiel and Setters, move Hobbs to middle with Tsatas, play El Hawli and ADW, and make Nguyen sub.
Wouldnāt be our strongest team on paper but would give a lot of kids experience.
OUT: Prior Bryan
IN: Tsatas 2MP
Ridley McKay McGrath
Redman Reid Roberts
Martin Shiel Duursma
Perkins Jones Gresham
2MP Caddy Menzie
Draper Durham Merrett
Bench: Setters Hobbs SEH Kako
SUB: Tsatas
A couple of weeks ago they led Brisbane by 5 goals.
One of Wright Goldstein or Visentini should play. Can always sub one out late in the 3rd if necessary.
If they think Wright needs more game time / match fitness then theyāll prob play Goldstein and sub him at some point. Would be great to give Vigo a go, but they wonāt.
Tsatas is the other obvious in and heās had the extra week to get the hand closer to 100% (although realistically it will need longer).
Another pretty good team effort so Iām not sure who youād drop.
Is this a joke?! Goodness me heās having a ā ā ā ā run of it.
Itās no joke
Are people really suggesting we bring in Goldy or are they pi$$taking ?
Media going with their paltry 77 contested possessions being the lowest ever recorded in the history of the AFL, looks like eagles will be under pressure this week , just as melbourne were this week, basically whoever we play the next week will be under the pump in the media
Vigo isnāt ready if you swapping out Bryan straight for another ruck. Its Goldy and Draper plays forŵard or 2MP and Draper plays ruck.
Out: Bryan (inj), Jones
In: Wright, Johnson
Wright for Bryan
SEH for Jones
Shiel for Tsatas if we are actually backing youth
McGrath McKay Reid
Redman Ridley Roberts
Duursma Draper Martin
Merrett Durham Shiel/Tsatas
Gresham Caddy Hobbs
Perkins Wright Kako
Prior Setterfield SEH Menzie
Surely Wright for Bryan.
I know Prior is the new whipping boy but at the game last night he was doing well. The backline had a chance to gel well against a poor forward line. Reid looked great and as much as it pains me to say it Mc grath looked like the only person that could keep Picket under control
Wright for Bryan and SEH for Jones. There should be no other changes. The absolute goal has to be consistency of team selection following a win when possible
Goldy will come in. Draper canāt ruck all year by himself they will want to preserve him
Last two weeks, weāve played 14th and 17th. Next three weeks, weāll play 18th, 4th and 15th.
Iām worried that the logic of backing in the winning team will just mean that Shiel, etc. who we need to move on, will keep getting games much longer than we need
There are so many other options than selecting a 35 year old ruckman in a team thatās on the rebuild/reset or what ever you want to call it.
