INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

[bornadog]

If Tiller has another good game today, he comes in, besides that, no change.

Last thing we need is to bring in an under done player such as Addison (would love to have him out there), but we can't afford to carry any more blokes who aren't 100%.

Yes we already have Higgins and Callen under done and in my opinion carrying them, plus we have first year players in Hill and Harbrow, plus Hudson not fully fit.

C.Ward was named in Willy's best with 4 goals.

[Dancin' Douggy]

Why?

What will he bring to the team that we don't already have?

I reckon he might kick three or four goals for Willy and come into consideration...... just a guess of course.

Good call wise guy, he will replace which of our small forwards?

[Dancin' Douggy]

Didn't realise he was a small forward.

[Mantis]

Didn't realise he was a small forward.

He isn't strong enough or have enough endurance to play in the midfield just yet so has spent 90% of his time in Bulldog's colours in the forwardline.

So I ask once again who's spot does he take?

Barring injury why would we change the side, who would we bring in that would make a difference? Bringing in a tall against a small Sydney forward line appears futile. There is no midfielder at Willy with the experience or hardness that will make any difference this Friday night unless we want to give youngsters final experience. I don't see the point.

If Hudson fitness isn't going to allow us to play Minson up forward for at least 60% of the game then we might as well play Skipper as well.

There are plenty of cases for and against playing Ward. Pies seemed to do alright with their kids yesterday and we are better off in the long run blooding him now.
Take your pick on who he replaces from Ray, Higgins, Harbrow and a few others.

Not a bad idea that - Cal Ward for Eagleton

Does it concern me less about Ray that he was actually getting the ball and running into the right spots? Nup, he butchered it or put teamates under pressure, and it's time a line was drawn through his name.

I bet there's no change. Ray did at least do a job on O'Keefe last time around and may get this again, and Eagleton can't play that badly again can he? Can he?

I agree with that - and have Skip play the Minson role and not on the bench while Wil's in the ruck (which seemed to be the case in Adelaide)

Having a tall forward isn't a bad idea if he get's Leo Barry on him.

[LostDoggy]

Might be true. 1 tall option there at least gives a long bomb under pressure hope.
If our midfield turn it over or play as badly as they did last week then it won't matter who we have up forward.

Boumann kicked 7 yesterday for the reserves.

You're surely not suggesting a call up from Williamstown reserves to an AFL final against an experienced and seasoned opponent?

[LostDoggy]

lol Peter Street has more of a chance than Boumann
