Changes against the Lions?

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Only reason Tiller should get a game this week is if Eade decides to put him up forward where he belongs and our players look for him, not ignore him like they did in the second game against Melbourne when he was out on his own so many times within range.

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Hudson for Street aside, any other changes are incidental tinkering...There's 3 or 4 blokes who genuinely warrant demotion to Willi, but nobody banging down the door to make a case for promotion...not even some polite knocking.

What we need is the whole bloody team to lift and avoid being fodder for another opponent with plenty to play for...Brisbane, at home, with a spot in the eight on the line is no walk in the park, and if even half our blokes treat it like a dead rubber I think we can guess the likely result.

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Is Hudson right to come back in though? If he needs rest it makes sense to leave him at home for this game.

Saw Eagle dragged down to a back pocket for a short time on Sunday, which made me SCREAM

First time I actually let fly with the F bomb at the footy for a very long time was when I saw Eagle playing in the pocket and letting Campbell run into an open goal.

I apologised to the people in front of me soon after.

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Absolute no brainer with the outs....

Hudson and Hill in.
Street and Tiller out.

Happy for anyone to come in for those two really.

I didnt think Hill played very well at Willy on the weekend.

Re: Changes against the Lions?

We could go Lake to Bradshaw and Morris to Brown ... that'll confuse 'em

Oh yeah kinda like when David beat Goliath scenario

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Tiller and Street were both woeful on the weekend and are not up to playing senior level.
How can you be that tall and not be able to take a mark above your head.
Not like anyone is able reach and spoil.
Street will have to stay on the list because of height ,but Tiller will be lucky if still on list at end of season.
Eagleton should have been dropped last year to try and get some form back.
When he pulled out of the contest against Geelong he should have been made an example of.

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Are we the first team to play in every state and territory in one season ?

And if we beat Brisbane and Adelaide surely we will be the only team to have won in every state and territory.

And would that therefore mean we are The Undisputed Australian Champions ?

Sorry but this is BS.
Why will he be lucky to be on the list? Its his second year of senior football. We've kept worse players longer.

Agreed, Tiller has shown steady improvement during his time on the list, and certainly won't be delisted at seasons end.

Pretty harsh assessment KT31, although Tiller's form has been pretty average the past few weeks.

Re: Changes against the Lions?

Wonder if any clubs would be interested in trading for Street. Maybe a 3rd round draft pick for him?

With Ayce Cordy coming on board next year, Minson maturing, Hudson reaching his peak, Boumann a possible ruck back up, and if we draft another 'mature' ruckman...do we need him?

He has played well in the VFL in patches this season, but at 27 if he was going to show any promise/form in the seniors he would have done it by now.

No point having a mature backup ruckman if he plays like he did vs the roos.

1) Who in their right mind would give up anything at all for Street? 3rd round pick? You're dreaming. Steven King was a premiership ruckman and was worth nothing.

2) Why would you delist/trade Street and then draft another ruck backup?

3) Ayce Cordy weighs 70kgs. He will not play ruck in the seniors for years. he is also first and foremost a forward rather than a ruckman.

4) Boumann is 196cm and not a ruckman either. Perhaps you meant Mulligan but he's only a rookie and has been playing VFL reserves.


I agree with everything else, though.
