Round 9 Ins and Outs Vs Geelong

Re: Round 9 Ins and Outs Vs Geelong

Don't take it as me bagging Williams, calling for his omission, or saying he's not going to make it. I think he beat Miller well on the weekend. What I'm suggesting is that he doesn't seem to be as much of an attacking player as he has been in the past, even if thats just taking a couple of marks down back or backing himself to kick long. I'll repeat: By no means is he not playing well.

Williams number one job is to keep his opponent in check, what comes after that will fluctuate given his background with very little AFL growing up, not being a natural footballer, unfrotunatly he got towelled up last week in that area, but came back EXTREMELY well against a more experienced player and a player very much in form in Miller, he did his job.

Re: Round 9 Ins and Outs Vs Geelong

According to Rockets press conference Higgins will be back next week...Shaggy maybe a chance, to be monitored..

Someone asked 'With murphy out will that open the door for Jarrad Grant to come in..?' Rocket said "Higgins will come in.." With a bit of a smirk...so not really giving much away.

If Callan was in our best @ Williamstown..we need him back.

In: Callan, Shaggy & Higgins
Out: Murphy & 2 Of Everitt/Addison/Harbrow

Re: Round 9 Ins and Outs Vs Geelong

Why is Harbrow one of the candidates to be dropped?
He is doing well in the BP, we also lack pace through the middle and if he moved upfield can help in this area.

In: Higgins, Hargrave, Stack

Out: Murphy, Picken, Giansiracusa

I know Gia won't get dropped but for me he is playing ordinary soft football. I've included Stack at his expense to try something different.

That's absolute crap, John.

I gave Gia votes.

28 touches, 2 clangers. Game high 6 goal assists, team high 600 metres gained.

Agree, I thought he was OK..

Whilst i have been harsh on Gia, you simply can;'t drop him against a side long Geelong, and his form has turned full circle since half time of the Adelaide game, the fact that he got alot of the ball yesterday, even though i was critical of some of his decision making just shows to me, that he isn't far away from getting back to his best.

I'm sure that I wouldn't drop him but for a guy that's given a lot of credit for his defensive efforts he didn't rack up a tackle yesterday. My main criticism of him though is that he often doesn't run to the areas where his team mates are moving to.

Like i have posted, i like the way he seems to be given a licence to back himself, but the decision making has to improve, gets caught out a bit too easily at this stage and can just get through and bomb the ball in hope.

Out: Murphy, hill, Addison, Picken

IN: Shaggy, higgins, Okeefe, Callan

Okeefe has to be played, he has to get reward for his effort

Why?

It's not like he has been best on ground consistently over the past month.

Out: Murphy, Everitt, Addison
In: Higgins, Hargrave, Grant

I think with Murphy gone we need another lead up target and that could be Grant. He's the sort of kid who just might thrive on the big stage against the best side in the competition.

Its funny that last year Harbrow was holding his tackles, and making quite a few of them (Barry Hall one stands in my memory)

Harbrow gives us some pace, and is proving to be quite versatile, and is gradually learning to not run around like a headless chook...we have to remember he is a junior/fringe player

Picken is needed - there will always be someone to do a job on in the Geelong side
Hill has looked our most dangerous forward in all bar 1 or 2 games this year.

I wasn't a fan of Addison's game yesterday - didn't hold his footing a couple of times, and doesn't get enough of the ball for a player who isn't playing a pure lock-down role. He seems like the type who really would gain value in finding form at Willy.

Shaggy & Higgins in for Murph & DFA - Tiller if Shaggy isn't right.
