What Changes Round 7

[Bornadog]

We know Murphy has a Hammy and could be out for up to three weeks.

Out: Murphy, Power - has been very dissapointing last two weeks and needs to do more.
In: Hahn, Faulkner

Hahn and Faulkner would be two very good inclusions I feel.

Re: What Changes Round 7

Out - Murphy, eagleton, power
IN - hahn, Harbrow, Robbins

Murhpy obviously due to injury, Eagle has been terrible with his disposal, Sammy just doesn't do enough

Hahn hopefully is fit enough, adds strength something we are lacking
Harbrow, has more tricks to his game than power
Robbins, should not have been dropped in the first place

Looks like Teds Robot is very close to the mark

Hahn back in the mix
08 May 2007 Herald-Sun

THE Western Bulldogs' forgotten knee victim, Mitch Hahn, is on the brink of returning to senior football.

Hahn has quietly returned through Werribee in the past month as teammates Luke Darcy and Robert Murphy have stolen the attention for their comebacks from knee reconstructions.
"Mitch is in the frame, particularly now Robert Murphy is out," Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade said last night.
"He has played four weeks at Werribee and has improved with every week. His game on the weekend was his best."
Hahn suffered a season-ending knee injury in Round 12 at the Gabba last year.
Hahn was an integral part of the Dogs' surge in 2005-2006.
Exciting small forward Jarrod Harbrow is also in the mix for a return against Melbourne at Telstra Dome on Sunday.
Murphy is likely to miss three weeks with a hamstring strain.

Re: What Changes Round 7

i agree, i'd definately say hahn and harbrow in this week,
murphy and probably power out.

I thought power didn't do enough and he still doesn't back himself when he gets the ball, he just wants to get rid of it.

I think coming up against melbourne this week will be a good opportunity to bring in harbrow, he's been in good form and has shown with his performances that he wants to play afl footy asap.

I'd like to see faulkner get in but he didn't play last week as he flew to perth with the team but didn't play for the bee's or the dogs. I can't see them dropping eagleton even though i don't rate him, and unless they drop addison then he probably will miss again.

Re: What Changes Round 7

Murphy out - Baird in.
Power out - Hahn in.
Addison out - Harbrow in.

Morris takes Davey
Harris takes Nietz.
Shaggy takes Miller.

I am not exactly sure where Wight will play at the moment. With Minson and Darcy both in, if they cant find him a match-up he might be a surprise out.

Baird plays Murphy's lead up role with Hahn getting in behind him in the way that Power did successfully a couple of times earlier in the year.

Harbrow to play permanently (deep) forward.

How has Baird been going in the Bees?

Reasonable.

Re: What Changes Round 7

Reasonable.

I wouldn't think he has been any better than that either.

Thanks.

What role have they been playing him in?

Re: What Changes Round 7

Thanks.

What role have they been playing him in?

I've only seen the Preston game and he played in the backline and was fairly ordinary.

From this week's Atkins report:
"Travis Baird : showed some fight to come back after a bad start, got himself into the game" - doesn't exactly inspire me.

Daniher sometimes pushes one of White/Jamar/Johnson forward. That would be Wight's opponent.

Re: What Changes Round 7

I have seen DVD's of 3 of the games so far. He has played a mix of forward and back and has been 'OK'. Not great, but not terrible. Given that he seems to play his best when he can actually lead for the ball - and Werribee have basically not had the ball for 90% of the season - I am not all that worried about Atkins comment from last week.

To me either Doogs or Baird should come in for Murphy...

I was really impressed with Baird last year, he gave us something up forward and kicked his couple of goals. Not sure if he has some speed and what size he is ie not height but bulk. If he has been playing well at the Bees then I would like him to come in for Power.

I was also impressed with what he did last year. Thought he showed quite a bit as a leading forward.
