Ins/Outs Round 20?

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Can't believe some posters had Stack holding his spot. He was clearly worst on ground for us.

But the week before he was in our best 5 players.

He was beyond bad on the weekend, but I think he deserves the opportunity to redeem himself.

Re Easton Woods.

This may be a very simplistic view, but I don't believe any player should be dropped after one game. I think any debutant should always be given 2 games to give them a chance to adjust to the pace of the game and get over their 1st game nerves.

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Thought Wood was quite good. I liked his dash - and he put his body in some places where he knew he could have been crunched. I think he had more impact than some of our other 'run and carry' players.

Re: Stack, Our fwd set up of Addison, Stack and Aker on the full forward line didn't help any of our guys - Stack had a shocker - but its pretty hard for someone of his size and experience to be winning the ball when it comes in, in the fashion it did.

What if you have a 10 goal win and the entire team plays well and the debutant played limited game time, and you have a Robert Murphy to come in?

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Out
Stack ommitted
Eagleton (Delisted)
Hahn (?)

In
Murph if fit
Picken / Reid

Wildcards:
Roughy / Ayce (too soon?)

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

What probably will happen

In : Murphy
Out : Stack

Can't believe I forgot about Picken, please forgive me

In : Murphy, Picken
Out : Stack......ooh Eagleton sorry but I'm looking at you with Liam coming back

It will probably be Wood though

I'll re-iterate that I think Stack deserves another crack vs Brisbane, but I believe he will be dropped.

Then Murphy would come in and the debutant would go out and I'm sure there are plenty of other examples you could use to shoot my case down, but if possible, I think the debutant should be given 2 games.

Extremely soon considering Cordy played for Williamstown reserves two weeks ago and hasn't reallyhad a major impact on a match at VFL level yet.

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

It's nothing short of pathetic.

Both Eagleton and Hahn have played maybe 6 decent games between them all year. They're a liability and there's really no excuse or explanation as to why they're both still playing.

Like many i have never been an Eagleton fan, he has been shocking for 5-6weeks now and is well overdue to be dropped but give him some credit he was playing some decent footy in the first half of the season and was fully deserving of his spot in the side. Its absolute rubbish to say he and Hahn have played maybe 6 decent games between them all year.
FWIW i wanted him cut at the end of last year and i want him gone at the end of this year but his season has been nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be.

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

OUT: Eagelton, Hill, Minson, Hahn

IN: Murphy (or Roughhead/Grant if Murphy not ready), Picken, Skipper, Reid

Bulldogs Bite - you're spot on. 6 decent games between them, and even that might be overestimating.

Why??

Inconsistent.

Re: Ins/Outs Round 20?

Inconsistent.

Was one of our only forwards who looked like getting a kick even though he was matched up on Darren Glass.

I think you are way off the mark with his demotion.

Surely Everitt or Stack would be gone before Josh.

After his debut he went back to Willy and performed better than he did prior to his debut. I am hoping the same thing happens.
He's still firmly in the developing basket but regardless of age or inexperience the level of performance was terrible and we need to show him that he'll be dropped for a poor performance as much as he'll be rewarded for a good performance.

I understand the point you are trying to raise, but it really stinks of double standards when quite a few of his team-mates have played more than one bad game in a row (abit probably not as bad as Stack's latest), but their position in the team has remained safe thus far.
