Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Match review findings: Hudson in the clear. Grant offered one week with early plea.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Bad news about Grant. Probably only been about the shining light this season. Should take the one week and cop it on the chin, though.

I personally think Everitt should play at CHF but it must be tempting to bring Jones in.

In Wood Callan Rose Everitt
Out Addison Stack Higgins Grant
I would put Hargrave in for Callan if fit i think we are crying out for
a crumbing forward and Rose seems a good fit

Hahn has been saved from the axe by Grant's suspension.

I've read people mention Harbrow before to solve our forward issues, and never gave the idea much thought he's been that good in the back half - but with Stack not standing up, Callan BOG for Willy and Harbrow getting soundly beaten early by Davis...maybe it's time to try again?

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Def would love to see Harbrow go forward again remeber prelim final 08 against Cats

From the reports the last couple of VFL games he has been playing there so perhaps the club now see's him long term as a forward type rather than a outside running midfielder?

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Grant will have to come back in through the Williamstown now, considering Everitt had to & form counts for nothing.

I hope that is just a throw away line.

I would have Grant in the team before Everitt purely for the roles they have been playing in the seniors.

They both should be in, i was merely pointing out the fact that if you're not an established senior player, you get no credits.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Out- Grant, Hahn, Higgins, Addison
In- Everitt, Wood, Jones, Hargrave

Eagleton should be thanking his lucky stars. Stack is extremely fortunate and in my mind simply not up to the standard but for team balance you couldnt drop that many forwards, was a toss up between Addison and Stack in the end. Jones in to stretch the relatively small Brisbane backline, Wood to provide run, Everitt back to where he should be and the calm head of Hargrave returns.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Out - Higgins, Grant

In - Everitt, Hargrave (providing his ankle comes up) if not then Wood

Dont think we should panic just yet 5 of our starting 22 didnt play and higgins was hurt early. In the end 10 points to a full strength Filth. So to swing the axe to more senior players would be a mistake, we might as well send Willi out. Yes some are down on form and effort but dropping them isn't the answer.... just yet. I think we are being hard on Addison yes he does seem to turn it over but dont underestimate concussion he has taken some big hits lately so he will get better. Hahn is third on our goalkickers and having sent him to the backline might just have woken him up so one more chance.
Not sure what is happening with our fitness? Does our fitness man have an ironman background? IMO we seem to dour and remind me of a Melb. cup horse running in a 2000 metre race were getting left flat footed at the tower!! Dont panic fellow bulldogs we are sixth with half a side.

How do we get Matty Panos on the SENIOR LIST????

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Don't believe we can keep Stack at the moment not up to senior footy just yet but will come good. Decision made for us on Grant and Higgins. Provided that no senior players come up from injury, I'd go:

Out ::: Stack, Grant, Higgins
IN ::: Everitt, Wood, Callan

Play Harbrow forward and put the acid on Hahn, Eagle and Hill

We really can't use this an excuse. On the weekend, Geelong were missing Ottens, Corey, Ling, Rooke, Scarlett and Hawkins all missing, with Pods injuring himself in the warm-up and Mooney hobbling around on his ankle all game. And they won. Sure it was 'only' West Coast at Subiaco, but they've had variations on that all season and still sit on top of the ladder.

Panos, by all accounts, is not ready for AFL and his stats at the weekend were inflated by the team's dominance in the final quarter. Not to mention he is playing in the VFL reserves.
