Round 12- Selection changes

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

If Hudson gets weeks for tackling someone, the AFL is a bigger joke than I thought. No case to answer, IMO. Hahn and Eagle were ordinary, but history tells me they won't be dropped. I'd be looking to swing the axe at Addison and Stack.

Maybe IN Everitt and Wood
OUT Addison and Stack.

Not sure Murph will be seen next week, Higgins to miss a couple, Grant may get rubbed out. ....

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Possible suspensions aside the two weakest links in this team are again Addison and Stack to be replaced with Everitt and Wood. Gia is bludging as his Higgins although his ankle injury saved him from further condemnation. Gia's first three quarters tonight were about as bad as it gets and wouldn't mind seeing him getting dropped for Hargrave's return to send a message that should've been sent long ago to the senior members of the team.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Rocco covered alot of it.
Grant's likely suspension is a worry, Higgins looks like he'll miss, and we had a few passengers today.

Stack out - last week was poor, this week was poor with weak endeavour as well, twice glaringly.
Eagleton did some reasonable work and probably stays in given the injury/suspension.
Addison will be saved by Reid needing match fitness.

Out: Stack, Higgins(inj.), Grant(susp.)
In: Everitt, Wood, Jones/Callan

Not sure on the last in. Jones could come in and play a Grant type role, Tim Callan was BOG by all accounts but he might exacerbate our disposal problems if Cooney & Griffen cop heavy tags.

If Tim Callan gets a game we are well and truly stuffed

He played well today and took the game on with some positive runs. It might be a surprise selection but hardly the time to wave the white flag.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

It isn't always a popular call, and is sometimes a stupid call but I think Gia needs to be dropped. Test the guys mettle a bit and say 'if you are a leader of this club, you need to perform.'

He's in poor form but I wonder who else could replace him

As opposed to the pillars of brilliance that are Hahn and Eagleton. Hahn didn't even have physical presence today, I think that makes him zero dimensional now.

In Hahn's defense, it's hard to have a physical presence when your nowhere near anybody to be physical with.

Yeah that's been my issue with Hahn for awhile. Most fans love his physical presence when the ball is in his immediate area but he struggles greatly to get to those areas.

He was too easily knocked off the ball in a few contests today.

I've not seen much of Willy, what are the likes of Reid, Wood etc doing? IS there someone of that ilk that we could ask to play on a flank with a real focus on keeping the ball in? I'd sacrifice the scoring option of Gia for a bit of a "role players" right now, just to ask the question of Daniel and to give a young bloke a chance.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Where do you start?

Higgins was ushered down the race at 3/4 time so obviously isn't right.

Hahn = horrible.

Up to 5 more have every right to be dropped, they being Addison, Eagleton, Stack, Hill & Gia (has had 4 poor games in a row)

Our season is at the cross-roads.... Which track to we take from here?

I thought his negating effort on Heath Shaw was much better than anyone has been able to do for our team on him for a while.

I know we got bugger all out of him going forward, but it was also nice to have the clamps put on Shaw for a change.

Eagleton was a surprise to many when he was selected, unfortunately he failed to justify the faith shown in him by the match committee. Personally, I think if he's dropped again, I'd be telling him that he's a Willy player for the rest of the year.

Mitch Hahn looked like he was in a 45 year old man's body today; slow, fumbled, no second efforts.

Addison looks at times like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

I still feel we need more run, so at first guess I thought I'd drop Eagleton, Stack, Hahn & Addison. Grant to miss through suspension & Higgins to rest.

Unfortunately, there aren't 6 I can see being promoted, so I'd only make 4 changes with Grant (susp) & Higgins (inj) to miss along with Eagleton & Addison (both dropped). Stack & Hahn to get a reprieve.

In would be Everitt, Wood, Hargrave & Callan.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

In Wood Everitt Johnson (please stop giving us this two to Three weeks tripe)Murphy

Out Grant (think he'll go)Hahn(just to far off the pace) Stack (poor decision maker and just not hard enough) Addison (has a crack but his turnovers and fumbles are not acceptable for an elite footballer)Higgins Inj
and poor form. Oh crap I forgot Ryan Hargrave in

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Not 100 % sure but I think he hit Reid in the throat and the Fox said he was coughing up blood, but it didn't look like it. More just winded from the hit in the windpipe.

It was more high chest region than throat, but it didn't look good and is likely looking at a brief break.

Was this early in the game?
