Round 12- Selection changes

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

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

Has he become a midfield runner? Why do we need him on the senior list?

Just a strange comment.

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

I reckon you are pretty close to the mark with this one.

Callan would be handy down back .... instead of Addison (not sure where he could play but 4 changes are too many) Timmy would also add a defender with footy smarts and allow Lake to go forward for some time.

Everitt would be a good replacement for Grant and provides plenty of options.

Wood has been banging the door down and should be a good replacement for Stack. (I dont think we can have Stack and Hill in the same team)

A few players lucky ot still be alive ...... Mitch, Gia and Addison.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

I'm probably just about the biggest blue sky-er on this site, but it's time.

B: Callan, Morris, Everitt
HB: Gilbee, Williams, Hargrave
C: Harbrow, Boyd, Griffen
HF: Giansiracusa, Hall, Moles
F: Hill, Lake, Eagleton
R: Hudson, Picken, Cooney
I: Minson, Cross, Reid, Wood

In: Callan, Everitt, Hargrave, Reid, Wood.
Out: Higgins, Grant, Hahn, Stack, Addison.


I really wanted to drop Eagleton as well but there just wasn't anyone else to bring in and Eagleton may contribute something, the other three were giving nothing at all.

Williams gets Brown, Morris gets Fevola, Everitt gets Staker. Harbrow gives unpredicability and flair further up the ground. Lake marks it every time they try to zone off him.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

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.

And if you are an established player, you get so many credits that it's almost impossible to run out of them. Thus making them worthless.

How far away is Johnno? He would have to come straight in if he is fit!

I'd be very close to agreeing with those ins and outs. The big question will be if the selectors are willing to go with 5 changes.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Callan is better than Addison. And in fact, apart from Morris & shaggy, the only guy any sort of chance of shutting down a small forward. Should've played against the Pies. Isn't a 22 games per year player, but should play when opposition have dangerous smalls. Having said that, not sure of his match up against the Lions.

He would be perfect for shutting down Banfield.

What you said, good team and ins & outs, agree 100%

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

I thought Minson played one the best games I've seen from him. He would be adequate cover for Hudson as a no 1, and I guess if Roughy comes in he could play a 2nd tall type role assuming Grant is out & Hahn plays elsewhere as he tries to invent a new role for himself in the side.

All you Minson axe Grinders out there take note of the above quote. Big will, back in form. You beauty.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

As much as I have criticised Hahn, I'd drop Stack before Hahn. He was worse yesterday.

I think Stack should be kept on the bench and given a limited run to get his confidence up.
He has the skills, he is just a little gentle and needs to go in harder.
Tell me if I am wrong, but Josh Hill used to be similar and he has really improved his defensive tackle work.

Remember that headlock of Barry Hall's? Stack stood around like he was taking a little breather! Only for Coony to come in and Dump a guy. Haaha. Fire up Stack-man!

In modern footy with the amount of rotations teams now have you can't afford to sit a player on the bench for extended periods, it just isn't workable.

Woo hooo. 5 possessions? Or was it 6. Just hang on whilst I call the curator of the Hall of Fame.

I actually thought he was OK, but if that is the best we are going to get and qualifies as 'back in form', then he will never be more than a backup.

Will has a long way to go to become a consistent, impact player. The difference in his intensity levels from moment to moment still vary way too much.

6 Kicks, 5 handballs, 4 tackles, 12 hitouts and 3 goals.

Given he is a no 2 ruckman and spends more time forward than he does in the ruck, 3 goals is a reasonable output and I dare say for most no 2 ruckmen, resting forward, that'd be a pretty good result.

Josh Fraser was Collingwood's no 2 ruckman and he had 8 disposals, 1 tackle, 6 hitouts and 1 goal.

I think in terms of the no 2 ruckmen, this is one battle we won.

Only real problem I have is up forward. Against Brown and Fev and with Lake up forward we're looking at needing 14-15 goals to be really safe, I cant see those forwards providing that. The midfield with Cross, Boyd and Picken is quite defensive so there's not much to be gained on the scoreboard there. Unless someone bobs up with 3 or 4 and Hall and Lake both kick bags (far from guaranteed) I just don't see how we can outscore the twin towers with that lineup.
