Round 12- Selection changes

[Mantis]

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

He doesn't really.

I agree he's probably quicker than most but he doesn't run as hard and he's not as skilful by foot as a midfielder. I haven't checked any stats but I would suggest that marks still account for about 50% of his possesions.

Averaging 14.9 disposals & 5.9 marks per game - so it's about 40%.

I don't have access to stats, but I would think his kicking efficiency numbers would look ok against most of our mids.

On the weekend, from memory, he was one of only four/five players in our team to have efficiency over 80%. Admittedly, he didn't have many touches, but at least he made them count.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Thought about it long and hard, here goes:

B: Callan, Morris, Harbrow
HB: Griffen, Williams, Picken
C: Everitt, Cross, Gilbee
HF: Grant, Lake, Murphy
F: Hill, Hall, Giansiracusa
R: Hudson, Boyd, Cooney

Int: Minson, Wood, Moles, Reid

In: Callan, Wood, Everitt, Murphy, Reid
Out: Higgins (inj), Addison, Hahn, Stack, Eagleton

* Happy to use Griffen as our '3rd tall' in defence.
* Use Everitt on the wing to make use of his good marking and good kicking.
* Cross to tag Black.
* Picken on Sherman.

Don't think I've ever seen 4 omissions from the dogs.

This is a good looking line up with some minor exceptions. I like the move of Griffen to defence which would help offset the loss of Lake to the forward line. Everitt to a centre wing is also good. I am still to be convinced that Callan is a senior player. Easton Wood deserves another chance following good form with Williamstown. Murphy returning is a bonus. I would leave out both Reid and Callan at this stage. If you are going to drop Hahn then perhaps Gia should go too as both have been sadly out of form.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Reduced my ins by 2 (due to Huddo & Grant getting off)
In: Murphy, Reid, Everitt & Jones
Out: Higgins, Addison, Stack & Hahn

Murphy to play down back, Reid onball with Everitt on a wing/fwd and Jones at CHF.
This is what I want to happen.

Like it a lot although Hahn will probably stay and Wood will miss.Time to get dangerous with Lake forward

Grant getting off will make it almost impossible for Hahn to keep his spot

Have tried hard to fault this but couldn't. Would be overjoyed to see it happen although history will say that the MC will be gun-shy in making 5 changes. Mantis, hopefully you have some influence at the selection table this week

I guess we can't always get what we wish for so I will probably have to settle for 2 maybe 3 of these changes, but I guess that's better than nothing.

If Hargrave is fit which in will he replace?

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

It was reported this morning that he is unlikely so I would think they will err on the side of caution.

I'd assumed Hargrave wouldn't come up but still a good question. Matchups aside for this week I'd replace Callan's possible inclusion with Hargrave. In 2-3 weeks Moles or possibly Reid (although I hope not, vulnerable that is) will be vulnerable to Ward and then Wood again vulnerable to Higgins IF he's right. Suspect Hill vulnerable to Johnson when right. And then there's Aker ? Hopefully we will be fortunate to have such options available although history would indicate otherwise.
