Round 12- Selection changes

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

lol I know Panos is not ready for afl, the comment was a bit tounge in cheek. The only reason he is playing for Willi reserves is because he is a rookie listed player and if he was on our senior list they might be more inclined to play him in their firsts, which would help fastrack his development and maybe put some pressure on some guys that could have become complacent re: Hahn and Hill. He can really find the goals and at 192 and 91kgs he could be a handful in time. Sorry for taken up the space probably in the wrong thread guys.

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.

I like this team, but if we go in like this when they chuck Mitch Clark forward what do you purpose?

Does everitt get first crack so Lake can stay forward?

Or do we move Lake straight back when he goes forward?

As much as i like this team, our MC will never go this left field.

In reality the wish for Lake to play is probably just that.

In my dreamworld Everitt would be thrown down to help out.

Agree, but these are my predictions for the selection changes I would make. I really can't control or predict what the MC will do.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Good-looking team right there.
4 changes need to be the minimum, this tactic of a consistent line-up only works if you're winning.
And seeing as the players don't seem to be listening, it's time to react.

Ins and Outs are OK (although I think Hahn & Addison will be kept and Callan & Wood will miss) but positionally I don't think we are working to player strengths in that lineup

Gia to the middle - needs to be involved in the play to make the most of his ball use

Harbrow forward - needs to crumb from Hall & Lake

Murphy to defense - needs to be 100% fit and in form to play a forward role, and will be needed to fill Lake's role in defense as 3rd man up

Everitt forward - need his marking, running and kicking in Murphy's spot

Hill to the wing - gets outbodied in the forward line, we need to take advantage of his fitness further up the ground

Gilbee to defense - we will need his kicking skills to bring the ball out with Lake and Harbrow forward

Picken as forward tagger - can kick a goal and will be needed for defensive pressure in the forward line

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

Int: Minson, Wood, Moles, Reid

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

Certainly plenty of left field thinking.

However

Lake should start on Brown. Moving forward remains an option and will work better through the season if it is NOT the standard. We also need him on Franklin when we play Hawthorn. Making it an ongoing option also means that other sides cannot plan specifically for him forward.

I see no purpose in sacrificing the most successful match ups we have consistently had.

If he does go forward it needs to be to the goal square. He is more dangerous deep.

Hall showed against Collingwood that he is better suited at CHF where he has more space. He also opens up more space behind as he attracts the defenders. Barry to CHF with others working around hime should now be the normal approach.

Lake can take the pack marks in the goal square that Barry does not take.

Lake seemed to do a pretty good job at CHF against Collingwood.

I'm with Joe. Lake was seriously dangerous closer to goal.

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

B: Morris, Lake, Harbrow

HB: Gilbee, Williams, Murphy

C: Eagleton, Boyd, Cross

HF: Grant, [B]Everitt, Hahn

F: Gia, Hall, Hill

R: Hudson, Cooney, Griffen

I: Minson, Picken, Addison, Stack


Ins: Murphy, Everitt

Outs: Higgins, Moles


Murphy to be eased back in if fit through the backline.
Eagleton to stay in he has a good record against Lions.
Hahn and Stack should improve against already stretched backline.

Finally I get my wish and Everitt is CHF which IMO is where he is most dangerous

Re: Round 12- Selection changes

I have had a good think about this, our skills have been down and alot of posters want to bring in Wood, Reid & Callan? They are not renowned for being reliable kicks.

I don't think Wood is that bad a kick, and he has the ability to add a bit of dash/run the lines. With Shaggy out, I'd like to have one more rebounding option out of the back six and I'd back Wood to provide that.

I agree with this. Replacing Hahn, Stack, Addison, Moles, Eagleton with less skilled players is not a recipe for success.

Do we have anyone less skilled than Hahn or Addison?

Well, Stack can't pick the ball up and Eagleton can't kick any more...
