    Round 13 - Team Changes

    In: Johnno, Ward, Everitt

    Out: Williams (inj.), Moles, Hahn


    Mitch has lost touch and needs to find form at Willi. Stack and Hill still lucky to be in, but plenty of upside.

    Re: Round 13 - Team Changes

    For mine it would be;

    In: Hargrave (if fit, otherwise Everitt)
    Out: Williams (inj)

    Give Ward and Johnno the chance to play another game each at Williamstown so that they're fully fit by the time they come back into the senior team. Would've been better if Williamstown played both weekends of the split round but that's not the case.

    If Ward comes in, it should be for Moles, if Johnson comes in it should be for Stack.

        Re: Round 13 - Team Changes

        I'd really like to see Hargrave play at Williamstown for a week before coming back. (I know with the split round etc this might not be the best idea?)

        I think 2 changes this week:

        In: Ward, Johnson

        Out: Moles, Hahn

        But more likely one of Hill or Stack (or both) may find themselves out of the side.

        Eagleton drifted in and out a bit, but started fairly well and laid a few solid tackles. If he can sustain that effort he stays.
        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          In: Shaggy
          Out: Williams

          Johnson & Ward to be given an extra game at Willy. Stack & Moles must be nervous about their spots with those two coming back.

            What I want to happen;

            Out: Williams, Hahn, Stack or Hill
            In: Johnno, Everitt, Shaggy

            No need to rush Cal back in Perth..

            What I expect;

            Out: Williams, Stack/Hill
            In: Shaggy, Johnno

              I think Johhson needs another week for fitness, but they bought him back quickly early in the season, so...
              Likewise Ward -I'd love to see him in, but he's missed so much time.

              In - Hargrave (or Everitt if Shaggy's not right)
              Out - Williams

              Stack and Hill very lucky. If Johnno/Ward get up, either or both of them should go back to Willy.

                I would just make the 1 change and that would be Hargy back in for Williams (inj).

                Give Stack another go on the big ground where his pace could help. Also gives Johnno another week to get some fitness and I think we should wait on Ward for another week. He has missed 10 weeks, no need to rush him back in.

                  A week ago there was a fair old call for wholesale changes and at the moment it's back to a few nominal ones. Does one win really make that much of a change?

                    Good point. Against one of the most poorly performing teams in the comp I might add.

                      Agreed. Especially as Next week we are up against the Weagles. Need some lean mean aggression like Picken and Ward in the team. How good was Picken going toe to toe with Fev? I love that kid.

                        Re: Round 13 - Team Changes

                        Candidates to come in include:

                        Everitt, Tiller, Ward and Johnson ( I don't think Hargrave will be ready)

                        Candidates to be dropped include:

                        Williams (because of his injury), Hahn, Eagleton, Moles and Stack

                        The outs aren't necessarily based on today's performance but looking at the last few weeks.

                          Im sure Jonno will come in and God help anyone saying he can't play. Biscuits out for the week, so i think Skinny will play for Biscuits and Stack dropped for the Captain.

                          Mitch, Eagle, Hill will get another crack and the large ground will help them run into form.

                          Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                            Johnno/Ward aren't allowed to return due to fitness issues, yet Hargrave is straight back in? He's had two weeks out, and did not seem right before he had those two weeks off. Out of the three of them, I'd be more inclined to keep him out one week longer/let him play with Willy.

                            I'd like Everitt in for Williams, Ward for Moles (nothing wrong with Moles game, but he's at the bottom of the midfield pecking order) and Stack for Johnno. It's either Hahn or Stack, but Hahn plays a different role to Johnno.

                              .
                              Johnno's return is more risky given his age, Ward's because of the nature of the injury. And neither have had much game time in 2010. Shaggy's had a couple out, so unless the injury is more serious than we're aware of, put him in. Sure he's been down, but the fortnight off could be just the tonic for him. Of course, if he's doubtful (to the medical staff) at all, leave him on the shelf.
