Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

[Guest]

Great to go into the break on the back of a couple of big wins.

The break comes at a good time to freshen up and we look set to have close to a full list to choose from in the coming weeks.

I expect Higgins and Ward to come in for Round 14 against the Hawks.

This will put the spotlight on Hill and Stack who need to go back and work on their intesity and defensive pressure.

Expect Moles, Williams, Everitt...AND Akermanis to be the others who will come into contention in the next month...

The side to beat Hawthorn:

B:Harbrow Morris Hargreave
HB:Gilbee Lake Murphy
C:Griffen Boyd Ward
HF:Giansiracusa Grant Higgins
F:Johnson Hall Hahn
Foll:Hudson Cross Cooney
Int:Picken Minson Eagleton Wood
Emerg: Everitt Hill Callan

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

At an early stage;

OUT: Hill, Stack
IN: Ward, Reid

Hill has been extremely disappointing lately and was dreadful today. Stack kicked a couple of goals but has no physical presence and against the better sides, he becomes a liability. He's got a few games under his belt which is good - but it's time go back. Ward and Reid have had a few weeks at Williamstown and both have done pretty well.

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

I'm not convinced Higgins will be ready in 2 weeks time.

For me.

Out Stack, Hill
In: Ward, Everitt.

Giansiracusa speaking on radio after the game is hopeful that Higgo will be back. So am I.

Aside from your hatred of Eagleton, how would you justify Hill retaining his place ahead of the bald one?

I have never hated Eagle, I think you have me mixed up with another poster

I don't think Hill did enough, but I can't see any one replacing him, unless Higgins is ready.

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

I think Williams has to come back against Hawthorn, along with Ward.

Hill & Stack to make way.

If Higgins is fit he plays. Eagleton to miss, but I wouldn't play Higgins unless he was 100%.

Good call, if it's anything like the last time it will be another bruiser and will need everyone to be 100%.

Haha, yep, everyone on here seems to have it in for Eagleton, so I assumed you were another Bald Basher.

Still, my question stands though bornadog - What is your rationale in retaining Hill ahead of Eagleton? Surely on the past two perfomances, Hill cannon hold his place?

What did Eagleton do that was so wrong today? I thought he was very servicable.

Out: Hill,Stack,Eagleton,wood?
In: Higgins,Ward,Williams,Aker

Might have to trade everitt at the end of the year because otherwise he would leave because he cant get in the team

I know that Williams had a good match against Buddy once upon a time, but in current form Buddy might just rip Williams apart. I say put Lake on Buddy - two stars in fine form - it would be an awesome match up and great to watch.

Williams not in the top 22 for mine (and perhaps not fit). If we need another tall mobile option, I'd have Everitt ahead of him.

Why would you drop Wood? He played 2 solid games and did some nice thing from the back line. I think and hope he will keep his spot.

IMO Eagleton did just enough for the MC to retain him in the team

Four changes to a side that has won its past two matches by 10 goals?!? Owch.

Firstly, Aker is returning through Williamstown and it won't be for another match or so.

Secondly, Wood was very assured seems a composed player. We need to expose him to tough matches like Hawthorn, as he could be an extra string to our bow if required in September. The kid can play.

And, another call for Eagleton's head? Whoa, give the bloke a break!...

Buddy is playing more through the middle at the moment and Lake wouldn't be able to keep up with him(endurance wise not speed). With Williams back in the side it allows Lake to zone off when Buddy leaves the forward line and Tom can then go with him, well that's what I would do anyway.
