Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

Who are all these "Eagleton bashers" you talk of?

You keep accusing all & sundry of bashing him, but you never seem to be able to nail down the offenders.

Either pick the right people or zip it up.

Thanks for the advice Mantis, but I think I'll carry on speaking if that is okay with you.

I apologised for wrongly assuming someone hated Eagleton, if you don't mind.

As for the Eaglton bashing, take a look through the archives and you will find that many posters are highly critical of him with constant and repetitive calls for his axing. The 'offenders' names are listed above their postings and i am sure you have the detective skills to work this one out mate.

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

Agreed that we can and will improve further. But calling for four changes is ridiculous and will not happen.

Ward and Higgins are in our best 18 on any given day and if fit will both be straight in. Hill and Stack will surely make way for them.

The MC will not consider more than two changes and so the next players in line (Everitt, Williams, Moles, Reid, Addison, Roughhead) will simply have to keep playing well and hope that an opportunity comes up for them.

It was very important to make some changes last week and get a game into Johnson (especially) and Hargrave and I suspect that we will need to make a couple of more changes for the game against the Hawks.

I like TCD's suggestion of Williams (if fit enough) and Ward coming in against the Hawks and in the short term Higgins will also be added.

So you ommitted Hill and Stack only to replace them with Stack and Hill.

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

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.

We don't have to play Williams on Buddy. I would definitely play Lake on Buddy. Williams on Roughead would free up Morris to play on a smaller opponent.

If Cyril spends most of his time forward again I wouldn't mind possibly having Morris on him freeing up Picken to play as a defensive forward on Hodge. I know Gia has done well in the role but I see him as more of a clever type rather than the physical type suited to play on Hodge. It could free up Gia a bit and let him concentrate on his own game which I think is really important considering his record in big games. He could help pick up the forward line time to replace Stack and/or Hill.

Thing is Picken is probably more suited to playing on Cyril than Morris.

You obviously having watched much of Hawthorn lately as Hodge is now playing in the midfield.

Ahh yep, think I went into auto-pilot there. I haven't watched the Hawks for awhile but know he is in the midfield.

Methinks this bit clarifies it all...

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

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

We have lacked run off the half back line all year. Now through Murphy and Wood we finally have some run and you want to take it away again???

Harbrow spent some time in the middle today, he could go back again. Hargrave also looks like he is starting to find his feet. Murphy can still stay back aswell.

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

Listened to Eade's press conference and two things were really noteworthy with regards to selection.

1. Higgins, Williams and Ward will all be available for our next game
2. Grant has and Wood has 'just about' (so not 100% but close) secured a spot in the team

Additionally, Eade mentioned that Lake was very close to pulling out late with a locked up hip but should be fine after the break.

Given that, if Ward, Williams and Higgins all come in, my guess would be that Stack, Hill and Eagleton would go out.

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

Does anyone think Reid could do Hahn's bulldozer role in the forward line? Reid has a massive body!

[Desipura]

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%.

What TCD said. Williams has to come in, we need as much help curbing Franklin as we can get!

[Desipura]

Re: Round 14 - WOOF Selection Table

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.

Everitt does not play tall, has to be Williams who is a tall who can play on a small.

Yep, this is the way i would go. Eagleton just doesnt do enough of the hard stuff for me, and Hill and Stack need to go back to Willi and learn how to "go in hard". Ward and Higgins offers more in the fwd 50 than them two.

Williams is a shoe in to come back into the team, and from what i've seen so far of Wood, there is NO reason to shaft him. He is hard at it and offers more run than say an Everitt at this stage.

Aker, Everitt and Reid to filter thru when needed.

Hahn hasnt looked too bad in defense and gives the team a bit more flexability knowing that he can go back if needed.
