Ins & Outs - R15

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

By the way my mate who was helping out at the train with the team day said Higgins got knocked out, so I wonder how he will pull up.

Should have kicked that goal

Mantis re: Tag on Gibbs, hasn't Gibbs been playing more of a roving role across HB for the last few games for Carlton, similar to what Coooney has been playing. I haven't noticed a great deal of drive from both players (from the Blues matches i've seen).

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

I'd be inclined to look at our better ball users when the MC meet, so DFA/Callan/Addison probably aren't the guys I'd be looking to promote.

That would leave.....

Only ones left would be Moles & Eagleton.

Yeah he has mainly been playing across HB, but I would think he will move into the midfield this week.

If he plays in defence I would be using Gia to shut him down.

Don't disagree...but who else is there?

I just think we need at least one small defender 'spare' this week...we need an extra we can throw at one of them if they start getting away from us.

Hargrave could move onto one of these 3 if needed couldn't he?

It wont happen, but i can think of one small user of the ball, who has funny hair and talks too much, who's got experience in that position.

Would be a good challenge to prove his worth to teammates and the club.

I guess, but we don't seem to be using him in that role this year (or last for that matter) so I am not sure the mc would agree. Seem to be focused on freeing up Shaggy to play as a pseudo wingman/running hb.

We do, but when the oppositions strength is its mid to small forwards we need all hands on deck, that includes Hargrave.

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

Eade has said a number of times in the past few weeks it isn't workrate that is killing us, it's decision making and skill (it's clearly down on last year).

I'd be inclined to look at our better ball users when the MC meet, so DFA/Callan/Addison probably aren't the guys I'd be looking to promote.

I thought DFA was Addison? Don't tell me there's two DFAs!!

Everitt is one I was thinking of - if Roughy comes into the side, his work resting forward will split their tall defenders to give Hall more chance of getting the ball one out, which I thought was Hahn's job pre-season.

I know the club have queries over Everitt's pace, but his ball use is top notch. Eagle is another who uses the ball well.
I don't rate Moles' use under pressure and for mine he is an inside mid back-up option.

I would think if Morris doesn't start on a small, he will be there for plan B. Picken can go back if need be too.

But he was already in!

Sorry, didn't realise you were talking about the theoretical ins from higher up - thought this was in general.

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

In: Everitt, Roughead, Hill
Out: Reid, Minson (both injured), Hahn


* Gilbee to Betts, Harbrow to Garlett & Wood to Yarran.
.

Gilbee and Harbrow on two very very dangerous forwards like Betts and Garlett worry me a lot. Especially Harbrow on Garlett.

My concern is Harbrow is the player most likely to run and bounce his way out of defence but he is also only a 50/50 chance of hitting a target. If he turns it over Garlett will be used on the way back through and most likely hurt us on the score board.

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

* Picken to shut out Kade Simpson who is already sleeping in the Carlton change room.

He room-mates with Lenny Hayes and Luke Hodge.

Re: Ins & Outs - R15

I don't mind this. With Kreuzer out I would tell Hudson to suck it up, use Everitt to give him 2 x 2 min spells each quarter and player an extra runner in place of Roughead.
.

I like this idea.

Then the week after I'd look to rest Hudson as its a trip to Darwin and bring him back for the game against Fremantle.
