    Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

    IN : Morris, Moles
    OUT : Hahn, Eagleton

    Whilst Moles can butcher the ball, he is a bit more inside than Eagleton, his job is done, Nathan is best for the "easier games" that allow us to use our run.

    Hahn, wtf was he doing there last night?, he looked to be in no mans land for most of the game, he was indecisive & no mobility what so ever, i fear he will be kept for his hard body in a tight game v Saints, but i just think he will get exposed big time.

    Morris in is a no brainer.

      I almost agree, but I think Jones worked hard and took a couple of fantastic marks.
      He would split the Saints defence and give Hall a one-out with Zac, and lets be honest here - if Hall doesn't kick 4 or 5 we don't have a hope.

          We need another target across CHF. Liam Jones would give us this as well as being able to put pressure on the St Kilda half back line - if we leave it to Johnno, Merlin and Mitch like last night, Gilbert, Fisher, Goddard and others will destroy us (and Baz will be triple teamed). If Roughy was fit, he would have been an option for this role too, but after watching him closely yesterday he just isn't right.

          If Morris is ok he must come in because Tom Williams will get smashed by Riewoldt - Tom hates playing on leading forwards - Goodes made him look silly last night.

          Ins: Liam Jones, Dale Morris (if fit)

          Out: In the gun depending on match ups - Mitch Hahn, Dylan Addison, Andrew Hooper, Nathan Eagleton.

          The other Bulldog players who represented Williamstown yesterday were very disappointing and really didn't do themselves any favours in terms of promotion. Brodie Moles is the only other player who may come in if the MC want another hard nut around the ball, but this is one area where we don't lack numbers.

            Like this, although i would try to keep Hooper in. Will be a lot of high balls going into our forward line. Reckon Hooper would be handy at the feet of Bazza and Jones.

              Yeah...like that's gonna happen!

              My reasoning is that we lack another forward marking option to Hall who can also place defensive pressure on the Saints' rebounding half-back. Hahn can't deliver that - Jones might. Eagleton's kicking was/is now absolutely pathetic and without this going for him, he is a liability. The gut-busting running is rarely sighted now and so without consistent penetration and accuracy in his kick, Eagleton makes way for Morris, who is an automatic selection if fit enough.

                Lakey on TSFS saying he thinks Morris has a 70% chance to come back.

                Out: Hooper
                In: Morris

                I can't see more than 1-2 changes. And unfortunately I can't see Hahn/Eagleton coming out of the side.

                  If that's the case I can't see us winning.

                    Do you honestly believe Eagleton and or Hahn will be dropped?

                    The problem is Moles did not much in the VFL, the only hope is they drop Hahn for Jones but I don't think they will.

                    They should but they won't.

                      I dont want Hooper to go out I wanna see them guns pump the air again!

                      Morris comes in and the final star will have aligned. I have been waiting for a shot at the Saints for weeks and finally I get my wish. OOHRAH THE FFC!

                        I hope the MC are brave enough to make the tough call.

                        Hahn should have had his final chance last night and didn't take it.

                          I agree Hahn was very poor in the first half but thought his second half was pretty good. Eagleton as well.

                            I think the MC are so sold on Hahn that they will look for any form of validation to keep him in. He was played well the last two times we have played the Saints, one being a prelim. That will be enough to keep him in.

                              Eagleton's field kicking was very poor, even under minimal pressure. The pressure will increase next week and I can't see it improving.

                              Hahn didn't touch it up forward and it will get no easier against St.Kilda's miserly defence, Hahn just doesn't have the pace to get seperation on the lead or to apply pressure... Stick a fork in him.

                                Morris will be having a medico check up this week to ensure his back is ok. If it is ok, he must come in.
