Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Look I'm not convinced on Moles either, he might fail too.

But all things point to Eagleton being a complete non-factor and his kicking even under no pressure has been poor, how will it be against St.Kilda?

Drop him for Jones then.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I hoped the same in last year's PF, but he had just 9 touches and was a complete non-factor. Eagleton was a much better player last year as he was a better kick, and could run quicker and for longer.

He was also terrible against St.Kilda earlier this year and was dropped from the team after this game... There is just nothing in regard to his current form that makes me think that he will have a positive influence on the result of this weeks game.

I understand that Moles probably won't do much better and his form isn't super, but he did do some very good things against the Saints in the NAB Cup GF and the little bit of extra pace he has could be vital.

It would be a brave call to make this decision, but I hope it's one they make.

I agree with this. Moles also has the ability to go into the midfield (not that that is ideal) to change things up and to give our core midfielders some respite. moles kicked some nice running goals this year as an outside mid, I think he's worth a punt.

Really think we need a target at CHF so Jones should come in. Hahn is just not up to this role as others here have stated. I am honestly not sure Jones is up for it either but he will compete in the air. Barry will be double teamed all night and having Jones up forward will make a 192+ Saints defender accountable.

INS: Moles, Jones, Morris
OUTS: Hahn, Hooper, Eagleton

I would agree with these changes, I just think the MC will make the 2 changes though.
In Morris & Jones
Out: Hooper & Addison (should be Hahn)

Geez Addison will be super stiff if this happens.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

In Morris Moles
Out Hahn Eagleton

But we all know Eade will drop hooper for Morris.

I can't believe some saying drop Addison i thought his effort and attack on the ball was fantastic.
If they all commit like Addison did, we will beat the saints.
I agree Hahn Eagleton played ok 2nd half, but
'ok' won't be good enough, Morris and Moles will do a better job.If morris doesn't come up then its got to be Jones, it really stood out that we need a tall marking target to help hall.

What about Harbrow well played!! surely we can't let him go to GC.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I agree with most here that the only in will be Morris. (Hooper out).

Yep, but as DOG GOD says there will only be one change. The MC is loathe to change, especially for a preliminary final. Morris will probably come in for Hooper.

There is no way they will drop Addison.

If he is selected (99.9% certain), perhaps we can utilise his gut-running to shadow Gram the whole match? As you've pointed out, it's not as though we are losing a telling offensive weapon next week by doing so.

He did play on Gram early last year and did a reasonable job, but it would take a huge change in application for the Bald man to play this role.

In our rd 20 clash with Geelong he was matched up on Enright for much of the first half, Nathan tried to be a ball-winner and picked up 3 possessions, Enright kept Eagleton in check and helped himself to 22 touches and was the dominant player on the ground until that point.

Fast forward to the QF and Nathan was run ragged by Ben Johnson and Steele Sidebottom and gave them no respect either.... He has never been punished for such jobs and to turn him into a defensive run with player IMO just won't work.

RE Eagle V Moles, If in doubt, go with youth. At least you might get some extra legs and desparation. Youth gave us a bit of a spark last week. Still, Eagle had a decent game and guess he won't be dropped.
Not sure about Moles. Saw a bit of the VFL game, Brodie copped a bit from Peter German at half time - not going inside enough.

[Ozza]

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Did anyone watch the VFL on TV? Brody didn't have a great game and copped a bit of a spray from Peter German.

I saw parts of the game - including German's spray. From what I saw of the game - as you say - Brodie was ordinary.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Rapt Cross got off

In: Morris
Out: Hahn

Send Bob forward. Even if they drop Hooper for Morris (which I suspect might happen but I genuinely hope not) send Bob forward anyway.

Eade doesn't rate Gram. Can kick a long way but just bombs it.

I hope we put some time into him. He almost single handlely kept St.Kilda in last years GF.

We let him run free at our peril.
