Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

In - Morris
Out - Hahn

Eagleton or Moles is a marginal call - the incumbent probably did enough in the 2nd half last night to win that selection battle. If we wanted to sacrifice a small for a tall, I'd consider Jones for Hooper.

Hahn was so dreadful last night if doesn't bear thinking how the Saints will exploit him next week.

Hahn is like the gimp in Pulp Fiction, everyone goes through him and exploits the hell out of him...

Goddard feasts on us in a big way! Must be stopped ,possibly Addison mat be assigned to that role.Thought DFA was good last night.
For mine in. Morris out . Hahn (To use the words of the immortal Jack Dyer "He's where the ball ain't")

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Not easy this week. I'd drop Hahn and bring in Morris definitely.

Thought Addison had a great 1st quarter and really banged in hard for 4 quarters. There was a passage of play on the wing in the last (I think) and Addison just went and went and went - 3 or 4 really good efforts that resulted in the footy going over the boundary - Swans would've had an easy take away if not for that.

His disposal can't be dicey - but it can be good too. He brings a lot to the table with his intensity which is something we need in spades against the Saints.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

Out of all the alternatives, Hahn is going to be more value in a final. The under-performing Moles, Everitt and Jones would be chewed up by the Saints.

Out: Hooper
In: Morris

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I'm really surprised at all the calls for Addison to be dropped. I definitely don't have a history of being an Addison fan - but have thought he has gone ok in the finals and he could play another important defensive role.

Morris for Hahn is glaringly obvious...

Interested in people's thoughts on Hooper. He gave us a spark with the goal he kicked, but in reality he had 5 kicks and probably one other notable effort where he dived on the ball and Hall and Gia got involved for a goal. I'm not against him playing again - I like the kid. But Jones may be more suited this week - as St.Kilda will drop numbers back and if Jones can take a contested mark or two for the game it could be a huge bonus.

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I would keep Addison in - he seems to play better when given a task, and I'd be happy to see him get a crack on Goddard. He actually bobs up for the odd goal which makes Goddard a little more accountable.

I would also keep Grant in - I keep the faith in is hands, and think he might have found a little more in the second half, really seemed to benefit from Murphy playing forward.
I would have Jones in for Hahn - Jones splits the tall defenders away from Hall (Hall vs Zac one out is a win for us) and can take a grab. His defensive pressure is much better and was the only Bulldogs-listed player at Willy that pushed his case for selection.

The other out is tough - I'd love to keep Hooper in (especially whilst Minno rests forward), but Morris is more important and I don't want to scarifice a runner. Ideally Hooper would stay in & Gia would play more midfield, but somone needs to make way for Morris. I'd keep Eagle in because his run will be important, and I don't think Moles did enough to justify selection with his Willy effort.

Out: Hahn, Hooper (sadly)
In: Jones, Morris

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I also thought that Addison proved his worth against the Swans. He is as tough as we have and his contests are second to none - we will need him to be going full pelt against the saints and i agree that he would be a prime candidate to line up on Goddard.

His contest against Kirk was fantastic and was a real turning point for us.

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.

Yes the Eagle has proved time and time again that he never gets a kick against the good sides but they wont drop him because the alternative Moles hasnt proved himself yet. If we had a full team he wouldnt get a game but this week he will

I'm not convinced by Moles' form though. His disposal under pressure is not great and given he had a chance to push for senior selection, I'm not sure he did enough on the weekend. Would be great if we had another runner we could consider, I just don't think we do.

[LostDoggy]

Re: Preliminary Final - WOOF Selection Table

I dont think Moles should be brought in and I definitely don't think we should drop Grant, that would be bad, we need to show confidence in him because if he gets a whiff against the Saints he could make a big difference. Most of our goals against the saints seem to come when we have the ball coming over the top of the defenders and someone quick running on to it.

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?
