Minson's heavy workload?

Re: Minson's heavy workload?

He did this well, albeit at VFL level, a round back.

Cordy got given a go after clunking a few at vfl level, still struggled at afl level, I'd be happy for Campbell to be given a go though.

Two words: Ayce Cordy.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. I feel I'm the only one who would play him again. Get him out of the square once in while and get him to do some ruck work. He's hardly done any of it in the games he's played this year.

Re: Minson's heavy workload?

I have now considered the issue. Here is the response:

It is preferable that Minson is run into the ground than Cordy or Campbell run onto the ground.

Agree, as Sedat said hate to see Campbell an Minson in the same team.

Re: Minson's heavy workload?

Not sure why some people are so against both Will and Cambbell playing in the same team. What is there to lose? It's not as if there is a spot in the finals at stake. Can anyone tell me what the downside is of giving Campbell some further senior experience whilst giving Will a well earned chop-out?

Re: Minson's heavy workload?

I found it interesting that there were article about Goldstein and how stuffed he was this week and nothing about Minno. I thought to myself surely he is stuffed too.

I'd be happy to give him a rest.

Run and spread by sacrificing another runner - it's been an issue we have been poor in this year.

Campbell will have to spend 70-80% forward if he plays and he hasn't looked remotely threatoning forward at senior level. Last game he played forward people were screaming for whipping boy Cordy to come back.

Re: Minson's heavy workload?

Cox and Naitanui would have almost licked their lips right off their face by now, but I agree with giving Minson a rest. We're going to be gifting them first use of the ball, so replace Minson with Campbell rucking number one, Jones for backup, and just see how we go. If we get smashed, ah well, we gave it a shot. Will's only human, and I'd be more interested in seeing him up against Sydney next week, which is our last real chance to see how the boys go up against another genuine team. We've done OK when the challenge is really high this year, so Sydney for mine is the game out of the next 6 that we need to focus on, as when it comes time at the end of the year to divvy up who stays and who goes, Round 19 is going to give more insight than Round 18.

Dicko needs a break for a couple of weeks to find form. What is Dicko giving that Campbell won't? Nothing. And as others have suggested Campbell gives Minno a chop-out so he provides both team balance and a skill set that Dicko doesn't have.

Over the next few week I would reverse the time in the ruck with Minno spending 70-80% forward.

Interesting idea - Cempbell is defniately more suited to the no 1 ruck role.

Minson hasn't set the world on fire as a forward in recent times but if Gia & the quicks are played near him he should have the nous to direct the ball to ground to our advantage.

Not a long term option but worth consideration as a triall.

I know what we're sacrificing....my question is "why does it really matter"? Where is the greater benefit...maintaining the ideal structure or getting game time into a bloke we hope will be our future ruckman whilst giving Will more of a breather?

I doubt that this will set the world on fire but I think we'll try it again anyway - maybe even this week given Campbell is doing ok at Willi.

I thought rather than giving Will a total break we could rest him forward and he may take the bigger defender which will help Jones. Even though Will has hands of cement he may clunk the odd one or two but more importantly he can palm to the smaller forwards.

We get to see how Tom goes as the number one ruck and give Will a break at the same time.
