Round 8: Changes vs Adelaide

[Jakksynn]

My changes without overthinking it

Butters, S Gray, Bonner

Trengove, Motlop, Farrell.

S Gray goes missing against good sides time and time again and I am furious. The kind of player who I don’t even cheer when he kicks a goal I just go “ah **** Ken will justify his selection” meanwhile ignoring the fact that he can’t kick 40m, AFL defenders just swat him away like he’s nothing and is just an all round liability

 

[NoddyHolder]

2nd week in a row Ebert's had a big knock to the head. Give him a rest. They've been trying to play him as a key forward. Bring in Billy to do it properly

 

[RossFC]

Pending Maggies game*

I'd hope Frampton, Garner and Farrell put their hand up tomorrow.

Pending Maggies game*

Safe to say they'd just get ignored. Thats whats been happening for years, little to no accountability to those in the AFL side, nor rewards for those in the SANFL side.

 

[Macca19]

Garner > DBJ
Motlop > Butters
Atley > Drew

 

[woffy]

These should be considered:

Frampton for Ebert (taken a few knocks & he's just not a 3rd tall forward)
Farrell for Butters (needs a rest)
Motlop for Gray (has never been a small forward)
Garner for DBJ (is a hopeless 1 on 1 defender)
Jonas for Bonner (see DBJ)
Atley for Rockliff (unbeleiveably slow)
Trengove for Wines (see Rockliff with less skill)

May see 1 or 2 changes only; and watch Drew get dropped!

 

[x_les_x]

Id like to see Garner in. Has a ruthless edge to his game a nice kick, pace and great defensive positioning

 

[TeeKray]

Bonner has to go. Don't care for who.

I'd probably have Lienert make way too.

Good opportunity for a number of players to put their hand up tomorrow.

 

[Jakksynn]

Garner > DBJ
Motlop > Butters
Atley > Drew

Harsh on Drew Macca, I thought he was more than serviceable all night. Not sure what his role in the side is however and I don’t think he does either.

 

[Tredrea_Wanganeen_Gray]

Drew seems to be one of our only mids who knows how to defend and block. Shows with his tackle numbers too.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Harsh on Drew Macca, I thought he was more than serviceable all night. Not sure what his role in the side is however and I don’t think he does either.

Yep. However dropping him for Atley (or Trengove) doesn't help.

Mayes should be the one to come in for Drew. Hasn't put a foot wrong at SANFL level, and fits our structure better than Drew does while we have all of Boak, Rockliff, Wines and SPP all in the side.

 

[ozph1870]

Garner > DBJ
Motlop > Butters
Atley > Drew

Drew didn't get much of it but did alot of work that might have gone unnoticed at first glance. He is one of a few who can say they put in in the early stages when it was falling apart.

Yep I wouldn't mind seeing Mayes in.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Pudney for Bonner?

 

[Sleezy]

Wines -> Motlop
Rectifies the inside/outside balance problem we've had since R3

Bonner -> Jonas
DBJ -> Garner
Shores up the defence

Ebert -> Frampton
Evo needs a concussion break, and Marshall needs some support

Butters -> Mayes/Farrell
Kid needs a rest

FB: Garner Clurey Jonas
HB: Burton Howard Houston
Int: Lienert

C: Duursma Rockliff Amon
R: Lycett Boak Motlop
Int: SPP Drew

HF: Rozee Frampton S Gray
FF: Marshall Ryder Mayes/Farrell
Int: Westhoff

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ins - skilled players who can kick the ball, catch the ball cleanly, handball the ball, not fumble the ball, and know when to, and how to, throw it in packs that aren't caught by the umpires.

Outs - the fumblers, the bumblers and the stumblers.

 

[Willsy10]

Out - Westhoff (Forever)

In - the best available state league full forward in the mid season draft

Are you flipping high?
Westhoff was our best player by a long way tonight.

Drew, DBJ, Bonner and butters most under the pump

I thought when we hit them hard in the second quarter they were the fumbler, bumblers but we didn't sustain it long enough like a hardened team.

True but that's 2 weeks in a row where we for too much of the game we fumbled, bumbled and stumbled. last week it meant we didn't kill off North - the bottom side. This week it meant we got killed.

 

[tribey]

I’d rather have Drew learning at the coalface than Rockliff.

What a bizarre position the list and salary table is in.

 

[davo999]

I’d be going out Bonner ( not enough composure) try a Garner
Use Marshall as the third tall and give a Bill a go especially if he kicks goals again on he weekend .
Out Wines until he gets some touch . Drew and Sam Pep are both better in his spot at the moment .
I’d be leaving Drew in because Rocky looks very slow in a fast game and he’s a long term option , not saying drop a Rocky but he’s not the future .

 

[Saltiga]

Making too many changes at once will cause more problems than it solves. Calm rational decisions need to be made, not over reactions.

This time last year collingwood were something like 2-4, had heaps of injuries and looked cooked.

With Dixon injured, Marshall is taking their best defender. He needs a couple more years before he'll be ready for that. In the meantime he needs more afl games into him.

The season is a marathon and there's going to be poor games.

Ins: Frampton, Jonas, motlop

Out: Bonner, butters, Ebert (concussion)

 

[ROBBBO]

2nd week in a row Ebert's had a big knock to the head. Give him a rest. They've been trying to play him as a key forward. Bring in Billy to do it properly

Sounds good but problem is Ebert rotates thru the midfield too.
I'm not against Butters for Farrell, think Bonner will be dropped too, offering very little run lately and soft defending, but yes what you saw tonight was our defence put under serious pressure, was interesting to see who stood up

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

I love butters more than anyone (hence the display photo) but it’s time, he is a player of the future. Unfortunately atm he is out of form.

Out: Drew, Buttters, Bonner
In: Trengove, Farrell, Mayes
