Can you only drop the players that are named on the interchange bench?
If so, the fact that Lockyer and O'Bree aren't even considered for ommission is very concerning.
How many bad performances does a player need to have before they get dropped?..... it seems it's different amounts for different players.
I seriously hope Egan, King and Fanning play. With the way most of the senior guys are playing, these youngsters might even feature in our best like Davies last week and C3 in his first game....I guess that says it all!!!!
slangman i think with the thursday teams you can drop anyone, johnson, presti and cam cloke were all named last week but didnt play. But dont worry, they wont be ommitted, mick loves them. Cant believe Lonie, Cloke and Rusling cant even make it onto an extended bench at the moment.
Jonno thanks for the news on davidson, i thought he was still unable to play. How does Fanning get in?
There's more to life than footy.........just not much more.
That's just f&*kin great isn't it.After sunday we were prmised change. And as far as i can tell we ain't got any of it. we were told senior blokes would pay for the loss, well the only bloke that has paid is a bloke who should never have been put on pavlich - again why didn't clement get sent to him! Wakes played on him to and got done - what happens to him. Obree, Lica, Burns, Morrison, Holland all got toweled in the midfield - they don't pay either. I mean every bloke on this site could see we had no midfield pressure. TThat's why we got hammered ....... they're the blokes that need to axed.
I mean Yakka, Maxwell and C2 will get spots for sure. So after the worst loss I have seen since the Hawks floggings of the 80's that leaves one young bloke we've brought in who hasn't been tested yet. And to be honest on the make of the side they will probably have to play Fanning if it is dry to counter Knobel, Simmonds and Stafford(?). So that means no new changes as Fanning has already been tried this year.
Its just outrageous that we play the same blokes who fail to do the job time and again. This is really disappointing. MM - you do this everytime - you cannot make the hard calls or carry thru.
I hate being negative I really do - but this just leaves me bewildered........ again!
Ok, well theres nothing we can do about it now, who do you guys think will be dropped from the 7 man bench.
Theres no way that Maxwell, C. Cloke and Fanning will all play, the bench is huge. So that means atleast 2 of Egan, Swan, King and Iaccobucci will play. Yakka's been promising so you would have to say he's a certain starter although nothing is certain anymore. Maxwell has been good and without j clo is the only backline backup. So that to me leaves a choice between Cloke and Fanning and a choice between Egan, Swan and King
My bench would be Fanning, Maxwell, Yakka and Egan. Cam, Swan and King to miss. Obviusly mick has given Walker the nod of Cam and Trav is definately a better prospect, i juts dont see a spot for C2. I would much prefer Fanning who is s future prospect in the ruck to have a go. Cam is not a ruckman of the future. Fanning is. Play Fanning and make the choice between Walker and Cam, I dont want both in the team as neither has proved themself this year. Walker played a good game agaisnt freo in the end.
Midfield looks shocking.
Rowe, Obree, Lockyer.
Backline really strong with johnson and presti back. Dont mind shaw back there and love not seeing cole there actually.
Rucks are a worry with Davies and walker starting there. Agree with Holland forwad although doubt thats where he'll play.
I think id like to see Yakka on in the middle to be honest. Forward line is not bad. Hope Didak can play center and Tarrant looks fit enough to go into the center a bit. Our midfield is going to cop a belting again unfortunately.
There's more to life than footy.........just not much more.
i've got money on williams or brayden shaw playing before his cousin heath and rusling does. mm is keeping the kids out for some reason don't know why but just won't play anyone that is playing well. if thats the case then egan and swan won't play. and players like fanning who is oviously got no clue whats going on gets a game. and i'm not even going to comment on o'bree. and as for lock, dude your great, but god you must be wondering why the hell you are still donning the black and white.
And to add a bit, i am over it, how the hell can Davies be a follower, FFS he has played 1 game, and I thought a great game why put so much pressure on the kid he was stuffed last week at half time, I don't understand what is going on we stuff up the whole season and poor old C1 who plays on G Train and Pavlich is the big bad boy, yet O'Bree sure he has done a bit but so what he should be doing 5 times as much and I love Lockyer so i am not going to go there yet
Three words skill skill skill not there if the team plays as positioned. As far as I am concerned congratulations to the backs cause the midfield isn't going to help you and you will be exhaustered by the end
wot does the guy have to do to get a game in the seniors.
