Changes for Sydney-hard but fair

[Doctor Strangelove]

Dear all, it is wonderful when the Bombers have to make hard decisions!!!!!!!!

In: Watson , McVeigh , Hurley and Bellchambers

Out: Skipworth, Hocking, Slattery (or Lovett-Murray), Lucas (or Hooker)

Why: Watson and McVeigh obvious, Hurley has a body and ability, and we need a second "real" ruckman to give Paddy a chop out

Challenge: You can't have Bellchambers in without "sacrificing" a big man. Both Lucas and Hooker don't deserve to be dropped based on last night versus the Pies.

Opportunity: Get some games into Hurley and Bellchambers. If we have a glint of chance of getting in to the finals we need both up and running

Crystal Ball: Where is Scott Gumbleton ? Where is the boxing trainer Jobe had for Jay Neagle

Drop Scott Lucas? Are you completely mental? He was probably in our best three players last night.

Agree with the ins as long as Hurley and Bellchambers are 100% - we can't afford any passengers.
Outs would be Skipworth, Slattery, maybe Hooker just to give the boy a rest (nothing to do with form) and on the SCG possibly NatRat could be left out.
Wouldn't mind seeing Zaharakis back in the side (reckon he will be a gun) but with Watson and McVeigh both back there should be better depth to our midfield against Sydney.

[BenDoolan]

Drop Hocking?



f***'n hell.

Reason?

Because he's hard and tough and been playing well

[robbie67]

LOL, Hocking and Lucas. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

IN: Watson McVeigh Bellchambers

OUT: Skipworth Slattery NLM

[Windy_Hill]

You may have Monfries as an automatic out as well

[jimmyc1985]

Definitely need Bellchambers in to at least cut Ryder some slack against Jolly. We will get murdered in the hitouts against Sydney if Ryder plays like last night.

There has been some talk in the media that McVeigh will not play next week as he will be forced to come back through Bendigo. Is there any truth to this, or is it Hutchy bullshit? I was fking pissed off with what he did, but we need him back immediately.

He'll be back v Sydney. Playing for Bendigo this weekend only.

Hocking dropped ???

Lucas dropped ???

What drugs are you on Doctor Strangelove ??? Yes its a hard decision time.

In: Watson (only if 100% fit), Bellchambers

Out: Skipworth, Slattery

McVeigh ??? for NLM ???

[DC]

We all have different perspectives on games but I thought slatts was quite good last night.
skip was quiet, Hooker was quiet too. We need a real ruckman in there.

Dyson has been quiet as well.

Lucas was one of our best last night and seems to be getting better every week since hes been back. No way he gets dropped.

Watson and McVeigh and TB if ready to come in for sure.

[Ronny Rotten]

The Ins apart from Hurley, i agree with but no way should Lucas go as he is our best performed forward recently. Love to see Hurley play but on small SCG you need smaller type players, maybe the week after. McVeigh is no certainty to return as i have heard he has to play a blinder for Bendigo or Sunday to get back. Wonder if he will be going to the 1984/85 bash tonight at crown?? Knights has encouraged all players to go tonight. But i believe he will return

OUTS: NLM ( definate), Monfries (if injured), Dyson or Slattery

[F111]

We all have different perspectives on games but I thought slatts was quite good last night. He'll take Kirk?
skip was quiet, Hooker was quiet too. We need a real ruckman in there. Unfortunately Belly isn't that just yet, but Ryder needs help. Hooker has done well in filling holes, but Bolton and Henneman did filling roles and we know what happened to them. I'd be happier seeing him stay at HB.

Dyson has been quiet as well. I'd keep him in still. He has broadened his application to include some inside work this year.

Lucas was one of our best last night and seems to be getting better every week since hes been back. No way he gets dropped.Correct.

Watson and McVeigh and TB if ready to come in for sure.

Monfries out injured. NLM out for Hurley. Skippy out for McVeigh. Hocking would be stiff imo. Who gets dropped for Belly?

He'd be stiff as, but Hooker?

Although on the postage stamp sized SCG, marking targets will be important and so maybe a small... if Monfries is injured, is that the swap?

[tom9779]

too many changes, given the boys only lost the one quarter against the pies.

my view for sydney:

foolish to necessarily go in with bellchambers against the swans. unless did he have a blinder in bendigo? ryder will rebound and be right. Jolly is playing pretty well for the swans, but i think given the scg is a lot shorter and we have the days break, paddy should be able to run the game out. no point in playing bellchambers, maybe we list him as an emerg and see if the swans go in with two rucks.

NLM will be back, give him a break, will return to being one of our best, brings a hardness that we need.

Watson and McVeigh will play, we need tough hardened bodies for the swans, who will turn the game into an absolute one on one dog fight.

outs: monfries,

in: watson/mcveigh

with one of hocking/lonergan/skippy as an emerg.

we'll play licha up front to replace gus.

[BenDoolan]

In: Watson, McVeigh, Bellchambers

Out: Prismall, Dempsey, Winderlich

What has the Dr given you B.D.?

[robrulz5]

Lucas out? 13 goals in the last month since his return is better than any other forward. I think Scotty would like playing on the SCG, he could have shots on goal from the centre square.

[merc_2]

What drugs are you taking??? Lucas OUT....seriously...have you been watching the last couple of weeks...
and Hocking seriously mate.

OUT: Slattery...please drop him and NLM
IN Watson and Mc Veigh

If TB comes in, Hooker may need to be dropped..

[hillchaser]

Would like to see Houli, Myers and Hurley get a run. These guys are our future ! We have to get some games into them and based on their recent performances they deserve it.

Possible outs, Dyson, Licha (looks very tired) , Monfries inured

Winderlich was one of our best on Friday night. He'll play.
