anyone to come in for saints game?
Hopefully lovey.
Surely T-Bell or Hooker for relief for Paddy. Surely he cant take on both Gardiner and King alone. He didnt even ruck alone against Brissy. We cant have NLM rucking against eithet o those 2 either.
Who would be dropped though??
Alot guys who came in really showed something like Quin, Atkinson and Houli.
But I would take out quin for Lovey.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Lovey would be straight back in.
Daniher kicked 5 for Bendigo, and Jetta was in the best again. Looks like they may go with Natrat as backup ruckman again. Could go either way, he will be much better around the ground, but we will struggle with hitouts. Need to rove to the opposition when he is in the ruck. TBell would be a consideration again. Don't know if Welsh is right, but he should not be an automatic inclusion.
Hard to drop anyone. I think the worst performed player has actually been Davey. He is good without the ball, but has been fumbling and running over it for the last month or so.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Will be interesting to see what we do with our forward line this week. Hurley and Neagle looked good up there. Daniher kicked 5 last weekend, and Lloyd and Lucas mustn't be far off, although form wouldn't make either an automatic inclusion.
I don't want to see Welsh come straight back in. We have looked a lot better when we have played fully fit players, as our game plan demands it. We cannot afford to carry a few blokes who are not good to run out the game, especially against the saints.
Davey is another that would have to be looked at in my opinion. Hasn't been doing much lately, and maybe it's time for Jetta to get another crack after getting in the best a lot in the twos.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
I reckon this week's game could well be decided at the selection table.
If we pick half-fit players,under-done players and older players purely on reputation (as we have done a few times recently) then we have no hope whatsoever. On the other hand, if we stick with young, fit, enthusiastic types, we'll get plenty of errors and clangers but also plenty of fight and run and maybe an outside chance of knocking off the Saints.
Therefore, I would prefer to see no Lloyd, no Lucas, no Welsh. Sorry to say it, but we looked much better without them last week. I would bring in Lovett if and only if he is 100% fit and drop Davey, who seems to have a chronic case of the fumbles recently.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
I dont think we will make too many changes this week.
Lovett in for Quinn
Jetta in for Davey (Leroy is in much better form at the moment and needs to be given another chance)
I would be tempted to bring in TB purely because i cant see Ryder doing well against both King and Gardiner. He already looks exhausted.
Lloyd, Lucas and Welsh wont play.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Just heard the Energiser Bunny on the radio.
In's will be Lovett and Welsh - possibly Bellchambers
Lloyd and Licha at least another week away

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Don't see how they would bring Jetta in for Davey.
Davey has been playing forward, Jetta is being usedin a new role in the backline for Bendigo.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Lovett for Quinn
Bellchambers for Hurley (Unfortunately...not on form but necessity)
Welsh for Stanton...IMO (Stants needs a week in the 2's just to give him a rev up)

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
I would be reticent to drop young Quinn who tried his darndest and kicked a crucial pressure goal when Davey seems to have lost all form and confidence. I love Froggie as much as the next person but to be perfectly honest he has not been a shadow of himself since he has come back for the knee.
What I cant work out is how he keeps finding himself as the marking target on the full forward line and the team kick it to him albeit over his head to then see the ball punched away by any defender (as they all have a height advantage). If this is some kind of deliberate tactic it must be stopped immediately. I dont want to see him fly for a mark again - he just needs to be front and square of the likes of Neagle etc to swoop on the crumbs and goal that way.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Lovett and Wlesh likely to come in.
I'd also like to see Jetta get another game, perhaps for Monfries. Named in the best for Bendigo and this: "Leroy Jetta was in fantastic form gathering 11-possessions and applying several good tackles. He looked dangerous from the start of the day and warranted plenty of attention from the opposition."
Interesting that 11 possessions gets him in the best, but he has been good recently and the tackling is important.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
In - Bellchambers, Lovett ... potentially Hooker.
Out - Quinn (didn't play bad - but crunch game for a player on a steep learning curve), Davey (clearly injured) potentialy Pears (maybe injured) or Slattery for Hooker (if so - Hurley to CHB and Hooker to CHF).

Bellchambers for Hurley? Take out a mobile key position forward and backman and replace him with a lumbering useless ruckman?
He kicks on the left

Gardiner and King vs Ryder?...not likely. Your entitled to your opinion on Bellchambers, but poor Paddy needs a hand.
Hurley is shaping up as a geniune gun, but we need to play two rucks on Sunday. Unfortunately I couldn't nudge anyone else out....IMO though

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
Ridiculous was a bit harsh and wrong. I would rather Hooker than Bellchambers. Lets face it, none of our fit ruckman will match King and Gardiner for strength. The only way we can beat their ruckman is around the ground, and Bellchambers doesn't cut it (yet). Hooker is far better around the ground than Bellchambers.

Re: anyone to come in for saints game?
True Rosso,
If they play Hooker solely as a back up ruck, I have no problems with that. Although I'd rather give Bellchambers a shot, just due to the size / hit-out factor.
We'll see...
