Your Team versus the Dawks
Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
Lets see ...
Need someone to essentially tag Cyril in the forward line ... McVeigh and Slattery (T) wrong choices. Need Hocking to provide drive ... Consider Howlett, Atkinson or if I may be so bold - Jetta (lets be blunt - the Hawk's defence is rather ordinary so scoring should be easier and Jetta not needed as much up forward).
Franklin and Roughhead - need fast tall defenders ... not Fletch though (better used as a rebounder) ... Hooker, Myers (Sigh - yet another sacrifice role) or NLM.
Would like to see T Slattery in the forward line, not the back to provide another target.
Like to see Silverlock as well as Margalini cconsidered for inclusion.
Would also like to see Zacha given a run in the midfield. Now who is going to shut down Hodge?

Lets see. Silverlock and Marigliani are both rookies and we are going up against an inform midfield of Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis and Rioli. Despite this being a bloody risky idea. Could we even play them?
You want to play Jetta in the backline andTyson Slattery up forward? do you know how many sausage rolls Tyson has kicked for bendigo? hasn't he been named in their best playing in the backline?
Has leroy ever had a run down back?(and isn't he doing quite well up forward??)

That being said - (1) given the midyear promotion option and the liklihood of Llaycock going to indefinite injury status - both rookies can be promoted ( I think this week).
(2) Re Slattery - whenever has position and form at Bendigo counted for much ( )? he was recruited as a forward - lets see him on the park before he gets delisted.
(3) Re Leroy ... Not played down back - but exceptional horses for courses selection.... lets see precedents include Ryder (DEFENDER) into Ruck on Anzaac Day, Monfries (Mid/Forward) into backline against Hodge and Hurley (fullback) going forward against (think it was the Saints) ... I have confidence that Leeroy's forward pressure skills can translate to tagging Cyril effectively.

Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
Fletch held Roughead goalless last time we played them while also providing plenty of drive out of defence.sti dreams wrote:

Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
I think your crazy, if Tyson Slattery was recruited as a forward, why have bendigo been playing him down back?

One rookie might be an idea, but playing both probably wouldn't and I'm not sure if they are the answer after a thumping by geelong.
Leroy has been a revelation up forward. I think he'd be more valuable hurting hawthorn there than trying to tag rioli...leroy doesnt strike me as a tagger AT ALL but eh thats just me.

Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
Pears on Roghead, Hooker on Franklin and FLetch to help out.
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.

Fletch on Roughhead, Hooker to Franklin, and the shorter Pears to help out.j-mac31 wrote:Pears on Roghead, Hooker on Franklin and FLetch to help out.
Roughhead is a little slower than many a big forward, and Pears is a little shorter than him. Fletch has closing speed and reach.
I expect there will be a mix and match through out the game.

Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
Definitely agree with your last sentence and I expect Hurley may even get a run in the backline, he seems to most weeks.F111 wrote:Fletch on Roughhead, Hooker to Franklin, and the shorter Pears to help out.j-mac31 wrote:Pears on Roghead, Hooker on Franklin and FLetch to help out.

I like Pears for his body strength on Roughead and I think Fletcher's speed and reach make him a better help option, particularly on Franklin and if he doesn't have to worry about them all the time can provide better run/long kicking out of the backline.
Also, I hate to use something my brother always says, but what the f*** is "closing speed"???
Is Fletcher only fast when chasing someone down, but not when he is just running normally?
Aaron Francis is the Messiah.
Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
I think it is to do with closing down someone who is on a lead. Fletch seems to play loose on an opponent and still get a spoil in.j-mac31 wrote:

So he's faster when closing down someone on a lead than any other time???robrulz5 wrote:I think it is to do with closing down someone who is on a lead. Fletch seems to play loose on an opponent and still get a spoil in.j-mac31 wrote:

Re: Your Team versus the Dawks
When coming in to spoil you have to be running quickly while preparing your arms to spoil. Some players don't have the co-ordination to be running at full tilt while also preparing to spoil as they need their arms to help them run.j-mac31 wrote:So he's faster when closing down someone on a lead than any other time???robrulz5 wrote:I think it is to do with closing down someone who is on a lead.
