Re: A Team for this week.
Can someone explain the logic behind dropping one ruckman and bringing in 2?

Re: A Team for this week.
Zaka is still weeks away
Giles or McKernan for TBell, but def not both...
Play Carlisle as the CHF where his shit kicking for goal will be less of an issue and Joey out of the square...

We have lost Fletch and they have a very tall forward line and then there is 200cm Blicavs running around like a rover.....insurance may be wise.Crazyman wrote:Zaka is still weeks away

Re: A Team for this week.
McKernan may not be able to play this week if Winderlich comes back in the VFL. Even f Winderlich is ready, I'd give him another week just so we can see McKernan get another run.

We already have Hurley and Hooker who are two of the best defenders in the game right now...
I would rather Steinberg or Pears for Fletch and Giles or McKernan for TBell (my pref would be Sternberg & McKernan)
Or are you expecting them to send Carlisle down back, play two rucks, with Joe at CHF and the resting ruck in the square?
Stupid...
If McKernan can't play, the Giles should...

Re: A Team for this week.
If Dempsey wasn't dropped earlier in the year, you're dreaming if you think he won't play this week.

Re: A Team for this week.
id rather mckernan as the third tall instead of ambrose. ambrose just doesn't do enough. mckernan is quite agile and athletic, much more so than the lumbering ambrose. mckernan can take a grab, play some ruck if needed or stay around the f50. much more versatile.

Do the Carlisle/ Hurley switch.

How soon we forget.
Carlisle won't do any better than Hurley in defense, but we'd surely lose in attack by replacing Carlisle with Hurley.
I know, so often Carlisle can't kick straight, but that's something that can be fixed. Didn't he kick 8 last year?
Has Hurley ever kicked 8? And not likely to. He rarely kicked more than 2, was constantly leading to pockets, constantly lead under the ball, and constantly had the ball bounce out of his hands in marking attempts. And most on here constantly reminded us of his shortcomings as a forward. Hurley is much better suited in defense.
Re: A Team for this week.
Number of times he's kicked more than 2. Out of a total of around 3 and a bit years up forward. Not a shabby record. A far better record than Carlisle, bar that one game when he kicked 8.nudder12 wrote:Please, no.Gimps wrote:Do the Carlisle/ Hurley switch.

6 goals - 1
5 goals - 1
4 goals - 6
3 goals - 8
And he is a shitload better player now. Matured, smarter footballer. And that's not just because he is playing down back. If Carlisle doesn't lift, they need to have a crack at this change as we don't have anyone else to switch with Carlisle that is worth a pinch of shit.
Re: A Team for this week.
If Hurley is to be moved anywhere - my preference would be to play in the pivot. A big body to block, crash and bash the opposition and to provide some spark and run. We are being murdered at the ruck contested and clearances (despite what the stats might say). This is primarily due to Bellcho's laziness and ineptitude and our lack of fit, classy on-ballers.
IMHO our season is over because of this - I cant see us turning it around anytime soon. The next fortnight is make or break. We need something creative and dynamic and we need it starting tonight - quarter one!
