Changes verses the Swannies - Easter Round

[Tigers2011]

Setting up to fail here by continuing with Dow & Banks. Fair enough there’s lots of injuries but McAuliffe needs to be played from hereon & surely Cumberland is worth trying - we’re hardly dangerous up forward.

Can’t understand Clarke not being played either. Doesn’t make a lot of sense at the moment. Feels like we’ve changed the senior coach but nothing else.

 

[JoeGee]

Only thing I can think to explain the changes is they've pencilled it as a loss already and want to see what Banks and Dow offer over a decent run of games.

That or Yze is a genius and is imploding the team in order to get the significant staffing changes needed to make us a competitive group again.

Same thought. It might be annoying for us fans to watch losses, but better for the long run.

We just need quality picks for quality kids . We will have that next year and beyond

 

[bigwow]

Lefau or Banks sub from that list.

 

[craig]

Dow and Banks stay in. We are 2 players down to begin with. These 2 don't offer a contest or any run and pressure.

Least Hugo isnt in along with them.

Last chance for them this week surely.

Happy Kane to likely debut next week at home in SA.

Young and Miller in as expected.

2027 = 10 years since breakthrough premiership and get ready for the 4-peat to 2030.

Both of them waste of time as sub.

Aside from Balta & Bolton, we need 2-3 more superstars in a hurry to make a run in 2027. McAuliffe & Fawcett better be good, cause there’s no one else.

Mozza and Cumbo a possibility, Gibbo (skipper), Sonz, Clarke and Brown should along with any trades. I never thought Dion, Nank and Caddy would do much for us in 2017.

There are very few on our list that potentially will be superstars of the comp because we haven't had top 10 draft picks mainly because we've been winning premierships. So many people whinging about not having the next superstars when we haven't had the chance to draft them, seriously what do people expect??

This season is finding out about how many of those on our list can be those 2nd string and role players going forwards, only Gibbo is potentially a young superstar on our list.

Lets see where we are in a couple of years of being able to draft at the top end of the draft again.

 

[tigertim]

Don't see the need for both Miller and Young. Lefau very lucky but not as lucky as Dow.

 

[Stig]

Banks really

 

[Brodders17]

Don't see the need for both Miller and Young. Lefau very lucky but not as lucky as Dow.

We need 2 proper talls down back, plus Broad. Grimes played that role last week and needs to be replaced.

 

[gold1]

as an aside to the main game team.Do we get VFL announced sides straight away?And where are they playing this week?

 

[Rantnrave]

When did MJ last play a great game or kick goals
Yet THE ONLY small x factor foward we have who has any potential of kicki g 3 4 or 6 goals is cumberland...it makes no bloody sense .And ever eorse is Graham will be back in 4 weeks .He will clog up a foward spot and be yetanother selection who hasnt played a great game or damagung fowards game in 4 seasins now
.dusty and prestia out yet no McAuliffe.So we go taranto and Dow at centre clearances both of whom were destroyed last week..
We are gonna be in for a horrid sunday.

I couldnt be bothered .....almost

I’m hoping yze is doing the brave thing by playing some beyond the call & eventually eliminating.
It’s my only explanation for no combo or coulthard.
Also lefau could well be something after some experience, but kosi & Mike nesmith are scratching heads.

Gibcus possibly - depending on how he comes back from his knee.

 

[tigerlove]

Backline is a worry. Talls were killed last week. 3 talls scored 9 goals, 3 goal assists, had 17 marks and 11 marks inside 15. Young was in poor form before injury. Swans tall forwards not as strong as Port's but they have quality smalls. Going to be a learning experience for sure.
