Changes vs GWS

[17]

If ever a side needed a freshen up and injection of youthful enthusiasm, it’s this one.
This week was the opportunity to give Banks his debut, stop messing with Cumberland’s head, and perhaps persist with Miller while Lynch is on the sidelines.
And yet Judson Clarke is the only change, and probably the least deserving of the above.
Can’t help thinking that the club is so bedazzled by the cult of Dimma that they are unable to move forward, on his game plan or his players.
They should have given Mini a mandate for aggressive change, not same old same old.
Otherwise what is the point?!
We are bottom four and need to get games into our future players.
Our rebuild should have started last week but the club is in denial.

God how depressing and deflating ..
Playing a side of out of form slow running players based on 2020 form
Same old same old.
Jack graham for a start just is so bloody slow and simply not a foward and been out of form for two years yet kerps getting games over cumberland .....

Because we're still trying to win games and playing 5 gamers thats don't know their arse from their elbow doesn't help that.

We've won 3, 12 matches to go, we need at least 10 more wins to make finals this year (23 games total). In 2014 we won the last 9 games to make finals but with better quality players than we've got in this team. Mission impossible.

Underwhelming those changes for a side that's won 3 games all year. A cooked forward on one leg and players keep getting games not performing puzzling.

Get finals out of your heads it's about development and exposure this year who's up to it and who's not simple.

 

[Go The Tiges!]

if I was Cumberland I’d be looking at leaving for opportunities elsewhere

 

[AngryAnt]

stop the Cumberbatch farce!!!!

Surely just surely Cumberland will be the sub. Expected rain so can't see Miller as the sub, The club won't debut Banks as the sub, Dow was terrible against the Bombers and didn't play last week in the ressies due to the bye. Enter Cumberland who at least has had two very good ressies games in a row, kicking 7 goals.

EMG:
[46] Ben Miller,
[27] Thomson Dow,
[38] Noah Cumberland,
[41] Sam Banks

Ya'd think it'll be Cumbo but if its not it be better if it was Banks than Dow.

We're 2.5 games out of 8th. Competition is very close. We may not need to win 10 more.

He got another 2 years to run on his contract iirc or at least is at RFC for next year.

Winning against the Swans, Suns and Bongers wouldve had us right in it still.

Unreal.

Agree Don’t waste your time in a team that’s overlooking your form

 

[King Kong]

No Cumbo and Ralphshit and panic merchant Young still in. Mini dud strikes again

Contracts mean nothing he can ask to be traded The way he’s been treated he should

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

McQuackQuack useless
Make a change FfS

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Cumberland will go to another club and bend us over.

 

[btoz_01]

Cumberland will go to another club and bend us over.

Well only have ourselves (RFC) to blame

 

[achillesjones]

Cumberland will go to another club and bend us over.

The current brains trust simply do not value natural forwards.
Good forwards are as rare as hen's teeth and those that show real potential must be nurtured.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Let's see how we go before having a tear.

 

[Tig3]

He makes a good point!

 

[TigerFurious]

Very bland selections.

More interest in the VFL this week. Coulthard to debut, Brown back from injury, Trezise, Banks and Sonsie doing their thing, Bradtke on the verge of breaking a game apart.
