Keep Same Team/Don't drop Tambling! (merged)

[Skills]

Gaspar,  Rodan, Kellaway & Hyde out.

Funny that Phantom...these guys cant kick the football;

Therefore, we try the likes of Roach, Jackson & Hartigan;
You know...these guys struggle with their kicking also...which make me think, what skills are present on our list;

P.S Now you know why I called myself SKILLS - It's a message to remind everyone, what is sadly lacking at the moment.

I see your point, Skills,
But Roach has good skills but needs a bit more strength. Needs another 10 kilos actually. He's 20yo now, still got 2 more years before he's used up his chances.
Jackson, I haven't seen much wrong with his skills, just his ability to get the ball at senior level. He's still 19yo, givew him till 22yo, like Roach.
Hartigan, yes, kicking could improve. Maybe put him in the guts where he has to handball instead.

Roach, Jackson & Hartigan are all in their 3rd years. It's time for these boys to gain some senior experience now. I'd rather give these boys valuable senior experience than waste then on men whose best at the club is behind them.

I'd either drop tambo or put him right in the middle, all game. he needs more central responsibility, not to be allowed to float about on the outside of packs hoping for the best.

Re: Keep Same Team.

I actually agree with U2 - why spend time moving the deck chairs on the Titanic?  One or two or more player changes are not going to make a bit of difference if they play the same way against St Kilda.  Other than for match ups I agree - leave it the same and then see if they really give it a go.

Even if you made five changes that still leaves basically the team that got trashed - all you have done is change the faces on the bench.

Lets face it - at times we lack class and experience so if we don't play with desperation and apply pressure all over the ground aka Carlton we are going to be hard pressed to win at all.  Play as a team and win as a team or play for Coburg - if they will have them.

We sank a lot quicker on friday than the titanic did. Changes needed for sure. Krakouer and tivendale out.

tivendale my have improved his delivery but he is still a squib and he shirked it on many occasions on friday night

tambling looked scared as well - but he is an 18 yo kid

Yep...agreed.  Roach, Jackson and Hartigan should all play this weekend.  I have a sneaking suspicion that young Will may come from nowhere (again) to get a game!  The outs should depend on presence, attitude and performance on the track this week.

 

[uhuh uhuh]

I think Bling will be a bit like Danny Wells, it has taken him a while but preseason and form from last week suggest he will be a gun..

Bling needs game time and in a year or two he will be as good as wells..
