Who makes way for Goodes?

[ugg]

In alphabetical order,

Ablett - Very frustrating because he can be so much more. I don't think he has had much impact this year.
Barry - His propensity at trying to beat his man is definitely resulting in a negative expected return.
Bird - Would be harsh to drop him, but given he's the most inexperienced of the lot, he may make way
Buchanan - has gradually declined over the past 2 years. Stuffed into the forward pocket where he has been quite ineffective.
Everitt - too old, too slow.
Hall - Undisciplined acts were costly when the game was in the balance. Perhaps needs to learn in the magoos Nick Davis style.
Malceski - hasn't been the same Eski we came to love last year. Maybe needs a run in the ressies.
LRT - a liability in the defence, watched the man and not the ball too much.
Playfair - goalkicking is atrocious
other - please name

I'd omit Playfair, only because we need all the midfielders we can get against the Hawks because of their speed. Plus Bevo can match Hawks' Williams for speed, so he'd get a reprieve. Plus I doubt they'd drop Spida against his old club. If not Playfair then one of the guys carrying an injury, since it seemed like there were a few out there tonight.

ETA: What are the chances that Fossie's hammy will be better by next week? Because if there's a chance, I'd throw him into the team since he loves playing in Melbourne.

Paul Bevan = hopeless

[TheGrimReaper]

Paul Bevan = hopeless

Ditto! Too many turnovers.

I would like to see Nick Davis given another go.

[NMWBloods]

I really think Malceski and Buchanan both need a run in the reserves.

At some point it would be good for Ablett to have a run in the reserves to learn some attack.

Not sure what we're going to do with LRT and Playfair.

In: Goodes and Davis
Out: Buchanan and Bevan

I can't believe that posters are advocating that Bevan be dropped. I'm definitely no Bevo fan but he's been terrific so far this season and he was far from the worse tonight.

Out : Spider,Playfair,Ablett
In: Goodes , Vespremi , Davis (If Fit)

[NMWBloods]

I thought Bevan was hopeless tonight, but I wouldn't drop him.

[Glenn]

Out: Hall (susp), Ablett, LRT
In: Goodes,Davis,White

There were about 19 out there tonight who would qualify for a trip to Canberra, but as bad as the 2s played tonight, an infusion of seniors I fear would only weaken them further.

I don't know if Veszpremi has the match fitness to go in a seniors game atm. Saying that though, i would love to see an early debut from the Prez. Guy will be a cult hero.

Out:

Spida, Playfair, Bucky

In: Goodes, Currie, Schmidt

Ding, ding, ding, post of the night!!!!

Wouldn't rush Ves in with little or no match fitness, esp against the Hawks at the G.

Yep agree with that. As good as Veszpremi was in a few passages of play, he has to offer more. Played mostly at FF today.
