Changes for Rnd 13 V Carlton (The Mummy Returns)

[Hartijon]

Only one way to stop Betts.Wear him like a glove and deny him supply! Smith is the man 3rd time lucky!

[Bloody Hell]

Jack into the 21. Jetta to sub.
Mummy in
McVeigh out.
Even Jackson was taking the piss out of Mcveigh for a weak effort early in the game yesterday...not good enough from a captain, 3 touches to half time.
At least Jetta gives us some unpredicability

Unfortunately you can't drop your captain. It announces to the world you were wrong.

Still think he's a good option for the forward pocket - seems desperately out of form in the midfield.

[Bloody Hell]

If I can do whatever I want this week I'd:

Mattner LRT Smith
Malcheski Grundy Kennelly
Shaw Jack Hannebery
McGlynn Reid O'Keefe
McVeigh White TDL
Mumford Kennedy Goodes

Seaby Bird Johnson Jetta

What I think they will do?....no idea. But I think the conversation will revolve around one change - including Mumford and leaving out one of Richards, Johnson, LRT or Seaby.

There's only so many combinations or permutations of that.

Smith killed Betts in the final last year. I'll back Nick again. Betts is most dangerous one out in the square when he has clear space to run and twist people around. Much like Rioli the other week. If it's Betts and Smith on their own Eddie is just too quick. No doubt they will employ the same tactic again but I'm happy for Nick to take him.

For the love of god can we please drop Jetta now?

Jets was awful, but I reckon Horse will struggle to drop him. His leg speed against carlton could be invaluable. With mumford coming back in, does anyone else think we have one to many talls? LRT may have to be the casualty!

Jackson was off the mark.

He definitely struggled but I don't think that was a weak effort.

Highly overrated IMO. Someone like Parker would make a better contribution overall than the one or two good things Jetta does.

I do. Mc Veigh is playing "Bruise free" footy.

[Daphy]

I agree. As much as I love Jetta, I love the hype about him, not the way he is playing now. And as for the leg-speed he adds, that's also hypothetical, has he been using it? No. So therefore, he should add leg-speed, but he doesn't use it, or uses it once or twice. That's not good enough for me.

[Danzar]

Great problem to have we just don't know who to drop for Mummy. Jetta is a worry for me, he is going to be a very important player for us long term but his intensity is woeful at times. Would love to see him use his pace when he doesn't have the ball.

Agreed on Jetta. He is just too lazy and lacks judgement. The latter comes with more experience but the former is what causes me concern.

Completely agree that we need to retain pace. I think they have to drop LRT. Mumford has even more versatility and I can see him up forward with Seaby in the ruck as a back up, when required. Rotate Shaw and Jack between Betts and Judd, both of whom must be shut down.

I think TDL needs to stay. He's got a good head and I think he'll develop better in the seniors. Certianly wouldn't write him off on the back of Sunday's performance.

I don't see why you would call Jets lazy - I think he puts in a decent effort but does not have the physicality to get down and dirty with the in-and-unders. He's a young guy who's still developing and I don't think it's correct to label him as lazy.

[johnno]

Who comes in, who gets dropped?????? Who knows what Horse will do?

My two cents....

Firstly, if Mumford is fit and ready...he plays, simple as that. Seaby however doesnt get dropped,(he does get dropped when Pyke is ready to come in though...in my opinion) we need 2 ruckman. Playing 1 Ruckman for so long has hurt Mumford.

Secondly, Mattner, Kennely, Shaw and Malceski dont get dropped...ever!

Thirdly, its a 'horses for courses' type situation for me, if I'm not mistaken, Carlton are tall at both ends of the ground, which means LRT plays as Carlton MAY play Kruezer in the forward line in certain stages of the game, which means LRT is needed to play on him.

Fourthly(is this a word???), what to do with Jetta, I too can see what it is that annoys people on here about him, goes missing for lengthy periods in the game, wont ever get the hard ball, opposition players break his tackles a little bit too easy......and so on. But he is quick and may be needed in the dry conditions under the roof to run and run fast as Carlton have some speadsters of their own in Betts, Yarran, and Gartlett.

Fifthly(again is this a word????), I forgot what I was going to say now....my heads all dizzy.....I think I'm going to go and lie down.

Good luck Horse and co with whatever team you come up with on Sunday.....I'm sure you'll pick the right players.

Jetta kicked two very important goals, straight, when we were seriously struggling to convert. How on earth can you drop him? I actually think he should be given a run as a genuine forward, because he's not fit/experienced enough to make a consistent impact on the wing yet, but he has the speed and skills to be dangerous. He also needs to work on his tackling, but that's another issue.

I agree, I'm sure they wont drop him...It's just what I'd like to see.
He's going no where as a player or a captain at present.
Taking a hit for the team, and regaining form in the 2's, could be the making of him as a captain..
If he handled it well, it would be seen as a great selfless team effort by one of our captains.
But really I'm just pissing in the wind, because it wont happen.
