Changes for Rnd 12 v The Cats

[ernie koala]

Fairly predictable.
TDL can count himself a bit stiff.
Everitt can count himself a bit lucky.

TDL unlucky - must have wanted the bigger body of Andrejs in against the Cats..... Hope we see Trent back soon.....

[DLBIA14]

Looking a bit tall, but again, after the Dons game I'm not going to judge...

Fairly predictable that Everitt will be the sub.

Fairly predictable that Everitt will be the sub.

Likely, but I don't agree with it. He usually takes a while to warm into the game and is one of if not the most ineffective sub in terms of being able to come on and make an impact. Having said that though, I was pleasantly surprised with his last game.

[GongSwan]

I am not sure what you mean Gong? I think Armstrong and AJ are both capable of very long kicks out of defence. The other thing it does give us is the chance to mix it up in the kick outs. Mal, Marty and Rhyce are pretty predictable, whereas Armstrong is a real wildcard when kicking in. He mixes it up every time he kicks in and then runs on for the second effort. Mal has been pretty poor at delivery over the last month and this is the problem. You can't continue to play a bloke who may have the ability to destroy a team with pinpoint kicking but just gives the ball up.

It's my belief that Everitt is the longest kick in teh club right now. I been wrong b4, also his delivery inside 50 last week was very good, the one he squared to Hanners was exceptional. Both Armstrong and AJ are capable of 40, 50m. Everitt can kick from the square to the circle, it's an asset when u want to move the ball fast. At this point, Everitt would have better match fitness and has been ineffective as sub, so I'd probably play him

[Chilcott]

TDL out, Everitt stays in - I now can't get that INXS song out my head - Mystify, mystify me.

I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive.............

Little bit disappointed that TDL has been omitted. He gives us another forward option and with Benny back it could have been a gun forwardline. I think we have missed the boat a bit here. Drey is a great kick but where do you play him? definitely not forward or back he is crap in a set posie. He is better as a run on player, so on ball, either wing or in the CS.

[RogueSwan]

Poor TDL. Didn't do anything wrong, whereas Everitt....

[longmile]

I dont understand Longmire's logic here. In a game where we need our forward structure more than ever he drops the man who provides it to keep in someone who time and time again has proved he is not a swan. TDL is genuine target up front, both leads well and crumbs well. Everitt is easily muscled out of a context and is seen rarely leaving. Sometimes I think Lomgmire lacks imagination

[Gezball]

can't believe they dropped TDL.... I don't agree with that at all.

[ShockOfHair]

You can't play TDL ahead of McGlynn.

[Go Swannies]

You can't play TDL ahead of McGlynn.

this.

[ernie koala]

You can't play TDL ahead of McGlynn.

But you can play him ahead of Everitt.

[DLBIA14]

But you can play him ahead of Everitt.

Everitt will be the sub surely. He can play tall and small I suppose, so he gives flexibility (although he doesn't play brilliantly in either position). TDL is unlucky no doubt but somebody had to be omitted and Horse admitted as much that it was a difficult decision.
