Changes for Round 15 - GWS

[ScottH]

Poor play by Goodes to handball to a guy with his back to him, especially when he had a relatively easy set shot.

+1

Dumb move by Goodes.

[Ludwig]

Goodes could see that Pyke had his backed turned to him, so why did he handball? Of course Pyke should have been paying attention, but these things happen all the time in games and you often see a few of these sorts of plays each week.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Yeah def a brain fade moment from Adam.

[ScottH]

If Pyke had the reflexes of a Jack, then it may have been a good idea. but alas.

[Plugger46]

Clearly Goodes' fault. Just one of those stupid brain fades he has.

[Conor_Dillon]

+1

Dumb move by Goodes.

I'd like to give Goodesy the benefit of the doubt and say that he was just attempting to get big Mike into the match...he'd missed quite a few games and was evidently down on confidence and kicking a goal could have given him a bit of a boost.

It was poorly executed though and they weren't on the same page but Goodes' had the best of intentions...he's never been 'hungry' around goals and has always had the ability to be creative by hand within 30 metres of the big sticks to set up his teammates for easy scoring shots.

No doubt if we were 4 points down with a minute left in a prelim-final he would have gone back and calmly slotted it.

[rojo]

Yep, silly Goodes. Now if it had been Derickx in the goal square? Sorry Mike, but when Swans' fans fail to respect AG in the way he deserves, it makes me sad. He cops enough flak from non-Swans fans!

[Nico]

Both at fault. Pyke should have been backing towards the goals to keep his eye on the play. Goodes should have noticed that Pyke had his back to him, after all he is the experienced player. Could it be that Goodsey is suffering the yips. Never confident with him kicking for goal from set shots. Has missed many clutch goals over his career.

[DK_]

When he was jogging back to occupy the goal line assuming that Goode's (being a forward) would line up for a set shot from 30m ???

Every ruck man who fails to go to the goal line in these circumstances gets criticised if the opposition get a hand to it.

It shouldn't have happened, but blaming Pyke is pretty rich.



Welcome back.

Tend to agree. Not sure why Goodes didn't just take the shot.

[ernie koala]

Whats happening Ugg?

[aardvark]

In. Tippett McGlynn
Out. Shaw Derrickx

[ernie koala]

That seems right to me.

I hope Jones gets a full game

[ShockOfHair]

Pretty handy ins.

I thought Rohan might have been a chance, but well done to Zak. He'll surely start at half-back and Lloyd to suit up in green.

[stellation]

And the winner is.... Ludwig!

[Ludwig]

Horse was very diplomatic about dropping Derickx. Let's hope that Pyke can find his premiership mojo.

Happy that GSW dropped Boyd instead of Jaksch. He's bound to make a couple of goal yielding errors.

Benny is such a big addition to the side, especially with Hanners out.
