Changes for Round VII Lions

[Markwebbos]

I agree with Ronke and Clarke out.....do not agree with Rowbottom out.

I agree with Hayward and Fox in.....do not agree with Jack back in.

Again, poor COR.

Agree with all of this except I'd rather have seen COR ahead of Fox
Yes almost anyone rather than Jack... But I'm trusting the coaches to get the mix of youth and experience right. Lets see how they go on Saturday?

These are my exact initial thoughts.

My only guess is that they want Rowbottom to work on very specific things of his game and it is easier to do that in the NEAFL than in first grade. It is somewhat a fallacy that a player will develop more in first grade than the NEAFL.

I guess Sam Reid / AA again

Just checked the weather. Looks like it's going to rain for most of Saturday. Better pick some wet trackers.

It feels like lately every time we play in Queensland it rains. I remember one game it looked like we were playing on a lake!

Glad that the worse performers have been dropped and Rowbottom had a taste but didn't set the world alight.

Absolutely pissed about no COR and Gold Pass Jack glides back in! If Jack doesn't perform to a much higher standard than recently then he has to go.

COR, what more can he do? This is Dawson late 2017 all over again and before him Tom Mitchell. COR be asking for a trade.

Kennedy is our only player above 30 in the side. While it is a rebuilding year, I still think it's good to have veterans like Jack out there to mix with the youth.

[ernie koala]

Bringing Jack in purely because of "experience" (can't be any other reason) is a crap decision...

He's been totally ineffective for a long time now, and I expect the same on Saturday.

If we're rebuilding.... then let's rebuild..... stop fluffing around.

[Ralph Dawg]

in Fox Hayward Jack
Out Clarke Ronke Rowbottom

Emg O’Riordan Rowbottom McInerney Reynolds

I just don't get it with Jack. There's minimal upside to having in the side at this point of his career, given his recent form and run of injuries. The only thing I can come up with is that with the restrictions of runners, his experience helps with the younger players tactical play. If that's the case, maybe we drafted Stevie J or Nick Davis in the midseason and put them out there!

[707]

Nick Davis has never been fitter and boy he can kick!!!

[longmile]

Wtf does COR have to do to get a game. Ridiculous. Not only is he in our best 22 and offers the run and defensive skills that we'reing but also allows mills to play midfield.

It'll also be interesting to see what role Fox plays. He's a bit of a licorice allsorts player

I'm not exactly sure what forum is the best to post this but thought it was interesting nonetheless:

As well as on field coaching, McVeigh can justify his position on his current playing form (when not injured). Jack, other than a cracker of a game v GWS late last season, hasn't shown great form in recent times.

Yes, that was at Carrara in 2016. I couldn't get to the ground, because of the flooded roads. Last real dry game was probably also there in 2014 or 15? The last couple at the Gabba were wet. While the previous one at the Gabba was clear skies for most of the time, except for a brief, unexpected, squally shower, that demonstrated that the stand roof design, didn't offer much protection from the rain.
Lucky I'm an atheist, otherwise I'd be feeling cursed by karma, or something.

Can’t wait for COR to get traded for pick 76 next year ...
