Changes for round 14 v Hawthorn

[Markwebbos]

IN: Jack, Hannebery ... no hang on, that was 2018. I think Horse has learnt that lesson.

We'll see

Rose actually made a few totally unforced errors vs the eagles ie especially that 40m kick across field 3rd qtr to space the eagles ran into and scored

He was trying to take the game on with that kick, yes it didn't come off, but I like the fact he tried. So much better than the boring long down the line.

I've got a big wrap on Rose. He has all the skills, can pretty much play anywhere. That goal he kicked against the Eagles just sums up what he is capable of. He dominates NEAFL even more than Mitchell did. He just needs a decent stint in seniors to get his confidence up, very much in the same way as Dawson.

Spot on.

Given JPK and Jones are the only likely ones back (Haywood to play reserves), I would suggest the changes be:

In: JPK, Jones
Out: McVeigh, Thurlow

[rb4x]

I think Hayward will come in before Jones. We will see tonight but if fit I expect both Hayward and Jones to be named.

[Odysseus]

I know some posters keep mentioning Rose's cross into the centre that was turned over but there were two major positives which we all harp on about, (a) the kid was taking a risk to open the game up on the other side of the ground and (b) he absolutely hurtled back on the turnover to spoil the Eagles pack which to me says the kid has a bit of character. Let's give him a run instead of Jack or McVeigh to see if he cuts the mustard ...

Snork is one of a number who have argued for Rose being given another go. I'm also in that camp. He seems to have character attributes as well as skills that could make him a useful player at the top level. And as others have argued, even if he were given a chance and it was then seen that he couldn't deliver at that level, the process would let the club and the player know where he's at and so be consistent with fairness when decisions have to be made at the year's end. So I hope he runs around with the firsts again tomorrow night, and that he does well.

I agree with all those saying Rose should stay for now.....he deserves a more extended run for his contracts sake!

Hayward Jones Kennedy for McCartin McVeigh Thurlow

No clear replacement for Thurlow in defence. Jones, Dawson, Florent, or Clarke the possibilities.

Hayward Jones Kennedy for McCartin McVeigh Thurlow

Gee you're quick Ugg. Maybe we can add you into our midfield mix? Good changes imo.

[Hotpotato]

Thanks Ugg, you are always right on the GO button for us !
Don’t you ever have to cook dinner !

Hayward Jones Kennedy for McCartin McVeigh Thurlow

The 'in's' make sense , even if I wouldn't have minded Hayward returning via the two's and I don't mind those 'outs'.....Tom has been quietish of late and to fit three in, Thurlow had to go. Had the match not been after a bye, COR would have been rested after the head knock. Thurlow out now makes sense.

[707]

Sensible ins and outs, makes us a stronger side.

[Nico]

Thurlow is stiff. He was going alright until he was poleaxed.

[Blood Fever]

Thurlow is stiff. He was going alright until he was poleaxed.

Happy with chages, especially retaining COR and Rose

[dejavoodoo44]

I'm a little bit surprised by McCartin going out, but maybe it's a weather thing. With the ground likely to be slippery, a medium sized forward, should be more effective than a tall.

[Ralph Dawg]

Jones and Will are in our best 22 so if they are fit and firing, then get them in. JPK is a given. So all up, happy with the changes, although it would've been a bee's dick between COR and Thurlow and McCartain and Menzel.
