Feels like another late change week?Possibly...hope Cerra is right to play...
Binns and Williams. Cerra and the Cinch.Prof, Id be happy with those changes but I think Williams will be persevered with, hoping the bad press this past week might inspire a better game from him. The out of form and equally under pressure Lachie Schultz might be a good opponent for him...
Mitchell has been a liability this season. Losing him would probably help their chances.They will miss Mitchell, being doing the grunt work alone with Adams gone and he compliments their other mids imho.
I wonder if they’ll bite the bullet and drop Sidebottom 🤔 We’ll probably play him back into form.
Vossy’s response to our profligate play on Saturday suggests that our players will have a hard week. It won’t be “bring your mouthguards” but there will be some honest feedback and clarification of roles and expectations.
How about Cincotta into the backline and Zac goes half forward?Agree on Cincotta, thought ZW might go ok on the wing vs a very out of form Sidebottom, maybe the coach could challenge him with N.Daicos who plays off half back to shut him down..
Thats from 3 years ago yeah.My point being has he improved?
Not a good time (player availability wise) to try and make an example of someone....especially given our month of games.Id replace him with Cincotta.....
I reckon Vossy definitely would've highlighted what Williams did wrong, but done so behind closed doors. I doubt we'll see another one of them in a hurry.
Browny was even more scathing than King.Not wrong...its a fair spray...
We need to start striking blokes softly off the ball. The fines are worth it if you can get a few goals out of it.Knowing our luck there would be a crackdown and one of our blokes would be made an example of and get a long holiday...interesting the Henry hit has been deemed low impact , intentional and body contact yet Zac was holding his head?
If he staged then he should be suspended. I would like the AFL to come out and say it was a free kick or he staged.Watched it a few times on video and there appears to be high contact of sorts but ZW also appears to have exaggerated the force of the contact and the umpires ignored it due to the extra mayo he applied.
Williams is not a defender per se', we all know that and Chris Scott exploited it to perfection. Unfortunately, his team mates (in defence) let him down by lack of support. Zac is a creative run and carry HB with good disposal skills, yesterday he was taken to places he just didn't want to go to. He and his team mates will review it and learn. The key to a premiership is a solid, consistant back 6 or 7, whilst we are treading water at the minute, we aren't are premiership threat right now due to the disruption of the defensive unit. Once we get them back and they can regain their cohesion and consistency, then will we see if we are contenders or not.You cant be on 800k a year and turn the ball over like he did vs good teams like Geelong. As was pointed out by "Pinot"his efforts or lack of led to 3-4 goals being scored by Geelong and the attacking value he gives isnt worth his lack of defensive prowess. His disposal is way overrated imho and I wouldnt have him in my best 22 and he is very fortunate we are down on troops with injury and he doesnt have much competition for his spot.
