Your Team for this week

[scolsey22]

I have noticed a lot of post about who should be in and who should not. So here is your chance to do up your team for this weekend, with the belief that bolton and mcveigh will be fit to play.

Bevan, LRT, Mattner
Shaw, Bolton, Ted
Goodes, Mcveigh, Bird
Jack, White, Ryan O
Vesp, Hall, Mick
Jolly, Kirk, Bolton
I/C: Malceski, Currie, Brabazon, Smith

The swaps have been Mal for thornton, Bolton for Crouch, Mcveigh for Barlow, Currie for Grundy. And if Mick was not retiring I would have omitted him.

I really like Reg Grundy, but from the sounds he had an awful game on the weekend, and he has been poor from what I've been able to see in the last month.

So that being said, I do think it might be time he dropped back to the twos. Hopefully it ups his confidence when he sees how easily he outclasses his opponents, and he starts to believe he belongs in the AFL.

Good thread

Bevan, LRT, Mattner
Shaw, Bolton, Richards
Goodes, Kirk, Bird
Jack, White, ROK
Vesz, Hall, MOL
Jolly, Bolton, McVeigh
I/C: Mal, DOK, Smith, Pyke

Same as above, though I have DOK coming in after having some good games in the ressies, Braba out for him, and I have Pyke over Currie seeing as he has been good as well.

So 2 posters are convinced Beamish will get off, Bolts will make a miraculous recovery from a knee injury, McVeigh's shoulder will heal overnight and all is forgiven Mal.

No way Crouch will be dropped for heaven's sake. He had 14 touches and if he wasn't dropped last week after his howler against the Pies then he never will. Didn't you note his return to form as he dashed away from 18 super fit Crows and slotted a goal on the run from 50. The fact that those 18 Crows had lost interest for the day should not enter the argument.

Yep, the only certain out this week is Barry Hall.

A bit of both really. He kept his opponent Walker to just 2 possies, but what sticks in everyone's mind is some of his turnovers.

Yes, and the turnovers were big clangers. From memory, at least 2 directly resulted in Crows goals. Others put his teammates under heaps of pressure. Over the last month, these are a common theme and not always a result of opposition pressure. I think he needs some time in the reserves to sort this out, otherwise all his good points are negated.

B: Bevan, Roberts-Thomson, Mattner
HB: Shaw, Richards, Bolton
C: Goodes, Kirk, Bird
HF: Barlow, O?Keefe, R., Smith
F: Hanneberry, White, O'Loughlin
FOLL: Jolly, Jack, Bolton, J.
Interchange: Brabazon, Dok, Veszpremi, Pyke

In: Bolton, Pyke, Dok, Hanneberry
Out: Crouch, Hall, Thornton, Grundy

Hall - will be suspended

McVeigh - Dr Smooth seems to think Mcveigh will be out for a couple more a bit of a nasty ac joint

Currie - According to big footy ressies report Pyke smashed it this week and currie was average

Dok - in the best again for the ressies

Hanneberry - according to big footy was best on in the reserves give him a go while he's on school holidays cant go worse than jack watts

Mal needs another couple of weeks for the confidence

this team may be a bit short on small defenders or defensive mid fielders though
