Changes Vs West Coast Eagles

Cumberland had 6 possessions last week, he was horrible. I am a massive Cumberland fan but let’s not pretend he earned another game this week.
His defensive efforts were poor. After he missed a couple of goals early he went missing, was part of a forward line that lacked defensive intent.
Miller only survived because of young’s injury I suspect but he was horrible as well.
So after 3 goals the week before in a losing side the 13 gamer is outed from a team that cannot score?
He had as many tackles last week as anyone else in the forward line, and more pressure acts.
The week before he had the most tackles.
He has talent fmd

Strange to leave Cumberland out after three goals in a quarter against Melbourne two weeks ago. Would hope he’s the sub.

Ridiculous bringing back Ralphsmith - definition of madness to do the same thing over & over and expect a different result.

That half forward line is a joke.

Not a single forward in there.

Hard to kick goals with a team full of backmen.

I don't care that he had a bad game. Dropping Cumberland is the last straw for me. I'm gonna say it. Hardwick has to go.
Amazing selection. I was 50-50
About going. I would go to watch Cumberland play. Not going now

He has been out of form. I am not surprised.
There are others that haven’t been inform all season not just 1 game
The GC performance was the worst performance by our team for a long time
A forward line of Ryan Martin Riewoldt Cotch now Graham is far too slow
Cumbo needed to play against the Weagles we need x factor in our side

You are comparing Cumberland to Richo. That’s cute.
Hardly. You are dropping Cumberland from this team on body language. Now that is cute. His body language can be an ongoing fix while he plays.
If he stinked it up again this Saturday maybe ok. You said he is out of form, like how many others…??

Aside from miller being in the side happy enough with the changes
better structured/balanced side than last week
 
Hugo straight back in ............................... :rolleyes:
Don't like it.

I get they are trying to teach him something.

We forget that all our stars were given endless runs in the seniors hence their incredible development.
Just play him FFS.

Furthermore
Jack, cotch, dusty etc didn't have to bang the door down.
They had talent.
It was obvious.
They were played.
Cumberland has X factor and oozes natural talent. He will learn more in a *smile* outing in the seniors rather than with the *smile* kickers in the VFL.

Its all right for you guys as there are alternative games to see locally. Me, I will have to wake up for a 04:45 ball up in UK for another potentially disappointing and clueless Tigers performance. The trouble I know I will do it instead of turning over and watching the replay later.
Nothing wrong with watching the replay later, as long as you haven't cheated n done a final score check before watching the replay. If ya don't know who's won or lost ya just pretend you're watching a live broadcast.

I believe my eyes. He dropped his head when he missed a couple early
He was poor last week and poor for the last 3 quarters against the Demons.
I’ve said I am a big fan and he is a key player in our future forward line but he needs to learn you don’t drop your head when things don’t go your way.

I’d say Miller has kept his spot as Young is out possibly to play back

No doubt but I no longer see the value of Miller in the team anymore. He needs to get his hands dirty. Go in and flex a bit of muscle.
