He can still play with his preferred eleven. If you put Good back in, then you take La Rocca out. It is all very simple JW - you need to start showing some appreciation for your players who perform, what else does metcalf need to do to be in the match squad?

You're making that assessment of Metcalfe based on 75 minutes of match time - assuming you've seen those matches. Joyce is making his assessment on a lot more than that. I'm not saying that he (Joyce) is necessarily right in leaving Metcalfe out, but IMO most managers would do precisely as he has done - select what he believes is the best squad to win this important match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years we have been discussing on how poor the squad selection and balance of bench plus sub use is and now you are telling me he suddenly he has shit together for this one? Any other manager would give him a place on the bench, to cover for Baccus. If not we are taking to 2 CB's to Adelaide just to sit on the pine.

bellydrum Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 The squad looks really solid. Some good depth up front for a change. Metcalfe maybe stiff to miss out on a bench spot, but Wazza is taking no risks to try and keep his job. Don't really feel like we deserve finals after the season we had, but still excited for the game and quietly confident. Recently I think we've been playing a lot more positively despite the mixed results. A lot less passing backwards, more direct balls to our attackers and playing the ball a bit quicker. From my POV anyway. Not saying it's amazing, but it's been better to watch than earlier in the season or even last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem I have with your argument is that I don't think Joyce is the only problem that we have. IMO there are other roadblocks in the way of us being a truly competitive and successful club on the field, and I don't see these being removed anytime soon, whether Joyce stays or not. After the season we've had even the possibility that Joyce's tenure might be extended indicates where those roadblocks are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
