Round 15 changes VS Sydney

[Big Sauce 21]

Could have 3 very big ins for next Sundays clash, I'm backing them in. Harwood and Roberston still likely to be out I guess.

IN : Merrett, Rockliff, Hanley

OUT : Bourke, Lester, Aish

Gardiner - Merrett - Clarke
Beasley- Andrews - Rich
Taylor - Beams - Hanley
Christensen - McStay - Zorko
Green - Staker - Paparone
Berger - Rockliff - Redden

Mayes - Robinson - Adcock

Bewick

 

[captainrich]

Lester was brilliant, we wouldn't drop him, someone like Bewick might get dropped though me might stay as he is a different type of player to the guys coming in, maybe Beasley would be the unlucky man.

Really hope Mayes gets a full game and gets to show his talent

 

[Last of the Roys]

I would go with the same ins and outs, except I would drop Beasley instead of Lester.

Not that Beasley has done much wrong, but someone in defence has to make way for Merrett.

Lester on the other hand can be played forward, so could take Bourke's role.

IN: Tom Rockliff, Daniel Merrett, Ryan Harwood, Nick Robertson, Pearce Hanley

Preliminary before full details of Robertson and Harwood are known. Bourke and Beasley forced out due to structure, not poor performances.

Pretty much much our top 22. Possibly Claye Beams might get in there and Close. And Martin of course

If these are the ins l wouldn't be hugely surprised if there is an upset.

Stay tuned for experience watch

The second ruck position is gonna be difficult again for this match. You wouldn't think Merrett would be up for it and it'll be tough for Leuey to backup again after having to ruck in 10,000 stoppages against Freo. We probably need Andrews down back as well.

Lester on the other hand can be played forward, so could take Bourke's role.

I like this plan.

I would never have guessed it before the season given our midfield acquisitions, but I think Lester should be really hard to leave out of the side (not that selections have always vindicated that). He has such a big impact on our contested work, and has looked particularly dangerous in bursts as a forward.

 

[POBT]

Forward match ups are scary. Think I'd like Merrett in defence for this one.

Keep Stakes and/or Bourke forward. Big thing with Sydney is to keep their defenders accountable and that requires tall options who present at the footy.

 

[a mayes ing]

Clarke on Franklin,
Andrews on Tippet.

Even tho Merret is the more experienced defender, l would back these 2 over him just because he hasn't played in ages. Remember when Clarke was on Walker last year and kept him accountable. As soon as Clarke got injured and was taken off, Walker started dominating.

Merret forward replacing Staker.

 

[POBT]

Clarke on Franklin,
Andrews on Tippet.

That's why the match ups are scary. Putting the names on screen doesn't make it any better.

You are the reason I rarely feel the need to post, POBT . Love your work.

Merret forward replacing Staker.

Clarke would be burnt by Buddy. He wouldn't be able to go with him athletically and physically. Rog is the go.

 

[Wounded Lion]

Clarke Merrett Gardiner
Hanley Andrews Paparone
Taylor Rockliff Christensen
Zorko McStay Robinson
Green Staker Adcock

Leuey Redden Beams

Bewick Lester Mayes Rich

I am enjoying Adcock's new defensive forward role, he applies strong pressure and has helped with locking the ball in our half.

Clarke should get first crack at Buddy, Merrett to take Tippett and Andrews should play as a loose third man who can help out Leuey in the ruck.

Aish, Beasley & Bourke to make way for 3 x 100 gamers in Hanley, Merrett & Rockliff

 

[whizkizz]

Merrett to come in and man up Tippett in the square.

I reckon Paps will run around with Buddy (I don't reckon anyone else could get close tbh). Clarke to mind him when he's deep.

Harris to pinch hit in the ruck as a forward; Gardiner to mind Goodes/Reid (if forward).

Looking forward to seeing potentially our strongest lineup for the year!

 

[WA Lion]

Rocky just confirmed he is back this week

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Clarke played on Franklin last time we played him during the Hawks. Can't see why he wouldn't go with him again. Merrett on Tippett Andrews on Ried Gardiner on Goodes

 

[Kevvo]

Rohan out will help. I don't think we would've had many great matchups for him on one of his good weeks.

Have there been any updates on Ted Richards?

 

[CarterS]

Agree with Aish out.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Anyone else think MC Stay could go for a gallop in the 2's? Keep Bourke in and get McStay to work on some leading patterns and defensive pressure. Don't get me wrong think he will be a gun though

 

[jackess]

Small forward Josh Green will have scans today after complaining of soreness in his foot at yesterday’s recovery session.

Mitch Robinson is also in some doubt with a sore knee.

yep - knowing our luck this year that will be a bone stress related problem and a minimum of 3 weeks on the sideline. We just cannot get a break

 

[Harris Specter]

Surely there has to be a review into the strength, fitness and conditionin of our players. Even yesterday, our players look skinny compared to the Freo players and our horrible injury occurrences

 

[Bert Man]

If that is another stress related injury serious questions need to be asked. These injuries are highly avoidable and should not be happening very often in an elite environment. Clearly the training at the club is either too strenuous, which would be a major issue in itself, or the program is poorly administered.

 

[bato]

So a few of our boys crack in extra harder this week and get injured. They're soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fragile.
