Good Changes!!!

two in form players come straight back in... Schoey's run too is great. Very happy that Newman gets another game

Newman will be sub again by the looks of that

 

[ioppolo]

Good changes all round. Although would've preferred Sheppard to stay.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I'll believe Butler's playing when he takes the field

 

[kaiserchief13]

Rosa - Harvey
Butler - Adams
Brennan - Thomas

These are the key match ups imo. Win them all or 2/3 and Eagles win.

Also think McGinnity will be sub.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

shame to see shep injured.

think we shouldve kept brown in due to the plethora of kpds they have.

 

[Quinz]

Which (if any) emergencies are flying over?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

No need for McGinnity now Butler is back, will they play him forward for large minutes if so GTFO.

 

[BigBirds1987]

Mcginnity WILL TAG HARVEY????

 

[sTeeL]

semi-tag...

 

[Belltower]

Team looks unbalanced, need another mid on the bench.Why don't they name players in their expected starting positions. Nicnat starts in the centre square, it is not like they are fooling the opposition.

Backline

Forwardline
Masten Lynch Hill

Sub

If Newman is the sub Paddy will probably play there, rotating through the forward line. Which I don't think is a good position for him at all. The other option is to just get him to sit on Wells or Harvey and see if he can shut one of them down.

More midfield options would be handy, Masto getting some time there would be good. Might even see how Newman goes in the centre.

I got a real bad feeling about this game down in Tassie, Norths might even take some percentage off us.

I would rather have Newman playing up forward instead of Mcginnity.

I will NOT be happy if Mcginnity is up forward and Newman is sitting on the bench.

 

[Ochre]

Shep bloody unlucky but very happy to see Schoey and Sammy back.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Shep bloody unlucky but very happy to see Schoey and Sammy back.

He hasn't been dropped, he's injured

 

[Ochre]

He hasn't been dropped, he's injured

Apparently.

 

[BradWCE]

Happy with the changes. Brown goes out which was always going to happen when Schoey was right to come back. Unlucky for Shep but good to see Butler back in the side.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Perfect changes, no Selwood, no Brown, no Sheppard for Schofield and Butler.

Could not have made better changes in my opinion.

Oh cool, they are talking up kerr's 200 on AFL 360

 

[SinkingDeeper]

Senior still out, thought I heard he'd travelled this morning?

 

[hudson2006]

Bad luck for Shep. He's become an attacking weapon alongside Masten, they both ensure quality delivery inside 50. Hope he gets back in soon.

So I hope Newman starts the game in Shep's role. He will keep our forward line potent and apply pressure, which we'll need to get over the Roos.

Butler would be my choice of sub. Schofield is already massive boost to our defence, I don't think we need so many defenders on the ground to start. Butler may need easing back in anyway.

McGinnity has been an effective sub in the past... and has been getting a lot of hate on this board. But I think he is playing a key defensive role for the team every week which goes largely unnoticed. The match committee aren't clowns, he wouldn't be getting a game unless he was following his instructions.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Great changes, great team. Should do it comfy.

 

[Bob Fossil]

He hasn't really been playing that defensive role though, he doesn't really appear to have any job at all.
