Birchall only played a half at BHH.

I'm not overly keen to rush Stratton in, but given he is captain I reckon he'll play. But if Wingard and Scrimshaw are both ready it will be an interesting week for the match committee. Can't see 3 people I'd be rushing to drop. Thought all of O'brien, Moore, Howe and Hanrahan were good enough to get another gig.

O’Brien got ripped to shreds by Darling. No way he stays.

Isn’t Wings out for 5-6 weeks?

Howe out? Thought he gave plenty today and probably helped with JOM getting off the chain a little

Disagree. The first two goals were when he went off Darling to go to the next man. They were losses attributed to a team defense. From memory, TOB only got clearly beaten a couple of times and did some really good things under pressure. Would be exceptionally surprised if he makes way.

 

[Roughie]

Am I the only one that thought Birchall looked a little bit thick in his return highlight clips? Not Stewie dew thick but definitely around the waist. I think he needs to prove his run in three full vfl games before coming back. He has had lower leg injuries after all. We need to prove his fitness and he also needs to dust the rust off in competitive situations.

Agreed the midfield got buried in clearances, and the lack of support over top wasnt addressed. We had defensive paranoia of the likes of Rioli and Ryan at front and centre they didn’t think about the talls peeling for the ball over top which they did intentionally

 

[Spursfan]

Their midfield vs ours is a worry

 

[WWSD]

A debut game might not be too far off for Jones. He backed it up again in the VFL.

29 disposals - 8 tackles - 6 inside 50s - 1 goal

 

[brew]

No change

 

[cryptor]

This game was made for Wingard. Friday night, prime-time, under the lights in front of 70k. Hope he gets up for it.

 

[WWSD]

Their midfield vs ours is a worry

The Pies midfield has been a worry since 2011.

Won 11 of 12. That one loss was a 43 point lead that was squandered.

 

[hfc70]

Jones debuts.

With Pies midfield and the work he did today, Howe has to stay. O'Brien out for a med defender like Stratton or Scrimshaw would make sense given Pies forwards. Birchall won't be ready yet

If we can get a semi decent team out on the park we should be competitive. Need to somehow nullify Grundy enough to not get smashed again the middle. BigBoy has been a little off the past few weeks, seems like we rushed him back from his injury as he hasn't been the same since. Felt like a battler out there today and he is better than that.

Sure if Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis & co from 5 years ago run out we'll be good to go

 

[Hawk_francais]

As few changes as possible. The boys fought it out and showed heart today.

 

[suburb whispers]

Wingard for Moore.
Scrimshaw for Glass.
Maybe Lewis for Nash but that won’t happen..

 

[TylerDurden]

Wingard for Moore.
Scrimshaw for Glass.
Maybe Lewis for Nash but that won’t happen..

Stratts?

 

[lethalselbow]

O’Brien got ripped to shreds by Darling. No way he stays.

Watch the game? How did Darling get his goals? Two over the top gimmes and a questionable free kick from Sicily. Obrien was alright. Got beaten, but hardly ripped to shreds.

 

[suburb whispers]

Stratts?

Stratts for TOB

 

[Changa10]

I reckon if the Pies only kick 37 points next week we could almost snatch it!
