Preview Preview and changes vs The Gold Coast Suns in QLD

[Chadwiko]

JMac and maybe Turner likely to be unavailable due to injury.

 

[The Nostradamus]

here we go boys best 22 finally next week
out: Macmillan
in: Ahern or Hall

get up for 200th milestone for Ziebs

 

[kangaspurs]

This is the type of game under Brad where, after a couple of really good wins, we'd get complacent and it would result in a head-scratching loss. It will be interesting to see the attitude in the group next week.

 

[Psicosis]

Ahern for Macmillan

OUT: MacMillan and Turner
IN: Garner and Hall

OUT: MacMillan and Turner
IN: Garner and Hall

Have to wait and see how the VFL goes, but I'd absolutely love to see what these two blokes can bring with a license to play on instinct.

As do I.
I love Ahern but I just can’t see us playing him Cunnington, Ziebell and LDU in team just yet. Midfield becomes susceptible on the spread. That’s unless he plays half back. Up to Ahern and Rhyce.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I reckon I might wait to see how the reserves go.

[Reagan Smash]

Turner has been anonymous the last fortnight

 

[Bigeasy]

Out: JMac (inj)
In: Hall

 

[billnats]

JMac out makes it interesting... does he bring in:
- Murphy: Like for like (a Brad move)
- Hall: playing him off half back for some extra run
- Taylor: throw Sugar down back again and play another crumbing forward. Our more direct forward movement may benefit from it

 

[Gasometer]

Danger game

North by 5 points

 

[Moti]

Will wait for the VFL but not sure we have a HB ready to go this week. Next year Crocker and Murphy, if fit, will leap frog JMac but unlikely this week.

So with that in mind, thinking Turner might spend time back if fit, meaning we can add another forward or mid. I would take the best dynamic player from todays game, meaning Ahern, Hall, Scott, Garner or Taylor

 

[scottywiper]

Out. JMac, Turner
In. Ahern, Durdin.
Scooter can play Jmac role.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Turner has been anonymous the last fortnight

Tell the guys he tackled.

I said this in the autopsy thread, but it will be ironic if the first game that has had us out of our seats with the team’s all-ground attitude and attack is the one that finally sees Macmillan and Turner out. A classic no changes game otherwise.

Looking forward to reports from ARDEN STREET today.

Turner has been anonymous the last fortnight

He set the tone early with a good tackle. Was asked to cover down back when JMac went down (as evidenced by JMac giving him instructions in the rooms at half time). It's a shame he is injured because he should be taking JMac's role down back. Like Marley doesn't give an inch.

Happy to disagree on this one. Ok he can tackle but surely we are looking for more than that. 8 disposals and was ineffective in 1:1 contests that led to Richmond marks inside 50 - just too small to play the role asked IMO. Just don't see him in our best 22.

With a pre-season playing with the defenders I see him exactly there. He has all the trademarks of a lock down defender and it's exactly what we need. Wright is on his last legs. JMac is questionable when playing deep on smalls and Marley has been a bit of a lone wolf in recent seasons. There's a reason why we had to play Mountford, Clarke, and even Wagner down back. It's because we struggle with smalls. Pittard helps. Turner is genuinely good 1v1 . He isn't best 22 as a forward because he doesn't offer enough. As a defender he's a shot. It's a defender or delist imo. He fills a need we have.

 

[giantroo]

Must win for Jack next week. 200th game at Metricon.

 

[Moti]

We have traditionally sucked at Metricon. Always nervous.

 

[WD Roo]

Can’t wait until the selection committee has to think about BMac, Durdin, Walker, Scott, Crocker, Taylor, Kyron. For gods sake get Kyron in. I would hate to see him delisted at the end of the year.
