Preview Rd 16 Changes/Preview v the Aints

[DesertRoo]

Turner had more ice on him post game then Bomber Thompson so wouldn't surprise he has a rest. Certainly wouldn't be form related, he has had a massive month. More touches, tackles and hitting the scoreboard.

If we’re rotating more than one player at a time, even a win?
using more then 23 players for the season, keeping the whole list fresh for the pointy end?

I think it’s time to give Shaw the job now.

 

[RobZombie]

What role did JMac play in the VFL?

Was he on a wing or sheep dogging half back?

4 marks & 8 tackles. Doesn’t look like he was waxing across hb.

Shaw: We are looking to show our best again this week. We will play every opposition on their merits. I watched St Kilda against Richmond and they really took it up to them, and they’ll be a big challenge.

 

[giantroo]

Shaw: There’s two sessions for Maj to get through, one today and one on Saturday. We are looking forward to him hopefully getting through them and out in the VFL on Sunday.

 

[giantroo]

Shaw: Dom Tyson and Aaron Hall are a chance to return through the VFL provided they get through the remaining sessions.

 

[giantroo]

Shaw: I think the best teams play their way no matter what. That’s our mentality. We’ll keep the basics the same, but obviously we will tweak things for different teams and exploit them where we can.

 

[giantroo]

Shaw: I’m really enjoying coming to work every day. It’s a fantastic challenge and opportunity for me. I’m loving seeing the boys enjoying their footy.

 

[Firestarter]

I wonder if we could see 3-4 changes.

 

[DesertRoo]

I wonder if we could see 3-4 changes.

Would be a good way to keep the intensity up for the rest of the season.

 

[The Y Factor]

I wonder if we could see 3-4 changes.

With the lvl of intensity we have been playing, its been on my mind how we will keep people fresh - some of the guys must pull up sore??

Turner did look like he was taking an ice bath on the side lines and I'm sure the young guys, maybe not Zurhaar who seems like an anvil, must be sore but I've never played footy let alone at that pace and style.

If its true about Hosie, it'll be interesting, hes looked great at times in the VFL. He finds space and leads very directly and easily.

Not as sore as the Collingwood players tho.

 

[Flawed Genius]

I'll go with

Out Turner (rest) Hayden (inj)
In Ahern Hosie

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I'll go with

Out Turner (rest) Hayden (inj)
In Ahern Hosie

Seems the most logical choices to me, even though Turner has had a very good year by his standards. Then maybe TT next week, being a first year player and all that.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

'I don't like taking guys in who are are half fit and we can possibly avoid it'

Excellent.

 

[Ardent Roo]

I'll go with

Out Turner (rest) Hayden (inj)
In Ahern Hosie

That'll do me also, I'd even rest Zurhaar in place of Turner - seemed a little off on Saturday night and happy to give him a week in the VFL.

 

[kangafruity]

I think the VFL was the best thing that happened to Jy and look at him now. Make them a little hungry for the big time even if it is only a week.
I hope Jmac doesnt get in just because.

 

[Chadwiko]

Don't put too much stock into being iced up at the end of the game; in the post-match room there were plenty of guys walking around with ice on their calves or hammies.

 

[Val Keating]

We’ve played some awesome footy lately. Could be a great opportunity this week to make a statement and crush the Saints. I’ll be disappointed if the same level isn’t there.

 

[The acurate one]

Ahern is the only change.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Ahern is the only change.

Fine

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Ahern is the only change.

Fair enough, I'm sure there'll be some injury management stuff later on in the year.

 

[Billy Not Really]

I'll go with

Out Turner (rest) Hayden (inj)
In Ahern Hosie

Would be very happy to see Ahern play again finally against a Saints midfield hellbent on Cunnington/Jed.

Hosie's earned a game, despite what stats might say his performance and form is impressive. His first games for the club were remarkable, just fit right in perfectly as a forward for us.

He's got the ability to cause some damage on the scoreboard in place of Turner.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I wonder if we could see 3-4 changes.

I doubt it. Although as I said previously, given our physical game style, they'd probably be looking to give kids like Thomas and LDU a rest on the way home, and this is our lowest ranked opponent for a month.
