Preview Round 3 North vs Swans Saturday 1:45 pm: Changes & pre match discussion @Marvel

[DuckYeah]

Aliir is s**t! Throw him forward at Shitneys own peril..

What about Marley? Most on this board think he's an auto selection.

I get the concerns about Sydney's small forwards. With Marley and LMAC basically playing the same role, do we then lose too much on the rebound? Is our approach too negative?
IF we were to drop someone due to fears about matchup's, then it would be Hayden IMO, then you're dropping a defender for a defender. Marley is proven in that role and Sydney's main weapons are the Heeney, Papley duo.
On Marvel, you need runners and Scott provides that. Plus he's already proven his ability to hit the scoreboard.

Yes can't see it being Scott that's dropped

We shall see
Kyron looked more comfortable than bailey
And Kyron has more versatility and hardness

 

[BowWow1978]

Yes I agree, but he must convert and compliment the hardwork of the midfield and defensive efforts. He misses too many 35-50m set shots

He misses too many targets by foot full stop.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

No changes. We shouldn’t be afraid to back Kyron and Bailey in. We got Jmac for henney, pittard to gray, Lmac to papley. Leaves Taz, hayden and Atley to provide the rebound.

 

[BowWow1978]

If Jack could just convert the “bread and butter” set shots that he continually misses, he would be a huge plus for us. There is no reason why he shouldn’t average 3 goals a game. Imagine if he was doing that, in conjunction with BBB and Larkey!!

3 goals a game has him winning the Coleman....don't think so mate. 1.5 to 2 goals per game would be a ripper result. Unfortunately JZ's kicking is simply not up to scratch, never has been. Field kicking is worst, goal kicking is acceptable.

Don't really want either of those dropped to be honest... need to get as much into them as possible esp against in theory lesser teams

Can someone add up how many hamstrings Garner has had? He could be anything this bloke, but unfortunately his body (or likely his professionalism) are not up to coping with the AFL.

Yes he does.. he’s still *in good leader, he cracks in pretty *in hard.. the kids need to see that

 

[BowWow1978]

Given we were preparing Mason for defence this year originally, could he not be a candidate for keeping Aliir honest in attack and defence if he swings forward? He certainly has the speed and tank. Last time in Marvel, it was Majak on Aliir, which was more of “a game outside the game” scenario.

Allir too tall I reckon.

2, one in each leg.

 

[king of the road]

In an ideal world, I’d like to see Bonar for Wood.

But I don’t think it will happen.

He may have done enough to hold his spot with others not having the chance to take it by performing in the 2’s.

 

[winalotroos]

I would not be unhappy if there were no change, tuff on Marley but the team just come off a great win against a very good side.

I’d be annoyed
He’s our best small defender and we have multiple matchups for him
There were weak links in bailey playing so it’s a fairly obvious change this week for me

 

[Caracas]

Surely the clubs record v Swines at home will keep their feet on the ground.

You’d have to think. Also, Scamper has a huge amount of skin in this particular game. First game against his old club + coach. Those eyes will be even more focussed than usual. Dream scenario would be if he manages to be as successful as the first time Laidley faced Pagan. Wouldn’t that be grand?!

Slight exaggeration for effect on my part, I know. However, whenever he spends more time up forward, he misses around two easy shots a game.

I have no doubt there will be a change, and Marley is the one to come In.
but as I said it’s a winning team.

Ahern ahead of Marley is odd
they mustn’t have wanted to shift Hayden to mids

 

[giantroo]

 

[Sillygit]

well that was unexpected

 

[Pykie]

Interesting that Bailey isn’t even an emergency.

May have pulled up sore. Let’s hope he’s not injured.

Unless the plan is for him to play tomorrow, hence no emg.

 

[DuckYeah]

Ahern in? Thats quite the surprise

 

[The Nostradamus]

gives us flexibility I guess

can switch Hayden and Ahern between mid and hbf if needed
