Could gov play on georgiadis if it starts to get out of hand ?

I personally don't think gov is a good defender. The few times we've done it years ago he was loose man not accountable.

At Adelaide he played a bit back there but I dont remember ever being that impressed...he's a forward for mine.

Willo can take Georgiades. They’re about the same height and it gives Willo a job to do rather than run around like a headless chook.

The AFL website says Jonas is 188cm. He plays much taller than that.

I like these changes for now.
I’d like to know what specifically is holding back stocker.

 

[Blue Reaper]

We’ll miss JSOS, but the changes strengthen the team overall.

Not the end for Dow & Setters; confident they’ll adjust, learn and come back stronger.

Who plays on Gray?

Depends where he is playing from. My view is that one of Jones or Weitering should be the deepest defender at every stoppage.

If it is a cluttered forward line and Gray is deep, Weiters takes whoever is there with him. If it is an open forward line, Jones has more pace. Nobody is betting Gray to the ball and while Plowman is good against the likes of Michael Walters, Gray has far more tricks and strength. If Plow plays on Gray, then Levi is down back on Marshall/Lycett or McGovern is down back on Georgiades.

In those circumstances Kennedy is playing the JSOS 3rd tall forward role.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Id be just as scared if not more to put him on the experienced Gray lol.

Not ideal but this is where we are at with Parks, marchbank and Newman injured.

Good call. Plowman on Gray early, assess how Williamson fares.

And this would be my setups

Weits on the deepest tall
Jones on the other
Plow on Gray

Gov on Georgiades, but suspect they will start with Willo, which concerns me

 

[FRUMPY]

I'm too scared to play Williamson on Georgiades, that could be a disaster for us.

You can relax, you don't choose the match ups

This is my concern

Both of you are good judges yet we all see this so differently

Their forward setup is what I would focus on this week, get the match ups right ( with pressure from the mids) and it goes a long way to beating them

Or smash them in the middle

Sadly, this wretched club dictates my weekend.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

We’ll miss JSoS pressure and forward work. He is a big loss with what he does for us.

Don't care how many goals Gov kicks, I just want to see him get busy, tackle with intent and bruise a few opponents. Also want Pitto to get physical against that Lycett malaka (code: I'm not really Greek)

Shots fired!

For me he is what's been missing with our ball movement. Someone on the move and lead up target between the arcs. H and casboult havent done much outside of the 50m arc (casboult SFA)

It just depends if it's the normal gov, a small cameo otherwise does nothing or a contributor.

Expect we’ll have a hard time with their tall fwds tomorrow night but I hope they prove me wrong. We should still win this on paper. Gotta do it though !

May be but their goal kicking has been terrible for a while.
We kick straight,we win!

 

[katmanblue]

Shame about Parks.
Pretty much what we expected though.

Not expected, but hoped for.

 

[Sin City]

I agree with the calls for Ed to sit on Boak but I’m surprised Houston doesn’t get much of a mention on here. He’s probably the best wing in the league so far this year and one of the most damaging players in the comp so far. I hope Cottrell is sent to him and advised to play him very tight all day.

 

[teknodeejay]

Setterfield and Dow both deserved to be dropped, so I like the changes there. Shame Parks has a nick he’s been good. Reckon Kennedy and Gov will be hungry for this.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Staggered they went with Willo who I thought needed an extended stint in the 2s. DT must really be worried about Ports talls.

Win the midfield battle and it won’t be an issue. Excited for the challenge.

Parks is out, someone had to come in for him

 

[katmanblue]

What sort of crowd are we expecting?

A blue one.

 

[juzz88]

A blue one.

Speculative.

I would’ve picked someone in form. Willos extra height isn’t winning us this game.
