Maybe Schache is more in the plans or even Sweet..It would be the definition of insanity to bring JUH in against a hardened Tigers defence.
He would get chewed up and spat out.
The whole reason Lipinski gets dropped regularly is because his defensive pressure isn't good enough and he's not suited to playing wing...I think I'm done with Smith. He doesn't pressure, doesn't run back hard enough to help the defence, only gives 1 or 2 genuine chases a game. He runs fast with ball in hand and to receive but doesn't really do much with it. He's coasting right now. Hasn't impressed me since round 1 and I'd drop him and get Lipinski to take over that wing.
Correct, his fumbling all night was a very important contribution.Scott was the first game where he actually looked to be contributing, same with McNeil.
Young played a shocker in the reserves. It's no good being a decent intercept player if you're hopeless 1v1.Cordy has lost confidence, I would n't drop him but I prefer Young or Khamis
Out: Dunkley (inj), Jong (inj), English (conc.)
In:
Lipinski
Wallis
Sweet (could not be worse than what English was tonight)
On notice - Vandermeer. Something NQR with him
Edit - possibly Cordy out as well for Young.
JUH isn't ready. Wascookledin the final quarter. Needs kms in the legs.Maybe Schache is more in the plans or even Sweet..
But this precious wrap Jamarra in cotton wool attitude ,is becoming ridiculous.
He could play,can play and in many people's opinions should play.
Against any side and would relish a Friday night blockbuster..

Yeah he looked like his minutes were being managed.I think the Hannan shouts are too early, he has some work done on his groin the other night in the VFL and his conditioning won’t be up to scratch yet
Lipinski played Dunkley's direct role in the VFL and was BOG so it is not he is the next best midfielder he is an inside mid trying to be played outside when in the AFL teamReplacing Dunkley cannot/should not be as simple as just picking the next best midfielder from the reserves. Lipinski is not even half as effective as Dunkley defensively, and we have to replace those defensive qualities as best we can if we want to avoid breaking the midfield dynamic that's worked so well for us all year.
For me, either Wallis or West are the natural replacements for Dunkley in midfield, nobody else. Wallis has had his struggles in the forward line lately, but he was moved into the middle for the second half against GWS in the VFL and was top notch.
A gassed JUH at the G is a concern.Schache has the engine for the G.JUH isn't ready. Wascookledin the final quarter. Needs kms in the legs.
I'll go with Lippi, West and Schache for English, Jong and Dunks.
McNeil may be rested (was sore and only had 65% TOG).
There's doing it at VFL level and doing it at AFL level. Lipinski was best on ground in the VFL on the back of consistently elite disposal; at AFL level we need to replace Dunkley's tackling pressure, 1%ers and ferocious attack on the ball. Lipinski is not the best candidate for this, Wallis and West are.Lipinski played Dunkley's direct role in the VFL and was BOG so it is not he is the next best midfielder he is an inside mid trying to be played outside when in the AFL team

And maybe your right.And we have other options.Its not a question of wrapping him in cotton wool. Its a question of playing him when he's ready to play his role.
So of course he can play on Friday night, its a matter of how effective he would actually be against the best side in the competition.
Let me tell you what is ridiculous. Watching JUH's scratchy form during a game against an understrength GWS seconds side full of top up players and coming to the conclusion that his time is right now.
And maybe your right.And we have other options.
But as l said we will never know ,as he has been wrapped in cotton wool.
Yes maybe he is not fit enough.l don't know.
I would trust the conditioning staff.
But he is kicking goals.Anyways just my humble opinion.
If l was our vice captain l would see the opening .And sieze it with both hands.
Before he broke his leg in 2016 Wallis was very good in the middle.
Will be interesting. We had a tough game, but the short week this week is made up by a long week against richmond - they dont play until sunday, and hopefully the dees give them a good workout.

You seem to be ruling out Lipinski despite his vfl game. If you’re saying he should never play inside mid at afl level we may as well get rid now as it’s his best position. VFL and training performances are all we can go on and he’s ticked the vfl box.Oh, no kidding? And Lipinski could also come in for Jong and English, the same way Jong came in for Lipinski to begin with.
