Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 15 vs. Fremantle, MRVL 26/06 @ 1:45pm

Unfortunately after his best game in maybe two years de goey will probably have Next game off due to the hit on Oliver

Are we not counting the North game because that would be like counting a VFL game?

 

[grayza2018]

What do we do with 3 ruckmen in the team? Seems an overkill even if it's difficult to drop either Cameron or Lynch. How do you suggest the 3 players should be used?

Must say I agree. Would be harsh to drop Lynch (Cameron plays) once he's finally getting a run at it, but someone needs to go out for Grundy and Maxy would be that someone

I almost listed that as an "out" but I wouldn't be surprised if it's ruled insufficient force... Hopefully.

I actually agree. On second thoughts I'd probably drop Lynch just because Grundy is a better player, but gee it'd be hard to do.

 

[Shannin]

I don't think Sidey should be an automatic selection any more, he must be on track to win the most clangers ever in a season.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Tough selection decisions coming up in a couple of weeks...

Out: Rantall, Murphy/Thomas, Lynch ( very Unlucky)

In: Adams, Grundy, Johnson ( See what he has, also let him maintain his fitness base)

 

[Piestration]

We look so much better when we don't use a Ruckman as a link up player and only use them for break glass in Emergency down the line long. Get the ball in the hands of our quicks and skillful.

I hope we learn and don't resort to using Grundy as another mid again. He is slower than Mayne and doesn't have the awareness or speed to keep things rolling forward.

 

[johncitizen]

Lynch does not deserve to get dropped.

 

[jjsmitty8]

Reckon JDG and Crisp are both getting a week. JDG for the bump, Crisp for the dangerous tackle. Wouldn’t surprise me if he gets done for rough conduct.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Haven’t checked the stats but our clearance work looked good today. Why can’t we do that with a dominant Grundy as the ruck?

Was it just me... or did anybody else notice that Lynch either 1) didn't tap it down to his feet 2) actually tapped it to team-mates that weren't stationary ( one goal in the 3rd quarter came from a great tap to De Goey who handballed to McGreevy, who slotted it).

 

[KillerMagpies]

Assuming that nobody gets rubbed out:
In: Adams, Grundy
Out: Bianco, Lynch ( very, very stiff! )

 

[Good_Old]

We're not paying Grundy as much as we are for him to sit at home and I can'timagine we'll go with that many talls. Grundy will come in for Lynch.

out: DeGoey (susp), Crisp (susp)

The DeGoey one on Oliver? Reckon he'll only cop a fine.

What was the Crisp incident, the sling tackle?

 

[Carringbush2010]

Will be very very interesting if Harves keeps Lynch in and makes Grundy go through the magoos, can't see it but it would send a clear message to the group, earn / keep your spot on merit.

Reckon Sides would be on thin ice if that was the mantra, a few clangers today that cost us even though he had 3 score assists this is not the normal Sides, he's down on form.

Unless *Murphy is still injured by that time.

In: Tay Grundy
Out: Lynch *Rantall

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Honestly, I didn’t even notice these reportable events. Sling tackle bs on IQ & Crisp was rigged.

More losses we can ill afford!

Yes. I think he'll be suspended too.

 

[jackcass]

Won't be too many changes but Grundy and Adams will be included if they're fit. Sier likely in the mix to if his jaw isn't broken. Who knows on the outs. Grundy for Lynch the only really obvious change. Murph/Rantall the other under pressure. Murph was a corky so you'd imagine he'd be right.

 

[LuckyLee]

Disappointingly, I think DeGoey will cop a week for his bump on Oliver. Ran past the ball to deliberately bump and got Oliver in the jaw with his shoulder. Luckily Oliver bounced straight back up. Could have been much worse.

OUT: DeGoey (Susp.) Rantall (Omit) Lynch (unlucky)

IN: Adams Sier Grundy

[MyManLynch]

What about Cal Brown?
Didn‘t deserve to be dropped last week (should have remained as sub).
He’s a good option for sub.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Grundy will come in, but oh boy I'd love for him to win the tap and then let the mids get the clearance rather than getting in their way.

 

[grayza2018]

Thomas going to get as much of a free ride under Harvey as he got with Bucks? Not that I'd necessarily drop him for the next game as he's played a couple of decent ones now, but he was getting gifted some games earlier in the year, and if he drops off a bit would he keep getting a game?

 

[sloth6]

Think De Goey might get a Week for his Head High Bump

Fine I reckon Dave. Oliver got up pretty quickly once he knew he'd been paid the free kick.

Rantall is not up to it, but I'm happy to keep playing him. If he doesn't get better, its a simple decision not to extend his contract.

Bianco had a bad one, but been good enough overall. F**k Josh Thomas keeps his spot without touching it, why should'nt Bianco.

Grundy IN, Adams IN
Murphy OUT, Lynch OUT (stiff, he was brilliant yesterday)

Bucks has one of his greatest wins then…
Lynch plays his best AFL game then…
Footy is a tough caper.

 

[Apples]

Reckon JDG and Crisp are both getting a week. JDG for the bump, Crisp for the dangerous tackle. Wouldn’t surprise me if he gets done for rough conduct.

I have to say that I'm totally confused about the rules after watching yesterday's game.
The Crisp tackle was a sling and so I understand it being paid. The Maynard tackle was just a good solid tackle. I'd put that down as an umpiring mistake. Ditto the free against Maynard for attacking the ball. That was just good tough play. That free was also an error in my book; there was no injury concern. As for DeGoey's shoulder, surely that can't be sanctioned. I know the AFL is paranoid over head injuries and concussions, but yesterday looked as if we're heading into a no contact game. No hard tackles, no hard attack on the ball and no bumps.

 

[gouki88]

This is a very tricky week for the selection panel. Good to have the extra week to think it over. Grundy and Adams are basically automatic ins if they're good to go. No idea what will happen suspension-wise for De Goey or Crisp, or how severe Murphy's knock really is. Rantall should make way, especially if we bring Sier back in. Tricky situation
