Preview R4: Changes vs. Gold Coast Suns (Match of the Round!!!)

[FR0GGY]

Ethan Read and Ben King are both 200cm +

Borlase is 192cm. Butts is a better defender than Borlase and better suited for the matchup.

It makes a lot of sense.

Butts was beaten by a sanfl player yesterday though, so where do we go from here?

Butts did not play well on Saturday.

He is better for the run

But in all honesty Borlase played well on 31 year old 191cm Jack Darling. King is a different beast altogether.

Give me the player out of form who has the physical ability to at least matchup on King rather than the SANFL quality player who just physically can't go with King.

Butts did not play well on Saturday.

Borlase played well/okay on 33 year old 191cm Jack Darling in a 40 point drubbing.

He played on Zurhaar

Butts won't run out an AFL game

Asking for trouble

But Borlase has been fine in pretty much every game he’s played when he’s been called upon.
People seem to go on about his fitness, yet the backs rarely come off, they don’t need to be as fit as others.

I am worried about his size not his fitness. IMO - only Murray and Butts are good enough to play on the 200cm forwards.

And Borlase will be fresh as a daisy when King massacres him and kicks 7 on him.

More faith in Keane then?
Because Amartey kicked 9 on him, yes Amartey.
Either one of Borlase and Keane has to play.

So you'll play a guy who was one of few beaten by his opponent in a SANFL game??

Right then

 

[FR0GGY]

The sanfl side was a 100 pt drubbing

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The surprise was Borlase playing this game

No one was expecting that

Ok, Butts is a bit underdone. Has he got enough under the belt now for a direct match up with King?

Maybe we decide he doesn't and stick with Sunday's personnel. Cross our fingers that Keane/Borlase can do the job.

All things being equal we'd go with Butts I'm sure

 

[JPetro83]

Nicks would be so excited this week knowing he can bring Murphy in.

 

[aabp1978]

I think Keane goes out for Butts (just for match-ups). Nankervis also comes in (sub). Milera stays. Draper plays the Rachele role (but swapping over more with Rankine).

Borlase played on — and beat convincingly — Cam Zurhar

 

[Cleric]

We tried him in the AFL system and it didn't work.

He hasn't played there for the best part of 8 years.

When was he played in the forward lines, how many goals did he kick?
He was put into the backlines and played well so we kept him there.
To say he was tried in the forward line and failed is BS.

We put him in the backlines because he wasnt a good forward.

Pretty simple.

Who was the player that beat Butts on the day exactly?

Tom Scully kicked 1 goal off an over the back kick he ran onto in the goal square?

 

[Jarman3]

How long is N Murray supposed to be out for? Any chance for this week?

I'd rest Tex, replace him with a smaller player to give us a bit more mobility and an extra potential midfield rotation in the warmer weather up there. I guess whoever is in the best form out of Pedlar , Berry or Taylor.

If it were up to me I'd also drop Milera after a pretty nothing performance against the Roos and give Nankervis another opportunity. Or possibly even Ryan, depending on how he's going. We have to have a look at him and Edwards at some point this year. But yeah, chances are that seniority probably saves Milera unless he has a solid 3-4 bad games in a row.

Up to 6 weeks one of the commentators said re Murray but best to wait for Burgo's injury update on Tuesday usually.

Butts was ordinary at best on the weekend.

Wow 6 weeks, seemed like it would be 2-3 weeks the other day.

 

[Mutineer]

Butts was ordinary at best on the weekend.

He didn't star but as usual got the job done with little fanfare on a 200cm+ opponent who had zero influence on the game roaming far and wide for the few touches he had. How many 200cm+ players will the Suns have out there this week?

No way was Butts beaten by his opponent as you claim.

 

[Mutineer]

Wow 6 weeks, seemed like it would be 2-3 weeks the other day.

Like I said all ears will be on Burgo's injury update on Tuesday.
