Preview Round 6 v Gold Coast Suns Marvel Saturday April 19th 7.35pm - He's Back Bitches

Blight omitted, wtf. MRJ still in after 2 disposals after quarter time, wtf. Mcintosh finally out of the centre (good) but still in the side, wtf. Am I going to be at Etihad, wtf.

Would have been 3 if he didn’t get ****ing tripped

 

[LTT]

It seems like Miller is near on undroppable these days. I don't he has much of ceiling so I'd much rather preserve with Blight or take a look at Gray

GC have three big forwards, how could we not find a spot for Blight. West Coast need key defenders and Bight is out of contract this year. If he goes who could blame him. Very poor by Yze.

That’s been the story of his career. Doesn’t get it enough and when he does he gets stiffed. But he shouldn’t be in this week

 

[Black Saab]

I agree with others that I think Ryan in is to adress our ruck issues when Nank goes off the ground. We are a different side when Nank is rucking and no matter who we try as the second ruck our team struggles and becomes more vulnerable during these periods.

Yze might have experimented with the one ruck strategy to start the season and now might be looking changes this aspect to see if we are better for it.

Blighty has been fantastic, he'll be back.

 

[Bojangles17]

Not an easy side to get into right now and with mansell and smillie banging the door down it’s the kinda tension we need to improve

 

[Nostradumbass]

Delicious

You do realise the teams line up nothing like they show us on Thursday nights?

True,

Cotchin centre half fwd for the 2019 finals.

 

[The_Kraken]

Groupie_ was right. They’re gonna wheel Balta out like this.

 

[Del65166]

A huge thanks to Mr Michael's Tigercast and crew-your regular tiger reports are extremely appreciated and it's never to be forgotten how u guys during the horrible COVID LOCKDOWN TIMES
Gave us all hope-it felt like a gathering of mates talking about our common love of RFC-u played a huge roll in getting us through.
Thank u.View attachment 2286158

Michaels IN for Sonsie?

What are we tanking?

Hopeless at Marvel.

 

[prodigy]

Would be awesome if Ryan can put it together.

Has his contested marking improved in the VFL? Despite his size he seems easily pushed around in one on one marking contests even against smaller oppo.

It definitely has from a purely objective perspective. He was impressive in the last game before the VFL bye.

Big Sammy gunna kick 7

MRJ kicked 2 out of our massive 6 goals

We going for the Misere?

 

[chriso11]

Looking forward to seeing Ryan warm up like Rocky Balboa and then play like a pea heart

Swap for Reid

Balta will fix his little red wagon.

 

[_RT_]

Fans cry out that we need to strengthen the side, we do that and people still not happy.

If fans want us picking our 2 best key defenders when fit then Balta & Miller should be picked every time. Playing all 3 of Balta Miller & Blight down back doesn't work and would mean Trainor gets impacted more than anyone else.

As much as Blight gives his all when he plays, he is a KPD, that's where he plays his best footy and the experiment of playing him as a ruck/forward hasn't worked. He has had a limited impact inside F50 and doesn't really have the understanding of the ruck role to be truly effective in that role either. So send him back to the VFL allow him to play back in D50 and get back to developing his craft down there.

Ryan for better or worse is our 2nd best ruckman and his form to start the season in the VFL as a ruck/forward has been consistent and deserving of a call up. Picking him to support both Nankervis in the ruck and Lynch up forward eases the burden on both of them and allows Faull to get a 3rd string defender instead of the number 2 option.

As for Sonsie v Lalor, well that's a no contest.

So we've strengthened out best 23 and with the likes of Mansell & Smillie in the mix to come into the side over the next couple of weeks, we're only going to have more of these selection nights where fan favourites make way for players that make the 23 stronger and that's what you want as a developing/rebuilding side.

Writing was on the wall as soon as they gave him Astbury's (and Richo's) no 12.

Dude will play 300.

 

[Sol23]

Blight is a better player than miller.

 

[cairo tiger]

Would have saved Lalor for Melbourne next week off the 5 day break.

I think Ryan had to come in. Has had some pretty big VFL games

he’s not up to it

 

[Ctl]

We are obviously worried about Witts if we've gone with 2 rucks, Blight hasn't done much wrong but he was always going to make way for Balta, Balta is a better player.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

No second effort Sampson in
He's got photos.

MRJ and McIntosh probably make for Smillie and Mansell. Fawcett could come in for Ryan as well. We tried rucking blight from the back half, wonder if we try the same with Balta given he is more experienced etc
