Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Sydney, Rd 5 2019 & changes for Melbourne

[Rubber Hips]

Balta is going to be a player. Imagine him with 2-3 years under his belt. He’s 19. Jesus

 

[DontArgue4]

He said he was ready to go tonight but the 4 day break wasn't ideal so he opted out tonight.

Missed this..... so he said he is in for anzac despite what dimma said about him being no chance?

 

[Barnzy]

I didnt think lynch was that bad

Crashed several packs and should have kicked that sitter after a great pack mark

If he was buddy he also woulda had about 4 frees infront of goals the way they were blocking him

He was pretty bad.

Beaten one on one a lot and statistically the worst Richmond ranked player on the ground after 64 inside 50's.

But it can be forgiven as he's been solid and still doesn't look 100% to me.

 

[Tforce]

Out Bloody Balta and Ellis

In CJ and Naish

 

[turtle27]

We've found some real hardness in Stack and Ross.

It blows my mind how mature and smart Jack Ross is with the footy. Stack could be anything and everything. So much promise about him.

That's exactly what he said.

He did stuff up a couple of chances i gotta say, but looked like he was working his ass off so he gets a pass from me

Agree...the only tall forward ...was always going to get double teamed
Did what he needed to do...

 

[damicky]

IF we did deliberately have a rest in the last quarter, it was a great idea.
Our opponent rested for all 4 quarters today.

Wot

Well......

This makes me Happy.

Cotchin and jack not ready this week but please replace Castanga rabbit in headlights when he gets ball

 

[smurfin]

With the 4 day turnaround, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the younger players such as Ross, Stack, Balta are given a rest. There may be others with soreness or niggles that need a rest.
Riewoldt, Cotch (maybe?), Graham - all ready to come back in. Also Menadue a possibility.

Lynch had an ordinary night, just seems to be caught in the wrong position a few times.
If its not hurting our rotations, I don't mind Balta getting minimal gametime for 1st half and then being supersub for the last term. But he will need to go back to the reserves to get more game time at some stage. Hopefully as a direct CCJ swap for a couple of matches.

I'm much preferring Edwards as the 7th backman instead of Ellis. Still a good backline without AA Rance.

 

[Handsuper47]

Stack, Ross, Balta - who are these blokes and why do I love them so much?

 

[Barnzy]

Cotchin and jack not ready this week but please replace Castanga rabbit in headlights when he gets ball

Castagna had 8 tackles and capped it off with a goal.

Dimma ain't dropping our best pressure player.

 

[_RT_]

Got a lead in the first half then controlled the game in the second half as a way to manage players for Wednesday night. Be interesting to see how selection unfolds as once again nobody deserves to be dropped but it's possible Jack is available. Think we need Balta to give Nankervis a chop out against Gawn and Preuss. Not really sure who goes out but they might give Lynch a rest with the short turn around.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Jack likely to play

 

[smurfin]

Tom Browne has said 5 day break a couple of times.
Can't even count

 

[Tigers_fan24]

Few bodies rested in that last qtr, Coach’ well aware of the 6 day break

4 day break

 

[Barnzy]

Stack, Edwards, Houli is a serious rebounding unit by the way.

I'm a big Short fan but his injury is seriously unfortunate for him.

 

[tony__montana]

Who to drop?

Bolton would be stiff
George should...but unlikely

Lambert looked proppy

I saw Houli grab at his right hammy near the end

 

[OhhDeledio]

Dimma says Jack highly likely

Surely not

 

[Nostradumbass]

I don’t know what happened but it seems like Higgins lost a lot of confidence since the Collingwood game. He does not look like he is taking the game on like he used to.

Hope he gains his flair back soon because he is fun to watch when he is up and about.

Needs a run in the twos

 

[TJTIGER]

Unbelievable second quarter set up the win, exhilarating play.

Hard fought game, but I didn't feel we were really seriously in danger......GO TIGES !!
