Preview R9: Changes vs. Richmond

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Flying Walker up to Brisbane looking like a masterful piece of player management

 

[1990crow]

Just proved you have no idea what you’re talking about

Or proves you don't. He consistently fumbled and turned it over - probably would have won comfortably with a better player in his role tonight.

 

[ABAB]

No way you drop Berry, we will get a 1st rounder for him.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

He's also pretty bad one on one.

Probably getting close to ruling a line through him.

Yeah, I’d prefer to try others than keep Bond and Taylor in the side.

 

[UcantCme]

In - Fog, N Murray, Dawson
Out. Walker, Butts, Z Taylor

 

[UcantCme]

No way you drop Berry, we will get a 1st rounder for him.

Especially knowing we had a 5 day break heading into the showdown

 

[TRP1996]

Bond surely has to be dropped - just 5 disposals tonight.

Less Bond possessions also means less turnovers, to be fair.

 

[dylan123]

Or proves you don't. He consistently fumbled and turned it over - probably would have won comfortably with a better player in his role tonight.

So we should equally drop all the other midfielders that have been even worse this season then?

Berry has probably been our most consistent midfielder this year. And that might be a reason why we are where we are, but that's not on him - that's on the other guys who aren't delivering like they should be.

 

[dylan123]

Pretty bad run with guys returning from injury going straight back out. ANB played through but guessing he's unlikely for Richmond now too?

 

[Redleg Crow]

Berry is not going to be dropped. Let’s move on.

 

[Scorpus]

Pretty bad run with guys returning from injury going straight back out. ANB played through but guessing he's unlikely for Richmond now too?

It's Richmond, probably should rest a few

McAndrew out for O'Brien. Can we rest Thilthorpe as well?

 

[VKCrow]

Filthy needs a rocket up him. Emo bugger.

 

[Greenfinger]

Or proves you don't. He consistently fumbled and turned it over - probably would have won comfortably with a better player in his role tonight.

Righto . You and scorpus know better than all the football public and judges . Nice one

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

In - Fog, N Murray, Draper, Nankervis
Outs - Tex, Butts, ANB - all injured, Bond

Ps. Should get Edwards back in by managing someone like Peatling or Taylor.

Does Dawson want to come back or take more time off?

 

[dylan123]

It's Richmond, probably should rest a few

McAndrew out for O'Brien. Can we rest Thilthorpe as well?

Yeah if his back isn't right, rest Thilthorpe.

If it is right, maybe we'd be better off playing him and try get him into some form as he looked really shot for confidence tonight.

 

[Cyclonus]

Filthy needs a rocket up him. Emo bugger.

See him at the end talking with Toby about how he couldn't mark a beach ball?

 

[Crow till I die]

Out: Walker (hamstring), Butts (groin), Berry
In: Fogarty, N. Murray, Dawson

Went a bit early with berry there

 

[TBM]

1 - Bond out, Edwards or Nankervis in
(dont need the extra lockdown defender, plus Bond is very limited)

2 - Butts out, N.Murray in
(if Butts doesn't come up. Can play NM as a FWD or back as needed)

3 - Tex out, Dowling in
(we can go smaller against Richmond - give Fog another week)

4 - Zac Taylor out, Sid Draper in
(Draper needs to be developed in the 1's. It's not seeming to click for him in the 2's. We backed Curtin in for every game last season and look at him now)

 

[daniel_4tw]

Out: Butts, Walker, Bond, Taylor
In: N Murray, Fogarty, Dawson, Edwards (or Draper)

Dawson to play back. Draper makes more sense for Taylor and can play his position.

 

[1990crow]

Out: Bond, Butts (inj), Walker
In: Dawson, Murray, Fogarty

FB: Worrell Borlase Michalanney
HB: Milera Murray Cumming
C: Cook Dawson Curtin
R: McAndrew Soligo Rachele
HF: Rankine Thilthorpe Pedlar
FF: Keays Fogarty Murray
B: ANB Peatling Berry Laird Taylor

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

In - Fog, N Murray, Draper, Nankervis
Outs - Tex, Butts, ANB - all injured, Bond

Ps. Should get Edwards back in by managing someone like Peatling or Taylor.

Does Dawson want to come back or take more time off?

ANB injured again?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

ANB injured again?

Played with knee injury tonight.

Rest him against Richmond.

 

[bigman]

In - Fog, N Murray, Dawson
Out. Walker, Butts, Z Taylor

My boy Milk set up what should’ve been the sealer with a huge effort.

 

[huludicidal]

My boy Milk set up what should’ve been the sealer with a huge effort.

Came here to say exactly this. Plus the way he lowered his eyes to calmly hit a couple of targets in the 3rd when nobody else had a shred of composure spoke volumes.

Taylor being used in an absolute garbage role. It’s not possible for a player in that role to get the ball 20 times. Dropping him is dumb. He’s better in key moments than 95% of our squad. Superb decision maker.

 

[conVINCEd]

We need to draft another small defender, especially with Laird almost done.

Mark O’Connor. Unrestricted Free Agent and can keep Keane company.
