Post your changes here
IMHO
Outs: Mihocek( inj) Petty, Laurie
Ins:: Kentfeild, Taylor/Adams, Matthews/ Bowey

 

[Lord Nev]

OUT: Mihocek (inj), Laurie, Gawn (rest)
IN: Kentfield, Matthews, Bowey

Apparently Rivers could be a chance to play this week, but surely that would be VFL level after so long out.

 

[Dory_77]

Kentfield for Mihocek
Matthews for Laurie
Adams for Petty.

Maybe give Gawn a rest too. Heath looks solid and Kentfield can give a chop out.

 

[melbun]

Kentfield for Mihocek
McDonald for Petty

[ray_purchase]

In - Kentfield, Bowey, AMW

Out - Mihocek, Laurie, Jiath


Incredible that multiple people don't have Bowey coming in. Hes a certainty.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Out - Laurie, Mihocek, CJ
In - Matthews, Kentfield, Bowey

[MarcMaverick]

That sucks, love seeing Checkers play

Out - Mihocek, Laurie, Jiath

True, probably comes in for Joath this week.

If we're stocking with Gawn resting forward it might be best to go with a smaller forward line and have Kentfield out, with Matthews in for Mihocek (and maybe give Laurie a final, final chance). Swans rebounded very easily and quickly last week; Eagles aren't as good but could be handy having extra pressure on the deck and not have 3 talls fly for every ball.

I'm surprised people are giving Petty another chance, he clearly does not look right. Personally I would put him on the LTI for the rest of the year.

I did my changes based on what I think will happen, and I don't think they'll drop Petty. Had the most marks, intercept marks and intercepts for us, and I think that will see King choose to keep him in.

Personally I think something just seems NQR with him atm, but maybe they've decided the best thing for him is to be playing? Dunno. If it was my choice, I'd be dropping him to have a look at Adams this week.

 

[Demon13304]

I thought Petty was okay but after reading the review thread maybe I need to re-watch/re-evaluate lol

 

[Undisputed]

Most likely
In - Bowey,

Out - Mihocek

Roo, Jefferson, Fritch plus a resting ruckman is all the talls you need a marvel.

What I would like to see is
In - Bowey, AMW

Out - Mihocek ,Laurie

With Bowey to play a half forward who kicks it into our forwards. Rather than 25 touches in the back half . 15 quality in the front half .

Plus our half backs will be loaded when rivers/salem/lindsey are fit

Based on what injury?

 

[Toump Ass]

Bowey in, ****ing unreal.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Based on what injury?

Yeah i didn't think he was too bad tbh.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah I love Bowser. If he's fit, he plays. Jiath can go out for him.

Again will be interesting what happens with Heath/Gawn.

 

[Lord Nev]

 

[MarcMaverick]

Is it going to enlist the services of Errol Allcott?

TBH, Checkers does sound a bit like Tugga.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Love the scale of hamstring,

[A11dAtP0w3R]

IN: Flogging shit teams like West Coast
OUT: Playing down to competition

 

[Bluelegs]

Gotta get Matthews in the side. Nearly won the game off his own boot in the VFL.

 

[schmuttt]

Out: Gawn (Rested), Mihocek, Laurie
In: Kentfield, Matthews, Bowey

CJ wasn't great but I don't see the need to make a million changes off a 17pt loss to the best team in the league at their home ground. There isn't exactly anyone in the 2s to bring in to play his role aside from Taylor who looked very raw.
