Preview writer wanted.

 

[Revenant1965]

Ins and outs? Hard to drop anyone after last 2 weeks, but there'll at least one change.

 

[simioni11]

Doch should get up? do we rest him ?

 

[El Topo]

there's bound to be some sore players after this week

 

[jj1978]

Boyd is healthy so I’d rest Doc. Walsh hopefully is back so Ed is a chance out.

Boyd in. Walsh sub.

 

[Revenant1965]

Dow,sub?

 

[Bletch]

A chance Cuners gets a holiday. Walsh straight swap.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

We have to win this, we don’t want to go into the last round where both us and GWS have to win to make finals.
Only rest if there is a chance of injury.

Yeah, don't think anyone rests at this stage of the season - there's a bye in two weeks.

 

[BlueLocke]

Walsh for Doc
Cuningham might get a week or 2 for a dangerous tackle; Ed to HFF with Boyd sub.

Dream scenario is Cerra back in across half-forward, but sounds like he won’t be back until the GWS game.

 

[Faz 2000]

World has gone mad if DC misses given absolutely zero damage done.

Doc for Walsh.
Beyond that, depends who is ready.

Got to get this one done, get the monkey right off the back, then two weeks to tune up and be ready for war.

 

[kreuze_missile]

Walsh in for Cunningham if suspend. Otherwise Ed dropped. Fisher sub.

McGovern, Cerra and McKay straight in if fit. Boyd next in line.

Marchbank, Motts and Cottrell on my watch list.

 

[Faz 2000]

I’m excited about the players to come back, but we do need to be careful to keep the mix right. THIS line up (more or less) has taken care of Port/Pies/Saints/Dees. We seem to have hit on a line up, partly by accident, that really works. The extra run, toughness and desperation that, say Cottrell, Cinc, Dow (I know, right?) are providing shouldn’t just be shelved because a “name” comes back.

McGovern is ahead of Marchbank all day long.
Walsh and Cerra MUST play when fit.
Harry too.

Tricky though, right? Who goes out whilst keeping the essence of what’s working here?

I wonder if we don’t look a lot better with more speed, endurance and toughness in the side vs pure bred, high draft pick “stars”.

 

[Revenant1965]

Weather forecast is fine at this stage, with minimal chance of rain (basically 0). Afternoon game and not evening game. Shouldn't slip and slide like we've sometimes done in the past. Blues win is a good chance.

 

[Mentallo]

Looking forward to escaping Melb for 4 days and going to this.

 

[Wickzki]

Have tickets to go with the fam to this one. My last game likely. Not sure how much I'll actually be able to see but I'll be there.

Anyone else here attending? Want to stop by some place and say g'day? More than up for saying hello.

Ins: Walsh and Durds (if healthy) / Boyd

Outs: Doc and DC (if he cops a week).

Form going in for GC
Rd 12: GC beat Crows 112 to 87 at TIO
Rd 13: Bye
Rd 14: GC lose to Blues 120 to 61 at MCG
Rd 15: GC beat Hawks 101 to 34 at Carrara
Rd 16: GC lose to Pies 42 to 120 at Carrara
Rd 17: GC lose to Port 106 to 73 AT AO
Rd 18: GC beat Saints 77 to 51 at Carrara
Rd 19: GC lose to Giants 103 to 63 at MO
Rd 20: GC beat Lions 96 to 55 at Carrara
Rd 21: GC lose to Crows 89 to 61 at AO
Rd 22: GC lose to Swans 114 to 90 at SCG

Notable win against Lions, but has lost to Swans, Dees, Pies at Carrara. GC form is patchy, but do play a little better at Carrara. They will put up a fight, but we should win.

 

[David Sylvian]

Inaccuracy from easy shots should still be an area of focus early in games. GC give you a lot of looks If we take advantage could be an easy win. Just on a side note, who comes in and out is pretty much irrelevant as the game plan plus pressure trumps all. 8 day break. As Jack Martin

Won three out of 4 at Carrara, only losing to the pies when they were trying to sack the coach.

Won 10 from 17 - who can forget that first win and the Jeffy steal?

Key crossover matchups: Holman and Casboult versus Saad and Martin....

 

[windows1]

Doc def needs a rest even if calf is ok. He’s carried a huge load in the absence of the midfield. I reckon Cuners gets a week just cos.

Mid 4 this week will be Cripps Walsh hewett and Dow. Hollands and acres wings. Not sure what they do with Cuners out. Would shock to see Boyd played forward in vfl today. He’d be a great pressure forward.

 

[Shambolic]

Oh and COttrell too, 50th AFL / Carlton match
