Changes 4 Geelong

[Timmy from Thomastown]

No change.

Wellingham will be the last man picked. Cant see how any else in the 22 could be considered to be left out of the side.

There is a possibility that he might go out for any of Clarke Stanley Cook or Barham depending upon MM's horses for courses matchups. I doubt Beams will play and in any case his form has waned over the past month.

I dont see how we can fit Fraser in unless he's fully matchfit, which he wont be.

Medhurst has to stay despite his low stats. He is providing a lot of defensive pressure in the forward line and he is just "one week away" from having a blinder. Goldy has to stay because he has excellent offensive abilities from defence and his footskills on both sides make him a very good clearer of the footy.

I have changed my mind! No Dawes or Stanley in.

In: Fraser, Clarke
Out: Medhurst, Wellingham

However, I am not firmly committed to the second change. I reckon Clarke has to come in after his VFL form, with Ablett, Chapman and maybe Johnson to be covered. Sharrad too often looks soft, though his skills and clearances are valuable.

Though we don't seem to make the best out of using two ruckman, if Fraser is truly fit, he should come in to help Wood and maybe play forward.

Davis is another player who I considered dropping, because he does not play well when injured and he seems to be carrying something. However, to drop two x-factors (Medhurst is the other) does not seem prudent.

Who else can you drop? Johnson, Anthony, Lockyer, Brown? Why break up a group that has got us to this point. I'll trust the selectors on this one.

My changes would be:

IN: Reid, Fraser, Beams(if fit), Pendles(if fit)
Out: Brown, Macaffer, Wellingham, Goldsack

Id play Reid on Mooney as Mooney gets most of his marks on the lead Reid has the pace to go with him and would allow presti to play on Hawkins

 

[Skade]

IN: Pendles(if fit)
Out: Medders
Goldsack to play fwd

 

[WEARECOLLINGWOOD!]

My Team would be if Fraser is fit:

Obrien Presti Maxwell

Goldsack L Brown Shaw

Clarke Swan Wellingham

Lockyer Cloke Thomas

Davis Anthony Dick

Foll: Wood Didak Obree

Inter: Sidebottom Johnson Toovey Fraser

Out: McCaffer Medhurst

In Fraser Clarke

The Caff is unlucky but someone has to make way for Fraser if he is fit. I would play Josh up forward & then let him give Wood a chop out.

Clarke has to come in, as I think his run will be very important.

Beams is very unlucky if he is fit, but the only player that could be dropped on form would be Davis, but they wont drop both Davis & Medhurst.

Medhurst has had his chnaces & he is badly out of form & he cant be carried.

Dawes may also find himself a little unlucky.

Pendlebury will not be playing. A broken fibula is essentially a 6 week injury, regardless of surgery.

I'm not sure about changes, maybe bring in Clarke. No point messing around with a winning side to much.
