Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs Melbourne

[The Nostradamus]

Out: LDU and scott
In: wardlaw and parker

Would like to see banch also

I would give wardlaw another week off and then vfl time but the reporting seems to be that we will likely have him in

 

[Joshen]

Must have been some injury to give him an ability like that.

It's legitimately the only skill he demonstrated in his otherwise bland performances with us.

 

[shintemaster]

It's legitimately the only skill he demonstrated in his otherwise bland performances with us.

A couple of marks in between being outmarked by small defenders does not constitute a reliable skill IMO.

 

[Works atErrol St]

In CCJ & K Dawson. If both play well in the VFL late Friday arvo.

Out Injured players.

 

[Rod Stroker]

If X is out, I wouldn't be against giving Goad a run. Sure he might not have the body yet, but he's been our best performing ruck in the VFL this year. See how he goes against Gawn.

So you acknowledge that he doesn't have the body yet but still think he should make his league debut against the most decorated ruck of his generation?

I do. He's performed better than Teakle and CCJ. He's already competed against AFL-level ruckman this year, I'd be fine to see how he goes in the big time.

 

[Reagan Smash]

As per Giant Roos posts in the Xerri thread.

Xerri was not concussed

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

out umpire 35

in someone who doesn’t have a hatred for north

 

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

I'm gonna assume the ones who were 'Test' as a return date will likely come back given our game is a Sunday game next week.

That means potentially we can have Archer, Comben, Ford, Goater, LMac, Parker and also Wardlaw available.
LDU seems to be the only out from this past week, unless someone pulls up during training.

Out: Logue (omit), Scott (omit), Duursma (omit) , LDU (Concussion)
In: Comben, LMac, Parker, Wardlaw

Banch in for sub over RHJ.

Keep Harvey in for a full game, don't drop Shotgun before Logue. Maley stays in as well.

Archer to get fitness through the VFL.

 

[Val Keating]

Glad it’s a Sunday game, gives more time for anyone carrying niggles.

At this point the only certainty is LDU out with concussion.

 

[Wild Bill]

Says X concussed on AFL Website

It’s now saying he passed the concussion test.

 

[Gone north]

Out: Caleb Daniel

Cut the loss, own up to the poor recruitment, but we absolutely cannot play this guy anymore. Absolute liability.

You simply cannot be that small and that slow and expect to be a professional AFL player…

 

[kool kangas]

Could we give Brayden George a game or is it still to early given all of his injuries he's had....l wouldnt mind seeing George and Banch in at the expense of RHJ and Duursma..

 

[shinboner magic]

We know it will be
Out LDU
In fisher

[king of the road]

Is Wardlaw available to come back in for LDU?

Pretty sure it will have been 12 days since the hawks game.

 

[Chadwiko]

He's nowhere close to ready.

 

[the big lebowski]

He will have completed the protocol

Still quite a way off but tracking nicely

 

[Wild Bill]

I think they will give him another week to be on the safe side.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Is Xerri concussed? Haven't heard it confirmed.

They said X cleared of concussion.

 

[Horizons_00]

He needs to come back into the VFL imo. Get some fitness back into him as he’s missed so many games due to injuries this year already.

He was having **** all impact and in average form to warrant to get straight back in anyways

 

[amaz199]

Melbourne are in all sorts.

Been watching them very closely because they tend to rely on stoppage dominance and clearance to win games which is a bit like us. They don't have much of a forward line with Kozzie playing more midfield.

I'd have Phillips go straight to Oliver. We also need to make sure May is accountable. If Larkey is sore, need to give Maley a bit more freedom to contest and leap against May. Lever as well.

Without LDU, I'm not too concerned in the slightest. I think we run too many mids in there anyway so its a great opportunity for the young blokes to flex their muscles.

I really want Phillips to make it. Make or break.

 

[bennymate]

Can we please play Banch for **** sake? So sick and tired of other MSD picks exploding at AFL level.
