Preview Changes and pre-match discussion vs Melbourne

[The Nostradamus]

Melbourne play Jefferson and vanrooyen

And then Melksham and fritsch are good marking targets despite height

So I would go
Chom on jefferson
Pink/dawson (drop 1) on van rooyen
Logue on melksham
Lmac on fritsch

 

[Chadwiko]

Pink/dawson (drop 1) on van rooyen

Neither are getting dropped this week, mate.

 

[hilly]

Don't forget Ford, Rodney. I hear he had a good game last week, maybe.

Is Trenshower ready? I'd put him on Petracca.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

They didn’t have enough tall forwards last time and Chom killed them as he was free to intercept. Hope he gets the chance to do that again.

If Chom is fit and Larkey and Darling both miss I think he has to play forward, otherwise it’s May’s turn to intercept all day.

 

[backtothedraft]

Tough week at selection. McDonald, Comben and Parker are all automatic ins. I hope Larkey plays. Outside of that not sure how it lands. I’d like to see Payne and Banch debut over the closing rounds but would expect those to be staggered. Think Hansen Jr drops back to the 2s and not sure Duursma did enough. Difficult calls to be made on Harvey and Scott despite them being reasonable contributors last week. Logue out.

 

[gokangas]

Had this game tagged as a win but with all the outs and doubts, I am not confident now.

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

Xerri Vs Gawn will be a spectacle to see.

Melksham's been scoring them for fun the past fornight. Needs the Pink treatment.
Keeping Kozzy quiet will be key for us to win.

Who matches up against Oliver? He had a pretty good battle with Dawson against Adelaide.

Hopefully May has an off day

just let him kick the ball and cover ur head.

he kicks the ball like scott.

 

[DuckYeah]

Logue on melksham

Lol drop this wage thief

 

[Petekanga]

Where will north section be at the g . Want to attend but don't want to be sitting with go dees supporters

 

[The Dingrel]

out umpire 35

in someone who doesn’t have a hatred for north

Be struggling to get the game officiated full stop!

 

[The Dingrel]

What will our forward line look like with no Larkey and Darling? Bring CCJ alongside Maley or switch Comben / Dawson fwd?

I suspect CCJ would be in especially with question marks over X. BUT gee I'd love to see Comben come in and go to the goal square. Would be ringing alarm bells how to match up on him.....AND you know he and Finnbar are going to create an aerial presence to create headaches and opportunities for zurhaar, Curtis and Others.

What's the worst that can happen?

 

[The Dingrel]

I'd have thought you'll be fine anywhere......they'll all be in the MCC.

I’d like to see Logue forward. Would match up well on May - needs to make sure the ball comes to ground rather than let them intercept all day. Give him a role and see if he can turn things around.

 

[amaz199]

Reckon we'll pump them.

 

[year of the roo]

Happy to send Logue forward. He cracked the shits and left when Freo did that to him. Maybe history will repeat.

 

[zoomba23]

Reckon we'll pump them.

Without Pickett = agree
With Pickett = disagree

 

[goalieboy82]

the following announcement comes from heaven....
Saint Coach Emeritus Scamper (my little geelong cat saint)

who meows the following....

 

[shintemaster]

If Chom is fit and Larkey and Darling both miss I think he has to play forward, otherwise it’s May’s turn to intercept all day.

Respectfully I think I'd stick with Chom back (if fit) given his interruptions. Better options would be to restructure, play smaller by brining in Banch / Payne off good form or even get Logue to earn his keep up there.

Without Pickett = agree
With Pickett = disagree

Well apparently you can just elbow him in the head if he tries to tackle so that will sort that out.

 

[Event Horizon]

We are $4.55 to Melbourne's $1.20 this week. FFS, do the bookmakers know something we don't and Xerri and Larkey will both miss? I know Melbourne has been doing ok lately but these odds are crazy given there is half a game between the two sides, we're 2 out of 2 at the MCG this season and we've beaten them by 10 goals and have done ok against them last couple of years

Thought the same thing. The outs might dampen my hope a little but I honestly think we are a chance.

 

[kool kangas]

So I would go
Chom on jefferson
Pink/dawson (drop 1) on van rooyen
Logue on melksham
Lmac on fritsch

Pink onto Melksham
Dawson onto Van Rooyen

Drop Logue...

Similar odds in r2 wasn't it?

As a Melbourne supporter I fell over when I saw those odds.
Was expecting North to be about $2.20

We've done stuff all lately to deserve to be $1.20.

And it sounds like North will have an abundance of inclusions this week and Xerri and Larkey will surely play.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Melbourne are training at night... for a day game. 4 points are ours.
