Preview Changes and prematch discussion vs *

[Heaps of fun]

Perez with an 18month ACL and no return date.

Grouse.

Pretty normal for clubs to be super cautious about 18yos that did their knees in their junior years. Riley Garcia and Brodie Kemp are in the same situation and they're both listed as indefinite on the Bulldogs' and Blues' injury lists respectively.

Maj is playing after that scratch match report

Good to see Maj might be on the verge of a return this week.
Hopefully he plays forward, as Brown needs some support without Larkey. Xerri has tried hard, but I’d be surprised if he stays in this week.
Bailey deserves another crack.
I was hoping Will Walker had a good game in the 2’s & would come in, but he is not mentioned in the report.

I’m of the opinion we are a third tall short at either end so ideally we bring in at least 1 tall in for a small to give us better structure

100%. If we are going to kick sacks to our forwards, may as well be long sacks to more than 1 tall player

coach scamper, my little geelong cat:

meows the following:

 

[Devington]

As much as I agree with you.. I think he has found his niche back there. He could become that skilful dashing defender, we’ve been crying out for.
So much of the modern game is set up from behind the ball, I think I would prefer him to grow in that role.
I mentioned previous, he reminds me of R.Shaw when he was playing defence.
Leave Lmac to play the tagging role. It’ll be a win/win. As Hayden’s disposal is better.

Considering how allergic our medium defenders are to boldly moving the ball forward, skillfully may I add, your argument for Hayden staying there is pretty bloody strong. As much as I think he could be a huge asset in the midfield it becomes an issue of are you robbing peter to pay paul. Our midfield is utterly ****ed right now, but how much worse would the ball movement, and ground ball winning, in the back half be if we moved Hayden?

Personally not a massive fan of throwing kids around from position to position either, save that for when they've got 50 games AFL experience under their belt and have played and trained a lot with all the other blokes in the team.

 

[The acurate one]

Perez with an 18month ACL and no return date.

Grouse.

Hey mate , we know we’ve a beauty in Perez and we ain’t taking a Ferrari bush bashing.

Great by the club . Perez is working oh so hard off the field too . Has a hunger for knowledge of the game .
Is very keen to impress. Once in he I think won’t go out of the side .
Be patient mate .

Pretty normal for clubs to be super cautious about 18yos that did their knees in their junior years. Riley Garcia and Brodie Kemp are in the same situation and they're both listed as indefinite on the Bulldogs' and Blues' injury lists respectively.

Kemp did his knee quite a bit later than Perez. Perez did his knee at the start of the 2019 preseason training for Bendigo in late 2018.

Perez did his knee in early December 2018.

Kemp did his knee on the 22 July 2019 in school football.


Perez has already been out for 19 months, Kemp hasn't clocked up a year yet.

There's cautious and there's set backs, 19 months isn't just cautious, there must of been a decent setback at some point.

Great to hear that. There is a great story building here if he can get on the track at the level we all hope. North has shown a lot of faith - hope he does it.

Imagine having enough Ferraris in the garage that you could take one off road.

We pick one up and it’s so rare we just look at it and polis it for years.

Well at least we are polishing Ferrari's now, better than polishing terds and trying to get them shinny, as has been the case in the past.

 

[Bell End]

Just secured tickets for me and the Joey, he's super excited (same). Hope we can eioe the go or with these campaigners, I'm still not over good Friday last year.

 

[SMaturin]

If Maj is in does he go back and we throw Walker forward to try and straighten us up?

Would mean out: Xerri

I don’t see it happening as Walker has cemented his role as the second key defender but at a happier time he does have the ability to roll forward.

Hopefully!

 

[Rooboys Rool]

So hard to decide what to do this week. Think I'm going to go with:

Daw in for Brown
Ziebell in for Thomas
Scott in for Hall
Brown in for Xerri
Murphy in for Macmillan
Hall in for Higgins
Ahern in for Cunnington
Thomas in for Hall
Bonar in for Ahern
Macmillan in for Murphy
Higgins in for Ziebell
W Walker in for Thomas
Hall in for Higgins

That should do it.

Wouldn't be moving walker he and Tarrant are settled.... I'm not against daw going them back there as while * don't have too many talls he would be an imposing figure if he is lurking in the 50 ready to gobble up and entry.... but our need maybe greater forward and then push him back the next week when if larkey returns

I’m with you. I think Maj back or if forward plonk him in the square and get Brown doing the km’s upfield. Maj might blow up but if he’s anchored he should have the energy to still provide defensive pressure. We need guys like Zurhaar prowling and there would be an argument for giving someone like Atley a role strictly as a defensive forward.

Nah have Maj in for Macmillan
Need more talls in for smalls

two talls forward brown and Xerri/Wood
Two talls back Taz and Walker

Maj third tall at either end most needed, swingman

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

It’s Wednesday so I am slowly back into optimistic mode. if we could pinch this one I reckon we are still on. 3-3 with the hope Ben 10, Higgins get over the injuries. LDU, Larkey, Walker, Maj back from injury. You got to time your run. Just got to hang tough the next few weeks.

 

[shinboner magic]

Tippa 3+ goals $170 @ $6.50 + boost
Tippa 4+ goals $50 @ $19 + multiplier
Tippa 5+ goals $30 @ $34


Gamble Irresponsibly.

Money down the drain if Marley goes to him but anyone else and you’ll be in the money.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I'll be happy if the club lists 21 players this week.

 

[shinboner magic]

I put daw and brown across half forward then put a Taylor/ zurhaar in the square. That’s so Hurley/hooker are off the last line
