Changes and tactics vs St. Kilda - Stretch, OMac Out - Jetta, Lewis In

[demondavey]

Listening to Mahoney on Thursday night I reckon May is no chance for the Tigers game.

He should be playing VFL. He needs to get fit. He looks like Jack Nicholson courtside at a BB game. No time for him right now. If we win v St Kilda then we get Richmond at a reasonable time with their outs. May needs fitness.

Didn't mind Josh Wagner's game TBH. And we'd be too short doing this.

Agree that Wagner has been okay the last couple of weeks, but I just don't think he gets a guernsey ahead of Lewis. Agree it leaves us short, but would rather have Hibberd and Hore play taller if we need someone, given Wagner isn't particularly tall anyway.

Lewis will help organise our defence. I agree we need him for a bit whilst Lever and May are out. He can be very good but also very frustrating.

Ok that's just stupid. He got to the club unfit but Goodwin has said we were very happy with his pre season and he was ready for round 1.

He took to the field and looked like a fat c***. Is it too much to ask to let him have a game or two of VFL to get fitness? Or even one game?

Do you think he has a bit of Di Caprio about him in that shot?

A fat version.

Good triceps in that shot. It was more post injury to run out a game. That was my thinking.

Normally my rules is everyone should return in the VFL but we need him in defence.

 

[Supermercado]

More of what we did against them in the first 20 minutes last year, less of the next 95, more of the last five.

The sooner I get to stop watching whatever it is that Omac is doing out there, the better.

Also, I get the feeling Omac might feel the same way.

Well I guess considering how poorly McDonald is performing you’re probably going to get your way.

We need to keep Hore in at all costs aswell

Absolute given. His game was brilliant.

Every other side that has played in the round so far have between 35-50 intercept marks. We have 19.

We had 11 and we nearly double our season total in one week.

Hore took 4 and Frost 2

 

[AmericanAFL]

I know I’m in the minority but I like Frost. He doesn’t have a sure kick, so you hold your breath every time he takes one. But he’s really athletic and we don’t have a bunch of that in the back.

He’s not very good at football which is an issue

 

[Bluelegs]

Frost is the most wildcard player in the AFL. He's RNG personified.

 

[Topkent]

I think Frost could be more of a role player for us than Omac. He's been just as bad this year but his confidence improved 2nd half agaisnt Sydney and he even hit a couple corridor kicks

I know Frost gets a serious beating in these parts, but I do believe he is a more than handy player if surrounded by a really good KPD. He is very strong, he is fast, he can take a great grab and he simply needs encouragement to just back himself in with his disposal. If he can stream from HB and hit TMac or Weidemann then he provides a tough proposition.

I’d like him to zone less and be led to the ball more, that way he might not get as perplexed as when he does zone off and lose his man.

That’s a lot that needs to go his way just so he can be ok, he’s just not very good

 

[Topkent]

It'll be interesting to see where our back 6 ends up at the end of the year

May/Lever/Salem are in as is Jetta.

I think Hore might have a claim aswell after that performance. Hibberd probably takes a spot but his form is worrying. He can't seem to break tackles this season.

Problem is that it means we only have 1 key defender. The way modern footy is going we need both Lever and Hore, means we have to sacrifice one of Hibberd or Jetta.

What is "RNG" supposed to be?
