We should be winning this game easily if we bring last nights intent.

Only question seems to be do we bring Daniel Rich

back in and if so who goes out?

A few players hitting form in the reserves and maintaining pressure on the seniors eg. Lyons, Ah Chee, Mathieson, Sharp, Fort... probably no room for any of them at the moment.

Was also thinking about Rich when watching a replay of the second quarter and thinking he would slow us down. Was also thinking about Gardiner, maybe he gets a half a game in the twos for fitness and touch

Forgot about Dizzy, it is a conundrum, Richy and Dizzy back in would definitely slow us down on turnover.

Dizzy is no slower than Joyce but is a much better player.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rich for Joyce

Gunstons last chance

 

[Berrygood]

Don't think we need to make any changes for North. Happy to stick with the winning team. I think Kiddy will be better for last night's game, gaining a bit of confidence after his head knock. He went in hard on occasions and came out of it well.

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

We got killed in the clearances we need to bring in Deven and bring out Wilmot.

Much better player I agree, on the pace question I am not so sure, I haven't seen enough of Joyce yet to have an opinion, he didn't seem to be caught out for pace last night and I didn't see the Dogs game though.

 

[CarterS]

Potentially dropping McCarthy for me. A very quiet few weeks. Bring in Dev.

Like it but don't see it happening. I'd also be happy with Ah Chee coming in for Linc as well.

 

[SizeMatters]

Rich to find form in reserves but if fagan really wants to bring him in I think Coleman was been the weak link so far this year. Might be a straight swap. Although I prefer Coleman for his pace and kicking ability.

While we played well to get a win a few concerns is that we continue to make the simple look hard and something we do a lot more than other premiership contenders is turn the ball over under minimal pressure. Berry was bad on that so I think he might be a possible out for Rich. Play wilmot on the wing and rich down back. Doubt it though.

His best is damn good but far too often he just doesn’t impact or turns it over trying the blind over the head hospital handball. Wonder how lohmann has been playing ? But yes McCarthy for dev would be a good swap imo. Dev is good overhead as well, probs it has the better ground ball game and is definitely better defensively.

McCarthy’s pressure was fantastic last night. If you look for him on replay, he was everywhere and in Collingwoods faces.

46-37 to lions.

 

[Dalions]

One thing I loved about last night game was that our kick ins were not not as predictable as when Rich is in the team, every kick seemed to be a different player taking it.
I can see it now, Rich comes in and he will take 90% of kick ins which will go to the same bloody spot allowing North to get set up.

I was thinking that at the game as well, Kiddy should take the majority of kick ins IMO. We show a lot more urgency when Richy isn't getting the ball out of the bag.

The game slows to snails pace when Rich gets the ball.

 

[T Rick]

Wasn't Mckenna involved in an off the ball gut punch incident that dropped a Collingwood player...if so, I would imagine he will get suspended.

Going on past precedent for striking charges (I know, stupid to bank on past precedent when the MRP will make it up) I think provided it wasn't high he probably skates away with a fine?

Didn't Cunnington have about half a dozen gut punches a few years back and only got fined every time? I remember thinking it was insane at the time , so McKenna probably gets a week to "send a message" to a completely different player and team.

Was thinking the exact same thing.
Especially because we come up against North.

But there was also a year when Zorko and maybe Rocky both got weeks for gut punches

That Zorko one (if you're speaking of the incident I am thinking off) was a feather tap, it was infuriating at the time.

We're also the only team to have a head clash result in our player being suspended.
