Strategy Changes for Derby

[larrikin]

May be reading too much into this but Selwood contract talks get put on hold to the end of the season, suddenly ankle issue returns

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

McGinnity named on the field :/

Barrass, Butler, Bennell, Hill, Lucas, Colledge, Sheed on the bench.

I think Bennell, Colledge, Lucas miss. Ginners to sub

 

[Suma Magic]

From the bench you'd think that Barrass is a lock.

Butler should stay in. Maybe Bennell in for him. Can't see both of them being picked, maybe neither will make the cut.

You'd think Sheed should make the 21. For Hill to get a full game you'd think either Sheed/Hutch/Rosa/McG gets the vest, or neither of Bennell/Butler play.

Colledge and Lucas to be vest candidates.

 

[mad_eagle]

Is anyone surprised that Pavlich and McFailin' were named?

Being a Sunday game, there is still time to assess and make changes tomorrow when they trim to 22, or a late change on Sunday morning before the game.

 

[javaguice]

SCOOTER OUT!!! WOOHOOO

 

[ChampRevesby]

Geee we still don't bat very deep with our mids.

 

[DickDunn]

Is anyone surprised that Pavlich and McFailin' were named?

Could still end up being out. Freo need to drop one more to make way for Johnson/Fyfe.

 

[new breed]

The problem is the players get radiation dose's each week in Ross's mind games ....or do they really have scans .....

 

[Max zero]

Geee we still don't bat very deep with our mids.

Our depth is improving but has a ways to go yet.

 

[Doughboy]

I get that bit, but do you honestly expect either one to be out?

 

[Doughboy]

About as deep as the Australian Cricket Team on tour...

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

I get the feeling Bennell will play. RE seemed to think so earlier in the week and the Eagles site did a little puff piece on him earlier in the week, which seems to happen before a new inclusion to soften the blow for the chronic melters.

 

[Max zero]

Can anyone tell me why Lyon tries to bluff everyone at selection? Is it supposed to achieve anything? Its not like we would adjust our team any different.

That's the thing. It's not like we have an extra defender to bring in if we needed to.

 

[SpaceClef]

Searching for sugar man no longer!

Kane's in the squad!

 

[WCErevival]

Geee we still don't bat very deep with our mids.

The way they have the team set makes it look worse than it is. Gaff should be on the wing. Sheed or Yeo on ball instead of Hutchings. Butler into the back pocket. Duggan adds some young class too.

 

[Biggie]

Lucas eh?

Haha

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Daniels suggested Butler was sore, and Ellis has a foot injury. If one of them misses I think Bennell plays, otherwise we've got too many defenders.

 

[ziad]

Why no Nelson I have NFI.

hasn't performed

 

[WCE Wizard]

Selwood out thank goodness one less person to butcher the ball.

Defenders - Missing Emac and McGovern but we have to find a way to cover

Mids Rosa, Hutchings, Shuey, Gaff, Masten, Priddis, Yeo, Sheed looks okay (we are going to miss Duggan, Lecras & Natnaui) they add that polish and X factor

Forwards are fine

 

[Doughboy]

I just had an overwhelming desire to throw hard things at something purple

 

[donpyke92]

Will be interested to see if Pavlich and McPharlin play. Achilles and calf strains are not good, but particularly with McPharlin's history with calf troubles, and the stage of the season. Bit risky if there's any doubt, but, hey, McGovern played last week....

 

[WCE Wizard]

Daniels suggested Butler was sore, and Ellis has a foot injury. If one of them misses I think Bennell plays, otherwise we've got too many defenders.

This would be the best 22
Hurn Schofield Sheppard

Wellingham Barras Ellis

Masten Shuey Gaff

Hill Darling Yeo

Sinclair Kennedy Cripps

Lycett Prddis Sheed

Int: Butler/Bennell, Huthcings, Rosa, College (Sub)

Out Selwood (AT LAST), Lecras, The GOV, Ginners
In Hill, College, Barras, Sinclair

 

[Small Moves]

'ankle'

 

[Prem87]

Finally!

 

[SloppyJoe]

So Lucas was among the worst few players at a club that is among the league's worst few clubs and he is once again on the verge of getting a game for us, this time at the pointy end of the season. God help us.
