Preview Changes for GWS

[ossie_21]

No changes will be hilarious

 

[Charlie Bucket]

I was in the 'no way moving ed from the backline' camp, but im giving Richards a chance to repeat his midifield performance from last week. 34 disposals (14 contested) , 575MG, 13 SI, 7 clearances and 3 goal assists AND the leading player for pressure on the ground. Thats a massive contribution.

It was a decent return. Albeit against witches hats. Our whole midfield group had season best games. He was ordinary in his other two games.

We could have given Dale maximum midfield minutes last week and probably would’ve see the same return. Maybe just without the same clearance numbers.

I’m hoping last weeks game has played him in to form back in defence as he’s one of the games best half backs. His best position.

It’s likely he’ll get another run though with no changes.

Richards was also great against those other witches hats, the Saints.

 

[MYOB]

Daniel in for JJ (Hammy)

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Daniel in for JJ (Hammy)

Man thats frustrating. He has had so few injury free years. Almost always the hammy, poor fella.

 

[Doggies_13]

Daniel in when we already had the extra defender to cover JJ being out makes little sense and Sanders still not even an emergency when was clear BOG last week

 

[hatescaptcha]

You’d expect Daniel to be the sub.

I feel like Sanders has been told to go back to the VFL for a month to get some consistency in one position and work on a few things (defensive running, fitness etc.) without the pressure of pushing for senior selection.

 

[maddog37]

Go Caleb go.

Hope he absolutely tears it up.

I would think Bramble could take that spot

Not with JJ missing.

 

[Testekill]

Honestly I thought that Vandermeer was missing, it's hard to imagine being right to go a week later when a guy the size of Nankervis lands knee first on your ankle.

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

Daniel is a horrible sub. You need someone versatile and ideally bags of pace. Nobody on our interchange really ticks both those boxes. Would be a shame to see Cleary or Freijah demoted. Maybe Gallagher is the best bet. He’s had a good run at it.

 

[HK_Bulldog]

Sanders needs to be more damaging with his disposals. Sure he gets a lot of it but most are 1 metre handballs. Coaches obviously want him to work on a few things and develop him for the long term. Didn’t hurt Macrae who was similarly dropped early in his career despite getting a tonne of the ball.

Hard as nails. Praise Dog.

Out: Jason Johannisen (hamstring)


Thanks, me

 

[doggy_dog]

CD almost certainly sub I’d imagine

 

[Next Waiting]

Daniel is a horrible sub. You need someone versatile and ideally bags of pace. Nobody on our interchange really ticks both those boxes. Would be a shame to see Cleary or Freijah demoted. Maybe Gallagher is the best bet. He’s had a good run at it.

If they want Freijah to be available for Sydney and Collingwood they'd have to consider him for the sub role or as someone, barring injury, to be subbed.

 

[ossie_21]

Gallagher for sub, please. Much better game last week after a quiet/down few weeks, but let the boy have a bit of a rest & likely not have to play near a full game.

Nobody else would make sense for the role from that bench.

 

[Jukes]

Sorry for the intrusion but didn’t someone previously say that whenever your bench is not listed alphabetically then the last player is always the sub? So in this case it would be Macrae?

(I’m just lurking for Supercoach reasons but thought I’d help with the sub topic haha)

It would be best to stay away from Macrae for SC because of the Bevo factor.

 

[DueWest]

VDM the next R McComb ?

 

[Ash1337]

VDM the next R McComb ?

Not even. VDM has shown much more than McComb ever did and has some ability. He's just a whipping boy because his decision making at times is poor.

I'd argue Daniel is versatile and a decent option as sub. With legs getting heavier as the game wears on, pace won't be as big of a deficiency as it normally would be for slower types. Some examples of this working off the top of my head would be Hewett for Carlton last week, Sam Berry kicking the matchwinner earlier this year and having a fair amount of the ball, Lipiniski in the Grand final, Jack Carroll in the first game against Brisbane. There's probably countless examples.

This whole thing of the sub needs to have pace is a myth.

Yep OG read it perfectly last week.

I wouldn't read too much into it this week. I'm pretty confident Daniel will be the sub. Macrae has been playing fairly well and it would be strange to move him back into the sub role.

My theory is that it was in alphabetical order with Bramble on the bench, Johannisen on the back pocket and Daniel as emergency but Johannisen being a late out messed it up.
