Changes v Port (latest; out: Murray, In: Murphy)

[Maggie5]

Ok
IN: Blair & Smith
OUT: JDG & Grundy
Surprised?

Shocked is a better word.

 

[Horaceg]

Can't believe anyone thinks De Goey is in doubt. Kicked a goal 20 minutes into the last to seal the deal, then jogged off to rest and avoid any risk of injury, and suddenly that equals Pie in doubt? Spare me.

Anyway, Ryder, Houston and Polec failed to train this morning and are in actual doubt. Ryder says he will get picked in 22 and have a fitness test on Friday at the captains run...

I hope Ryder plays, big risk for them

 

[BLS World Wide]

Not concerned at all about this game We need to send a message to these second rate South Australian campaigners what it means to play Collingwood at the G and put the other 6 sides in the 8 on notice as well!

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Who’s going to play on Chad Cornes? Michael Wilson? Stephen Paxman???

 

[iGNITER]

Who’s going to play on Chad Cornes? Michael Wilson? Stephen Paxman???

Anthony Rocca, Chris Tarrant and Simon Prestigiacomo.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Anthony Rocca, Chris Tarrant and Simon Prestigiacomo.

I’m sure Ben Kinnear will be disappointed.

 

[MagpieBat]

I’m sure Ben Kinnear will be disappointed.

Only until Pebbles whacks Brendon Lade. Then he'll as happy as Larry that he can't be dropped.

Actually, he's already that for that precise reason...

 

[sr36]

I hope Ryder plays, big risk for them

Think I read something similar about buddy before thw swans game

 

[carnthemaggies]

Anthony Rocca, Chris Tarrant and Simon Prestigiacomo.

Actually, we are sending over Greg Phillips, Bruce Abernathy and Russell Johnston

 

[Big Bryza]

Agree with this

They’ll have the small forward set up that will destroy our current inexperienced defenders.

Really?

I think Maynard, Crisp, Langdon and Greenwood will be more than ok.

 

[Big Bryza]

Langdon’s in doubt according to Tim Watson on SEN this morning.

Lets be honest, what would Tim Watson know?

 

[Big Bryza]

Is it stupid to say varcoe should play on gray instead of greenwood?

Unless Gray is playing in the back pocket then yes. I still think Greenwood should go to Wingard.

Maynard to Gray when he's playing forward.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

No you didn’t

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

With Howe unavailable I think no change is the best option. Although a McLarty debut is a possible...I'm warming to it.

 

[Finnishpie]

Ok
IN: Blair & Smith
OUT: JDG & Grundy
Surprised?

As long as Oxley stays in!

 

[Chrispiesssss]

If there was ever a week, we had to debut McLarty as a KPD, this is it.

If we make finals, we need a genuine KPD.
If we play :
Richmond : Riewoldt
WCE : Darling & Kennedy
GWS : Cameron
Geelong : Hawkins
Sydney : Franklin
Port : Westhoff
Hawks : Roughead
Demons : T.McDonald
North : Ben Brown

I don’t see us beating any of these teams in the finals if Howe is playing on their best forward.

I don’t think our undersized, inexperienced defence can cope with those players. We need Howe intercepting, and not manning their best KPD.

Saturday’s game is supposed to be a wet game. The last thing we would want is Westhoff to be taking easy marks in the forward 50 just because he’s TALLER than our defenders.
The saying goes (paraphrase) “Tall players don’t get any shorter”.
All McLarty would need to do is stay with Westhoff and bring the ball to the ground.

I would send Greenwood to Wines. He’s their spirit animal.
I would tell Grundy to jump at Frampton at every bounce. I would tell Grundy to run forward from every stoppage. Port is the 2nd best team at clearances this year.
Maynard on R.Gray.
Langdon on Wingard.

We should use the same strategy as the Adelaide game.

I would personally start De Goey in the Center then rotate him through the forward line too.

Out : Oxley
In : McLarty

Pies by 31.

I'm not convinced CFC need either of May or Lynch based on what they will cost. I would prefer younger lesser known options be explored first, let Derek do his thing, examples of the age group and type of player I have in mind are Durdin 198 cm (NM), Finlayson 196 cm (GWS), De Koning 200 cm (Carlton) and Krueger 195 cm (SA).

There was another Lynch who signed a 10 year deal for $2M
The Footy world went into melt down

Later on they had to renegotiate the deal because by years 8, 9, 10 he was playing for the same money as most third year players

 

[sr36]

No you didn’t

Yeah I did.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

VFL watchers....did McLarty play in defence last week? If so that may be an indication of the clubs plans this week...

Would be one of the most inexperienced kpp lineups ever seen. Cox (38 games) Mihocek (10) Madgen (2) McLarty (0).

But is McLarty an upgrade on Oxley? Possibly.

 

[neilk]

Or Kennedy, Darling and LeCras bore the WCE game.

 

[MyManLynch]

It’s not quite deck chairs on the Titanic scenario.
However the TOP 4 teams have all beaten us (3 of them in the past month).
So cannot see our backline holding up for a sustained September campaign.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Good news, Langdon and De Goey (not to mention Goldy) are training, so the former two don't seem to be in doubt for this week.

Just about anyone be a Upgrade on Oxley(Except maybe Blair).

He played his Usual Forward and 2nd Ruck Postion
