Oops.

Bail or Magner to take the vest.

 

[saj_21]

Potential ins: McKenzie, Watts, Martin, Petterd, Tynan, Fitzpatrick, Cook, Bate

Potential outs: Morton (shoulder), Magner, Gysberts, Blease, Bail

Go HAM, fellas.

Blease is first player too look dangerous as a small forward this year, despite twice playing on stupidly he wont be dropped. Gysberts like most players will be scratchy coming back into AFL after a long lay off. Magner did a good job on Ablett when he came on, Bail was a bit selfish and very ordinary finishing skills.

Just wanted to clarify that the list is who I think potentially could go out if a few inclusions were to be made.

I'm tipping Morton and possibly Magner will be the only two outs.

Sorry to intrude guys, was just wondering if you guys remembered who tagged Brendon Goddard last time (and smashed him). Was it Gysberts?

McKenzie tagged Goddard earlier this year- missed yesterday with a knee

cheers mate. No idea why had in mind it was Gysberts!! Will McKenzie be right to play next week or who do u think will get job on Goddard this time around? (changes my entire preview if he doesnt play!)

McKenzie's always #1 tag option and was a late withdrawal. Hopefully he gets up. Otherwise there's a gulf. Magner and Morton (?), neither of whom had a good day yesterday (and Morton did a shoulder) and may not be there next week also tag. If not them some pinch hitter - Bail? I'll just pray for Jordie's knee.

the game vs St Kilda earlier in the year was probably the only decent game we played in the first 10 games of the season

I think our brand of football matches up well with the Saints. I look forward to Tom McDonald going to Riewoldt again, would be awesome if he could get his scalp for a second time.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

In: McKenzie, Fitzpatrick, Jetta
Out: Morton, Magner, This Weeks Mystery Injury

Why oh why is Spencer the new scapegoat? Sure he's uncoordinated in the extreme, and yeah I want to see Fitz get a game at some point, but you just don't drop a bloke who gives 110% every week and breaks even in the ruck as a 13-gamer.

Was originally an out for mine, but replaced him with "mystery injury". Changed my mind as Spencer is a #1 ruckman, Fitz/Sellar are part-timers - would like to see a bit of tall timber to stretch the St Kilda backline.
Is it raining this Saturday? Might have to invest in a couple of ponchos.

 

[CTHORANGE]

Credit where credit is due, Spencer has been putting in and deserves a few games in a row, with a bit of confidence he might show a bit more

Out: Morton (inj)

In: McKenzie

Watts has been awhile now, I wonder if he would have to go back through the VFL first to gain fitness? Seems to be something Neeld has been doing

 

[Captain Jack]

Tapscott free to play, unsurprisingly... no mention of that amazing but fair bump on the Members wing in the MRP findings. Fair enough.

I agree with you re u guys matching up against us. Even last year we struggled to really get on top of you. Just something about you guys that we seem to struggle against. Playing at G helps you guys out bit aswell, i hate that we play our home games there.

Good luck

I hope so at this stage, but at the moment forecast suggests a morning shower before clearing. Could change pretty easily.

If Jamar is available to play I'd keep Spencer. Let Jamar come back through the VFL because he has to get some match fitness before some pretty big tests ahead (Giles, Jacobs then Griffin/Clarke to finish).

Last time I went down, my little Demon kept opening up his umbrella, some of the blokes on here nicknamed him "Mary Poppins".
Hoping it stays dry during the match. My little Demon is also involved in the McDonalds footy clinic before the match.
I probably was a bit harsh on Spencer, give him the rest of the year and put Jamar on ice for the rest of this season.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

In: Watts, McKenzie, Fitzpatrick/Martin

Out: Morton, Magner, Gysberts

It might seem a bit harsh to drop the Gys, but I feel that he'll go for a more balanced midfield - he also still looked to struggle with the fitness required to implement Neeld's game plan/structures.

B: McDonald Frawley Garland
HB: Grimes Sellar Strauss
C: Trengove Sylvia Bail
HF: Howe Watts Blease
F: Green Rivers Martin/Fitzy
R: Spencer Jones McKenzie
I: Moloney Tapscott Macdonald
S: Dunn

Dunn's unlucky to be the sub; but I have him there purely for tactical and impact reasons - he's shown he can impact games as a sub. I'm not convinced Tappy/Strauss/Blease have that ability to come on and impact instantly.

Bail was one I'd prefer to have as sub, but tactically we'd be a runner down.

 

[syl]

It was similar to the Mumford/Ablett tackle though. I knew that when he did it he'd be looked at. It was the penalty that got me going.

Tappy should get off. It wasn't blatant like the Fasolo incident earlier in the season, it was a fair bump and it happened to injure Russell. Unfortunate but injuries happen. MRP can't look at everything simply because an injury happened to... err... happen.

Occur.
