Changes for Preliminary Final

[Chokito]

Granted no delayed concussion for Xavier, no surgery required for Marshall, or no random suspension for Butters, I can't see this team changing.

Westhoff in for one of those guys if necessary.
(Imagine the team lift if he does come in, heck me)

 

[70sDinosaur]

Out: Chamberlain.

In: An umpire who is competent, consistent and isn't an attention seeking show pony, if such a thing exists.

 

[Doctor Feel]

If Marshall is even slightly off, i'd be looking at other options.

 

[PJ Power]

In: clean hands for Dixon and Ladhams
Out: slipping over from Rozee

 

[70sDinosaur]

If Marshall doesn't get up for the next game then I think Georgiades should be his replacement.

 

[PJ Power]

We need Marshall out there even if he’s in a sling and a wheelchair.
Who else carries the lucky, winning horseshoe like he does?

 

[TeeKray]

If Marshall doesn't get up for the next game then I think Georgiades should be his replacement.

Can't see them punting on Georgiades for a prelim, I think they'd go the safe route and pick Westhoff. Don't think it'll matter though because I reckon Marshall will play.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Tredders reckons Marshall wont be able to raise his arms above his head without great pain as a result of his dislocation.

Wasn't confident he would play in the PF. Said the 2 options are Georgiades and Hoff. He'd go with the Hoff.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I'd go with Westhoff as well if Marshall isn't 100%. I'd give Marshall until game day to prove his fitness though. Vitally important to us.

Media trying their best to get butters suspended hopefully won’t happen

Marshall will be fine.

No changes.

 

[raptalia]

ABC Radia reporting that Zac Butters is 'expected to be reported for head butting'. I didn't see the incident and cannot recall it being mentioned on the FOXTEL commentary.

 

[nadsee]

OUT: beer & wine.
IN: water.

 

[nadsee]

from afl web site:

The only blemish on an otherwise great night was a potential match review incident for Butters, who will sweat over how his potential headbutt on Mark O'Connor will be viewed.

Can not find anything else.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

If Marshall doesn't get up for the next game then I think Georgiades should be his replacement.

Would think we'll have to go horses for courses. Hoff should also be in the conversation.

ABC Radia reporting that Zac Butters is 'expected to be reported for head butting'. I didn't see the incident and cannot recall it being mentioned on the FOXTEL commentary.

I just watched it a few times, not much in it. Should only be a fine at worst. The other guy didn't even flinch.

 

[Byron!!!]

Suspect Marshall will be touch and go. Coming back out because he had to, with pain killers and barely able to lift his arm was amazing courage and possibly one of the best 3 possession games played given the circumstances, but if still he is that limited in movement by the time the prelim is upon us, then likely will be ruled out injured.

Found it on the Kayo replay I think. Around 7:18 left on the clock in the second quarter. Butters and a Geelong player scrapping in the bottom right of the screen. Seems pretty minor, maybe fine worthy?

Very little in that. A fine at worst.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Our best 22 is just so good but our replacements worry me.

Marshall > Westhoff

Hoff just doesn't create the same separation and space and I wouldn't have backed the Hoff to kick that goal.

Butters > Woodcock

Woodcock will get there but he is a fair way off yet. We lose a lot in class and defensive insanity.

Duursma > Farrell

We lose a lot in gut running both ways and courage. We gain a little in kicking.

We are a worse side with any of these changes. Let's hope they all pull up.

I don’t think he even connected! Just watched it. Fine surely, was not a smart thing to do but Was very quick and leans into him too, seriously the Geelong players reactions makes me think he didn’t even touch him.

Stuff all in it really.

 

[PowerForGood]

No changes, really hoping Butters escapes with a fine for the clash of heads in the first half.

Sorry, Mitch Cleary has already flagged it on the "independent" AFL Media website for a "potential headbutt on Mark O'Connor that could come under Match Review scrutiny."

 

[Interstater]

Stuff all in it really.

Compared to Dangerfield's first hit on DBJ it is miniscule.
I'd like to see some consistency in the media reporting.

Just before the Butter's incident, Dangerfield was running towards DBJ, he heard the whistle and he continued to run towards DBJ, lifted him off the ground and effectively spear tackled him.

Dangerfield should get 2 weeks for that.

Shoulder butt...

 

[philreich]

Out: Geelong
In: Richmond, Brisbane, St Kilda or the Bulldogs

Will be nice sitting back for the next two weeks watching them fight amongst themselves.

This, and I hope it's bucketing down in each of those games, and they're all bruising encounters.
