Prediction Changes for Rd 3 vs Brisbane

[Chappy McChap]

We could be looking to fill venables role? We seriously need a player to fill his role.

Venables couldn't even fill the Venables role!

 

[FreeTK]

To be honest, facing Brisbane without McGovern won't be such a huge deal.

They have an unorthodox forward line. One of Rotham should come in for Gov, and Cole for Nelson. With Sheppard taking Cameron.

If we lose, I don't think we can hang it on Gov getting suspended.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

The Telstra tracker was pretty damning. We lost AVG speed in attack and defence were doubled overall in repeat sprints had only 2 out of the top 5 in terms of total KMs. Had no player in the top 5 AVG speed. Ah Chee had the highest AVG speed in attack and the most repeat sprints. Whoever plays the workrate needs to be a hell of a lot better all over.

 

[ziad]

I feel the need for speed

 

[Bacchus]

Brisbane have three talls in their forward line, McInerny very tall.

I think Schofield's experience is necessary to replace McGovern.
Nelson has to go out, just a no impact player. Don't mind if any of Rotham, Cole or Watson replace him. I probably prefer Rotham. He is a not a true KPD but more a third tall. Seems to be a good stopper too.

Both Petch and AhChee did nothing in the forward line. I would replace Petch with Williams. Fwd line is tall but all the best replacement players are tall.

 

[FreeTK]

This weeks injury report is out:

Hutch - minor setback in recovery, still about 4-5 weeks away from being available
Cameron - Doing well, will play some minutes in this weekends scrimmage game against Brisbane (i.e. won't be available for senior team)
Shuey - Took a couple of knocks and is a bit battered and bruised. Should be right to play

Their talls aren't their most dangerous players. McInerny kicked 10 goals last year.

2019 Brisbane leading goal kickers:

Cameron 57
Hipwood 35
Zorko 23
McCluggae 23
McStay. 20

So you want 3 tall forwards + 2 rucks?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Let's not go into another slippery condition game with way too many talls, please MC.

Zorko in some doubt for them.

Zorko will need to prove his fitness later in the week after pulling up sore following Saturday's win against Fremantle. He had been nursing Achilles soreness in the lead-up to the game and will again be managed during the week

 

[Obeanie1]

Forecast sunny but with showers.

If slippery.

Out: JK, Gov, Ah chee, Brander

In: Williams, Schofield, Watson, Treacy / Jones whoever is best to go.

Two of those leading five goal kickers - Hipwood and McStay are tall.

I can't see us dropping Kennedy yet. Darling has to play, so we are in a bit of a bind. Either play an undersized out of position Allen in the ruck, play him as a forward and be too tall, or don't play him at all. Allen was our best fwd against GC by a mile. The four small forwards put together weren't worth a bucket of shit.

What do you do? Are there any small players worth a game? Ainsworth? Just joking.

I know you want to drop JK but that isn't going to happen.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: Gov (brain fart), complacency
In: Schoey, effort

B: Sheppard, Schofield, Hurn
HB: Jetta, Barrass, Duggan
C: Gaff, Shuey, Brander
HF: Cripps, Darling, Sheed
F: Ryan, Kennedy, Allen
R: Naitanui, Kelly, Yeo
I: Nelson, Redden, Ah Chee, Petruccelle
E: Williams, Rotham, Waterman, Jones

Gone conservative with Schofield over Rotham. Think that’s our best side for this week, as much as I’d like to get a game into Roth. Schoey to take the deepest tall forward (whether that’s Hipwood, McStay or McInerney) and let Barrass play Gov’s role, which honestly he seems better suited to compared with the role he usually plays.

Shep to get first crack at Cameron. Nelson next in line if he gets off the chain.

Ah Chee and Petch are really beneficiaries of the unavailability of Rioli, Venables and Cameron. I think bringing in a Jones (off interrupted preparation) or Treacy would be bit of an overreaction, but they should be on notice. Jones is in the emergencies for that reason.

Waterman and Williams unlucky but we can’t afford to get any taller.

If Shuey doesn’t get up I really don’t know who we bring in. Maybe Jones, with him and Ah Chee taking some midfield rotations.

If their talls only have last weeks Barrass to contend with they will destroy us. Even against GC our one on one defence was often hopelessley undersized. Problem is their talls could mark.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

BAHAHA. Venables role? He was the worst player and most overrated player during that period. He had no role period. If role you mean 6 possessions a game kicking 1-2 goals. We pumped games in him hoping to get a diamond out of coal.

I think you're forgetting fwd pressure, that was his role. Not 20 disposals and 3 goals a game.

You might be joking but, in terms of availability, Ainsworth is probably the next small available and, in his limited games, did not disgrace himself.

 

[Gwaihir]

Hope Nelson got a massive spray for shoving that Sun with the rough head into our new skipper. Just dumb. Not sure he should be dropped for it (but I did at the time). Skip was the only one layin it on the line in that second half and that was just about the last straw.

 

[RookiePick]

Preparing our Ainers for the rest of the season? Might be wise after Saturday's effort.

 

[Dark Sharks]

OUT : Gov (Fat/stupid)

IN : Schofield


How weird is it to have just have absolutely zero confidence in the right team now? Compared to how we felt coming in a week ago

An absolute thrashing at the hands of the worst team of all time, which was depleted, tends to do that i suppose. Not confident we'll beat ANYONE in the hub.

 

[WCE Wizard]

We need to fire up and I want to see some fire in the belly. We need to scrap and need to get our hands dirty, I dont care if we win 45-25

 

[Obeanie1]

In the mix: Who's pushing for selection in round three?

Who's knocking on the selectors' door? Who's coming back from injury? And who's under the pump?

www.afl.com.au

Verdict: Schofield, Cole and Waterman in for McGovern, Nelson and Ah Chee.

Extra height in attack to stretch the Lions' undersized defence. - Mitch Cleary

Ahhrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure lets go even taller. FFS!!!!

Ainsworth would come in for Shuey.

You are being very lenient on some who made zero impact last week. But that is how we tend to roll, players stuff up they get another crack to redeem themselves.

I just hope that if it is slippery we actually play a smaller side better suited to conditions. Its a lesson we don't seem to ever learn until injury forces talls out and then we all of a sudden look great.

"Stretching undersized defence" funny how this gets bandied about so often still, despite it not being a thing for the last decade at least

[Chris_6678]

If it is wet i want to see Redden replace Brander on the wing. Brander wasn't to bad in dry weather on the wing where he took 7 marks but he wasn't that flash in the wet which is fair enough.

From there why dont we bring in Brayshaw? He can become that tagger in the middle and tell him to block and tackle and just go for it.

Is Jamaine Jones up to fitness? Before being re-drafted he played forward in the VFL and was a known to chase and tackle ( something we clearly lack atm)
