Preview Changes for Round 2 v Melbourne @ MCG

[BartBart]

I can't see us playing with 3 ruckmen for too many games.

 

[bombard]

If Wellers is out (idiot).. Hutchings in for him.

If Wellers survives, Hutchings in for Sheed. No harm going back to the WAFL for some more game time.

Lycett for Sinclair if we persist with three rucks. It worked well today.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I assume wellingham has carryover loadings from his hit on Simpson - otherwise it'll be a reprimand!

I'm up for the change mentioned. - shepp in, sheed full game!

How long do those loadings last?

 

[Ian Dargie]

In: Schofield, Hill
Out: Sinclair, Cripps/Wellingham

Yes, it won't do Hutchings any harm at all.

Leave Shred alone.

Did Wellingham hit his own coach & get reported for it?!

In: Schofield, Hill
Out: Sinclair, Cripps/Wellingham

Really? Cripps did fairly well - particularly early. I wouldn't drop him to bring Hill in!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

In: Schofield, Hill
Out: Sinclair, Cripps/Wellingham

Harsh on Cripps.

Harsh on Cripps.

Really? Why?

He kicked two goals in the first quarter but got on the end of it rather than creating them.

I prefer an extra genuine forward. We're taking a midfielder/wingman and trying to play him as a small forward. It's 'Chipper' Adkins v2.0.

I don't see Cripps being the kind of small forward who converts half-chances. He also didn't use the ball very well when sending it I50. We like his dash and his run and carry but I prefer an extra goal-kicker. Defensively, he was the only guy who didn't lay a single tackle.

 

[Probitas_]

Out - Priddis In - Hutchings

Surely joking?

 

[Doughboy]

Wellingham will get a week...

I don't think that Hill would be a great replacement. Hutch if fit, but shep should get a go.

If shep get named, shred for a full game

 

[jaxxon]

Priddis wasn't that great...had 14 kicks and 14 handballs. If you assume most of his handballs hit the target, that means most of his kicks missed as he had a DE of 60%. Stops the run and flow when he gets the ball too, he is slow to react. Only four clearances, and one single centre clearance. Hardly the best night of his career.

28 disposals, 5 tackles and a goal. Terrible effort.

 

[hudson2006]

Hill in for Sinclair (to shorten the forward line & keep up the pressure late in games)

Shep in for Wellingham (though it's a real shame, loved his game)

Would rather Hutchings in than Sheed, think he's the better player right now.

 

[Patron]

I would go unchanged if wellingham can play.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

How long do those loadings last?

2 or 3 years - not sure, I think they changed it in the offseason

 

[dajesmac]

I would go unchanged if wellingham can play.

this sounds dirty

 

[Bender_]

this sounds dirty

Just being conscious of water restrictions.

 

[fidstar]

In: Hutchings (if available), if not Sheppard (or sneak Daniel Kerr in Sheppard's number)
Out: Wellers

 

[Suma Magic]

Wellingham was given 309 points for his 2012 suspension - not sure what that means for carry over?

 

[Convocation]

I know you're a troll, but please stop. Priddis was superb.

 

[Swanhotels]

How was Nic Nats game? I noticed he was quiet in the stat sheet, limited time I ground. Didn't see the game but like most I love watching this guy, can't wait till he is back in full flight.

 

[Suma Magic]

I don't think Hutchings will be available until round 3.

I think Sheppard, Hill and Sheed are the options to come into the 21, with the other two the options for sub.

I think it makes sense to play the three talls again to help Naitanui get back to full fitness - assuming that it isn't wet on Sunday.

 

[ziad]

Some good options, its a great place to be.

 

[Milenko]

Did what was expected of him in limited minutes.

Impacted the ruck contests and provided pressure at ground level when on ball. Bit rusty when resting up forward, not clean with his hands.
