Went missing after quarter time

What does Rioli having a good preseason and then injuring his foot at training have to do with the medicos?

 

[Dam0]

Any merit in starting McGovern in the centre rucks, with our #1 ruck to start as a forward?
Then as soon as bounce is done McGovern can go back to what he likes and cherry pick instead of actually defending anyone.

Maybe a:
Shepp, Barrass, Cole
Hurn, Scho, Jetta

McGovern,

Vardy/Hickey if Vardy is injured

Combo could work?

Would also give more space for JJK, Darling & whoever of the 3 young talls survives to lead/control rather than all of them charging for the same shallow grubby entry we had R1

Also, its not really as though any of our current rucks are a great benefit at the centre bounces right now anyway, so we may end up with that 'read it off the opposition ruck' strat advantage that some clubs with weak ruck stocks get.

Would also put the onus on our mids to take control of the square.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Rioli wouldn't be "50/50" if his injury had anything to do with potential stress fractures.

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

I think Simmo was just spitballing when he said "Rioli is 50-50". He wouldn't have known the scan results by then.

I'm dreading seeing a glum Vozzo tomorrow evening.

 

[RookiePick]

The familiar fear of the SJOGHU dropping begins...

Surely you’d just say “we’re waiting the results of the scan”.

50/50 implies there’s a 50% chance he’ll play this week. If not, he’s pretty much a lock for next week. An experienced coach wouldn’t throw that out there if that wasn’t the case, surely.

 

[Balls In]

Hagdorn on 6PR this morning said that Rioli has a stress fracture and his time out of the game could be "indefinite". Make of that what you will!

Perth now reporting he's 50/50 for this week.

This is BF

 

[kerr87]

Was Rioli injured or have a fam member pass away?

 

[ziad]

Stand By Liam Saturday!

Gov in the centre bounce

You don't use a Ferrari to plough a field.

He is injured and, on an unfortunate but unrelated note, also had an uncle pass away (hence the double black arm bands).

Technically NN is a 50/50 chance as well. He either does or doesn't play this weekend.

Just like there's a 50/50 chance I sleep with ScarJo tonight.

There's a 50/50 chance you'll sleep with ross Lyon tonight

 

[Dark Sharks]

Could Darling be used in the midfield for a bit of grunt?


Discuss.

 

[Obeanie1]

I think Liam Ryan was very undisciplined in that behavior at end of game. Eagles can’t afford players that are selfish and fly off the handle we need team players only!!

Easier said than done with a f#$€it kneeing y9u over from behind whilst you are sitting and cramping. The flog ended up with a $1000 fine for misconduct. Be interested if he said anything.

 

[Obeanie1]

this rioli injury seems worse then they lead on ngl

Our hard training and playing surfaces strike again!

Also if was running back home on the Tiwi's it would be on hard red soil clay roads so again quite hard.

Fingers and toes crossed.

 

[Corn69]

In: JK, Brooksby, Ahchee
Out: Brander, Hickey/Vardy and Masten

JK in for Brander is the obvious one. I know it’s one game but both Hickey and Vardy were average on the weekend, and I feel Brooksby could have more of an impact in both ruck and up forward. And Ah Chee for Masten is what I wish to happen.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

When the going gets tough, masto packs his bags for an 'I'm outta here trip.'

Along with around 18 other blokes on the weekend, but let’s all lay in the boot during a week we ought to be celebrating his long standing service to the club.

Legend.

 

[Astro7]

Ah Chee for Masten is what I wish to happen.

As much as I want to see what AhChee can offer this season...but replacing Masten?
Last season AhChee wasn't renowned for his tank?
Isn't he more the forward flanker or an inside mid?

You do know there's medication for that..?

 

[shooshka]

It looks like the weather forecast for Saturday will be a bit more conducive to the 22 we selected last week! However there have to be some changes.

Outs: Brander (unlucky imo), waterman

Ins: JK, Cripps (if he and Rioli are both unavailable it becomes interesting... dare I channel G.Lyon and suggest Watson as a defensive forward?).

We sucked in a lot of areas, whilst effort and execution need to improve, selection needs to address the lack of defence on opposition transition and our annihilation on ground ball and crumbing from packs.

Give the 2 rucks one more week... conditions were terrible for talls.
