Opinion Changes for Round 2 vs The Blues

[BulldogMuscle]

If we're looking at
JUH, Sweet, TOB in I think that automatically improves us in a few positions around the ground.

It gives us some resemblance of a structured team

 

[Optimistic Dog]

I will try my guess at the little hints Bevo gave out JUH and Hunter will play surprising no questions on Windscreens O'Brien but I guess he plays. We have a couple of players with Covid but not those close to selection. Seemed to be a bit coy on if one of Bont, Caleb or Dale missing. Maybe one them does not get up.

 

[Dog 36]

I don’t think anyone has come back from the syndismosis and been firing immediately, is a prick of an injury. Still would rather Cerra was in and Walsh took another week off.

[adogsfan5]

In: JUH, OBrien
Out: Cordy/Schache, Vandermeer

 

[footscray1973]

Younger me would revel in good oppo players missing. These days I'd rather play full strength oppos - best way to challenge and measure yourself. (Not averse to hoping at least one team getting a few critical injuries though! )

[doggies ftw]

All I want for Christmas is JUH and Sweet to play this week

Oh **** me pleaseeeeeeeee

 

[The 4th Horseman]

Oh fu** me pleaseeeeeeeee

At least have dinner bought for you first, before saying things like that

Any news on Bont? Would assume he plays even at 90%?

 

[Mofra]

It does, but we'd have to sacrifice a runner to get those guys in. I don't think we'd do that.

I can't see us fitting Schache, TOB and Gardner in the same side.

I am wondering who handlebars will drop, Schache or Gardy. The former was poor last week but handlebars said in his presser he played well.

 

[dergert]

Also, we would be expecting Duryea to come in?

I can - IF we drop Cordy and move Schache forward full time.
Who knows ff we'll do that though. Means TOB rotates purely as an interceptor and Crozier perhaps plays tall if TOB rests.

That begs the question - can we play Williams, TOB & Crozier in the same side?
Richards has demanded his spot based on pre-season and round 1 form so that's one change from last year.

Apologies, Cordy is the one I forgot.

I actually don't mind the look of Naughton, JUH and Schache. Given Schache can play a roaming role outside 50.

Imo we can play Williams, TOB and Crozier in the backline- but we have Duryea to come in, who is a must.

Maybe Gardner misses out and TOB plays tall?

Isn't TOB mainly an intercept defender? McKay and Curnow need to be matched up, Keath is one, can TOB play man-on-man if required? (Not questioning his ability, just don't really know enough about him.)

 

[NBates]

Official farewell to Easton at 6.50pm tomorrow.....

Keath came to us as an intercepting defender... Now he's a pure 1v1 defender.

Who knows what Bevo has planned for TOB.

Not really, but I’d still rather TOB than than Cordy play on either of them. I’d think Keath gets McKay and Gardner gets Curnow. Curnow’s strength probably a real issue for Gardner but at least Gardner should be able to go with him in terms of mobility.

 

[footscray1973]

What a magnificent profile!

 

[footscray1973]

Yeah, I get that, but think Keath had 1:1 traits even though Crows played him differently just wondering what TOB's capabilities are.

 

[footscray1973]

Yep, but I was responding to dergert who suggested just Keath and TOB as the 2 KPDs, and leaving out Gardner completely.

 

[ScottyDogg]

And Robbie McComb.

Hey dergert I’m assuming you aren’t taking the piss and are actually bullish on McComb?

Interested in your thoughts. Based on our experiences with Hayes, Scott, etc. Cant help but expect that our Footscray additions will be nothing more than depth. Any particular reasons why you think he might make it at AFL level?

 

[Jeff 1975]

In JUH, Sweet / Martin, TOB

Out Weightman, Schache, R. Smith

50/50 tongue in cheek and extracting the urine.

I'm actually a big fan of his VFL work. Has a great left foot and is great on the inside.

Oliver Gigacz did you happen to have access to McComb's kicking efficiency for last year?

Imo, he's a better prospect than our other Footscray recruits bar Anthony Scott. Purely because Scott did go forward at times in the VFL with success.

I'm not sure his game with translate to whatever role Beveridge will give him.

 

[dergert]

Yep, but I was responding to dergert who suggested just Keath and TOB as the 2 KPDs, and leaving out Gardner completely.

That's purely because I don't know how else we would fit Richards, Williams, Dale and Duryea into the backline.
