Changes for Round 2

[wayToGo_]

Confirmed.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

What a 22

Throw is Blakely soon and far out!

 

[SHill Shall]

I reckon Lyon is going to pull the trigger on Matera in for Schultz!

Greatly relieved to see this temptation was resisted. Marvellous for Schultz (who is now joined in the 22 with Hogan - prepare for endless Hogan's Heroes throw aways from the commentary teams).

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Why this fixation by being to tall, bevy of smalls didn't help Richmond last night.
What happened to the good tall will always beat a good small opinion.
It's a different ball game with the 6 6 6 set up.

I'd be shitting myself if I was GC. Who is going to cover Hogan if Cam Lobb andTabs play like they did last week?

 

[ChimpaWompa]

so like for like then

 

[Deveraux]

Does anyone feel like calculating the average height for every team this around to see where we sit

 

[wayToGo_]

Was never in doubt. Schultz to Hogan: "Be a good fellow, and take me with you."

People will get even more excited when they remember Carter was also a character in that show.

Giro and Crowden both on the plane as well apparently.

 

[Monument Hills]

so like for like then

nah, Hoges can keep his feet.

 

[stax on the mull]

Giro & Crowden look like the travelling emergencies.

 

[Quay Club]

Interesting that 24 are on the plane including Giro and Crowden.

Late change possible?

 

[Joao]

Giro and Crowden surely just in case of rain.

 

[salim malik]

Well it won't be to replace Darcy.

 

[Joao]

Well it won't be to replace Darcy.

It could be though. Lobb and Tabs could cover Sean.

Naughton is going ok

 

[Joao]

Naughton is going ok

I never said he wouldn't

On the otherside, West Coast showed that having a bevy of talls didn't help them much either.

Yep ,forward or back as I said at the time. Still cry over not taking him.

Cerra tho

Brisbane were just as tall and sure as hell helped them

True that but I want them all.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

In the forward line? To me it looked like Hipwood and McStay were the only tall forwards. McCarthy, Cameron and resting/rotating mids schooled West Coast's defence while Allen, Darling, Brander, Waterman Hickey/Vardy didn't look agile enough.

Reckon we've got more chance of luring Naughton back than convincing Brayshaw or Cerra to come West after being picked up by a Vic club.

With Sandi pretty much down and out, I'd love to know what it would take to get English back home. What a combination him and Darcy would be.

Does anyone feel like calculating the average height for every team this around to see where we sit

We were the 11th tallest team in round 1 (by average height).

1: GWS 189.5cms
2: Collingwood 189.2
3: Port 189.0
4: North 188.6
=5: Brisbane 188.5
=5: Geelong 188.5
=5: West Coast 188.5
8: Sydney 188.3
=9: Gold Coast 187.6
=9: Hawthorn 187.6
11: Fremantle 187.3
=12: Carlton 186.9
=12: Western B's 186.9
14: Melbourne 186.7
15: Adelaide 186.6
16: Richmond 186.5
=17: Essendon 186.1
=17: St Kilda 186.1.

If Hogan replaces Ballas, our average height in round 2 will be 188.2cms.

So far there have been three games this season where one team's average height was 2+ cms greater than the other:
Port (189.0) d Melbourne (186.7) rd 1
GWS (189.5) d Essendon (186.1) rd 1
Collingwood (189.4) d Richmond (185.7) rd 2.
The only other game this round where this applies is Port (189.0) v Carlton (186.5).

One change, Hogan in for Ballaz
