Changes For Round 23

[Frank Gallagher]

Out: Madgen
In: McLarty

 

[Pies_10]

No change unless howe comes in.

 

[Soups]

No change unless howe comes in.

Yep should be the only one, but I’m not sure he’ll get up for the flight over.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Out Oxley/Madgen
In Howe

No resting players unless they are a genuine injury risk. Might need every single score to gain sufficient percentage for top four.

 

[Matt_352]

Maybe rest Jordan

 

[MooreTreloar]

Hopefully Howe is ready to go and I think Murphy stays in. Not sure who would go out for Howe.

 

[Gaben]

Gotta be Oxley for Howe. I'd be happy to try Oxley for McLarty too if Howe doesn't get up.

 

[The Dawes]

Oxley was ok today but still think he makes way for Howe if the latter is finally right to go

 

[anshell]

No changes unless Howe is 100% fit.He might need to get a bit of match fitness for the finals after missing three weeks in a row.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Howe in for Oxley the only change if Howe is fit.

Almost tempted to rest DeGoey to make sure he is ready for September

 

[Finnishpie]

Can’t drop Oxley after today. He was, well, not exactly good, but solid. The unlucky one would be Murphy, who will be a player but isn’t yet quite ready.

Q - does Murray come back in?

In Howe
Out Murphy

Need to come 4th and play Richmond in the first week. But to do that we need results to fall our way.

 

[adammania9]

Madgen? What more can you ask for given our situation? Man is staying.

Out: The Ox
In: John Entwistle or Jeremy Howe

 

[Maggie5]

Yep should be the only one, but I’m not sure he’ll get up for the flight over.

Hocking on ABC radio said he trained this morning and seems likely. 100% improvement after procedure.

Good to hear!

 

[Didstar]

Howe for Oxley for mine. Oxley was okay, but had a couple of turn overs early. Was quite good when our midfield go on top, as were most of the defence.
Not sure about Madgen though, going okay. Maybe will be a bit better with Howe as cover.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

If there is any doubt on De Goey then I'd be leaving him out... surely we can beat Freo without him.

Oxley redeemed himself in the second half, thought he was good after a shocking first half, but he still makes way if Howe is right.

 

[Spatfers]

Out: De Goey (rested), Grundy (rested), Pendles (rested), Oxley (Omitted)

In: Blair, McLarty, J. Smith, Howe

[whiskeytown]

No change. Save Howe the return flight. Have him cherry ripe for finals.

Edit: Oxley out... anybody in

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Out: Oxley
In: Howe

Not sure about Murray's fitness

 

[TradeDraft]

In: Murray Howe(IF Fit)

Out: Oxley ?

 

[unplugged]

Maybe rest Jordan

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if this happens.

I almost wouldn't play Howe unless he's 100% either, especially with the travel, although maybe the run in the legs will do him good.

Maybe no change again until Howe can replace Oxley.

Not sure about Murphy... do we keep him in?

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Once again looking at the selection pattern this season would be best indication.

Overall themes:

• Like for like
• New players get more than one game as an unofficial rule
• Possession of positions is beneficial
• The best players do come back in

On this basis I'd suggest:

Howe is certain to return assuming he's uncorked.
Means a like for like type makes way.
That seems simple enough being Oxley.

We also know Murray to be likely available but is he a certain inclusion; suggest he's not that, yet.

So really it's a judgment call on Murphy and how he'd go two games in a row.
Have a feeling he remains.

One change hence:

In: Howe
Out: Oxley

Emergencies to be taken to Fremantle:

McLarty, Murray, Oxley, Daicos

As an aside, have a feeling Callum has been earmarked as having done what's required but that's it unless it's a last minute call up. Another pre season will be highly beneficial.

Ps I'm happy resting Stephenson between round 23 and the finals. That middle week
