Preview Changes for The Prelim

[MarcMaverick]

Out: Sheppard (brutal injury)
In: Schoey

B: Schofield, Barrass, Hurn
HB: Jetta, McGovern, Cole
C: Redden, Shuey, Masten
HF: Cripps, Darling, Rioli
F: LeCras, Kennedy, Vardy
R: Lycett, Yeo, Hutchings
I: Duggan, Ryan, Sheed, Venables
E: Ollen, Ah Chee, Nelson, Ainsworth

Let's see how close to the pin I can get.

That is a star-studded spine, brutal back six, a flawless forward structure and midfield that could run all day.

Vardy played forward last time too so it was left to Lycett to go against Gawn most of the day. With both having a go at him this time that should help. Grundy didn’t do much last game against the 2 so will be interesting to see how they go against Gawn

Whoever you have to replace Shep, is damn impressive. Definitely earned your strips, or in this case wings. Plaudits to Adam Simpson and co. for overachieving massively.

I've felt all week long that this game is either on a heartbreaking knifes-edge either way or a pounding and Eagles progressing.

Only overachieving to Melbourne media and general Victorian public ..

Thanks for the patronizing compliment. Well done to Goodwin and co for fluking a prelim but this is where it ends.
You aren't related to Robert Walls are you, or just an average Victorian? Patronizing *******es!

Ah chee would be handy too

Comparing the benches is always a kpi worth analysing.

Just trying to be civil/relaxed in a time of great tension.

Booooo

Na you're good.

 

[ep2018]

MarcMaverick is like the Melbourne supporting version of me.

Just trying to be civil/relaxed in a time of great tension.

If this is the case, you might like to pay closer attention to your words. Backhanded compliments don't cut it.

 

[BG32]

You guys got enough big guys like Lycett, Vardy, Barrass, JJK etc.. to wear down Gawn and fatigue him.

If the reports are true from our end Smith might replace Fritsch which will further tip the game in your favour.

Why?! If that change happens it's because Smith is more suited to those guys you listed

 

[ChampRevesby]

Its a different team this time around Melb fans. 2 of the best forwards in the game are playing with the AA HB back where he belongs. They should be nervous.

Thoughts with MarcMaverick and family at this tough time

So the Dockers and Melb have similar posters, big deal

 

[ZergMinion]

Schofield in for Sheppard. No surprise there (despite 25 pages of discussion).

 

[Doughboy]

 

[Seadog]

Fritsch out Joel Smith in for them.

 

[Balls In]

Mindblown

 

[woosha24]

Fritsch out Joel Smith in for them.

Not a lot of love for Smith over on the Melbourne board. Dunno enough about either player to comment.

If they hate it it must be good for us!

 

[Biggie]

I can smell fear lads.

 

[Ben88]

In.

Darcy, Brayshaw, Richardson, Bell

Out.

I said this about four days ago

This was lay down obvious call

One I’m happy with

Schofield can play on a tall on a small .....can run and carry

Can spoil well

He’s got 176 games experience...this was a no brainer call

J Smith is a Defender.

Fritsch is a link player, who runs hard either way and can kick goals. Has had an excellent year.

Our forwards have them worried.

 

[bombard]

Step 1: spook Melbourne with tall forwards
Step 2: drop emerging young link player
Step 3: get in dropped player’s ear and have him request a trade to us
Step 4: profit

 

[Chris_6678]

Yep smells like they are scared of our talls. This is good as it is one less mid rotation for them.
