Not sure either about long for Cripps

Beau started really well as inside mid against them last year before he got knocked out
We could possibly split JDG and beau time in there and switching forward

If we can take Weitering out of the play it will go a long way to us winning.
With the 3 mobile tall forwards does it give us more flexibility to keep trying to drag him back to the goal square or take him further up the field so that we can keep targeting the player he isn’t picking up at the time.

That's the way I would go - he can't cover all three, and one keeping him occupied will free up the other two.

Will White debuting for them

We literally had to stop one player last game - Libba and couldn't.

Hope we have something better in mind for Cripps other than Long.

It’s the scoreboard that matters, not individual players.

Came down here because I realised I left my power bank during vfl training- found it. So might as well hang around for the captains run.

I don’t expect any realise any real surprises in terms of selection but we’ll see

McKay doesn't deal with bodywork particularly well so Billy would be ideal.

Came in late then got punched in the head. Not an ideal night to dominate.

Long has played 57% game time and remains our 2nd highest tackler behind Schultz. He’s also shaping up as an important clearance worker. While he’s a bit one paced, he’s building nicely and getting closer to be included as a starting 22 than as a Sub. Appears coachable and sticks to his task.
Our outside runners, Perryman & Lipinski need to consistently achieve 300m+ meters gained games to impact and finish off our stoppage work. While solid contributors, we need them to influence matches consistently when the whips are cracking. Lippa, I reckon is set for another Port like performance tomorrow night.

Perryman isn't playing as an outside runner. He's been mainly inside midfield and last game he replaced Reef as a core defender when Reef did his knee.

Weitering will set his positioning - and they'll switch match ups for him to maintain that. He's too good a player to let himself be dragged out of the action.

They call him The Flag over there.

Thats true in part, he's been shifted around to fill gaps, similar to Crisp's role. But we need him in linkage play to move the ball swiftly into the F50. The GWS match he played better when allowed to run.

Are you going to the VFL game on Sunday?
Might see you there if you are.

Individual players heavily influence the scoreboard

So does kicking easy goals.
Do that and we beat the Bulldogs by five goals.

 

[cfc19902010]

Nineteen straight in practice game against tigers and last week can’t hit the side of a barn

Crisp to sub?

I think he's been recruited as our post Pendles plan. He's quality. Was excellent in defence last game. I don't think they'll play him on the outside that often.

Hollands might get excited thinking he’s Walter’s son

Crisp to sub?

Reckon Long is a better chance than anyone to be sub again, despite the love fest that goes on for him on here.

 

[thommo_legend]

Looks like McKay will miss, wasn't at training

We need to mentally prepare for Lewis Young kicking 4 goals and then deactivating our Big Footy accounts.

I don’t know why you quoted me in your post.

You said - “In the minority, but Cox > Membrey. Maybe having Membrey makes our forward line slightly more agile. ”

I posted - “Slightly???”

We are certainly more than “slightly” more mobile in our forward line with Membrey instead of Cox.

You didn’t respond to that so why quote me?

Yes, just slightly.
