Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. MELB - Gabba, Sat 15/08 @ 5:10pm AEST

[stormskye]

Fair chance we get Port in Adelaide...?!

Brisbane at Metricon and GC at the Gabba would be nice

I would have thought we be due to play port in Bris given we’ve already been to adel in a condensed fixture.

We had Bris at mcg before they swapped that game for us to hawks...

Saturday night should be treated as the last game of the season and we must win to make the eight. Based on that Grundy must play.

Why shouldn't we treat every game like that then...?

 

[stormskye]

Why shouldn't we treat every game like that then...?

melb are a much better team than adel, and are near full strength. We had a luxury to rest players against a winless team, do that against melb and we will lose. We have to much quality missing as it is

 

[Chronz]

FFS here we go with the injury build up again. Every ******* year without fail.

 

[queensberryrules]

Danger game for the mighty Pewee Mudlarks. As always, danger is accompanied by opportunity, in this case, to free up the energy and verve of this emasculated team.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Please don’t play Wills because we don’t have Sier... Wills is awful.

No.... Wills plays. Has his obvious deficiencies but with our injuries hes an automatic selection.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Assuming Pendlebury wont play...........

In Moore Ellliott WHE and maybe Rantall
Out Sier Broomhead Roughead and maybe Varcoe

I'd be very happy to see Rantall debut
Also wouldnt be against sticking with Broomy for another week

Shouldn’t be at all

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Delist along with Callum Brown then.

Have more of a cry mate, you're just putting words into my mouth now because I clearly said I wasn't questioning Brown long term.

 

[Carringbush2010]

I just hope we don't get belted by this pathetic mob on Saturday evening.

EFA

 

[nahnah]

In: Moore, WHE, Pendles, Elliott, Reid, Cox
Out: Roughead, Broomhead, Sier, Wills, Brown, Grundy

Wouldn't be against bringing in Appleby + Rantall if someone else needs a rest or an injured in doesn't get up.

Had my conspiracy theory hat on speculating on the Port fixture. Time will tell, hopefully we find out today and fingers crossed we get based in Qld for the rest of the season

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I’d love if our last 2 games were against Port & Brisbane. Hopefully we get JDG & Howe back by then.

Those 2 teams might rest a few players too. We can get our 8 points and book a top 4 spot.

 

[Jibroni]

After last nights result the importance of this game just went up a notch, its hard to see the winner of this game not making the finals.

Broomy was the same as he has always been-low possession and low impact games.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Broomy was the same as he has always been-low possession and low impact games.

Yep . I’m always happy to err on the side of giving players a chance. But he came in for WHE and in the absence of anything to say he deserves to stay, will probably go straight out again if WHE is fit and selected.

Sounds like Pendlebury will play so he’s a straight swap for Sier

 

[frizzle]

Out - Sier (inj) Roughead (inj) Broomhead (omitted) Varcoe (omitted) Brown (omitted) Mayne (omitted)
In - Pendlebury - WHE - Elliott - Moore - Rantall - Reid

I expect a like from mike123 for the bold part

 

[Barham to Kink]

to Pendlebury or not to Pendlebury

That is the question

 

[unplugged]

to Pendlebury or not to Pendlebury

That is the question

Yes

 

[Temploar]

Every game is too important for us to be resting people who aren’t actually underdone or have histories of injury

Adams has a history of groin injuries

 

[unplugged]

I have absolutely convinced myself to play Pendles off HB and put Maynard on ball with Elliott. Now to convince Bucks...

 

[Ulahoopski]

Dees will Flog us

Starting off with your patented optimism right from the get go this week eh?

 

[Robroy22]

No.... Wills plays. Has his obvious deficiencies but with our injuries he's an automatic selection.

This is true, he's not likely to get injured travelling as he does at 0.5kmh and not kicking, marking or getting near the goals.
