Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 13 vs. Melbourne, MCG Mon 12/06, 3:20pm BIG FREEZE

[unplugged]

Pending confirmation of injuries etc

Out: JDG (susp), Mccreery, WHE (both inj)
In: Elliott, McStay, Lipinski

Carmichael a huge chance if any of those 3 are unavailable.

Also assuming Hill will be right to get up, not sure he was sighted after his mishap in the goal square.

Give it after the VFL Tommorow

 

[3rdMan]

Going early with the outs. No injuries confirmed just yet. De Goey almost certainly won't be playing though.

[76woodenspooners]

We’ve got Lipinski and McStay who are both scheduled to be available for KB.

Also we’ll be coming off a 9 day break.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Would have almost preferred to lose than lose 3 best 22 players.

We will be missing Lippa, Sidebottom, Howe, De Goey, WHE & Mcreery from our best 22 for the foreseeable future.

9 day break. Let’s wait and see

It sounds promising that we won’t lose anyone to injury. If so, I’d say:

OUT: De Goey, Harrison
IN: Lipinski, Elliott

If McStay comes in, I really don’t know who for. We were already a little top heavy. Markov has dropped off a lot the past two weeks, but I’d probably give him another week to bounce back. Ginnivan needs to lift too as we get closer to full strength.

No confirmation anyone hurt today will miss. Grant you De Goey, but Beau and Hosk aren't certain to miss.

 

[rand corp]

Outs: DeGoey, (unfortunately, will get a decent holiday), Ginnivan (Omitted)
Possible outs: (Inj.) McCreery, WHE.
Ins: Carmichael, Elliot,
Possible Ins: Bianco, Lipinski

 

[McOrist]

In: Elliott, Lipinski, Mcrae/Carmichael
Out: De Goey, Harrison, Ginnivan

 

[Sea fog]

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

Ginnivan needs a wake up call.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

Not everyone is Nick Daicos, give him more than one game.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

Thought the kid did alright. Better than the Ginnipig today.

 

[hellfire]

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

I think there’s something to work with there. Getting a spot in our forward line won’t be easy though.

 

[SchuPie]

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

After 1 game in the 1s?
Kicked one snag, almost 2
Showed some toe and nous when to lead
Only a few touches but better players have had close to donuts in their first game

 

[swoop42]

Johnson is still a wait and see for mine as he'll wake up tomorrow a very sore boy I would have thought.

 

[Occidental]

Been waiting for this one the second Melbourne recruited Grundy.
This will be a massive game and the entire narrative behind the getting rid of Grundy will be played out.
Sure the win is all that matters…. but the sub plot of the rucks will be a helluva match up.
C’mon Cameron & Coxy!

 

[hellfire]

Ginnivan needs a wake up call.

I wouldn’t be surprised McStay comes in for Ginnivan. There’s probably no net loss in ground level pressure with that change.

 

[swoop42]

Harrison deserved to finish his first game with 2 goals.

That bounce on the goal line was the stuff of nightmares.
