Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. Melbourne (R21, Sat 10/08 1:45pm MCG)

[unplugged]

IN: DeGoey?
OUT: Cox?

Depends on injury of course.

I'm surprised this game didn't end up on the Friday night on the AFL's assumption that we could both be pushing for a top 4 position. Maybe they knew something after all?

They pass around the Friday night games. They don't aim for it to be the best game.

Only change if someone better becomes available.

 

[Jelly Bean]

What happened to Cox?

No change if he is right, although I'd love to get Noble in there. Would typically be expense of Daicos, but he bought himself another week with the good game.

 

[AgroMagro]

Quick, drop Rupert

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

No change.

 

[manicpie]

Wills should have been playing in the middle weeks ago, big difference when you play someone where they are comfortable

 

[Bad Horse]

How bad was the injury to Cox, and how heavy was the hit to Mayne? Other than those two, only Thomas looked like he needed to be replaced urgently. If De Goey isnt available, its forced changes only.

Will see how those two come up first.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Mayne will be fine. Just winded.

I'd assume Cox is ok otherwise we probably would have seen the incident on tv. I'm guessing either a poke in the eye or blurred vision.

It looked like Mayne was hurt, he landed very awkwardly, but I think he brushed it off and was just winded.

An eye injury hopefully it's just a poke and Cox will be fine. Nobody seemed concerned about it.

Jinx.

 

[DerekZoolander]

JDG will miss 1 more week. In: Noble Out: Daicos

 

[AmericanMustard]

Not that I’m desperate but trying to gauge the injuries, what’s the latest on Aish? I’d like to get Mayne out of that backline and up onto the wing

 

[TradeDraft]

IN: T Brown Nobel

OUT: Daicos/Mayne(Injured?) Cox

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Aish had AC joint surgery. If he's back this year doubt it will be before finals.

I would have gone with BlueSteel.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

No Change

 

[Soups]

Cox taken to hospital for his eye. Doesn’t sound great.

 

[Brent24]

Daicos and Mayne were probably the 2 I would be most keen to replace based on today. Thomas wasn't far off having a decent day, IMO.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Zorko just did his hammy.. let's see how they go without him for 5 weeks now.

Did he really? What's the bet he only misses one or two weeks. The "every other club" string.

Yep they've rapped him up in glad wrap re.

 

[whiskeytown]

Probably no change to a winning side.

Noble stiff if he misses out. T Brown inching closer to a debut

Thomas is such a tough one. I love him in the side and think our front half functions better with him playing rather than not, but I understand why he's a bit of an easy target. He's clearly better than Daicos. If our midfield works, we don't necessarily need Varcoe because we just appear quicker; but Varcoe adds something if we look a bit slow. Callum Brown appears to offer more versatility but is still a little raw at times. I think Elliott has had the biggest impact on Thomas' output just because of positioning and patterns.

I hope he stays in the side for the rest of the season because he links really well with whomever, and I think this is such an underrated aspect of our we function. He's clean and facilitates speed with and without the ball for the rest of the front half. Being captain obvious, he just needs to hit the scoreboard more.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Daicos and Thomas are the two to make way for De Goey and Stephenson .

Cant see any reason to drop them before these players are back, although its encouraging that Broomhead and T Brown are banging the door down.
