Preview Changes/Preview Round 2 v Brisbane

[Dory_77]

Brisbane were ordinary v Port, but you'd think they respond strongly up there.
I'm drafting this at QT v the Dogs. How good were we! No need to change after that performance. Great there were no bullshit injuries!

OR

Out: Melbourne
In: Casey (yes I'm aware Casey got flogged today too)

 

[Scythe]

Can't imagine we bring all four back at once.

If Fritsch fit, out Laurie.
If May fit, out Tommo.
If Viney fit, out Sparrow.
If Salem fit, IDK. Probably play him at Casey. Rivers is still panicky with ball in hand, but probably unfair to drop him off that.

EDIT: forgot Kozzy.

 

[Daemon]

Some hard calls here I think.
Tomo was pretty good, if May is fit, who goes out?
Fritsch maybe replaces Tmac. He plays tall anyway and Tmac did **** all.
Viney for Laurie? Maybe not if Kozzie is out.
Will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[Lord Nev]

May, Fritsch & Viney for Tomlinson, Laurie & Pickett (will sit out a week IMO).

 

[Tulip]

If fit:

Fritsch for Pickett
May for Tomlinson
Viney for Laurie

No need to rush Salem back into that defence. Let him find form at Casey after little pre-season prep. He's never been good half fit.

If none of them get up, then just Jordon for Pickett.

 

[Topkent]

Agree re Salem, make the campaigner play reserves he sucks half fit.

I'd be tempted to keep Tomlinson over Petty, had a crap pre season and looks devoid of all confidence right now

Fritsch needs to come in if fit for Kozzy who will get a week or 2 regardless if he actually hit the head because of the concussion storm

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Fritsch for Pickett

Viney for Harmes

May for Tomlinson (stiff but can’t play 4 tall defenders)

Only way I’d include Salem is if it’s sub for Melk.

I’d give Laurie another, especially with Kosi out. Don’t think you learn much about a debutant when they just can’t get into the game. Plenty of good players have barely touched it on debut.

 

[LeverPuller]

OUT:
Pickett (susp)
Laurie
Tomo

IN:
Viney
May
Fritsch

Sparrow very lucky

 

[dylan93]

• Harmes OUT, Viney IN
• McVee OUT, Salem IN
• Melksham OUT, Fritsch IN
• Laurie to Tac Sub

Fingers crossed Kozzy gets off. If he gets pinged, I imagine Laurie stays in.

From what I'm hearing, May won't be ready till Round 3-4. The others should be good to go next week.

It also wouldn't surprise me if only Viney and Fritsch come in though, and we take a conservative approach.

 

[The Dr]

OUT:
Pickett (susp)
Laurie
Tomo

IN:
Viney
May
Fritsch

Sparrow very lucky

This is pretty much how I have it too.

Salem has a history of playing poorly after a break, and our backline was great, so I really hope he plays at least a couple of VFL matches first up.

Pickett getting weeks for hitting a shoulder?? Wtf? No injury, no concussion. Weak as p*** you lot. Cripps, Ryan, Rioli ko'd blokes last year and got off.

100%. Nobody should be above playing VFL footy to get fitness and form. Salem absolutely has a history off stinking it up coming back off a lay off. Will be disappointed if hes straight back in without playing some VFL first.

 

[mrmonkey]

Salem definitely needs to regain fitness through the 2s. This isn't a normal injury he's recovering from a thyroid problem.

Tomlinson out for may (if fit)
Laurie and pickett to make way for fritsch and viney.

I agree with others on sparrow being lucky, he probably goes out if pickett isn't suspended.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Trial by media in full effect today. Somebody please think of the children crowd out in force.

Pushing hard for the AFL to ignore the points system and give more on a bump that didnt connect. ****ing idiots.

Start suspending people on intentions, by next year we can start suspending players for have evil thoughts.

Funnily enough the headlines don't actually justify the weeks suggested. Cornes and Barrett are like "that's the worst thing I've ever seen on a footy field, he should get 2 weeks" lol.

Kane wants more, was talking 4 weeks

Who will man on Charlie Cameron?
Bring back Hibberd please

Unironically May

Kozzy given 2 weeks...challenge that shit

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Kozzy given 2 weeks...challenge that s**t

Buddy gets 1 for hitting a guy in the head, Kozzy gets 2 for not. Make it make sense.

 

[jhong]

Buddy a 1 week ban despite clearly getting his opponent in the head . I’m not convinced Kozzie got smith in the head .

Thought the same thing . Wonder what the Crow player will get .

 

[Bluelegs]

I reckon we'll challenge. High impact pulled out of thin air

These guys watch footy for a living and that's the worst thing they've seen lol

They graded it careless which I thought was generous given how he flew at Smith.
