Preview Changes: R22 vs Brisbane

[whitey_1975]

Having done the 5th metatarsal it’s what I thought

And here I was laughing out loud at your last post about the port doc, then this? Huh, I thought you were being very clever cause they are also known as a Jones fracture anyway looks like I'm the only idiot laughing.

I’d imagine Brisbane don’t fly home until tomorrow.

With a 3pm game here in Perth that won’t finish until 6pm and a 5+ hour flight to Brisbane (plus a 2 hour time difference) there’s no way they’d travel back today.

So they get back Monday into Brisbane and play us Saturday afternoon .

Plenty of time for them to make the overnight flight home. There are a bunch of flights which leave Perth around midnight, arriving in the east coast capitals around 6-7am. I've done the red eye flights to Melbourne and Sydney many times.

These flights really screw with the body clock, but they get the players home much earlier. Not sure if they would take this option, given the obvious compromises to player recovery, but the option definitely exists.

I’m not that clever

Murphy's last 3 away games against Bombers, Pies, Demons (2/3 very good teams) were bloody terrible.

Averaged 8 disposals, 1.9 tackles, 2 inside 50's, 1 goal, 0 goal assists.

We lost those 3 games by a combined 24 points.

We need to drop him for our best forward line of the year:

Out: Jones / Murphy
In: Pedlar / Rankine
Sub: Sloane

Forward line with rotations of Walker, FOG, TT, Rankine, Pedlar, McAdam, Rachele, Keays.

Murphy has to come out.

Can't afford a guaranteed passenger in this game.

I think its Collingwood's to lose, obviously top 4 have an advantage, if we could finish 5th or 6th, get a home final. I reckon it pretty even, it will be the side that hits form at the right time and once you get in who knows with an ounce of luck, we may be a sneaky chance.

Murphy has to come out.

I know that moustache is a bit suss but are you sure on that call?

 

[spenze]

Where's this stuff coming from that Rankine might be good to go? I haven't read anything official, only from BF.

News report late week he is back running and may be in line for a recall for Brisbane. It'll be 3 weeks so maybe but I'd doubt it

 

[beartoo]

I'd rather we carry Rachele than carry Murphy.

I've been critical of Murphy, but he played very well yesterday.

Why would they take a red eye. That thing ****s you for a week

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Agreed. Maybe time to give Berry a chance. Maybe on Cameron. Berry is a tackling machine.

Didn't Max shut-down Charlie last time?

I would keep this given can match him in air & on the ground.

Good point. I was thinking what Picket done to him. He needed the break at that time.

His game just keeps getting better and better the further we get from the match.

He had 1 good quarter and then was average. Slow down.

Gets you home earlier, but yes it's ugly.

As I said, the option is there. Whether they choose to use it is another matter entirely.

Is Hamill a chance for Jones? We do need speed. Otherwise maybe Parnell.

Yep, we haven't dropped him after he's played awfully. We certainly aren't dropping him after a good game

I'm most worried about Brisbane's medium forwards

Awkward match ups. Max can't take them all

BF is as official as it gets

Interesting to see who lines up on Mitch Hinge, which one of his old teammates?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Murphy won’t get dropped after today , in our top dozen

He’s a momentum killer. He was the recipient of a few high tackles that made his game look better than it was.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Hinge needed as 7th defender.

Smith already playing wing. We moved Schoenberg on to a wing tonight & Murphy at times with Sloane playing through the middle.

I would be playing Smith, Schoenberg & Soligo as main 3, but rotating some of our forwards too.

Murphy is not a wingman

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Murphy is not a wingman

Better than as a forward though...

I would use Smith, Soligo & Schoenberg, with others pinch hitting.

No more players with unreliable kicks please

Just because he’s not a good forward doesn’t mean he should play wing.
