Changes: Round 19 vs Collingwood

[muzzington]

Surely Wagner 100% tags Daicos.

Which one though?

Corey.

 

[Alfonz]

Horrible idea imo, if the ball falls to daicos he hurts you, where as Bolton is a terrible kick.

Are you serious? Bolton can spray the odd shot at goal, but if you are talking hurt factor, Bolton would be right up there for the most damaging/hurtful player in the competition when he gets the ball.

Bolton has a score involvement for 37% of his possessions. Daicos is at 27%. Playing forward would skew things in Bolton's favour, but I think my point is still valid.

 

[Feathercap]

It was crisp that hurt us last time I feel. Put Johnson on him and let’s get physical

Diacos's disposals have been bad this year with the extra attention. Both of them are in the 50's for kicking and 60's for disposals over all but Diacos a few % better for both categories. Nacios gets so many 1-2's that I would suspect he's probably on par with Bolton this year for disposal when it counts.

This. Crisp moved from the wing into the middle/contest and shored things up when they needed it. We didn't counter or match.

 

[freoextra]

I think us being too tall is a bit of a myth going off the averages heights across Rd 18. Only 4 teams shorter than us and 2 the same height.

Carlton - 188.1cm, 85.8kg
Brisbane - 187.9cm, 85.9kg

Gold Coast - 188.5cm, 85.2kg
Collingwood - 188.2cm, 88.3kg

Bulldogs - 190.1cm, 87.2kg
Adelaide - 188.1cm, 89.5kg

Giants - 188.8cm, 86.9kg
Geelong - 188.8cm, 87.9kg

Freo - 187.9cm, 86.8kg
Hawthorn - 187.2cm, 85.3kg

Richmond - 188.4cm, 85.5kg
Essendon - 188.7cm, 86kg

Melb - 186.8cm, 85.7kg
North - 186.7cm, 83.7kg

St Kilda - 188.3cm, 85.2kg
Sydney - 187.9cm, 87,1kg

Port - 187cm, 84.3kg
West Coast - 188.5cm, 85.8kg

We're playing one extra key forward/ruck but we don't really have medium talls so it balances out. The Bulldogs are huge.

Yeah but if you took out Dudley our team would gain two centimeters!

[Wizard]

As has Walker. You would assume this means Walker is playing as they will want him getting minutes given he had an extended break plus the recent Peel bye.

 

[Vintage]

Who’s not on the plane?

Johnson was on him last time

 

[freoextra]

Who’s not on the plane?

Without actually knowing, I can guarantee that Ras will not be on the plane and fair enough, Peel will be much better this week. Duds also probably out with Banners the obvious sub “if” Walker is playing.

I’d say young or JOM is the sub and banners and duds are out

Thats because Daicos is tagged almost every week. You sre comparing an 80% forward time player to a midfielder who is tagged...

all travelling - from those named on the bench.

Will be Banfield travelling emergency and Young sub I would think

Young, Walker, Murphy Reid, Nathan O’Driscoll, Corey Wagner and Bailey Banfield all travelling - from those named on the bench.

Yes, exactly as expected.

I think there is a chance Reid or NOD could be sub though.

Banfield definitely travelling emergency.

 

[Paracleet]

Diacos's disposals have been bad this year with the extra attention. Both of them are in the 50's for kicking and 60's for disposals over all but Diacos a few % better for both categories. Nacios gets so many 1-2's that I would suspect he's probably on par with Bolton this year for disposal when it counts.

All those Grablett style 1-2's are probably why his ranking (35 all players, 25th mid or forward mid) is so much lower than his reputation would have you expect. Whatever the deficiencies of the ranking systems, they are all good in that they ignore stat padding disposals.

 

[chaosball32]

Young in, Dudley out, Walker listed as emergency

is like a cockroach.

 

[mayne iac]

I’d say young or JOM is the sub and banners and duds are out

I reckon young will be sub

 

[StingBitten]

Happy for Young.

Banfield in over Walker and Erasmus. Yeah OK then.

 

[Vintage]

Yes, exactly as expected.

I think there is a chance Reid or NOD could be sub though.

Banfield definitely travelling emergency.

Interesting, Walker is the travelling emergency.

Looking at the bench and given Young is playing fwd/mid, banners must be in the 22.

I could make a case that any of Reid, young or nod could be sub. Or even wags! Bring in the 5 on the bench rule!!

 

[noise36]

Banfield in defence over walker is nuts but glad to have youngy back

 

[David Bubb]

without Hill Collingwood don't have an obvious small forward for Walker to play on. I still would have preferred him over Banfield but it's nothing worth melting over. Young still to be sub I think, unless Banfield is sub but that means Wagner would be playing back and not tagging Daicos which would be sacrilege

 

[kuhni]

Good decision in Banfield keeping his spot, flexibility allows us to move the magnets (Wagner, Bolton) however we need. With Young in there is even less reason to have Ras.

 

[Alfonz]

Disappointed to see Mitchell has been "managed". Was hoping he'd be one of their main disposal winners. He moves so slowly and can't kick and would have been a liability.
