Strategy Changes v Adelaide

[BrisDog]

Only one place fo JJ! Full forward.l beleive Rohan Smith knows something about playing there.Learn about beating the tag and using pace to lead.Movement on the forward line would be nice.Hopefully he will compete in the air as well.Libba or Wally can run with Sloane.

Don't mind it - would be handy in the Joe the Goose scenario.

 

[ossie_21]

We can't be serious with JJ to tag Sloane.

FWIW I think that suggestion is/was taking the piss as both of them are shit when being tagged, so it would either balance out or both make them play as normal

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Stevo mentioned in passing on the news tonight that he expects that Dickson will be dropped.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Dickson hasn't been sighted in a game for a long time.

 

[The Inbetweener]

You would think Smith in for Honeychurch would be a chance.

Would love to see Williams in and stay in for the rest of the year

 

[Libba39]

We just needs go-ers in this week. Based on that Stringer would definitely be out. I'm expecting 3 to four changes.

Yeah. A return of the men of mayhem this week would be much needed food for the soul.

 

[TMoney22]

Smith in for Dickson would be nice, give Smith some more midfield time to crack in and let Honeychurch work the forward line pressure. Wouldnt mind seeing how both of them go in the forward line. Surely that helps keep it in.

Honeychurch doesn't deserve to be dropped yet. Another game like last week and he will be. But all we need from him is to apply pressure and create opportunities for himself and others, which he did the first 2 weeks. Thats his ceiling, others should be expected to do the rest

 

[Mattdougie]

Chairs on the titanic this week.

May be the first game in years I don't watch a second of.

We are so far off in respects to coaching and playing this year it's baffling who we did what we did last year but we will always have that.

AA average as the players have been Bev has been just as ordinary unfortunately.

Doesn't mean you stop watching. Keep supporting the club you love.

 

[Aaron929]

Who are you guys expecting to get dropped and come in?

Also who will tag sloane?

We have to replace Hartigan there's talk Doedee will get his debut game but I have a feeling we will just bring in Otten so we will have a fairly slow defence

But no Dickson and no Jong, surely its party time ?

 

[Doggies_13]

Really don't like the idea of smith in for Dickson. I think Dickson should be dropped definitely but smith has looked slower and less mobile than big red this season.

Has smiths mobility improved at all at vfl level? He has looked extremely slow compared with last year

 

[The Original Swooper]

Don't mind it - would be handy in the Joe the Goose scenario.

It's the Joe the Goose goals going their way that worries me most. With our press pushing further than most we offer plenty of opportunity for them to happen. With speedsters Betts and Cameron and notorious Joe the Goose specialist Jenkins this game will get frustrating at best, ugly at worst.

This is why I'm not so sure about Roberts/Collins coming in this week. Smaller and more mobile might be the go, but then you risk getting killed in the air.

It's a tough one. Back the misfiring midfield to pick it up, and have confidence picking a smaller defence to cut down on the cheapies, or risk getting smashed in transition by picking a "safer" defensive setup?

So many different directions the MC could go in this week.

Surprisingly had a sensible convo on the Crows board re my concern. I suggested Roughy may be going to Jenkins they tell me most coaches do get sucked in to playing a lumbering type on him then he burns them for pace. They also admit his surprising pace is what makes him look a lot better than he actually is.

 

[SayerTheCreator]

IN: Smith, Williams

OUT: Dickson, Suckling

Regarding the concerns about Smith, how much worse could he be than Tory right now? Plus he had 16 tackles last week.

 

[SayerTheCreator]

And 16 the week before!

 

[Martyn_30_]

Suckling has to stay in who else going to kick in, be given cheap kicks, miss targets, miss tackles and not defend one on one.

Now I have anxiety about Roughead playing on Jenkins tomorrow evening.

 

[Dog Rising]

Since we bomb it in more often now, maybe we should play Rough at CHF. No way can he play back ever again.
Dickson for Smith. Surely Honey and Smith can bring enough F50 pressure to assist Rough and Red. Stringer more midfield minutes. Have to do something with him...can't leave him in F50...
Libba and Roberts in. My pick would be Suckling out but that won't happen so might as well throw a dart at the team sheet for omissions.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

dickson dropped according to stevo

 

[Golden_6]

Now I have anxiety about Roughead playing on Jenkins tomorrow evening.

It's either Roughy or Roberts unfortunately. No one else would have the size to go with him.

 

[Dav1d]

Also who will tag sloane?

We have to replace Hartigan there's talk Doedee will get his debut game but I have a feeling we will just bring in Otten so we will have a fairly slow defence

Don't expect anyone to, we rarely tag
