Changes v Brisbane

[heavho]

In fyfe in the middle for whole game,Wagner
Out Odriscall, Dudley to sub

 

[Wray27]

What are Brisbanes strengths st the moment.

Poor rucks.
1 young good kpf.
Good small forwards.
Great depth in midfield and backline, but injuries starting to hurt.
Great attacking ball movement.

Who takes Morris? Pearce hopefully.

Wagner to Zorko. If not, who takes him.

Can we stop there ball movement, if they get balls out the back we will struggle.

Will the ruck dominance lead to centre clearances dominance?


The other thing to consider is 6 day break for us vs 6.5 day break for Brisbane, but travelling across the country.

Fyfe on Zorko would be an option. Defensive tag like on Heeney last year

If Dudley went out, Banfield could go forward and tag Zorko.
Wagner could go back and tag his spot, or Simpson could come in.

 

[Freomaniac]

We need more outside class and small forwards.

Nod and Dudley are lucky we have none

Well we have Shai Bolton and Fredrick as small forwards. Both had poor games vs Port.

 

[Freomaniac]

I reckon we will be unchanged. I don't know why we will.

But if there is one change.... Dudley would be out for Wagner or Walker.

Dudley had a shocker with 2 disposals. But he could be a difference maker vs Brisbane.

 

[Freomaniac]

Banners could be Tommy Sheridan v the Hawks in a prelim bad…

And that bloody hurts because Tom Sheridan wasn't a terrible player.

He was a solid rotation player that played on a wing or forward flank or back flank.

He never played in one position.

 

[s_wd6]

Well we have Shai Bolton and Fredrick as small forwards. Both had poor games vs Port.

Both had two goals each and combined for 20 score invovlements...

 

[s_wd6]

I'm not convinced Wagner will be ready considering he keeps pulling up sore. Him for Duds the obvious change otherwise.

 

[Stinky Lomax]

I think they’d like to get Simpson in as he offers quicker ball movement with aggressive kicks which we sorely miss from our back half.

 

[Mags98]

maybe get bandfield as the defensive winger and drop nod for simpson? banners should have more time and space as that plus 1 into the defence so his panic station moments would be fewer and we know he can contest the ball if necessary?

Are you kidding about Frederick having a poor game against Port?

 

[wild side]

I reckon whoever stated b4 that Wagner won't be ready. He seems to be pulling up sore.
Don't think they'll risk him

 

[Footskill]

Don't think he played the last qrter at peel...whether because maybe sore or as he done the minutes so taking him off , like Fyfe the week before..

It's possible Fyfe may start and wags starts as sub this week depending fitness

 

[Troy Cooked It]

No one has mentioned this yet I think and I feel it’s an interesting discussion point now that Erasmus looked at the level, Wagner in for Banfield instead of Simpson.
More experienced, similar kicking and drive off half back.
Erasmus/JOM can continue the tagging jobs rotating between wing and inside if the other is struggling.

Could be the move for pre finals prep?
Either way it’s a tough week for the selectors!

If Zorko plays down back I would love to see Voss run through him like a freight train.

If this matchup occurred, it would be full on "That's Entertainment".

Can't really see Zorko picking up Voss, Zorko is a runt compared with Voss.

Oh I'm well aware I'm just daydreaming out loud.

 

[Nodgey]

If Zorko plays down back I would love to see Voss run through him like a freight train.

I'd love to see this wherever Zorko plays. In fact, even when Zorko isn't playing. Maybe even in the carpark before the game.

 

[masai tu]

Nah I am looking forward to Voss tagging Andrews who is a campaigner.

Andrews plays similar to Moore, ...... "it's not my job is play on a man, my teammates can pickup up the opposition".

 

[PrancingPony]

I'd love to see this wherever Zorko plays. In fact, even when Zorko isn't playing. Maybe even in the carpark before the game.

Voss should just stare at Zorko the entire game and not break eye contact.

[yakamoto]

Zorko will just wave his wand and Voss will turn into a frog.

 

[Freomaniac]

it's almost become a meme at this point. he's going to dine out on this one moment for the rest of his career, isn't he? He didn't "win the game" for us lmao, it was merely one of many moments that ultimately contributed to the win. The guy who actually kicked the goal and all the defensive efforts that followed were just as pivotal. The reason people bring it up incessantly imo is because it was so out of character for Banners, it was like Dizzy Gillespie's double century or Ryan Nyhuis's 4 goals, one great kick has been enough to mythologise his value to the team.

I do think Banners has been very solid overall, and i still like him as a super sub, but he remains a weak link in the team and one we should improve upon if we can.

I will admit this though.... Bailey Banfield has a semi decent left foot.

Only other player that mainly kicks with his left foot is Noddy or Nathan O'Driscoll

 

[Freomaniac]

Both had two goals each and combined for 20 score invovlements...

Are you kidding about Frederick having a poor game against Port?

20 score involvements is a fair bit.

Both kicked 2 goals and 2 behinds each.

Boltons 2 missed shots were gettable, especially the missed set shot.

Frederick might of had a good game. Most of the game was a blur.

I do remember Voss, and Alex Pearce kicking goals in key moments

 

[Cam Payne]

I hear Fingers is a late withdrawal this week.
