Preview Changes v Carlton [Good Friday Superclash]

[leighlee13]

We are a bit light in depth in the back line, and it was his first match back. He frustrates me at times, but he is a co captain in a line we need leadership.
Gos that was hard to type.

We might lack depth and/or leadership but is that really worth playing him if his poor form continues in games moving forward? It might backfire on us royally.

He’ll have to play a few weeks until we get there I guess. I hope, just like with Corr, he is underdone due to injury.
If it continues hard calls will be needed.

lol I just realised that Carlton have the bye.

We get a six day break. They get 2 weeks.

We did have a whinge that GWS had an advantage because they had a game under their belt last week, so hopefully we will survive.

McDonald isn’t out unless injured. Lazzaro offers almost nothing as the sub.
CCJ needs to drop out, agree.

Steohens - vanilla as they come

Poor Tommy. 28 and 2 and still can't break into the team

I have done this twice this year.
So many personnel changes and still the same issues.

 

[Nylex]

Ooft…this is gonna get ugly I think. Curnow and McKay 6 each I’m predicting.

Kal Dawson to Curnow, Pink to McKay, Comben third tall defender staying within 40m from oppo goal helping out. Corr, left right out

 

[Smoocher]

Out. CJ, Pink, Stephens and Stephenson.


In. Combden, Sellers, Wilphil and Bergman.

Bergman to play back and free up McKercher to play wing.

Who relief rucks if we rightfully boot CCJ? Less of an issue against Blues who basically only run with TDK? Greenwood for Laz would make sense but so dies getting in Sellers.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Structurally and based on form in the seniors and the VFL I would go with the following changes

1. Ford in for Sleevo (direct swap Sleevo as the sub vs the blues)

2. Sellers For CCJ (don’t worry about who will relief in the ruck. Surely marks and goals are more important).

3. WAP in for Lazzaro. Lazz had his 2 and now it’s time to see how Will goes. The blues pride themselves on clearance and contest. Right now I would think WAP gives us more in this matchup than Charlie.

4. Comben in for Tucker. Purely structural. Charlie plays forward and can pinch hit in the ruck. Also allows us to rotate Bull through the midfield without losing a marking target. I think we can live with whatever output we get from Comben vs Tuckers 14-15 ineffectual touches a game. Can also swing back if McKay and Charlie K get off the leash.

Stephens, Corr, lucky for this week.

Exactly that, CCJ for sellers. And Laz for Greenwood (who can provide ruck relief). And Ford to replace Stephens role on wing.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

One thing is for certain. It’s going to be nice not having Aidan Bonar as our deepest defender on McKay like we did last year. What an embarrassment that was.

 

[LeFtBehinD]

Crazy stuff as usual in here lol

We’re not dropping our captain.
Corr is underdone, but he’s our most experienced defender, we’re not dropping him.
Stephens didn’t have a great game, wing is a hard position and often go unrewarded. We brought him in to play that role, 2 games isn’t enough time to drop him.
Laz was much better than last week, he seems a confidence player, believe he’s earned more than 2 games.

CCJ though I can’t argue with.

Might be a good move to bring in both Sellers and Greenwood in that scenario.

Take your pick out of Stephens, Tucker or Lazz.

I’m prepared to give Stephens one more shot, so Tucker for me. I have no idea what the match committee thinks he’s providing

 

[The Y Factor]

Out: Coleman-Jones, Lazzaro
In: Greenwood, Phillips

Don't overcook it.

Agree on not overcooking it. It’ll be 1or 2 changes barring illness etc.

CCJ for Greenwood or Sellers is a no brainer to try something different up forward.

But despite losing, will they look to make changes to a team that has played two finals bound teams and fought hard, improved incrementally and look like breaking a game apart if they can hold it for 4 quarters?

Will the coaches look to reward the bravery to trust them and take the risks they are being asked to against top opposition?

It’s an interesting one to watch which direction they go.

CCJ is the one we have two form options kicking goals that deserve opportunities in Greeny and Sellers.

I’d love to squeeze Chom in too if they can see a way.

CCJ though I can’t argue with.

Corr is the most experienced defender making the most inexperienced bone head mistakes. Our defensive zone often breaks down because he goes up field following mid or small forwards trying to make an impact, but he leaves our smalls and other talls exposed inside D50. He is a terrible footballer.

Stephens had legit one of the softest games I’ve seen in a north jumper, was jumping at shadows all day and despite running lots had no impact at all. He is coasting, and he needs a rocket to show that we won’t stand for that sort of effort.

This is where I'm at too. Even if it's not this week, I'd want to be heading in this direction across the early part of this season (provided form holds up).

If Sellers needs more time then put Greenwood in for CCJ. Hopefully Bergman will take Lmac's spot at some point and not look back.

 

[kangafruity]

Stephens was not interested and needs to be dropped. I can't cop lethargic efforts.

He has one good quarter and then goes missing, thinking he has done enough. Its just not good enough for someone who has been around as long as he has
