Preview Changes v Melbourne Demons, Sunday 3:20pm Marvel Stadium

[Chadwiko]

Be interesting to see what Clarko and the Match Committee do after that one.

I'm guessing probably the following;

OUT: Comben (Inj), Tucker (omit)
IN: Pink, Hardeman

If Logue is also injured, and wasn't just cramped at the end of the game, then one of Dawson or Whitlock to potentially come in.
If Archer is suspended (imho he should not be) then probably Zac Fisher to come in and a bit of a shuffling around in defense to account for it.

If Archer is out we're so ****ed.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Out: Logue (inj), Chom (injured), Arch (suspended?)

My Ins: W Dawson, Whitlock, Hardeman


*Arch doesn’t deserve a suspension, but it’s every chance of happening because it’s the afl.

 

[Caracas]

Herald Sun says we had nil injuries. Big game for us, it goes without saying. We need to bring the pressure early and not relent. Tidying up our field kicking is a non-negotiable.

 

[Possession]

Our defence outs are already looking really bad. I would have dropped Comben for K. Dawson anyway but no Logue or (most likely) Archer will make their forward line too much to overcome. Extremely frustrating because it will set us all the way back on cleaning up and building upon the better offensive side of our game last night.

 

[The Nostradamus]

it’s Whitlock time

 

[HTPunter]

No unforced changes. Think last night was our best team available & while some players make me infuriated, they deserve a 2nd game for cohesion & dust the cobwebs off.

Logue, Archer & Comben the concerns for forced changes.

Think Archer will be fine. Will go straight to tribunal (rightly - it is far too difficult for MRO to completely write off so needs to be classified as careless, severe, head high which is straight to tribunal and then it can be argued on merit).

Pink and K.Dawson first choice ins

 

[HBFlanker]

Out: Comben
In: Whitlock

Corr - Van Rooyen
Whitlock - Jefferson
Logue - Loose
Archer - Fritsch
Phillips -Viney/Oliver

Need big lifts from LDU, Colby, Bailey.

There is no better game to debut Whitlock. They have one key forward in JVR, and will play a kid as another which is a perfect match up for Whitlock.

 

[buttox]

If logue or comben miss I'd be happy with wawson in for them.
Personally I'd drop zurhaar for bgz if he's fit. Not sure he is.

Good point, if they feel Whitlock is ready then why not. Didn't realise Dees had a KPF playing his first game today.

 

[LeFtBehinD]

Logue sat out the game with a hammy, how are people thinking he plays?

Chom was uncharacteristically awful, I really hope he’s not seriously injured, if not he might be saved with Logue out. Melbourne don’t have great marking forwards as long as we can nullify JVR.

Archer would be a massive loss. I wouldn’t force any changes, give this side more time to gel as we were doing a lot right.

No ice was walking fine
Might just be overly cautious hammy awareness

 

[Only Forwards]

It won’t matter the change that needs to happen is between the players ears.

Until they collectively work out they’re wasting their incredibly short careers playing like they’re resigned to losing changes on the periphery mean 4/5ths of f*** all.

Everybody at the club should be angry with where we are.

 

[Roosurgence]

Out: Logue (inj), Chom (injured), Arch (suspended?)

My Ins: W Dawson, Whitlock, Hardeman

Not sure you can suspend a bloke that kept his feet while his opponent goes to ground and makes contact with his shins.

He has every right to contest the ball and shouldn’t reasonably expect the player to leave their feet.

 

[muttley45]

It has been pretty well documented about our lack of defensive midfield effort, i wouldn't mind seeing Urquhart get a crack, defense is screaming out for some pace and decent distribution, not just relying on Daniel, how about Hardeman ? would sooner have Darling remain in F50 and not Rucking, so give Teakle a crack, probably gunna lose Logue and Chom, Dawsons x 2, or give Whitlock a shot, plenty of option's to make way for some changes.

 

[winalotroos]

If no injuries & I think Archer will be OK.

Out..Tucker In Fisher

And just play as a cohesive unit and hit targets

 

[Junk yard]

Phillips to the VFL, hopefully he can get a kick but his tank isn't going to get to AFL standard through the year, that's what the pre seasons for. We can’t be picking a mid that needs subbing off the back of an uninterrupted pre season.

Out: Logue (inj), Chom (injured), Arch (suspended?)

My Ins: W Dawson, Whitlock, Hardeman

He'll get zero weeks or 4-6. Who knows how they'll see it - they make it up as they go.

 

[kool kangas]

If we lose either Logue or Chom through injury then Teakle or W.Dawson comes in .
If Archer get suspended ( which l dont think he will) then either Fisher or Tucker come into and bring in Urquart as sub.

 

[shinboner magic]

Move Chom forward - enoughs enough.
He can’t defend and his foot skills are putrid.
Matlock or Wawson can come in for Chom

Ford for Tucker

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Can we get The Other Dean and McGooley to go in and give them some perspective and tell them to harden the **** up?

 

[JGreezy]

Duursma in for one of our smaller mids.
He makes us taller and he has silky skills.

Ford in for Tucker. Once again, size.

I'd like Whitlock or Wil Dawson or Maley to get a run, but that depends on outs.

 

[kangaroos3]

Out: Tucker, In: Duursma
Out: Comben, In: Whitlock/K Dawson

(Pending suspension)
Out: Archer, In: Hardeman

(If no Archer suspension)
Out: McDonald, In: Hardeman

Move Colby to HBF to break lines and Duursma plays Wing/HFF.

 

[amaz199]

Fritsch will be checking the suspension status of Archer. Thoughts and prayers.

 

[Possession]

Archer by all means should appeal a suspension and get off. But knowing North, he'll be made to cop it. Would be a joke considering some of the slaps on the wrist we've seen throughout the comp last year.
