Changes v Pies

[Allikat]

Do you think they will still play the 3 rucks though? Could have sworn in a presser I heard, Bucks said that it was detrimental to the side. Made them too slow, something Melbourne exploited. Agree though that Hannath is a certainty given he isn't playing for peel today.

If they don't play 3 rucks, then they'll bring cloke in. So win-win for us

I thought that would be the more likely option as well. Either way, I think it's a winnable game given their form.

Clarke played well,get over it.

Get over it , Ross rated Hannath higher than you

 

[rgauci]

After tren injured his knee.

I thought Howard got injured not Trengove.

What, now you're being silly.

Hehehe Clarke is good but Barlow is better so automatically I forgot about him.

Spot on my bad here.

 

[Scham]

Agree but that's the frustrating thing about Clarke. Cameo's need to become consistency in the whole game and throughout a season.

His best is very good. His worse is god awful...needs to close that gap.

He was good for the whole game yesterday.

In- Hannath, Langdon
Out-Smith (injured), Pav (rested)

Could be a risk selecting Langdon with only a short break....

 

[Allikat]

Actually just checked the weather for the game on Friday (well I saw it when wondering what the temperature was cos I'm freezing), and it's going to be extremely wet and extremely cold. May be a good one for Langdon Can probably expect Barlow to get about 600 possessions too

Which end are the cheer squad at MCG Allikat, Seppo ? I'm planning on joining you, but I hope it's not too cold and wet.

Pies are up the M34 end near gate 1 so we should be up M3-M4 up at gate 4

Seriously can't see them resting Pav, will almost definitely be his last game on the MCG.

Rest him for either Darwin or GC - he doesn't need to go to the humidity, nor where no-one gives a shit.

Let him soak in the MCG atmosphere one more time.

Langdon for Tucker maybe? Igbo was good for Peel today too.

Yep totally agree on Pav. He really does not need to go to Darwin, hopefully we will have someone tall back by then and if not Langdon has put his hand up nice and high. Unless he is sore he plays this Friday, the whole country deserves to see his majesty strut his stuff on Friday night footy again.

 

[FreoRicci]

Out: Smith, Tucker (had a quiet game, could be omitted out of the youth)
In: Hannath (need a 2nd ruckman, particularly against Mason Cox and Grundy), Langdon

 

[andrew99]

Ibbo has been in pretty average form all year before his injury anyways. I don't see why he needs to be rushed back in for Smith. I'd have:

Out: Smith
In: Langdon / Yarran

If Ibbo is brought back in I'd rather he play further up the ground - his rebounding was just too reactive, slow & ineffective. A big reason why we struggled to get the ball flowing from the back half.

Crozier is just far better in Ibbo's role, sans intercepting which serves little point if after you've intercepted the ball your disposal and set up play is sub-par.

There goes any chance Hannath had of getting a game.

 

[malpaso]

Need runners against the Pies not beefcakes.

What are you thinking? Midfield? Half forward?

 

[meima]

I want beefcakes.but really prefer langdon

 

[schnoods]

If its wet i dare say we'll go in mobile and short.

In Langdon

Out Smith

Tagger.

 

[ting tong]

No he wasn't. Usual shitful self in first half, took good marks second half.

Much improved but need to see more consistency...

This could actually work well for us. The Pies are playing pretty tall & immobile at the moment
