Changes v Tiggy Tigers

[perplexed]

Wasn't Phillips on danger? 12 touches for the game whist will had 20 himself. Noway he should get dropped. Play him on one of hopper or taranto.

Phillips didn't have a tagging role this week. Danger played mostly forward.

You don't need to tag either Hopper or Tarranto, neither does any damage. We should back our mids to beat theirs.

 

[Sillygit]

Hoo boy, yea those tigers lookin real tough so far. 14 inside 50's for 14 points. Gotta admire the symmetry.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

The tigers rebound game is their main threat. As long as we heap on the pressure (especially in our fwd area) we should win comfortably.

Good thing our forwards are known for their pressure.

 

[Moti]

Our forwards are not super athletic but can mark well. Why don't we target a weak link in the zone (waterboy style) and put it a metre above their head and get our forwards to mark over them. This saves the inevitable bomb long and get the ball swept away.

 

[The Dingrel]

In: McKercher, Fisher if fit, Finnbar to debut, Duursma into the starting line up
Out: Dunno take your pick, Stevo and RHJ I suppose, Teakel been quiet, some injury concerns over Comben and Corr.

And to help resolve the Comben back or forward debate....would be good to see how Teakel and or Finnbar go as an intercepting defender.

Maley deserves a crack I reckon. Give him a run over Teakle.

Teakle needs to do more. Wouldn't hurt him to run around the 2s for a few weeks and then bulk up over summer

 

[Psicosis]

There’s no excuse in losing to this mob. Make no mistake, it’d be an absolute disaster.

So pencil it in?

 

[koshari]

If we don’t beat Richmond I won’t post in the Grumpy Old Thread in the Lounge

Oh wait a minute, I don’t anym

Snob

 

[the big lebowski]

Wouldn’t drop teakle. He’s an under the roof specialist, not an outdoor against a good defence specialist

 

[kool kangas]

The main concern for me this week is getting Larkey, Teakle and Comben to stop competing for every mark that comes their way as a group. Divide and conquer should be the approach this week.

Nobody ever stays down, it drives me ****ing NUTS

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Archer - Corr - McDonald
McKercher - Logue - Stephenson

Stephens - LDU - Scott
Xerri - Sheezel - Wardlaw

Simpkin - Comben - Duursma
Zurhaar - Larkey - Curtis

Phillips - Teakle - Tucker - Powell

I don’t actually know if these players are available, but:

• we should win
• we should play Stephenson back to be certain he is shot
• Phillips tags
• mids need to step up because we are better than the Tige’s inside

 

[shinboner magic]

Bolton , Rioli , short and dusty if he plays are the dangers that must be stopped

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

Stephenson plays next week. Despite the nuffie narrative.

 

[muttley45]

Will Colby be back ? would be nice to get his Rising Star odds shortened a bit

 

[joegreen]

Our last big win was against Adelaide in R9 of 2020. By 69 points. Since then, we've beaten Carlton by 39 and Gold Coast by 35. All other wins have been by 20 points or less. Most of them single figures.

Be nice to get hold of a side again.

 

[Samsquanch]

If we don’t beat Richmond I won’t post in the Grumpy Old Thread in the Lounge

You would if you could find it.

stupid moving the grumpy old thread to the lounge decision really gets my goat.

[Its a Process]

Bizarre seeing us as $1.65 favorites..

Tiggies look like they are having the same issues as us, winning their fair share of inside 50's but struggling to score. This could be a very ugly spectacle.

I think we are a better team when Comben plays back and I'd be sending him back this week to try and generate more intercept possessions.

Changes (Assuming Corr and Comben get up)
In - McKercher, Ford
Out - Shiels, Hansen Jnr

I would love to see RHJ against a weaker opposition to see if he can stay involved in the match for longer periods but I cant squeeze him in. Big one for me is I'd start LMac as Sub this week - he has his colors lowered against Henry last week and i've squeezed him out with Comben heading back to make room for Duursma.

Team
Archer - Corr - Logue
Tucker - Comben - McKercher
Scott - LDU - Stephens
Zurhaar - Teakle - Sheezel
Curtis - Larkey - Duursma
Xerri - Simpkin - Wardlaw
Ford (fwd/wing), Stepho (back), Powell (Mid), Phillips (Mid)

Sub (L Mac)

If we are looking for a tag for Phillips I would send him to Rioli or Bolton.

 

[Limerick]

This game will be won of lost at the selection table. The focus on the next two games must be to win,
forget player development etc. Pick players who are fully fit, aggressive and play them in their best position.

Doesn’t matter where he plays or not same applies to Wardlaw according to everyone Dempsey has already won it.
