Prediction Changes vs Bombers ~ Round 6 2019 (ANZAC Day)

[sr36]

And yet we’ve got a bunch of posters who can’t see it.

We also have a coaching staff who couldn't see it either a couple of weeks ago, so I don't think it's as clear cut as you suggest.

True, and the same coaching staff brought him back the week after leaving him out.

Rookies and veterans share the same trait, no matter how talented consistency is always the problem.

Which suggests to me that the club view his recent form as borderline.

Don't get me wrong, I'd play him, but I can see why other's don't rate him as highly as we do.

With Varcs though, I think the issue is more that he doesn't get the footy on the spread, so he's relying on winning it in a contest at ground level as a small forward. Noone consistently wins much of the footy that way.

I think the other part is he gives so much effort on def acts that it can leave him out of position for quick turnover and also fatigued when trying to sprint back to the f50.

This can impact his disp numbers.

IMO he is definitely in our best 22.

To me, even without the manic defence, I think we need him at ground level when teams stop our ball movement and force us to kick it long to contests. Teh Richmond and Brisbane games don't suit his style because we moved the ball so easily without contests and ground ball spillage, but cometh the closely fought battles to come, we'll need him buzzing around ground balls and conjuring opportunities from nowhere.

You still won't score against our defence and Stevo, Elliott and Beams will kick a winning score.

Why isn’t Sier playing in VFL still injured or is it time to unleash

The Bear

On the poor old bummers

Injured according to the radio broadcast. CFC2010 also mentioned he's been in the crowd and has his ankle strapped.

I thought you were a Pies fan for a second and was baffled. haha.

 

[left at home]

Well if appleby has done a ankle, he will not be in for Aish.
So who then people.

 

[Anzacday]

This was The Bear at 1/4 time at the VFL

Just intruding on your board to read from those better informed than me who was in the mix for Thursday. Sier intrigues me as to how he is not getting a game, but I have no idea of whether he is coming back from injury or something

That’s what you get for wearing Birkenstocks.

 

[Thatsmyname]

Wills for Aish now that Appleby and Sier have clouds over them (ankle & achilles)
He's a better replacement for Mayne so maybe Brown is released forward and Varcoe goes back.

 

[jmac70]

Bring Wells in.

 

[sr36]

No idea. All our depth are suddenly injured. I'd probably like them to play Wells, but i doubt they will, particularly off a short break.

Wells isn’t ready IMO.

Wills deserves a shot if Aish doesn’t get up.

Sounds like it, but I have a feeling that he won't get the nod. His big issue is that he is midfield only, so he has to play a major role within the team when he comes in. There's no minor flankers role for him. Id be a bit concerned if I was wills that they seemed to start the year by trying to turn him into a forward but have reverted to just playing him in the midfield already.

I think Sier not playing meant Wills played in the middle.

So much hype around Sier but Wills is a beast around the ball.

The other option would be Greenwood as a defender, with Varcoe returning forward. I'd like to see Wills get a crack though.

 

[barrackers]

Hopefully not in this manner, but maybe Greenwood could re-acquaint himself with Zach Merritt too.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

I thought in the equation will be simple if Aish doesn’t get up for our next clash.

Greenwood will be in, taking the defensive role and any other such duties.

With the proposed Appelby, the hoped for Sier on the injury bench, Greenwood should get the nod.
