Out - Caracella, Davies, Tarrant (maybe suspended)
In - Presti, Pendlebury, T Cloke (if taz is rubbed out)

Not 100% sure on Wakelin.
Thomas looks like a tired boy. May need a rest?
 
I agree with your ins and outs Thomas does look alittle tired but i think he'll play well i hope he does...

I would expect tazza to be out so trav cloke will most likley come in.
Rusling could he play or does he need a couple more under his belt ?

IN: T.Cloke, Prestigiacomo
OUT: Tarrant (suspended), Thomas (rested)

Don't think Davies should be omitted for Pendlebury. He played in a winning side and the less changes the stronger we are. I would personally like to see Pendles in.

Cameron Cloke for Guy Richards depending on Richards form in the VFL.
 
Out: Cameron Cloke and Dale Thomas

In: Shane Wakelin and Presti

Thomas hasn't been in super form or played a game where he would be named among the best. Still learning the craft of a small foward and wouldn't do him any harm to either have a week off or play down at Willi. Cameron Cloke continues to drop easy overhead marks or get too far under the ball.

Presti and wakes back in to cover Johnathon Brown and Daniel Bradshaw
 
Out: Thomas, Tarrant (susp), Davies
In: Presti, Wakes, T Cloke

I'd leave Cam in, but he'd have to play a whole lot better than he did last night. (Only worry is that we might be a bit top heavy bringing in three talls.)
 
IN: S.Rusling, S.Prestigiacomo, S.Wakelin
OUT: C.Tarrant (susp), B.Davies, C.Cloke

Would love to see Pendles in but we MUST have Presti and Wakes in to take Brown and Bradshaw.

Ruz is a bit of a smokey but he is the perfect replacement IMO.

Get the only dud out of our side ASAP.

Cam Cloke is a disgrace. Worst of the Clokes by far. Has the worst hands you'll ever see and misjudges the ball that many times, that its beyond a joke. A good/average VFL player. Nothing more.

I disagree with Caracella. I think he's been playing fine.
Exactly. Very good player. An important link man who is a valuable asset of the side.

Out: Cam cloke, Thomas (rested), Rocca (rested if tarrant not suspended)
In:Flaps, Pendelbury, T.CLo




caracella will play well against his old team
we can afford to carry davies in our midfield just for developments sake.
Flaps in just to :D:D:D:D off the other two half wit ruckmen!
 
Out: Taz(suspended), C.Cloke, Thomas(Rested), Maxwell
In: Presti, Wakes, T.Cloke, Richards.

Would like to slot Pendlebury in, but who to drop. Davies didn't play too bad, Cara deserves his spot.

I think maxwell has been out of form the last few weeks and may need a short stint in the 2's, as much as I hate to say it.

You wouldn't bring presti or wakes back in to play a side with Brown/Bradshaw? Odd.

Leave Rocca out!! :eek: He's one player the Brions have always had problems matching.

At this stage, prior to VFL and tribunal, if VFL form continues and Taz is suspended

In: Pendles, T.Cloke, Wakes, Presti
Out: Davies (unlucky), Thomas, Maxwell, Tarrant (susp)

Brisbane have a reasonably tall forward line, or at least can go tall. Merret, Bradshaw, Brown, Brennan and even Charman floating forward we need both Wakes and Presti. This may work in Maxwell's favour but he has been in disapointing form (though he was ok vs. Bulldogs though) and needs a run for Willy. As I always say, in absoloute emergencies we can put C3 down back.

C2 was ok especially with some of his clearance work. Now we don't have players like Lokan, Williams, McKee and Woewodin in the team they have to find a new target. C2 being a big slow lumbering ruckman and a Cloke is an easy target, as is Caracella. C2 is far and away ahead of Richards and Fanning at this stage.
If ever we need a 2nd ruckman, especially one who won't get bullied in the ruck, it is this week.
 
Dont be so sure that Taz will get suspended ;)
 
Very harsh to say Nick Maxwell is out of form. Maxwell has been outstanding so far. Very courageous player. He was our only 'key' defender last week, played on Chris Grant, giving away height, weight and experience and did a reasonable job. Grant may have kicked four but Maxwell's defensive pressure, willingness to leave his man to help his defenders and rebounding from defence goes unoticed by many.
 
IMO Cam Cloke is one of the biggest duds on our lists, I can't stand him and too add to that, he is poop. The problem is I'd probably rather have Cam Cloke as the 2nd ruck over Richards based on what Richards did in the early rounds of this year!
 
Cam Cloke is our Quentin Lynch - He adds a lot more than his ability would let you expect.

He is our only option as a physical ruckman, and we're most definitely going to need him against Brisbane's rucks. Charman is physical first and a decent ruckman second - He will try to work Josh over physically, and to have Cam as a second option, who is most definitely willing to match it physically, will be important.
