Preview Changes Vs COLA Swans Round 17

[Carbine Chaos]

Was about 20m from the Richards hit, he's gone. Definitely helps.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Was about 20m from the Richards hit, he's gone. Definitely helps.

Sydney thou...

 

[boondy]

Seen it and while he zones well enough he's too slow to watch a fast forward. If McGovern is out it's afait accompli that Barrass plays. How Sinclair and Naitanui are used when they're not rucking is another question and it's probably smart to play a ruck in defense rather than compromise our run at ground level.

The West Australian will say on Monday Barrass was outstanding

 

[Quinz]

Did you and the other players get stuck into him? Not watching the game.

 

[the harry]

Barrass may not be the only choice as Sinclair to Tippett makes sense. McInness in as 2nd ruck and hopefully no Pyke.

I'm going to choose my words carefully Re Sinclair because he took several good marks today. But if he was to stay in the WAFL until he learned a) how to kick for goal & b) kick over the man on the mark that would be fantastic.

As for changes:

Out: Gov (inj) Sinclair (above) Selwood
In: Barass, Mcinnes, anyone Butler maybe?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: McGovern ( ), Hutchings
In: Barrass, Butler

B: Sheppard, Schofield, Butler
HB: Hurn, Barrass, Wellingham
C: Gaff, Priddis, Masten
HF: LeCras, Darling, Selwood
F: Cripps, Kennedy, Sinclair
R: Naitanui, Shuey, Yeo
I: Ellis, Sheed, Hill
S: Rosa
E: McInnes, Hutchings, Nelson (held over)

 

[RookiePick]

Ted Richards could be in trouble

You realise he play's for the COLA's right? Zero chance of getting a player rubbed out before they play us.

 

[hudson2006]

What do people think about trying Darling down back?
Don't really want to bring in key position players who aren't ready.
We can still have Kennedy, Hill/Lecras and a resting ruck forward as targets. Seemed to work pretty well early in the year when Darling was out.

Or potentially throw a resting ruck into defence. Sinclair offers nothing as a forward anyway. Granted his marking quite good. That could be better used to save us down back.

Would rather bring in Barrass to be honest. Has been in great form, and defence is his natural role.

 

[Chris_6678]

Sigh Simmo said Gov could be out for a month

 

[Wet Toast Rule]

We may have to bring in Barrass and play Sinclair / McInness back.
Sydney are pretty tall

 

[Sammy J]

Out: McGovern
In: Barass

Keep changes to a minimum. Structure wise, this makes the most sense. Baptism of fire for the young man!

 

[twce13]

Tipper hurt his wrist, not sure on the severity

 

[He_Beast]

In - Goals

Out - Behinds

Sinclair back means no kicking for goal!

 

[Mac J]

B

Unless we throw McInness back, we have no choice

Barass 9 marks in defence today, ready to be tested against the big boys

 

[Biggie]

Sydney board have the following outs:

Richards, Bird & Tippet.

Possible Jetta

Tippet out would be a huge equaliser. Huge.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Is Tippett hurt/facing possible suspension, or are they just saying that cause he's had a crab season? Because if he's available Sydney would be mad to not drill the size advantage of their forward line into the game plan.

 

[bombard]

Sydney board have the following outs:

Richards, Bird & Tippet.

Possible Jetta

Tippet out would be a huge equaliser. Huge.

Out on what basis?

 

[Biggie]

Wrist injury

 

[Jack_the_Ninja]

Woah Woah..everyone's getting too quick to pull the trigger on Selwood ! I think he should still be played because.....nup got nothing.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Didn't see it but radio said it was a significant wrist injury to Tippett.

 

[Dark Sharks]

I might have a significant wrist injury later, watching Yeo's season highlights.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Woah Woah..everyone's getting too quick to pull the trigger on Selwood ! I think he should still be played because.....nup got nothing.

He was good back in 2012 remember?

 

[QS]

Hutchings played really well. Forgotten how nippy and creative he was.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw this. Tough little AFL ready nugget he is.

 

[Eagles>Football]

This will be unpopular, but I don't think Selwood was that bad today. That being said, Hutchings was really impressive when he came on.

Hope Gov gets up, seems unlikely. It's Barrass time!!!!

My thoughts too. Scooter actually has quite a bit of speed off the mark which helped a couple of 50/50 contests. He didn't set the world on fire but it was an improvement on the last few weeks.
