Preview Changes Vs COLA Swans Round 17

[FrankenLynch]

Get stuffed. There's no chance McGovern can pull up fine after last week's game

What the hell do they put in the water in albany ?

James Hird's urine? Must be some leftover PEDs in there

Honestly believe this is the week Selwood is dropped unless someone else is injured that we aren't aware of.

Out McGovern Selwood
IN Butler Lucas

 

[SpaceClef]

Out McGovern Selwood
IN Butler Lucas

I like the cut of your jib

 

[Suma Magic]

Based on those injuries, think the following should play:

Sheppard Schofield Wellingham
Hurn Barrass ?
Masten Priddis Gaff
LeCras Darling Sheed
Cripps Kennedy Sinclair

Naitanui Yeo Shuey

Leaving five more spots:

2 more defenders: Butler/Ellis/Rosa/Nelson

2 more mids (or 1 and Hill): Hill/Hutchings/Rosa/Selwood

Sub: Hutchings/Rosa/Selwood/Colledge/Lucas

Vozzo indicated that McSpud should be available for selection. I can only trust that we have gone past that point. It has been comforting over the last 2 months to know he is not going to be selected.

 

[Evo47]

Ted Richards out is a big win!

 

[Dark Sharks]

Heard Jude Bolton is a late out.

 

[Schrodinger]

I am hopeful that Simmo uses Scooter's "knee soreness" as a reason to rest him for the rest of the season in order to get him cherry ripe for Geelong.
We also need to ensure that we keep a lid on any Barrass-related excitement - these types of players take a while to develop.
It pains me to say that the only option I see it to throw Yeo down back to utilise his leap. Although I must admit I am not fully across the match ups. Perhaps with Tippet out we won't be as stretched vertically.

There is one call I have decided to change recently - watching Hutch in the Collingwood/Umpires match and particularly when contrasted with Scooter, I thought he had a noticeable air of "quality" about him which I had never really seen. Particularly that quick give off at the centre bounce. Looked classy (something I have never said about him)

MODS! Make the bad man stop!

I think Hutch deserves a full game off the back of his effort this week - thought he was pretty solid.

Selwood to take a spell.

 

[ioppolo]

I doubt Selwood will be dropped unfortunately.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Heard Jude Bolton is a late out.

Who do you think Brett Kirk will go to?

 

[KaaL]

Who do you think Brett Kirk will go to?

He'll go to selwood. With the amount of disposal he had on the weekend, you'd think he was the one that was tagged out of the game.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

surely one of lucas or colledge can do better than spud selwood. then again i think simmo will be going for saftey and choose barass and butler for gov ad selspud

 

[Agent93]

Sheppard on Buddy... only 10cm and 20kg difference. She'll be apples.

TBH I don't see why we need to man anyone up. Third man (or would that be the mysterious second man?) chop outs all day.

Hutchings has always had that over the last couple of years. A bit of zip, toe and cleanness in his movement and disposal while brining tackling pressure and toughness. Very underrated and is a great compliment to our midfield.

Hutchings needs to move into the 21 for Selwood.

 

[jakethebear]

Am i the only one who gets the feeling Barrass won't be picked this week? I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. Despite all the headlines saying simmo or Kennedy said he'd play, the media have asked them questions and they've simply said "he's an option" or "that's and option we'll look at." When i listened to all the interviews they both really seemed to play that option down.

Na he's a hack apparently..

 

[nameless]

I'm hoping Hutch gets a full game, been a bit of a forgotten man I feel.

Selwood back to sub or WAFL - if WAFL then give Lucas the vest (he has been setting a "high watermark" according to Stocks).

Probably just more to do with the fact they haven't officially told Barrass he will play, and would rather he hears it first.
They will also want to do the due diligence and work out all scenarios of how they can cover Gov. Maybe playing Yeo back full game, using Sinclair as a roaming defender, maybe they feel with no Tippett there isn't as great a need to have another tall and may go small instead.

Or Simmo is just trolling the media.

Not flashy enough

 

[Dark Sharks]

"He's better than Selwood....."

"Would be a better option than Selwood.."

"Would offer more than Selwood..."

Literally ANYONE is a better option and would offer more than Selwood right now. I'm serious about that. Mcginnity included. 12 shitty disposals ond 0 tackles, Ginnity could do that and be home in time for dinner any day of the week. Take Lamb out of ressies and i'm sure he'd still be able to lay a tackle.

There is one player worse in the AFL.
How Jason Tutt continues to get games is beyond me (insert obligatory "Carlton are poo" posts).
