Preview Changes vs Collingwood (MCG)

[Jarlcorbz]

Can't really see any changes to make. If an injury bobs up some time then it will be a straight swap IMO.

OUT: Lecca (big bad bump)

IN: Another small forward that's not Hill

 

[Dark Sharks]

Dammit Lecras.

Out: Lecras (possible suspension)
In: Will most likely be Colledge i'd say. Simmo will most likely end up playing Wellingham forward again.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Out: LeCras (bruised arse, from the kicking Simmo will give him)
In: Schofield

B: Glass, MacKenzie, Bennell
HB: Hurn, Brown, Sheppard
C: Rosa, Priddis, Masten
HF: Wellingham, Darling, Ellis
F: Cox, Kennedy11, Cripps
R: Naitanui, Shuey, Selwood
I: Yeo, Gaff, Hutchings
S: Schofield
E: McGovern, Colledge, Sheed

 

[Falco]

Out: Lecras, Hutchings, is Glass carrying an injury?

In: Colledge/Tunbridge for Lecras, Sheed, McGovern if Glass doesnt get up

 

[WereFlyingHigh4]

At the moment i'd probably have:

In: Colledge
Out: LeCras (Suspension)

Gotta reward Colledge for WAFL form rather than Tunners on potential.

Where would you play Colledge? Midfield rotation and forward line as a like-for-like replacement for LeCras? Is he a goal kicker at WAFL level?

 

[Milenko]

INs: Heart, guts, determination and a never-say-die attitude

OUTs: Flakiness, insipid efforts and flat-track-bullying

 

[WereFlyingHigh4]

Where would you play Colledge? Midfield rotation and forward line as a like-for-like replacement for LeCras? Is he a goal kicker at WAFL level?

I'd play him probably the same position as LeCras, spending time forward while rotating through the midfield. Plays in the midfield for East Perth and gets plenty of it. Was drafted as a utility forward so he can find the goals too. If LeCras gets off then i'd consider switching Colledge for Hutch although you'd be harsh to drop someone from the game yesterday.

 

[Suma Magic]

Out: LeCras

In: the following in contention to come in as sub:
Colledge
Sheed
Schofield
Tunbridge
McGinnity

Or Hill straight swap, with Hutchings sub.

 

[gsmiths_s]

Out: Lecras
In: Smith or Hill

...



It will likely be Tunbridge or Colledge.

 

[Cuzdup]

Out
Lecca, Hutchings

In
Sheed, Schofield

 

[Dark Sharks]

Out
Lecca, Hutchings

In
Sheed, Schofield

Sheed did nothing special whatsoever in the WAFL to warrant a recall.

 

[Rex_Banner]

I just hope it isnt out: accurate goal kicking, but we will probably kick something like 3.47

 

[Chris_6678]

Out: Lecra

I would play Wellingham in Lecras spot and bring in another mid and would go with College based on WAFL form.

If Glass is struggling with niggles then bring in schoey.

 

[Jarlcorbz]

Going off WAFL form as ins the McGinnity and Colledge should get another go, would prefer the later as to the former.

So with a bit more revision this time;

Out: Lecca (possible susp) Hutchings

In: Colledge, McGinnity or Tunbridge

Also, Lecras possibly being out is such a massive loss. He's a big part part of this team being one our more effective forward/mid players. Something that IMO we need more of.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

lecras i reckon is one of the main reasons why we kick straighter. he simply diversifies our forward line.

if we can get either newman to get back to his best after he gets out or get b matera then itd be perfect.

im starting to doubt hill's ability to get back

 

[mick06]

lol Simmo is clutching at straws. Article saying Lecca did what he did as he was protecting his arm and hopes the MRP take this into account....

"He's never been reported before and sometimes I think with his arm he's probably thinking he should bump rather than tackle. There's some things there where I can see why he did it."

Again showed why he is one of our most important, clean hands, evasive and he hit up Kennedy 5 times i reckon.

Never been reported, does he get the extra discount for a good record over certain amount of years? Could get the 25% for this and 25% for early plea. He's a nice clean cut young lad, may get graded as low impact as the guy played on and didn't seem affected...

I reckon that almost makes it worse. "He was worried about his arm, so he made a conscious decision to bump rather than tackle." Goodbye any chance of getting it graded negligent!

Had a look at the points this morning, if it's graded reckless, high contact and low impact then it's 225 points. 25% off for a good record and an extra 25% off for an early plea makes it 126 points and a week ban.

If it's graded negligent rather than reckless then it's a reprimand.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Lecras' bump will be graded low impact and high contact, no question. The only question mark for me is whether it was negligent or reckless.

If negligent, he will get 125pts and can bring it down to a reprimand.

If reckless, he will cop 225pts and won't be able to get it down lower than one game, even with his 25% good record reduction and 25% early plea (~127pts).

It's one of those situations where, if found reckless, he should roll the dice at the tribunal because his suspension won't increase if he loses (will just have about 40 more carry over points). I'd go for it - you might worry about a guy like Shuey having the extra carryover points, but not Lecras. Plus, we all know how important he is.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Sheed did nothing special whatsoever in the WAFL to warrant a recall.

Oh so like Hill then.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Oh so like Hill then.

Basically. Has Hill EVER done anything to warrant a recall?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

With the majority; Le Cras out, Colledge in. Get him to play forward and rotate through the middle on occasion.

re is not too many players like LeCras in the AFL.
He will always be difficult to replace.
There is no like for like other than Hill who is so badly out of form you couldn't consider.
Ellis is then the obvious choice and bring in Sheed or Mcginnity as the sub.

yeh nahhhhh

thats playing russian roulette.

 

[Milenko]

Does College have the capacity to hit the scoreboard?

Nothing I've seen in his limited AFL gametime thus far indicates he does. Although he did get a joe-the-goose and a snap in the pre-season game vs Swans.
