[AFC979810]

If Rankine, Max and Rachele (and everyone else) were available - I would be happy to drop Cumming.

Rachele HAS to come in

 

[dogs105]

Rachele HAS to come in

Would be very nice. Probably for Draper?

 

[AFC979810]

No.

Nah

We have to admit.. in the last 7 games Taylor has played - he has played 1 good game.


That one game was against the worst in the AFLover the past 5 years. WCE are shit and thats the only game he has played well in.

 

[huludicidal]

Out:
Bond, Draper

In:
Michalanney, Nankervis

Sub:
Nankervis or Smith

If Laird gets suspended for that utterly STUPID off the ball bump, Bond survives because we don’t have any other players on the list who are fit and in form.

Rachele won’t be ready for the QF. All other finals - yes.

 

[TRP1996]

If Max is ready -> Bond (perhaps gets a reprieve if Laird gets cited for that off-the-ball bump?).

Of the small forward/flanker/secondary mid marginals likely to be replaced if Rachele and/or Pedlar are ready (and, in Pedlar's case, if we want to bring him straight back in) - Draper probably most likely to make way, Dowling outproduced Taylor in today, but throughout the season Taylor clearly ahead in the pecking order.

 

[huludicidal]

We have to admit.. in the last 7 games Taylor has played - he has played 21 good game.

This just isn’t true at all. He plays purely in the forward 50, is never targeted by anyone going forward and our midfield is getting annihilated every week. He’s been far better than any of Pedlar, Murphy, Schoenberg, Draper. He does important things every week and is cool under pressure. He’s a zero percent chance of being dropped.

 

[1990crow]

Laird and Soligo suspensions incoming

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I reckon we would be playing the pies.

Rachele and MM for Draper and Bond

 

[Danger in Texas]

I reckon we would be playing the pies.

Rachele and MM for Draper and Bond

This is the move. Two big upgrades

 

[suburpy]

Out : Murray, bond, Draper
In : butts, max, rachele

I just reckon muz is stiff but our best period of defence was with butts and Max in. Although tough in defence when you get smashed at centre clearance

 

[thebirdman 24]

Wait what did Laird and Soligo do?

 

[GameofSloanes]

I saw the soligo one, not much in it. What did laird do? Wasnt mentioned i dont think in broadcast? Is there footage?

 

[WetCrow1991]

Laird and Soligo suspensions incoming

No sling action in Soligo's tackle at all.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Wait what did Laird and Soligo do?

Dangerous tackle, but there was zero sling action.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

This is the move. Two big upgrades

Absolutely huge. We didn’t have both against the pies and still won. Yes we’ve lost Rankine, but we’ve gained an x-factor player in Rachele.

I would look MM to keep tabs with one of the Daicos brothers all night.

As bad as Eagles are, he outperformed 15 or so of his teammates.

 

[Scragmaster]

The time to be getting games into Draper was earlier in the season - can't be carrying that through finals. He didn't look close to ready today. He looks to have put a bit of size on at least, which is good.

Dowling did a bit, but he was far, far too loose on Stephens on the outer wing and his lack of pace showed at times. Dropped his head badly in the marking contest for his second goal and was lucky to end up with a free kick out of it.
Still, I think he's worth persisting with.

I wouldn't be against Nankervis coming back in if he has a big game in the SANFL today.

Max in for Bond (give him a contract though). Play it by ear with Rachele for Draper (Nank if not).

I'm still a bit annoyed Edwards hasn't been given a crack - we need some pace around the ball, but it'd be a wild call to bring him in for a final.

I reckon the sub role suits Smith.
