Only 4 best 22 players and 2 that are walk up starters every week (both likely to play anyway), how ever will they cope?

I can't wait for stevic to allow Libba to throw and duck all game

As long as we win the free kick count that’s all that matters

The red origin energy ones.

If the thumb surgery was to transplant it to his face, I can understand, as adding any random body part to that face would be an improvement.

Thumb would be a novelty. They already have a lot of dickheads.

 

[Libba39]

How long till Daniel is back? I can't handle Hannan slamming it on the boot out of the d50.

Imagine if someone had suggested at the start of the year that Richards, Hannan and Treloar would be playing in the backline....

 

[doggy_dog]

Cordy has taken the ruck a fair bit in his time, don't see why we wouldn't use Hannan and Khamis/Bruce to same effect.

Yeah when he was playing forward. Bevo even mentioned Khamis playing forward was because we thought we might need him to do some rucking and playing forward was part of that role. Bruce obviously can do it but it’s just the return from injury that has me unsure

 

[doggy_dog]

Wondering if Maclean is at the same stage as M Boyd , in his career. HBF with his nous may better suited than Hannan .At least until Caleb returns.

I’d actually be pretty interested to see this. Is a neat kick and good defensively. Think he struggles to crack the team as a forward too with the Treloar addition and West coming on

Now we know the injury list (at least we think) and no Caleb this week:

OUT Lachie McNeil, Jordon Sweet, Luke Cleary

 

[Doggy]

We're not going to drop McNeil people. Might as well stop suggesting it. He's been solid and the club is happy with him

 

[Dog 36]

Oliver will play.

If he does who is our Steven Kretiuk

Mashed potato Oliver is playing, as is Lever.

Shock horror

Isn't Oliver one of the top-3 fancies for the Brownlow?

Has previously been omitted on a number of occasions, so don't see how its unrealistic to suggest how a developing player who came in when we had a number of forced outs, is indeed out again this week when those players return.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

With the amount of players we still have to come back into the side, it’ll probably have to happen at some stage.

He’s been going ok, but would need to continue building his output to hold others out.

 

[Doggy]

Because I doubt we drop him for a wing and key forward. Williams and Sweet should go first

He looks like mashed potato.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

I am pretty sure we will turn up after what the dees have done to us. We turned up round 1 but squandered our opportunities with turnovers. The keys to us beating Dees if we turn up and get 100% effort is:


Planning (coaching) and execution

We cannot expect to win the midfield battle easily against their quality a slight advantage is the best we can expect. So match ups forward and back will be crucial.

The most important area will be to execute our plan when we go into forward. We will need quick entries that hit targets or at very least kicked to our advantage. If there is not a big improvement on last week we are dead ducks because we are not going to get the quantity of for 50 entries as we did in the first 3 quarters against the saints. Small forwards can cause the dees problems so we need big games from Cody and Rhylee. The other part of the execution is to kick straight we need to convert our opportunities.


Move the ball slow and we are just playing in their hands that is what they love it.

We have to be prepared for the usual surprise random outs whether to injury or H&C protocols.

Let's hope it's no-one critical this week like Bont, Macrae, English or Libba.

The flip side is it could also happen to Melbourne. Oliver could come down with Phytophthora Infestans (potato blight) for instance.

 

[TommyD13]

Perhaps so, but I feel he is a far way away from becoming a lock in this team. Promising indeed, and done nothing wrong as such, but hardly warrants a guaranteed spot in the side at this point of his career.
