Strategy Changes vs Doggies

[Biggie]

Cripps will get up I reckon.

He'll see all the soldiers falling over around him and put his hand straight up in the air to play.

Because he ain't no ****ing Turd looking -pole smoking-spineless-jellyfish.

 

[ep2018]

Is Cripps an out or not?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Is Cripps an out or not?

He's a 'test'.

 

[Sammy J]

Think he will get up.

Wonder if it'll be Lucas, Nelson or Newman who gets the Masten gig.

 

[Agent93]

Since there's been a precedent this season to harden up and play, I reckon Cripps will be there on the weekend.

For me

In: LeCras, Barrass, Naitanui, Colledge, Lucas, Nelson
Out: Masten (susp.), Schofield (hamstring), Lycett (knee)

Thoughts are one of the last 3 will come in on final teams for Bennell, for team balance sake with that person or McGinnity the sub (as long as Irish is aware he needs to go attack dog style again).

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

LeCras?

Lecras is an automatic inclusion reguardless. Thank **** Cripps is ok and should play. He will be pretty handy against the Dogs.

 

[Super Hans]

Out - schoey,

I'm an idiot. I read this as (Luke) Shuey and got excited, lol.

Idiot, or just hopeful?

 

[DickDunn]

Just the minimum changes to a winning team please.

Out: Schofield (hammy), Lycett (knee), Masten (Subaned)
In: Barrass, Naitanui (please be right to go), LeCras

B: Butler, Barrass, Wellingham
HF: Hurn, Sheppard, Ellis
F: Gaff, Priddis, Rosa
HF: LeCras, Darling, Cripps
F: Hill, Kennedy, Sinclair
R: Naitanui, Shuey, Yeo
I: Bennell, Sheed, Hutchings
SS: McGinnity
E: Lamb, Nelson, Lucas (travelling)

Defence looks tiny. Luckily the midfield and forward line look pretty awesome.

Spot on. I especially like that we have four forward lines. Take the attack up to them early.

 

[lmach]

I think Cripps will play. He's a tough mother****er.

Also, just realised it's Josh Kennedy Appreciation Week.

 

[mick06]

I'm an idiot. I read this as (Luke) Shuey and got excited, lol.

If i were you id be pretty excited to see our last remaining key defender with any sort of experience out.

Though then if i saw someone show any excitement that my man was out id be filthy and lose my shit

 

[DanWCE]

The wife was due to catch up with Crippa today. Have set her a mission to dig up some goss on whether he thinks he'll be right..

Glad I wrote 'was'. Re-scheduled a week as Cripps is unable to talk

Subaned. Brilliant.

Kicked a few bags on us over the journey


As an aside we do rotate pretty heavily through our forwardline but only really play one legitimate tall (Redpath or Boyd), for arguments sake how would your defenders line up on a likely forward six of:

Stringer Redpath/Boyd Dickson
Dahlhaus Crameri Bonti

Watching against Melbourne we rotated almost on a minute by minute basis and our mids spend a fair chunk of time standing on the 50m arc (Wallis/Jong/Bonti/Picken/Dahl/Grant) but this is the type of forward set up we've been running with over the past two months.

Sorry why are you including Colledge ?

 

[SloppyJoe]

Cripps looked really sore. I don't think he'll play. I think Nicnat will play.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Cripps will get up I reckon.

He'll see all the soldiers falling over around him and put his hand straight up in the air to play.

Because he ain't no ******* Turd looking -pole smoking-spineless-jellyfish.

Coming off a concussion, medically, it is likely he will miss.

 

[DanWCE]

Coming off a concussion, medically, it is likely he will miss.

If he was concussed surely he wouldnt have returner to the field?

 

[ChampRevesby]

If he was concussed surely he wouldnt have returner to the field?

I don't know, I thought it was deemed a concussion after the game? I'm not sure.
But he won't train for 4 days and they said he is likely to miss.

 

[Suma Magic]

I think the Barass/Schofield, LeCras/Masten, Lycett/Naitanui changes are all pretty easy.

If Cripps plays, McGinnity should be sub. If Cripps doesn't play, Lucas should come in as sub.

 

[Special Agent Utah]

I doubt Cripps will get up to be honest, still getting headaches etc according to club..

I wouldn't mind seeing Lucas be rewarded for good form

 

[DanWCE]

I don't know, I thought it was deemed a concussion after the game? I'm not sure.
But he won't train for 4 days and they said he is likely to miss.

I would be a little worried if we gave him the test, deemed him okay, then later on said nope hes no good, got a concussion. The club wouldnt be forthcoming in admitting that.

On Cripps, I tend to agree its shaky he gets up. 4 day break is fine, he has plenty of runs on the board, and 7 day break, plus he is a tough nut so if anyone can do it, its him.

Hey Mof, long time reader, first time replier:

My predictions:

Stringer Redpath/Boyd Dickson
Hurn Barrass Wellingham
Dahlhaus Crameri Bonti
Bennell Sheppard Yeo/Ellis

Could probably switch Hurn and Sheppard depending how deep/far up the ground they go.

 

[bodazoka]

I think Cripps will be an out and McGovern + Schofield won't get up.

Out: Schofield (Inj), Cripps (concussion), Lycett (Inj), Masten (suban)
In: Barrass, LeCras, Naita, *

*Lucas, Selwood, Nelson <--- My bet would be Lucas but anyone of these could be an in for Masten.
