would be nice if bucks, rocca, didak, shaw, johnson, clement, tarrant, Fraser were all outs, probably our only chance of winning :eek:
although im sure we will prefer the wide open space of the G compared to sydney, not sure whether im looking forward to friday or not
 
There won't be a match up for Wakelin so he wiil be an out. There might not be an opponenent for Presti either, the bulldogs forward line is a bunch of short people.

Wakelin for Rhyce Shaw would be one change for team balance, and please dont play Cameron Cloke again. He is so damn soft!

Be nice if Rusling was right to go... but hes not so get C3 back in. Stretch the Dogs height in their backline

Go only Fraser as ruck again, way too mobile for Peter Street
 
The plan I reckon should be to beat them at their weakess which is their KPP. But we don't be flat footed when they are the quickest team in the league. It will be a tough game, the Doggies are super quick but they have been shown up by Sydney. It all depends, would love to see Pendelbury play as well as Rhyce and Rowey but we will wait and see what happens.

Drop a tall. Most likely C.Cloke for Shaw/Pendles. Dogs are too small a side for our current team to match up.
Perhaps we have one defender too many but we shouldn't try and beat the Dogs at their own game. Let them worry about us playing too tall. I think we have a good mix at the moment, Maxwell and Clement can play small and Maxwell can even play forward.
 
I'd give Cam another chance...its tough to really assess his game as we were on top in every department. I certainly wouldnt replace him with Richards, only Trav. Thomas gets heaps of the ball for the minutes he plays. Played only 2/3 yesterday for near 20 touches. The only change I would personally consider is Trav for Maxwell who is a little bit down on form at the moment.

No Change!!

I would say the pies enjoy the wide open spaces of the 'G as well, wouldnt you ;)
 
No change.

Cam did not play badly on the weekend. He barely got game time and played deep in defence when he did get on the ground.

Wakelin or Maxwell may make room for R Shaw, but I prefer no change. Changing a side after a 102 point win sends the wrong message.

Wakelin makes the most sense to be dropped for team balance IMO , it has been shown that Josh will tire if it's all left to him.

Out:Wakelin
In:Rhyce(if not injured today) , although going on the performance today , few from Willi including Rhyce deserve a recall.

T-Clo may also be recalled if we really want to stretch them up back.
 
I would think the only possible ins would be Rhyce Shaw for a small or T. Cloke for a tall. I would love nothing more than to see Pendles unleashed on the big stage but for once he didn't have a good week at Willy after (from all reports) he was tagged out of the match.

no need for both presti & wakes v the doggies, presti may be able to play on robbins if he plays as a FF, but i cant see any player wakelin could go with at all!!

one of these will go i reckon

still need a back up for fraser, either t.cloke or c.cloke as they are a better option up forward then richards. prefer to give cam a few games in a row to let him show what he can do, trav had a decent run in the ones, so a couple of good games at willi will do him no harm

OUT - Wakelin
IN - Pendlebury

time to reward him for his good efforts in the 2's, also the bulldogs aren't a physically big side so he wont be intimidated!

Racer not far away either
 
See doppleganger's post. But, I want to see Rhyce back before Pendles gets a game.

The week after Pendlebury can come in at the expense of Thomas(not on form, just a rest)
 
Tough week forthe selection commitee.
Wakelin must go in my opinion, as said, not on form but match-ups. They are considerably small up front, especially now with the loss of Hahn, and wakelin doesn't have the pace to go with a small.
I think Cam Cloke should get another run, he will be a serviceable backup ruckman, and provide another tall for the dogs to try and match up on in our forward line.
A small back flanker to come in to replace wakelin. Or a midfielder, and drop one of our mids to back flank for the entirity of the game.

IN: Rhyce/Pendles
OUT: Wakelin

Presti may get Robbins, unsure of maxwell. He may struggle for a matchup? Leave him on backup ruckman? Shaw on johnson. Lockyer on Eagleton. Clement on murphy.

Or possibly clemo on johnson, maxwell on murphy (does he have the tank though?).

Tough week.
 
Hard to make changes when you win by 100 points. I am concerned about our height down back. Rest Presti. Wakelin could go out but he’s missed a couple and Presti hasn’t. Share the load. Play another small. Time for Rhyce. Also time for Pendlebury but who to drop is the difficult question. Maybe this is a side we can afford to play 1 ruckman against and Cam could go out.

I think it would be a good bold move to bring in Rhyce and Pendlebury and send Cameron Cloke back to Willi and rest Presti. I am happy to say we have some very nice selection dilemmas. Let’s hope everyone can stay fit. There are flags up fro grabs. No one has a complete lineup. We have to grab this opportunity.
