Changes vs Geelong

[archereleven]

In- Jacobs, Mullet
Out- Bastinac, McMahon

I dont think Wells or Narni will get up

 

[Saintly31]

Hopefully we find out early in the week why Wells hasn't been playing and when he will play.

Seems odd that it has lingered on for so long when originally was supposed to be just 1 week out

Scott saying he needs to be careful when to get him back so could manage him for rest of season suggests the injury worse than suspected.

I hope not, but that's how it came across. Maybe he was carrying it early it too as he seemed unlike typical Wells smooth to me for most games.

Time to look ahead to Friday night and get close to our best 22 on the park.

In: Mullett, Grima, Wells
Out: McMahon, Tippett, Wright

I'd be happy with that.

If Wells is not fit, keep Tippo in.

 

[Engimal]

I'm not entirely sure I want to see Tippett make way for Grima, as good as Narni is.

 

[benbanjo]

Nahas a must to stay in. With Geelong's experienced back 6, the need for defensive pressure is even more then usual. I can see them try and isolate Majak with Mackie, in an attempt to run off him a bit as Johnson did for Freo, need LT and Nahas to make this harder for him. Hopefully Maj can hit the scoreboard, getting his couple, anymore then that is a serious bonus.

Wright holds his spot, great matchup for Stevie-J.

Doubt Wells will be back.

I rated Tippet but I imagine he will give way for Narni.

Wood deserves a crack very soon, but I doubt Scott will make it happen.

Yep Geelong will certainly try to take advantage of Maj on the out.... but he will learn...

Grima is doing my head in...he is great when not injured, but i'm starting to think we might have to cut our loses with him, he is injured every second week and its not just one specific thing, Back, Shoulder, Foot, knee .... i dont know man.... Tippet IMO can stay this week... he is a monster and should be able to take either of the Geelong rucks when forward....

Wright can have a go at tagging SJ if he is not ruled out by giving one to that prick Crowley...

 

[Harris 10]

Wood has to play, you can't keep denying a bloke who's in such good form.

His last senior game was at the Cattery pre season and on that game alone he should've debuted in round 1.

Not sure who for but he is a league footballer and should debut this week.

Did you miss the Freo game?

 

[muttley45]

In : Mullet

Out : Mc Mahon that is all,

 

[roos_fanatic08]

McMillan any chance of getting back?

 

[Quivorir]

Not keen on dropping Wright at all. The poor bastard needs a chance to get into some form. Coming in for one week and being out for 4 is not gonna help that.

 

[nicko74]

Perhaps playing Wells against the Pies wasn't the best idea. Looks to have caused further injury to whatever it was in the first place. Mullet goes back in if fit for McMahon. And Grima goes in just for his effort in the Freo game alone for Tippet provided he is fit also

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Nahas stays. The guy ran out possessed yesterday. Knows he is playing for his career and doing his job well.

I reckon Wells will get up. With the bye and Brisbane selections erred on the side of caution to get him cherry ripe for Friday.

I don't rate Wright.

McMahon/Mullet? Who reckons McMahon is more accountable in defence?

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Give him a chance at the cost of running out with our best 21?

No thanks.

 

[Daz]

Wright is no chance of going to Ablett.

JMac to have 1 week in the 2's and then back in.

 

[Quivorir]

Give him a chance at the cost of running out with our best 21?

No thanks.

I think giving him a chance to prove he is best 22. Id have Wright over Patch any day of the week.

I must admit I haven't been tracking Wood at all but reading good things about him here.

What are his stats like?

Patch is another I agree.

I reckon Stevie J will get rubbed out. Brought his forearm down with sufficient force across Barlows face.

And apparently a head butt against Crowley?

Would you still want Wright in if Stevie is out?

Yes, I rate Wright quite highly. He just hasn't been given a chance to prove himself the last couple years which is shit. He is down on confidence, that running goal he missed in the 3rd last night you just saw the disapointment in his face, he was visibly upset about it. He needs a chance, and I hope he gets it.

 

[DCS OO7]

You people are insane!

Why drop Tippet and bring in a very slow one dimensional player who is out of form!?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Are you talking about Grima?

 

[year of the roo]

On what planet has Wright not been given a chance to prove himself? He's been given 6 years!

Patch is a far better player. No contest.

 

[LB2Snake]

What was wrong with Wright's game (aside from the bad miss)? Thought he was better than McMahon anyway.

Loose was very solid* also.

*see what I did there.

 

[Nevbuster]

Petrie out, Wood in. Basti out, Jacobs in. McMahon out, anyone in.

 

[Grogg]

Agree with yotr.

Bizarre comment on Wright.

Seriously you cant be serious? Patch Adams runs rings around Sam Wright in every category.
And I wont be happy if Tippett gets dropped either, he is just starting to establish himself and had his best game for us yesterday
