Preview Changes vs Geelong

[Back One Out]

If anyone who had been suspended for an eye gouge had actually been gouging an eye we'd have an awful lot of one-eyed footballers walking around today. Anything in the danger area is an eye gouge, doesn't matter whether the finger is turned in towards the face or if he's touching the eye.

That's right. We never really see full-on dangerous eye-gouges like the rugby forwards used to give each other in the rucks and mauls.
When this stuff occurs, the tribunal normally finds AFL footballers guilty of making unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the eye region.
That's what Juddy was suspended for.

 

[PowerKidd]

No Changes (shouldn't change a winning team)

*If Ryder and Trengove are fit then:

Out: Stewart/Clurey
In: Ryder/Trengove

 

[mic59]

If Ryder is fit bring him in for Stewart. Still want the small players to add the bite around the packs. Trengove may be looking like he has recovered but he has a history of injuries and look at what happened to Polec when he was brought back to early. I'd give him till after the bye. But if Ken thinks he can bring him back then I wouldn't say it would be a definite Clurey/Trengove swap, considering form Jonas could come into calculations to be dropped.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

If Paul Stewart gets the arse and Sam Gray stays in, then its very hard not to think of Ken and his selection committee as Spazo brains.

Depends whose replacing them. I don't agree with the Ryder in Gray out calls. It's a tall for a small. It's harsh as stewart has been good, but he's only been keeping the seat warm for ryder. It would only work if Stewart could play Gray's small forward role in the fwd line

Yeah nah.

 

[Schulzenfest]

What small forward role? Gray has kicked multiple goals in a game once in his career. He's had 1 shot on goal from 3 games this year. We're not losing anything in terms of a small crumbling forward if he gets dropped.

 

[Chokito]

Out: Young
In: Ah Chee Wowee

Reckon Trengove and Ryder back after the bye.

Though it would help take on the Cats offence/Hawkins.

I hope Selwood gets rubbed out for that, the mongrel.

 

[Chokito]

You might not have to worry about Joel Selwood next week after he pressed his fingers into Ben Howlett's eye late in the game vs Essendon

The Channel 7 commentators didn't say anything about it afterwards. My guess is the AFL will try to sweep this under the rug like they usually do whenever one of their golden boys does something untoward.

I've seen players receive fines and suspensions for much much less than this.

Selwood was just mad that he cant fein high tackles after ducking, anymore.

 

[HighBudget]

What a dog act by Selwood

 

[Sewer de Lance]

In: Moore, Ahcee, Ryder
Out: Small bodied mids

 

[chiwigi]

His hustle and one percenters were important on Saturday.

 

[ab56452001]

Sam Gray out for Houn. Young out for Ah chee

No way , at least Sam Grey is a tough at the ball/player type , were as the Hoon tries to avoid the physical stuff.

 

[VineValerian]

Cats have dangerous talls, so if Paddy or Jacko is fit, they come in for Stewie (but not both in at the same time - just one of them).

 

[Kingfish73]

If ryder fit then Stewart out

 

[Byrons Firen]

Not sure why people have Stewart as an out, I really liked his game.

Ryder in for Amon/Young if he's fit, otherwise no change.

Paul Stewart can play front and back, kicks goals and importantly gives us some height.
Thought we looked small against the Dogs
His form with the Maggies and pre-season should have had him playing much earlier this year than he has.
No rush for Paddy,we're winning and achilles injuries need to be managed.
Karl Amon is a budding gun and if fit then should play. When he adds some bulk he's gunna be really something.
Did NOT agree with Krakouer being back on rookie list TJ might struggle re Geelong's small forwards.
Another danger game coz the Cats will be hungry for revenge v us

 

[240volt]

Yeah but we just can't make up a spot. He looked like he was getting his shot a month or so back, did a couple of sub spots and was dropped. Outwardly that seems harsh but there must be a reason. 30 disposals against Centrals.

Yes looks that way I just see him the best of the deck chairs. There is Ah Chee and about another 4 or 5 players who the club is looking at to the future. I think some players are looking at there last season and that will be good for both them and the club.

 

[scottjr]

Krakouer in if Shaw goes on the long term injury list.
Paddy in.

Young and Broadbent out.

 

[yepits2020]

Not sure why people have Stewart as an out, I really liked his game.

Ryder in for Amon/Young if he's fit, otherwise no change.

Only because of the loss of pace and team balance. I also liked Stewie's game.

 

[Jim Dixon]

That was the best of Paul Stewart that I've seen in a long time.

I tell you what else is back in some good form and that is Matt White giving us some run and gun with a couple of long range goals in the past couple of weeks. I just watched the last quarter of the Bulldogs game again and he seems to have got over his injury and is close to his full pace again. Makes a big difference to our outside game.

No idea with selections. Let's see who is fit on Thursday and then we'll take it from there.

 

[yepits2020]

No change.

I would not rush Trengove and Ryder back.

Hartlett is on notice. He is coasting and his field kicking is woeful at the moment.

I thought he had groin surgery in the off season and had an interrupted pre season. Will need time to get to 100 per cent. This is a coaches call about where this is done.

 

[Doctor Feel]

If Paul Stewart gets the arse and Sam Gray stays in, then its very hard not to think of Ken and his selection committee as Spazo brains.

pafc88 says this is negative.

 

[Adz2332]

In Ryder moore
Out gray amon

 

[Byrons Firen]

Shaw goes on the long term injury list.

What don't I know? News to me

If Shaw goes on the long term injury list

“The early estimate is 6-8 weeks, although we’re hoping he can pull through sooner than that,” Burgess said.
