Preview Changes vs GWS (Elimination Final)

[Dogs_R_Us]

I was checking if any Haynes news?

He'll play. It was a bit of a beat-up and no doubt hope the plastics will be fired up for "revenge".

Why do they keep claiming Greene is an "IN"? Played last time... only Cameron, Finlayson and Hopper didn't

 

[Jeff 1975]

Trengove or Dicko only maybe - otherwise ‘no change’

He missed the Suns game, so is an in from their Rd 23 game.

Yes but that was a bye week

He played against us.. they're clutching at straws

He is an in, mate. He didn't play the last time GWS took to the field. That's the logic behind it. You may not agree, but it's correct.

In that context.. not how it was written.... They were talking about round 22

Why the fu** didn’t Grant just kick it off the ground ?

Or get out of hudsons way.

 

[Braybrook Son]

My god! I forgot the Grant/Hudson debacle. That was the winning goal served up on a platter and they totally f&$@ed it up. Hudson should have shepherded Grant and been a voice instead of bloody fighting him for it.
That stuff up cost us a flag.
Forget about every other storied incident (Libba, M West, Cook getting hit by the apple...) the whole game came down to that moment in an open goal.
Fu@@k!!!!!’

Incorrect. A chance at a flag!

Looks like a fine day with a breeze with 15 to 25 klms. Hopefully Tim can be like an extra midfield against Mummy. Glad it is not wet as that would have favoured Mummy.

No, a flag. We would have flogged the Saints as did Radelaide.

Do we have to talk about this?

 

[dergert]

Need to stop greene.

Weather at Plastics Stadium is a bit different to what the Sydney forecast usually is, at lot of the showers and wind stays along the coast and doesn't get that far in land so hopefully the winds will be a little lighter

You don’t know we would’ve beaten St Kilda. Every game is different. I’m sick of people talking about what ifs from 97’. Need to move on

 

[Cudi]

Get excited peeps!

true.

but we would have smashed them.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Did Doc play against GWS last time? He’s so reliable down back.

Only changes Dicko and Trengove in, Hayes and West out.

 

[Yojimbo]

The whispers around the watercooler,
Are getting louder making quite a din,
Bevo has got out the magic marker,
And it's Billy Gowers back in,
Who is out I hear you cry,
I am sure Bevo has put much thought in,
The name on every bodies lips,
Well it's bloody Aaron Naughton.

Why are we bringing in Trenners and taking out a small? Needs to be like for like as we have obviously for the formula right as of recent. If Trenners comes in it's for Lewy Young.

Or cordy

Don’t even joke about Billy Gowers coming in mate. We want to win!

 

[bullish23]

Dickson and Trengrove just have to play.

West misses, Young very unlucky and Cordy very, very lucky

Its really interesting at selection this week. Two things that I can't get out of my head:

1. Lewis Young is probably a better match-up for the Giant's forwards than Cordy or Trengove.

2. West was soooo sharp against Adelaide for a second game.

The question then becomes whether the coaches think we need more ammo in the ruck and backline (Trengove) or forward/mid West.

I think there's no doubt that Dickson will come in. If it's a position for position change then West goes out.

Hayes in the team is a bridge too far for me. He's just not clean enough when the heat is on and this pressure will be doubled in the finals. I think Richards has clicked in the last few weeks and can't see him being dropped.

The other issue that keeps coming to mind is Naughton v Davis. I reckon Davis beat Naughton for most of the last game and was simply undone by weight of numbers in the end. For this reason I think its vital that Schache stays deep and gives Naughton a chop out. The only way to achieve this IMO is for Trengove to provide some ruck relief so Schache doesn't need to go into the ruck.

So, my finall call is:

Out: Hayes, West
In: Trengove, Dickson

B: Wood Cordy Trengove
HB: Dureya Young Crozier
C: Hunter Bontempelli Johanissen
HF: Smith Schache Lloyd
F: Dale Naughton Dickson
FOL: English Dunkley Macrae
INT: Richards Suckling Maclean Lipinski

There's enough run on the field and on the bench, and English will run rings around Mumford. Trengove in gives Cordy the option to take a medium or small forward. Richards, Maclean and Lipinski can all rotate through the midfield and forward line to apply pressure to Williams and Whitfield.

Go Dogs!

 

[bobs head soup]

We're not big on ''run with' type roles, but I'd love to see Bailey Smith go to Whitfield. I reckon Whitfield is our biggest danger as he is the one who can get the ball in quickly and precisely.

Reckon Whitfield is the type to get irritated by close attention, especially a first year player with swagger who'll take no sh1t , harass and pressure.

Baz could hurt him going the other way too

Sorry about the BS, BS.
