Unofficial Preview Changes vs GWS

[hey shorty]

I would definitely not drop ROB. The only way Sauce plays is we play both. I would love to see it despite what everyone says that you cant lay two rucks. West Coast did it last year. Port do it. Playing both will allow them to be fresh all game and run the opposition ruckman around. I know it was a different era but we won back to back premierships playing three ruckman.

You can do it if theyre both mobile, Sauce isnt.

Wouldnt have an issue trying it as I said, but this week isnt it

 

[marty36]

Huge week for the coaches they need to decide if they still think they can get to finals and have some chance at the flag

I Doubt they will be trying to develop players like McHenry or Jones they simply will likely have poor output for such an important game to them

MCrouch is a must to come in if fit and probably Harto for Match ups

Going on the fact its a must win they cant get a performance like what Murphy played on the weekend so he will be ommitted

Sloane is unlikely due to injury

Not sure if they will go Sauce to risky for such an important game and the same for Douglas

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Ok let’s get this kicked off.


Here’s what I would do...

Out: Sloane (inj), Mackay, Atkins
In: M Crouch, McHenry, Hartigan

Our defense was an absolute rabble without Harto tonight. I’m not Harto’s biggest fan, but holy **** Mackay was beyond awful and the structure was all wrong.

Atkins had the worst 27 possession game in history. He was absolutely disgraceful. Need McHenry’s frontal pressure instead.



Here’s what is infinitely more likely to happen....

Out: Sloane (inj), ROB, Murphy
In: M Crouch, Jacobs, Douglas

Watch hartigan when he plays, he is very vocal and tells everyone where in the zone to stand. Also when there's a miss match in defense as a result of rotations , he genrally takes it.

When he came back, goals against dried up.
First game out, we leaked again. Like we did before he was given another go.

Roo playing games on radio, Bout sloane. Says he will play. Yet scans confirmed a slight tear. Along with his shoulder injury, they have to rest him. This ain't a do or die game. If we lose and his injury get worse, we are in trouble. If we lose and he comes back raring to go, our season very much alive.

LOt of changes for a team that won

We deserved to lose though.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

There are potentially other things going on with Gibbs, though.

200 games at Carlton is what's going on.

Take a kid who for ten years lived with his Foster parents, who were ice freaks. Then put that kid back with his real family, a good Christian family.

Mums knickers will disappear, dad's beer replaced with water. Neighbours cat shot with Air rifle. This will go on for years.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

From someone who was at the North game, Sauce played well and rucked well also but he seemed to me to have very heavy legs in the last quarter. I think they'll give him another run in the 2's game tbo.

Missed a lot of footy, would be silly to risk him in not only a must win game but an exceptionally hard game against a top 4 team

Agree but they found a way to win

 

[thebirdman 24]

I'd love to see us with two ruckmen, even if GWS only run with one.

In the Bris game we had Crouch out for part of the game and against Melb we had sloane out and we ran close in both games and both teams are good running teams. Yet we have Tex, Jenkins, Sauce earlier in the year and ROB barely able to make contests and jump for the ball because they're that blown out. Run two friggin ruckman, Sauce and ROB, three if you count Jenkins, get rid of one mid (which we have mids crashing in to each other at the contest anyway), rotate the rucks to spend some time up forward and watch the marks we take skyrocket and the taps and hit outs skyrocket too.

Don't mind this. Also allows us to drop Jenkins for Fog in the future instead of Himmelberg.

Melbourne found a way to lose.

 

[Murray2503]

Not sure why anyone is getting excited by Sauce kicking 5 goals in the SANFL...it has zero relevance to his AFL game.

Last years hit out stats in the corresponding Melb game... Gawn 49, Jacobs 21.

Oh, and why would ROB need a rest? It’s his 5th year on the list, built like the proverbial brick ****house and is one of the fittest guys on the list. He’s also easily the better type of ruck to combat Mumford.

If ROB gets a game this week, I’m sure the club will use the 5 day break to get Jacobs back in the week after. Then he will beat up on a weak Richmond ruck and get his gold pass back on our road to 8th.

If anyone has seen the sanfl highlights on you tube from the weekend you can see they were playing against witches hats. No pressure whatsoever. I wouldn't be using that game as a guide to selecting Jacob's.

There was pressure, but Sauce was a foot taller than his opponent

 

[SuperBashBros]

I can understand where the Murphy droppers are coming from, but maybe they are only stats watchers. I watched a replay of the Melbourne game and what was noticeable about Murphy was his closing speed, aggression, and excellent value from all of his involvements, especially scoring chains, whether he logged a statistic, or not. It was an eye-opener to me, and I would not drop him. I expect that the Club knows all of this better than me. He is small, and with a limited-range kick, but he provides very good value. If he ever ups his stats, .........!

Wouldnt be against bringing Ned in for Murph. He can do what Murph does with pressure and tackling but might be a bit more productive too.

 

[Murray2503]

So is status credits at the club. Sauce being in the platinum program with JJ and Gibbs down silver.

What tier is campo in? Triple plat?

 

[skam85]

It's going to be Douglas and Sauce for Sloane and ROB, let's not pretend otherwise.

 

[Murray2503]

Cameron is not a behemoth: he's fast, and whoever we play on him has to be big and fast. Anyone?

Keath or Hartigan best options for Cameron.

 

[skam85]

We deserved to lose though.

We were lucky, but let's not forget we were the team who was in front deep into the final quarter.

 

[hey shorty]

They go on what the players say, and believe it or not most of them love him.

Unfortunately that means the club thinks he's doing a great job.

 

[footy4ever]

M Crouch? Or is he already ruled out?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I wouldn’t be melting if they recalled Sauce. ROB has done a decent job overall, was soundly beaten by Vardy in the second half v WCE which didn’t help our cause - then of course Gawn was = BOG last game.

He’s had a good run at it and, similar to Easy, would probably benefit from a spell back in the 2’s.

I don’t think it would. Mumford is the athletic type that could jump all over, its more about strength in a wrestle.
Also I don’t see how Sauce could be fit enough after 1 sanfl game.

 

[Murray2503]

My bet on Gws would not be unhappy with Douglas and Sauce coming in.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Harto,Sauce and MCrouch probably for DMac,Murph and ROB. Need the Rat to re-assess future in 2's.

Nah he will be in, might keep Dougy in the 2s.
