Changes vs Los Bombres

[Sully90]

Ross has indicated on Channel 7 news that Harley won't play AFL again this week. Groan.......

They were probably always planning to save him for a home game.

Apparently we might run with all 3 of Jones, Darcy and Sandilands....

Will be interesting to say the least.

So basically mark or easy rebound.

With our forward entries, just easy rebound.

Three big boys there. I can't remember us every playing 3 x 200+cm players in our history... love to be corrected on this one.

Did we ever play Tabs/Darcy/Sandi?

I think we once played Sandi/Clarke/Hannath

With all due respect but I would Sandi/Darcy/Jones playing!

 

[rgauci]

I don’t mind the height. You can’t rebound a marked ball.

 

[Purpletown]

So while many teams are going with only 1 true ruckman, we decide to go with 3. In "Yes Minister" that would be called "brave".

That's worth a like for giving Sir Humphrey's advice an airing after all this time. A classic show.

 

[malpaso]

Park Sandi in the goal square, jones and darcy ruck.

 

[Rion]

Would be alright with the big 3. If Sandi stays on next year he'll be playing at least 50% forward so we might as well take a look now at whether he's up to it.

We did play Sandilands, Griffin and Taberner in the 2015 prelim. First game Ross coached vs Geelong it was Sandilands, Clarke, Bradley...but Bradley is about 1cm under the 200.

We played 3 x 200cm and over players on the weekend.

Darcy, Jones and Alex Pearce (listed as 200cm on the FFC website).

*Apeness is also listed at 200cm on the FFC website.

 

[trentjac]

Park Sandi in the goal square, jones and darcy ruck.

Problem is, Sandi handballs every mark he makes so we would only end up with behinds

 

[anchor man]

Seems both Darcy and Sandilands are still doubtful and Stranadica may be given a run.

Where did you hear this?

 

[anchor man]

On the radio.Both have to pass fitness tests.The playing of Strnadica, if these two don't get up is my own thoughts.Not the clubs.

Pearce is so agile I don’t even see him as being that tall.

 

[Righteo]

Frigate just a reminder that it's your preview this week mate.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I don't like the sound of that.

 

[mightymouse75]

So good to see Darcy playing. Don't take him away sweet Jesus

Do you think Strnadica is ready?

I havent seen him play before, or know much about him too be fair. But he does have a cool name

 

[Schauermann]

We did play Sandilands, Griffin and Taberner in the 2015 prelim. First game Ross coached vs Geelong it was Sandilands, Clarke, Bradley...but Bradley is about 1cm under the 200.

Taberner is 199cm as well.

Anyway:
Rd23, 2013
Sandi/Hannath/Moller/Taberner

And we played Hannath/Clarke/Taberner a few times...

 

[Tbonefreo]

Far out we were probably winning then as well.

 

[Joao]

Reckon that would have been a "rest" game leading into finals.

 

[Freomaniac]

Funny how the mind set is after beating Port.

I assumed we are a quarter or half a chance to beat Essendon?

 

[Unique Name]

Why. They are 12th we are 13th.

I was somewhat confident in beating the Bombers and that was before we wrestled a win off Port.

Even without Fyfe I think our midfield (inside and outside) is superior to theirs. Especially if we run with the Sandi/Darcy combo.

Our backline should be more than able to cope with their undermanned forwardline (No Danniher/Stringer).

Our biggest issue is our forwardline going against their backline which is quite strong.

Eithad doesn't hold any fear for our team.

Maybe slightly in Bombers favour simply for being their home game. If we turn up.... big if, we're every chance to win.
