Analysis Changes vs Melbourne

[Ridge Renegade]

You cocked that gag up

It hasn't been this much fun since the days of Jason Ball & Dean Cox. Shame we've never had a Phil McCracken, Lee Nonhole or better yet a Terry C**t.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Cole should be an out. I think he has tools, but gee he didn't really seem to come back to this season looking any fitter or stronger. Rotham or Nelson should get a crack at his gig in the side.

A bit worried if Schoey is injured. I'm not sure Rotham or Edwards would be ready to hold down FB yet.

Ruck is an interesting conundrum. If we opt to bring Hickey in do we drop Vardy, Allen or Waterman? With Hickey being more of a solo ruck type, Vardy really becomes more of a forward who chops out add one of Allen or Waterman to that and we really are too tall. If one of them survive they really need to play between the arcs and not inside the f50. Something they've struggled to do this year. Really get's me worried we will go too tall and cook it.

I share your concern.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

What’s this about then?

Probably his 4 possession game

 

[twinkletoes#17]

Think Waterman should get another week.

Out : OAllen
In: Rioli

OAllen was iced to the max after that game, hammy and calf on the same leg. Time for a rest I think.

So we know NicNat will need a partner when he returns as he cannot run out a game as primary ruck. Is it Vardy or Hickey? In 12 months time I hope it is NicNat and Williams.

Meantime - I think our manning up Gawn was a major key to our prelim domination so I would like to see both Vardy and Hickey. Max on the loose bring more of the demon mids into play

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Hickey Brander
Out: Allen Waterman

 

[Balls In]

Need to get Rioli in as soon as his foot is right. With the bye coming up we need to get him up and about.

In terms of changes;

Schofield might not play due to cracked ribs.

Cole is still struggling.

O Allen is looking sore and his output is down

Vardy is really struggling and has done all year.

IN
Hickey, Rioli, Rotham

OUT
OAllen, Cole/Schofield, Vardy

 

[RookiePick]

Out: Schoey (Inj), Oallen (Inj/Rest)
In: Hickey, Rotham

Gov will have to take the best Melbourne key forward. Bunga to take the second and Shep the third. Rotham to play intercept tall. Really not ideal but that's where we are at with Barrass and Schoey down. Gov will have to suck it up and play accountable footy as the biggest body left in the defence.

We will need a big effort from the mids and accuracy from the forwards. The defence could be pretty leaky if we put it under too much strain.

 

[FKASC]

Replace Allen with Allen

 

[Chris_6678]

Not sure Rotham to play second tall for Schoey is a good idea? I would rather we either swing O Allen back ( But Hickey needs to come in too) or bring in Brander. Nelson for Cole i wouldn't mind seeing if Nelson has improved.

So for me:

Out: Schofield (Inj) Cole
In: Hickey, Nelson

 

[Hap Hapablap]

allen needs a rest. waterman can cover him

rioii in for allen.

masten wont be in. i think we wont see him in unless there is an injury

 

[Agent93]

Changes? Nah, fold the club. We'e done.

 

[TY24]

If Schoey’s ribs are banged up then add Rotham to the list of ins.

[squashface]

Gee, Schofield injures now as well? Is Edwards the only other fit KPD on our list?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

On the other side, Hibberd, Melksham and possibly Lewis all out injured

 

[Chris_6678]

Melksmah is a big loss for them.

 

[TY24]

Melksham tore us a new one in round 22 last year, could be decisive.

[Luuuc]

Need to get Rioli in as soon as his foot is right.

But it's his left!

 

[FKASC]

Melksham has been trash this year but has been playing much better the past two weeks as he’s moved into the middle more.

Confidence player - can be damaging to both sides depending on how much of a head of steam he has

 

[Mico89]

Out: Vardy, waterman,Schofield
In: Rioli, Hickey, Rotham

 

[Balls In]

But it's his left!

You dickhead

 

[campaigner___]

Oallen goes out for Rioli if he's fit.

Waterdog gets another shot. Schomo goes out for the Rottweiler.

Gawn is a nuisance to ruck against. Simdog usually likes to wear him down with 2 rucks. Not sure who GTFO to make space for Hickdog though.

In saying all this MC will announce an unchanged lineup on thursday 6:20pm AEST

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Knowing what we have been like in the wet - all clear for Friday

 

[eagles rule]

Big road trip for Melb , Gold Coast to Perth and a six day break ..
