Preview Changes Vs Tiggers round 12

[RookiePick]

We've generally been playing Schofield and Nelson as lockdown defenders and the other 4 trying to rebound wherever possible

Could Nelson run with Deledio or is that asking for disaster?

 

[lmach]

Rosa would be a very handy sub.

 

[jesterwester]

Would prefer to put Selwood on him, sets Selwood the challenge as a stopper and gets him out of the midfield.

So would I, though concerned about Selwood being burned on the lead. thinking about it, shep could be a good matchup.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Very worried that no Barrass or McInnes means Yeo will be playing in defence...

Tigers play 3 talls as well as a Deledio/Martin up forward. Shep would go to the latter - I'm worried Yeo will be needed for the former

 

[bodazoka]

I would of thought Selwood on Lids is the better match up, he gives them so much drive.

In the midfield perhaps - not when he is plating as a leading forward

I think the fact that there is one 300 gamer between the two football clubs that travel the furthest, year in and year out, is pretty good evidence.

The week started in pretty good spirit but these Tiger flogs are proving themselves neither humourous or insightful at this point. Move on and find something else to bash us for. Masto's hipster failings, Pridda's Bradbury brownlow...there is plenty of decent material to work with.

Just like your fellow Eagles fans sprouting the new and hilarious Ninthmond jokes on out board?

Yeo was just covering for Selwood - he's a defender through and through

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Yeo certain to be playing back

If you promise free likes you only have yourselves to blame.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Yeo certain to be playing back

Yep looks like it and I put him in my SC team pre Scooter.

From the looks of that article on Scooter he is up to full fitness and will be "at Nic's feet" to prove his spot before signing yada yada. No excuses now. Clean ball use going forward or we lose this one.
Yeo in the backline is like Miranda wearing an astronaughts suit. ****in waste of talent.

 

[RookiePick]

Need to be clean for sure. We were super fumbly against the bombers.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

we will beat these Tiger Prawns

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Surprised that we didn't fly over Barrass or Fmac just in case Gov doesn't get up. I guess Yeo is a certainty to take Gov's spot otherwise...

Can always fly barass over tomorrow if McGovern doesn't come up.

But I have a feeling we've gone with rosa as backup for gov down back.

Did Duggan travel?

Don't remeber if he has or not, but has Rosa ever played on a tall fwd, and if he has, how did he do?
Instead of Yeo, hope that they try Hurn and/or Ellis instead. Hurn can play tall, while Ellis did okay against taller players on Saturday when Gov was off (iirc).

 

[Dark Sharks]

DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK PRIDDIS SUCKS DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK SELWOOD IS A HACK DO NOT PLAY YEO DOWN BACK

 

[Suma Magic]

Gov will be fine.

I'm praying to God that we play Yeo as a mid/fwd.

Pumped for this game. I'm expecting to lose but it's great to have close to a full strength side for Friday night footy at the G.

Apparently same 22 as last week minus Butler plus Nelson and Rosa. So Duggan travelled.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

He played on Gov once but it still can't be confirmed if he is indeed a tall or small.

Thanks, just got back from work and this is the fastest way to get news.

Wondering whether we may have rosa/nelson in for butler, Duggan to sub. Looks like he needs a rest iMO.

That is if gov plays.

If Yeo plays back, he might prevent a couple of scores, but it would result in us being smashed in the middle.

Rosa played on westhoff in the preseason game earlier this year. Not ideal, but he could play as a third tall at a pinch. Would be good to run off a player.

If we don't play gov, and don't bring in barass then id say hurn gets the 2nd tall. Richmond, although they play 3 talls, don't play them all i50 like we used to- one rotates off the wing as a lead up. So you could get away with a rosa type on Griffiths if that is his role.

Wasn't too confident earlier in the week, but becoming bullish now about our chances.
