Preview Changes Vs Tiggers round 12

[Dark Sharks]

The 2 reasons behind our midfield resurgence right there. Well, until Selwood returned and things went back to normal obviously.

Dirty rugby league game ripping up the MCG turf.

Exactly what I thought, but I didn't use the word dirty!

Great move by the AFL to schedule a Friday night match at the MCG less than 48 hours after this. Should be playing at home since Freo have a bye anyway!

Any word on open training sessions in Melbourne?

I think the club site mentioned something.

Would be guttered if this trodden up turf caused by those urine drinking meatheads, inflicted further leg injuries on our squad!!!

Even phill walsh said don't underestimate how hard it is coming off two six week breaks playing a team who has had a 15 day break on 360

Can't believe Gov has only missed on game this year. What a warrior

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

West Coast would have played 3 games in 13 days. Richmond 2 in 14. Seems legit AFL.

If we're good enough we'll win, the only real issue is less time for Gov to recover.

watched footy show and everyone bar Gary Lyon went with tigers.

i understand how ppl are frustrated with yeo playing at the back. me too to an extent, but i think simmo does that on purpose sometimes to pressure opposition mids and confuse them, mind you yeo dashing from half back is always a pleasure to watch too. he is a big boy and shrugs off tackles hence why i think simmo gives him spell there at times. ideally him in middle would be better, not too sure if he has the tank yet to be in middle full time.hence the sort of half bank with licence to be a winger role he has at this time. he is still work in progress in eyes of Simmo IMO.

That's unexpected...Lyon jumping on the Eagles bandwagon!

Playing in the back line also allows him to press up and sit outside our 50m arc for the big grab and rebound 50. If he was playing forward or in the midfield he'd be wasted inside 50 in the congestion.

Against Essendon he spent the entire game playing forward and midfield.

He must be running the wrong way?

Haha I remember that

We have to be a few goals in front at three qtr time to have a shot at winning, we'll run out of legs.

What a sick kent, name another player in our team who could do that. Shuey perhaps.

I've actually seen Hurn do something similar, and maybe a few others. Though Yeo looks like he makes the sharpest changes in direction.

Pretty funny how low our boner threshold for a bit of run-and-carry has become in recent years...

Schofield used to do it regularly.
