About right. Hopefully Gawn can come in.

3 posts and no mention of VINEY!?

Pedersen should go but won't due to structure etc. Wish we still had Sellar.

McKenzie will be needed too I think.

never thought I'd see those words written in this forum

If Fitz isn't right for this week, unfortunately we'll have no choice but to keep ped. Insert a thousand sad faces here.

With stkilda so depleted i was surprised we didnt hard tag Jones or armitage

 

[Topkent]

OUT- Rohan I couldnt kick a beached whale Bail

 

[Tulip]

Gawn should play at FF.

In: Gawn, Blease, McKenzie

Not sure who should go out yet.

But Gawn is essential, Blease gives that x-factor which we need with our talls out and Jordie cracks in around the clearances.

The problem with dropping Pedo is that the same thing that happened to him will happen to the tall we bring in - being double teamed.

Purely as a third tall, Pedo has a role to play until we get our regular forward stocks back. If he can take a defender and chip in here or there without being a go to man then I can live with that in the interim.

His specific problem is his conditioning. He needs a bit more power at the contest and general fitness. He is prepared to work but his impact is limited. I'd still keep him as a third tall though just for now even if it is to prevent someone else getting double teamed.

Where's Dean Kent at?

I completely forgot about him, his penetration would have been useful at etihad

 

[Mijhaa]

In: Gawn
Out: Pedo

Yeah we could have used Kent and Blease last night, as players that would actually take the game on.

Don't mean to intrude. From an outsiders perspective i thought your midfield looked ok at times but due to injuries your fwd line just wasnt there.
Think getting Gawn in would help you alot as he is also better in ruck than Fitzpatrick was. He looked like he would be right for next week IMO.
Viney will cap off that midfield too i reckon.

Out: Kennedy-Harris, Pederson (unless McDonald is out)
In: Viney, Gawn

 

[KAYNE]

Bail has to go. I'd swap for Blease.
Gawn in for Fitz or Pedo.

I also think if we get Hogan and Dawes back fit Howe could end up struggling to get a game. He was woeful last night.

 

[LBJ6]

In: Gawn, Viney, Blease
Out: Pederson, Bail, JKH

 

[DanA]

How far away is Dawes and Hogan?

 

[Blackas87]

Don't think Roos will make too many changes, only one or two at the most.

I think we had too many smalls ( Bail, Byrnes, JKH) in the game, I think one should go.

Adding Gawn to play forward would really help.

Undecided on Pedo, will have to see how Fitzy and Macca pull up.

I also wouldn't mind Mckenzie in the team, he should become our permanent tagger each week.

Pedo actually looks for contact. A lot of times last night he ran straight at the guy putting a Shepard on and dropped him

Too many times in his marking contests instead of forcing the ball over the boundary line he tried to out mark 5 guys, now he wasnt bad in that he didnt get outmarked but i thought we could have used him more to set up forward stoppages
