Preview Changes vs West Coast

[Lord Nev]

Melksham and Turner in for Oliver and Fullarton, still no JVR

Turner to the backline with Riv into the middle? Guess that makes sense if WC play all their tall forwards, but why TF would we change the forward structure now when it was finally working a bit?

Melksham over JVR seems an odd choice.

Who is going to be rucking when Max comes off?

 

[Lord Nev]

Who is going to be rucking when Max comes off?

Assuming Petty? Which means 0 key forwards to kick to...

Absolutely ridiculous. Crazy Goody at it again.

 

[Daemon]

Didn't JVR find form in the VFL? Wouldn't you bring him in over geriatric melky?

The only reason I can think of is that it is an away game and Goody enjoys his company at mealtime.

He couldn't have been picked for football reasons.

Oh I agree. Goody and Melky are best mates and Goody loves picking his favourites.

I have nothing against the milkman either. He's been a great player but his best is way behind him and he isn't offering much.

I mean it's goody, that's why.

 

[schmuttt]

Wrecking the forward pressure is mental though, even for goody. Turner defs plays forward I think.

 

[Lampers]

I wonder who will get Oliver’s midfield minutes? No mid brought in to replace him.

Probably will be spread between a few. Rivers? Langford? Sparrow? Trac more mid than forward?

Will be interesting to see how our midfield looks without Oliver. Don't mind the changes, Melksham was OK and wasn't actually dropped just rested. Turner looked better back as well. Bit surprised that JVR couldn't squeeze in.

One of the more surprising and enjoyable posts.

 

[mrmonkey]

Looking at the forecast and looks like there will be some rain, so perhaps that's the reason for going a bit shorter forward.

Seem to recall Melksham playing as a decoy/tagging forward on McGovern in the past, so expect we roll with that again.

But as others have raised, if Turner has to play back if WC go tall then we have no tall forwards when Petty is rucking.

Yeah that might be the reason, but they may have had plans to roll with melksham regardless because he was never really dropped just managed.

Simple solution. Never rest Gawn.

The 'managed' wasn't a rest, it was due to the cut on his leg not being healed enough.

OK, but he still wasn't really dropped just needed an extra week.

How the ****

Is Laser not selected off 32 and 2.

Absolute piss take choosing to bring in a geriatric ahead of a young beast in Laser.

No wonder our performing depth players continue to leave.

Rested him for half a quarter last week

Bringing Tholstrup straight into the 1s -ahead of Laser without having to prove himself and to see him struggle to get 6 disposals is also a piss take.

It's pretty simple really. Goody and his coaches must think Laurie is shit
