Dogs v swans changes

[Cudi]

 

[Mr. Walker]

Garcia in for McNeil (need some physical impact)

I have not seen Footscray play this year or last so am in no position to question your suggestion. But based on my watching of him in senior games any sort of impact let alone physical impact has not been evident. Has he been showing something at Footscray this year?

Given he is just back from a long term injury, no

Not a great loss, out of form. Give Garcia a crack. I would love to see Westy and Sunny team up and apply some pressure. Bailey has been battling. He was ordinary Friday night.

If Gardner can’t get up I would like to see Darcy in. Naughty rolling through CHF/CHB, helping out Keath, Williams, O’Donnell etc and still kicking a couple.

If not Darcy give Buku a run - he’s a impressive footballler.

Oliver Gigacz did you have an opinion on Darcy's ruckwork from the weekend?


In last year's disastrous final against Freo when Lobb and Sean Darcy were toweling English and the rest of our midfield, the best we looked during the onslaught was when Sam Darcy played minutes in there.

Just my 2c but happy to be proven wrong.

Only managed to catch the last 3 quarters but I do think there is ruck potential there but his contested marking is just out of this world so I'd want him forward. It's a good problem to have though.

 

[Lee]

Don’t think we’ll see many changes this week only forced ones being possibly Bazzalenka and Gards. Would love to see Garcia and Darcy get runs but I think we’ll see Scott/Baker in for Baz and Bruce in for Gards

Have not felt this confident in a perceived 50/50 game since the cats game and we know what happened there. Oh well at least we are not playing a Chris Scott

team that we just cannot beat for some reason. Plus, the swans supporters believe we will get an armchair ride from the umps. Cannot believe they are still banging on about the 2016 Grand final. Ok we did get 12 more free kicks but I doubt that made the difference we won by 22 points in a canter at the finish.

Don’t mention the war

 

[Libbaaaa]

Lloyd out after that cheap hit from that absolute dirty dog Nankervis. Warner confirmed out as well. Hickey can barely bloody move, impose your will Tim and give our guys first use.

 

[Smiley Boy]

Lobb out Darcy in should please a few

 

[goodcop badcop]

Lobb out Darcy in should please a few

Omission or injury related?

 

[Munnez]

Omission or injury related?

Not on the injury list so would have to assume omitted if he’s out

Lobb out Darcy in should please a few

Will it please Timmy?

I suppose the smaller ground somewhat mitigates things for Darcy given his match fitness/readiness.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Lobb Out (omitted) - Darcy in
Smith out (illness) - JJ / Garcia in
Gardner out (ankle) - Bruce in

I'd still try to fit Cleary in somewhere, he deserves a shot more than most, been putting together a real strong VFL season this year

If VDM is pushed up the ground to replace Smith, Cleary would be some sort of chance as his precise kicking would be valuable on the smaller SCG.

If Gardner pulls a Lazarus, Lobb/Darcy and Cleary/Smith could be the only changes. Scott sub.

 

[Claudonious]

They have the biggest Whinging fan base in world Sports

And the Irony is they then call out Bevo for being a gold medal sook…..

It’s fabulous that they continue to hurt so much. They were garbage in the 16 grand final. Take away Kennedy, and they lose by 15 goals.

Baz wouldn’t be dropped but might want some time off to recover from illness, whether mental or physical. Prolonged cold wet weather can cause depression or a lowering of the psyche, especially if you’re particularly prone to those issues.

Don't need to preach about prolonged cold wet weather causing depression.

Baz out for Thursday night.

Injury Update: Bailey Smith

Bailey Smith has been ruled out of this Thursday night's clash with Sydney due to illness.

In: Darcy, Cleary
Out: Lobb, Smith

Either Caleb or VDM to Smith's half forward role.

I've watched the 2nds all season Cleary has been outstanding he's quick can kick nice hands decent size.
Sweet is a great centre bounce ruck taps to advantage and has mongrel in him. Poor old Khamis can't get a look in done nothing wrong can play both ends.
Darcy is a future star of the game Sydney's little ground will suit him play him for christ sake.
So bring those 4 in that's my bloomin lot.

Don’t worry, it’s been cold everywhere this year, even in Queensland

Cleary really needs to be rewarded with a game. With 3-4 of Dale, Duryea, Daniel, Richards & VDM playing, we can afford to bring in a genuine medium defender into the side. He can certainly play a role on a Hayward type.

How quick is he?

a) JJ/VDM quick
b) Treloar/Richards quick
c) Williams/Dale/Bont quick
d) Jack Macrae quick
e) None of the above
