Preview Geelong vs Hawthorn, Easter Monday 5th April, 3:20pm @ MCG

[Pure_Ownage]

Of course they play different positions. It doesn’t mean that should be the only determinate of selection.

Its one of them when you are composing a team. Dahl should be dropped for close thats a like for like..dropping him for a mid changes the structure.

 

[year of the cat]

Not enough mid time for cc with duncan back unless duncan plays HF which maybe he should do.

Dahl will be out soon but probably for close not CC.

We also have Dangerfield out. I get Constable going out when he’s back. But does another mid get dropped for him? Clearly not.

 

[Turbocat]

My thoughts exactly. Tactically i think its the right call to win this game but i wouldnt do it every week.

I have not seen enough of the kid, but at his size and attributes I could see him getting games this year...

With Miers and Evans in the team we didn’t need an additional small forward, particularly one out of form.

If DHouse was a legit FP weapon..like a green..then id wear his recruitment ..but a FP role should be like an entry level for the mids that we will need very soon. Evans , Close ... probably another I cant think off..

I can only hope Tarheny shows enough to demand a FP spot.


The other issue is. ...it seems kicking scores in 'IN"... Kruger or someone as the third tall should be getting a game now... as we have no Rohan or Cameron or Sav. If not now...then when.

Mm... yes picking Dhouse has the vibe of drinking home brew. One doesn't want to see him missing games in Y3 of a 4Y contract

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Don’t think we’ve had a late change yet
Think that would be the case tomorrow
In Close, out someone “sore”

Late switch Dahlhaus for Close is a change I could get behind

Could you see Duncan's creativity and skill as a HBF?
Close for Dahl makes sense if he is ready.
Watching the Lions a bit in recent years, Daniel Rich has become an excellent HBF.
I could see Duncan in that role.
Tuohy is already a winger or hf.
MOC is tagging/mf.
Leaves Kolo, Stewart, Bews, Hendo, Blicavs as permanent defenders. Henry is a good i/c utility type player.
Atkins- I would play Dunc there.

Who would you select first in this team - Dahlhaus who’s given sfa or Constable who has admittedly endurance issues but can at least win his own footy and impact a game? That’s my point.

Would depend who the other 20/21 players selected are and then select based on team balance requirements - I don't see this as Dahlhaus vs Constable for that last spot or them competing for the same spot as they play different roles

How’s the structure with only one tall forward playing?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

and he did not play at all his first year...

Indeed I was thinking the lack of positive reports on Miers meant he was destined for a delisting then the next thing I know he's not missed a game since

 

[Lana]

I'm worried that they're putting in Holmes way too quickly, he has what School football and two VFL practice matches before an AFL debut.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

With Miers and Evans in the team we didn’t need an additional small forward, particularly one out of form.

If we did bring in close though he'd be in for like one game then likely out for Cameron. Better to not disrupt a young player?

With only one tall forward in the team you could argue that we should bring in one of them to maintain structure.

I just don’t get why Dahlhaus retains his spot in front of about 5 other candidates - Constable, Close, Krueger, Jarvis and Jenkins

 

[thecatattack]

What’s the point in dropping Constable after 1 game?

I tend to think any experience is better than none.

Maybe, but I think a lot of coaches would hesitate to bring in a kid if it's highly likely they're only in for one.

 

[Oraz]

anyone else worried we only have 1 key forward?

 

[catempire]

We get to replace him with Mitch Duncan.

 

[catempire]

Come on, Cale Hooker just bagged 5 goals. Chin up!

 

[foxdog50]

I meant after coming back from injury. I wasn't sure he was ready, but CS says he is close.

Dahlhaus was in the same boat with injury

 

[Vdubs]

anyone else worried we only have 1 key forward?

I know I'm stating the obvious, but
-Cameron and Sav are out injured.
-Rohan and Danger are suspended.
What choice do we have? Jenkins?

 

[Vdubs]

Dahlhaus was in the same boat with injury

What do you disagree with?

 

[foxdog50]

Doesn't look great with only 1 goal kicking option in Hawkins... im a little concerned

As a fully fledged member of the"Misfits", the best chance of seeing Kreuger this year would be if they decided to rest/manage/omit someone like Henderson, Blicavs or Kolodjashnij

Jenkins or maybe Jarvis would seem to have been the taller forward options this week
