Preview Preview/changes v. Brisbane - Round 18

[Headless]

Petty looked iffy in the last quarter. Could bring JVR back (I would).

What changes would you make if any for the Lions at the 'G?

 

[Daemon]

Love Kozzie but he is a shadow of himself. No idea what is going on but he needs a spell. We need JVR back, bring him in for Koz.

 

[Johnny Karate]

Kozzy has been terrible. If we’re going to win, we must drop him for Deakyn Smith.

[booshboy]

OUT: Petty (Injured), Kozzie
IN: Tomo, Laurie.

 

[Lord Nev]

Will hold off for the Casey game, but would be fair to say Chandler would be spending a bit of extra time on the pregame mixtape this week...

 

[dylan93]

JVR in for J. Smith/Brown.

Kozzie either into the guts or make him sub for a wake-up call.

I’m getting a Troy Davis vibe

 

[The Dr]

Surely JVR comes in and plays a few games with Brown next to him ahead of finals.

Then either have Melk or Smith as the third tall until (if) Fritter comes back.

If we're going to play Gus in the midfield anyway I'd rather just drop him and bring in Dunstan.

 

[Daemon]

Drop Jordon. Move Trac back into the middle, he can rotate forward with Kozzie (last chance, if he sucks next week he is dropped). Bring in JVR.
Move Brayshaw back and give Rivers more midfield time.
Melky and Brown played pretty well so they can't be dropped but really I only see Melky warming Fritschs seat until he comes back.
Smith can stay sub.

Jordon was solid. Leave him in till he shits the bed.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Jordon Jones would probably do well in the ANB role. Unfortunately for him we definitely only need one of them.

 

[Alpine Lodger]

I wonder when Will Verrall will be over his pelvis injury. Grundy was worst on ground for mine yesterday, despite what the stats say. He did not have one effective disposal against the Saints. I reckon Gawn was also in the worst 5 Melbourne players yesterday. Take away his contested marking and he is seriously exposed as a player.

 

[mrmonkey]

If Petty is injured bring in tomlinson but they may stick with Smith. Would like to see JVR back in not sure who makes way. Kozzie lucky imo but is still dangerous, would like to see if they try something different with him to get him more involved.

 

[Dancing Potato]

If Petty is injured then bring in Tomo.

Melk wasn't awful, but surely he has to make way for JVR.

JJ out for literally any youngster.

petracca is staying forward for a while

 

[Dory_77]

Tomo if Petty misses.
Kozz looks lost atm. Wouldn't be against a week in VFL for him, JVR back or run the smaller setup again with Chin coming in.

 

[Lampers]

I’d agree based upon Goodwin’s post match presser where he confirmed Trac was likely to stay more forward for a while. Apparently Saturday was the biggest forward split Trac has played in a game since 2019.

Verrall has played the last few VFL games. Showed some nice promise, but got towelled up by Tom Campbell.

If you hated Grundy and Gawn on Saturday, you’ll despise Verrall.

I reckon they will stick with JJ. He got Trac’s midfield minutes along with Brayshaw and Trac according to Goodwin will play more forward. In fact JJ had the most centre bounce attendances of any Demon. If the coaches thought JJ was stinking it up that wouldn’t have happened.



Melk was very, very close to kicking thee to five goals. A couple of near misses, a couple of big marks he just didn’t complete. Goodwin loves him, no Fritsch, Melk will stay in. JvR didn’t do a great deal in the VFL either.

If they’re not happy with Brown then Schache might get a run but that would surprise me.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I'm with old mate, play Will Ferrell.

This does not excite me.
