Revised NAB Cup line-up RD1

[Riggy1]

Autopsy

 

[CroCop]

HERE IS THE TEAM THAT I WOULD PLAY:

B: JOHNCOCK RUTTEN MCLEOD
HB: KITE BOCK DANGERFIELD
C: MACKAY THOMPSON REILLY
HF: PORPLZIA GILL DOUGLAS
FF: HENSCHELL WALKER EDWARDS
R: GRIFFIN VINCE KNIGHTS
INT: GOODWIN, VAN BERLO , MARIC , and any of STEVENS, DOUGHTY, TIPPETT, MARTIN (love the way he plays),PETRENKO DEPENDING ON WHOM WE PLAY

IMAGINE THE RUN WE WOULD GET FROM OUR HALF BACK LINE AND BACK LINE . THEY WOULD BREAK THROUGH CENTRE SO MANY TIMES

Interesting the Bombers played their Irish recruit last night, I think he had about 5 possies in the last quarter. Looked like he only made 1 mistake when he took on 1 too many players.

It was only his second ever footy match (first being an interclub last week).

Any chance of the Crows doing something like this with Donnely? I would thing it would give him a major lift in confidence and hopefully hunger to succeed.

If not, it is interesting to see the different approaches to the development of these guys and will be more interesting to see the eventual result of this development.

Let's play a guessing game folks, who can name a surgical procedure that has a 100% success rate?

Post Mortems?

No chance really, will probably be brought in through the SANFL Reserves.

I did see that Skipworth had a decent game though, 2 goals and 15 possessions.

Ankles are the impact injuries in basketball, knees are twists and cartledge tears.

In footy knees will get the impact injuries (like Sarges in perth)

The surface in footy can help with it's softness, but because you wear stops, your leg can get stuck in a possition and when your bodys slung your knee will go.

I'm sure macca will be fine, it's just this surgury doesn't have a 100% success rate in basketball.

Yeah but I'm talking in terms of long term chronic overuse/stress injuries such as Macca has problems with, there has never been one isolated/acute incident. Running on grass will provide much less stress on the knee joints (in Macca's case) than running on that hard unforgiving surface that they play on in Basketball.

Everyone seems to be worried about him "doing a Knee" in a game, he's got as much chance of doing this as anyone else, this has never been his problem.

 

[macca23]

Only a week to go so I might as well have a crack at it.

IMO Craig will want to play his strongest side to try his revised game plan while playing last year's grand Final favourite.

B: Stevens Rutten Johncock

HB: Goodwin Rutten McLeod

C: Mackay Thompson Knights

HF: Porplyzia Gill Douglas

F: Edwards Tippett Walker

R: Maric Reilly van Berlo

I: Griffin, Hentschel, Kite, Doughty, Shirley, Vince, Dangerfield.

Couldn't find a spot for Moran in the 25, unless Kite doesn't get a start.

Those that are next in line IMO if any my 25 are not fit to play are, in alphabetical order :

Armstrong, Cook, Jacky, Martin, Moran, Otten and Sellar,

question

do you expect Dougie and Proplyzia to be fit and available for selection?

question

Good question and one that I hadn't really taken into account, given that they haven't been training with the main group.

If anyone of the 2 were to play it would be Douglas. Porps is less likely to play given his shoulder surgery.

If these 2 don't play, the likely ins for them would come from Armstrong, Cook, Jacky, Martin and Otten.

Could be any of them but possibly Cook and Armstrong given their Darwin form, with Jacky also a good chance.

EDIT: I keep forgetting Petrenko who would probably be the first one to get a game if either of Porps and Douglas don't play.

 

[RooDog]

Porplyzia wont play in any NAB games, he will be struggling to be fit for round 1.

Thanks Macca

My thoughts, even if Douglas joins the main group next week I would like to see Richie get couple weeks of competitve training under his belt before he plays in the NAB

I am keen to see Jacky get some NAB game time, we need to see what he can bring to the Forward line mix along with Walker, Tippett, Gill and Hentchel.

Cook, in my eyes could be another D-Mac success story, even though the young lad did not get to many touches in Darwin, I thought couple of his efforts to chase down was fantastic

I would like to see Goody, Macca, Goughty and Shirley rested for rnd 1 of the NAB cup and give a opportunity to Kite, Cook, Jacky, Otten and Armstrong

Excellent points on both Jacky and Cook.

I still think Craig will want to go with his strongest team against Geelong, and if we lose then more of the young guys will get a run.

We can't afford to get bathed after our poor showing against the Indigenous All-Stars from a confidence point of view and a want to try his new game plan out.

Back on topic, my thoughts for the team next weekend:

B: Johncock Rutten Moran
HB: Mcleod Bock Doughty
C: Mackay Thompson Reilly
HF: Gill Stevens Goodwin
FF: Douglas Tippet Edwards
R: Maric van Berlo Vince
I: Griffin, Knights, Walker, Dangerfield, Shirley, Otten & the 2 subs: Petrenko and Sellar (I think thats how they're doing it in the MMC)

Tough one, we've got a lot more youngsters "around the mark" for games this year and its really tough to squeeze them all in as you want to see blokes like Kite, Cook, Armstrong, Jacky, Mckernan, Hentschel etc. get games, but there's just not enough spots on the field, at least it will keep the competition for spots fierce.

Out: Douglas (inj)
In: Jacky

And if VB pulls out (foot) then I would give Cook a go as well, with Knights moving into the midfield.

At this stage also looks likely that Hentschel might get a run, if he does it'd be Sellar who loses his place.

I agree with this team but disagree with the subs selection. At this stage of the season i would be looking at only giving 1 senior guys half a game (Goodwin, Edwards, McLeod) and the other sub would be Hentschel or Reilly to ease them back into it.

Have Goodwin play the first half, Edwards the second with Hentschel and Reilly doing the same.

 

[WALL-e]

in an article is said mcleod and edwards will be the subs.

Tall team, with all 4 of our ruckmen selected (granted Tippett is set to play FF and Moran is a sub). That said, I think you're fairly close to the money. The only doubt would be over VB - think I read today that he's got a foot injury at the moment?

Interested to see that you rate Jacky ahead of Petrenko.

Who would you see coming in if VB is unavailable through injury?

I can see why you'd think that. However, I agree with Macca's original premise - the club have something to prove after the IAS debacle and will want to play the strongest possible combination. "Strongest possible combination" does not include swapping our veterans at half time.

I can understand why you'd only want to give Hentschel half a game, but why Reilly? Radar hasn't got any fitness/injury issues that I'm aware of which might restrict his match fitness. He wasn't selected at the end of 2008, but that was because of poor form - he was available then and hasn't missed a beat during the pre-season.

Got the article, for those of us stuck with only the online version of the Ragvertiser?

Depended on role they have VB marked for? If it's still the run with role, why not give Rory Sloan the oppertunity to play. If it's an attacking one, Cook or Petrenko maybe.

I know Rutten is a good footballer, but that good?

Apart from changing Bock for Rutten at CHB, which I know you meant, this is a likely side in my estimation. I too think Craig will be looking for a strong showing after the all-stars debacle.

haha yeh,

Sorry, only just realised that was a question not a statement.

Star veterans Simon Goodwin, Andrew McLeod and Tyson Edwards are expected to play, with two of them likely to be used as substitutes. Under new NAB Cup rules, two substitutes will be added to the six interchange players.
