ye-heah......

 

[BJuddy]

Think Plow needs to put on notice, albeit he shouldn’t miss.

Was atrocious for much of the game, save a few good efforts towards the end of the last JLT game.

Like the Plow But yes.

Blues by 19.

B: Garlett, Jones, Plow
HB: Newman, Weits, Simmo
C: Walsh, Cripps, Murph
HF: Cuningham, Charlie, Fas
FF: Fisher, Harry, MCGov
R: Phillips, Dow, Ed

Int: Thomas, JSos, Setters, Samo

E: TDK, Casboult, LOB, Gibbons

Don’t get criticism of Garlett. Been as good as any of the young players and improving each week. People just seem to have targets

Agree and we desperately need small defenders. The only concern would be him getting dragged to the goal square.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Bit left field but I'd consider putting Plowman on Martin. Follow him everywhere like Tuohy used to. Gets another mature body around the ball and will hopefully cut out their best player. Relieves him from defence. Every time I see Plowman further up the ground he looks better to me

Caddy, Lynch & Jack are the tall match ups.

Jack - JW
Lynch - Jones
Caddy - Plowman.

Nankervis has spent a ton of time forward in JLT also.

 

[Soapy V]

Practice game this weekend could determine one or two positions

 

[Soapy V]

Caddy, Lynch & Jack are the tall match ups.

Jack - JW
Lynch - Jones
Caddy - Plowman.

Nankervis has spent a ton of time forward in JLT also.

Newman could take Caddy. Jack an option

 

[Soapy V]

Gibbons best on ground for pressure.

I really like Gibbons. Like Polson I’m not sure he’s playing a position he is used to

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Newman could take Caddy. Jack an option

Certainly opened up for Jack to be the 3rd tall defender.

Not the first time mentioned.

Plowman.....dunno where he’s at if he misses.

 

[TooBlue14]

Newman could take Caddy. Jack an option

I thought caddy wasn’t playing.

 

[COBALT BLUE]

It has been difficult to quantify the CFC team for a while....

However..they have been well trained this year,and the list is improving especially the past 3 months..

Should get within 4 goals of Tigers...

Marchbank is a required player for us to return from injury...and if Lang can get well and somehow improve because he is also good.

Kreuz should/will ruck...

Gibbons gets a run to see what he can do,and a tossup between Fas and Mc Govern ?

 

[Juddrockz]

Newman could take Caddy. Jack an option

Not sure Caddy will play round 1,been injured?

 

[TeeJay Blue]

I'm relieved that you said the preview is still incomplete.

I was concerned it was too brief






Ps - amazing effort

Have to make up for my poor effort last year.

 

[Metalcrusher]

Josh Caddy Ankle 4-8 weeks Jason Castagna Ankle 1-3 weeks Ryan Garthwaite Achilles 1-3 weeks Shaun Grigg Knee 4-8 weeks Tom Lynch PCL 2-5 weeks Jacob Townsend Thigh 1-3 weeks

As of 5th March.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Looks like it will be someth8ng like:

Newman Jones Plowman
Thomas Weitering Garlett
Petrovski-Seton Cripps Simpson
Dow CCurnow Cuningham
McGovern McKay Polson
Phillips Murphy Fisher
Walsh Settlefield Gibbons ECurnow

I’d bring in JSilvagni for McGovern - but Bolton won’t.

 

[HBF]

Josh Caddy Ankle 4-8 weeks Jason Castagna Ankle 1-3 weeks Ryan Garthwaite Achilles 1-3 weeks Shaun Grigg Knee 4-8 weeks Tom Lynch PCL 2-5 weeks Jacob Townsend Thigh 1-3 weeks

As of 5th March.

Beat me to it.
No Caddy and probably no Lynch.
Even Grigg missing hurts them a little as he is their second "ruck".
Don't think we win, but i think we can push them all the way.

Don’t get criticism of Garlett. Been as good as any of the young players and improving each week. People just seem to have targets

Still a pup to isn't he ?

 

[JustaBattler]

Would love to see Simpson on a wing - he looked so good with ball in hand and in some space - his kicking from a running wing position is a real weapon.

FFS I think I'll take the bye now … show off

NavyBlueTJ35

The way I see it, the bye thread is the hardest act to follow...

 

[Metalcrusher]

Well fine … * it … you take it ROFL! Cunny man I'll take Brisvegas

 

[Arr0w]

I think we will see a different McGovern come round one

Also get the feeling, coaching staff have some surprises installed

Stay tuned...

 

[SammaGilberto]

Still a pup to isn't he ?

Only 22, I believe the GC experience he had up there really knocked his confidence and only now he is starting to regain some, hoping he strings along a decent amount of consecutive games in the same posistion to solidify his spot and become the player GC thought he would be when they picked him up @ pick 15.

 

[Mondyboy]

Don’t get criticism of Garlett. Been as good as any of the young players and improving each week. People just seem to have targets

Garlett was very good today. Got caught out in the first quarter pushing too far up and there was a moment, I think in the third, when he didn’t body the ball, but I thought he marked and kicked and positioned well.

[Arr0w]

I thought Garlett was good, had a couple of bad moments (trying to toe the ball, rather than body lining it), but has looked better each week

Not ideal at HB, but we are thin given the injury to defenders

 

[Soapy V]

Garlett was very good today. Got caught out in the first quarter pushing too far up]

I reckon he was doing the right thing. They are taught to guard space and press up. Issue is got caught out on turnover by mistake up the field. Don’t think it was his fault at all

 

[Jeremias]

Can't wait for this one.

Would be taking this lineup into round one -

B: Plowman - Jones - Simpson
HB: Thomas - Weitering - Newman
C: Murphy - Setterfield - Walsh
HF: McGovern - C Curnow - Fisher
F: E Curnow - McKay - Polson
R: Phillips - Cripps - SPS
Int: Dow - Cuningham - Fasolo - Garlett

Tigers obviously far more advanced than we are, but am very keen to see how the kids perform on a big stage.

Can't see us coming away with the 4 points but think we're better placed than we were last year, and should put in a competitive showing.
