Autopsy Roast & Toast R5 vs West Coast & Changes for The Bye

[TiggerMan22]

Deal was done before that so it’s irrelevant.

This isn't about Hardwick in anyway. I'm asking you personally.

Do we risk Hopper and Grimes for the Dees?

backline needs a general and we need a bb mid

Did he actually have an injury to his knee or was it just a clean out?

If was just a clean out and he gets through training may as well play him

we dont mind sending campaigners on with acl injuries so I cant see us holding them back.

Yes. It started locking up, swelling etc. And yes, they just did the minor keyhole surgery to clear it out.

No need to risk anyone. Though I do get the feeling the timeline for Hopper's return has been suddenly accelerated after Taranto and Ross went down.

 

[shaky]

A downhill skier isn't a player is one that performs when the game is easy and doesn't when it's not. E.g kicking a bag in thumpings and not touching the ball in close ones. That isn't Bolton.

He's also not just doing the easy work. You act like he sits in the goal square and collects the easy goals when really he is creating them as much as any ayer on our list. He creates goals at times when it doesn't even look like we'll get a good shot through his skill.

And 'waiting for our midfield ' to win the ball...what an odd way to describe a forward. That's literally his role the team asks him to play.

Yes you are right about everything, I have no idea and Bolton is the second coming and the answer to all our problems.

only if they're 100%, but they won't really add much IMHO.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

We're not going to beat Melbourne anyway, I'd leave Hopper and Grimes out.

 

[Grrr]

He's had 4, which is pretty quick really.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

We aren't winning without Balta and Lynch
Lever and may will have a field day
Every week will be a loss untill atleast one of them return we simply don't have enough fire power up forward

 

[Grrr]

Finally got around to watching the VFL, wasn't much of a game but it did open up who may come in out.
It was a horrid game, especially playing forward, besides Ryan who got his goals mainly because he was a good foot taller than their biggest back. But 4 goals is 4 goals and brings himself into contention. (May and Lever will have picnic on him).

Smith doesn't put a foot wrong. Big and accurate kick, never seems hurried mainly due to great acceleration, in for Short.

Only other consideration is Cumberland. Did not really put a foot wrong other than missed a few goals that he might have kicked. Normal. Giving him a go in the guts was just the thing and he worked in and around the pack. Did not get a lot of it, but added good pressure and when it was his time to go he went hard. He worked up and down the ground really well, offensively and defensively, and did not drop his head once, maybe in the last 5 minutes when the game was gone.

We will need to keep the ball on the ground against Melbourne, so why not bring him in as he adds vibrancy around the pack. He could have kicked 2-3 goals with some luck. The VFL have a bye, of course, so are we going to wait another 2 weeks. Nothing to lose.

Kick it to space and kick it along the ground.

If we just bomb it long to Heaver and Slay then we deserve to loose. You'd think Yze knows this intimately having come from the Ds. We can either play a second ruck/forward deep to make them accountable or stay small and go inside 50 with plenty of dirty ball.

Both Lefau and Kozi are much better as lead up forwards so we have to go in short, not just blaze away if we are any chance.

I just thought about this
But In the spirit of the ANZACS I hope Lefau buries Lever

Happy for him to miss a couple games suspended if he puts Lever into the 5th row of punt road end

 

[Noidnadroj]

Which young player with a future will they drop for Grimes who will retire at year's end?

I hope Yze has the steel in him to keep Young, Miller and Brown in and not panic and drop them for Grimes' experience.

Yes they were s**t on the weekend but Grimes has been below average all season prior to his injury.

It’s as plain as day. Grimes into the backline, Short onto the wing, Macca to the VFL. Short has been poo this year, and Macca has been diabolical.

This helps stiffen up our defence as Grimes is an old head and can take a small/medium. It frees up Short and it gets rid of Macca.

The answer’s simple: We nned to drop Bolton and Lefau because they kicked six of the eight goals in question!
