Yes someone def needs to!Anyone want to whip up a preview for the swans game?
When has Caracella ever been a senior coach?Rather than pick on some very ordinary tiger players despite winning, you have to ask is the Melbourne coach safe.
Seems to me they could take a leaf out of the Caracella book and just play blokes in their best positions and just allow em to take the game on.
Fmd there just doesnt seem to be any sense to the way they play and where they play a lot their players.They also imo lack midfield depth which is criminal after all the early picks they have had.
The one i could never understand was Tom McDonald he looked the next big thing when it came to key defenders yet they moved him fwd got rid of Dunn, Frost, and Howe only to trade away big picks to get Lever and May. They also traded out Hogan a bloke who was kicking at least 2 goals a game for them from the get go only to never seek a replacement.
They have tomlinson who is an endurance machine and should be playing in a hit up role like JR they have two promising kp players not getting a game and blokes like Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney who have obvious talent all going backwards.I dunno it just doesnt seem right they have obvious talent but they are going nowhere.
There was at least 10 players against us and you would scratch your head and wonder why they are getting a game.But its not all down to the players they just seem to lack in lots of things that come back to the coaches.
jwho else reckons we will loose to swans ? just too many outs
Think I'll fly up for the game...So how many Queensland tigers getting to the game this week!?!?
Our guys will fire right up for that I reckon
Think I'll fly up for the game...
Whose that?
Feel like this will be our best line up.next week
B Broad Grimes vlastuin
Hb short balta baker
C McIntosh J Graham J Caddy
HF J higgins j riewoldt K lambert
F rioli ccj/lynch aarts
R soldo Martin pickett
Int naish/ross chol bolton george
The naish/ross depends who they want to replace houli at hbf so we can play a loose in defence
Totally agree with you on this lineup. But maybe give Lynch 1 weeks rest to get his hand right and play CCJ at full forward. As everyones being mentioning here the Swans are very light on rucks and big men in general so having 2 mobile big men in Chol and CCJ and then Soldo to take most of centre square ruck duties might just overwhelm the Swans. Thought JR8 was looking more mobile against the Dees so hopefully he might get off the chain and do so damage. Stay safe out there everyone. Here comes lockdown version 2.Feel like this will be our best line up.next week

Reckon Lynch will have to sit this one out.
Sounds like Dow and Ross could potentially miss based on their write-ups.
Out: Cotchin, Nankervis, Prestia, Edwards, Houli, Lynch
And their replacements respectively;
In: Graham, Soldo, Pickett, Bolton, Stack, CCJ
Broad Grimes Vlastuin

That’s a lot of injuries but only 1 decent player there.Swans debuting 2 new players in Dylan Stephens and Chad Warner.
Regarding their rucks:
Amartey joins rucks Sam Naismith (knee), Callum Sinclair (knee) and Michael Knoll (knee) on the sidelines.
The lack of experienced ruckmen available in the red and white saw West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui score a perfect 10 against the Swans in the AFL Coaches Association's AFL Champion Player Award, with 197cm Hayden McLean left to battle the star Eagle by himself.
Lance Franklin (hamstring) and Sam Reid (calf) have already been ruled out and Tom McCartin (concussion) will miss another match too.
Yikes.
I hope our whole list is flying out of Melbourne. And a question: can players,who are returning from injury, or new dads join the hub in 2 or 3 weeks time?
That's probably why Dave is already there, even though he won't play at least the next 4 weeks.They can but that will put the team back in quarantine, so unfortunately Edwards and Houli will not be going at all to QLD.
Good time to get the swans without Buddy and their 2 best rucks available. Reid is the kind of player that comes in and will play a blinder against us.That’s a lot of injuries but only 1 decent player there.
Might be a bit early... and don't call me Shirley.Shirley Ralph Smith gets a run this week ?
