Preview Round 22 Changes vs. Melbourne

[Borderline]

So do we want to fight for first and try and beat Port in Rd 23, risking being tired for the first final, or just concede it and accept we'll come 2nd?

 

[Scham]

Well if RTB wants to play the young guys just one more time (Weller, Blakely, Langdon, etc), this is the perfect game to do so. I don't know how we'll go against Port, so this is a must-win, but I think we can win this game comfortably at home. Should rest Sandi. Gawn is a good ruckman, but I think Griffin can handle him, especially with Z Clarke, Dawson, or Taberner to pinch ruck.

IN: Pavlich, Blakely, C Pearce, Taberner/Z Clarke
OUT: Mzungu (form), A Pearce (rest), De Boer (form), Sandilands (rest)

I doubt Blakely will be ok to play and there's something up with Weller too.

 

[FreoRicci]

Out: Mzungu, Barlow
In: Pavlich, Weller

You're joking? Barlow was our best today. No idea why he keeps playing that high forward role! Just chuck him in the midfield ahead of Mzungu ffs!
Out: A. Pearce (it's time, he's done for the season- first year), Mzungu, De Boer
In: Pav (if fit), Weller (if fit), Clancee Pearce and Taberner (just PLAY him ffs!, offers more up forward then Pearce)

Oh, are they injured? I must've missed that. What about Langdon or Grey? Maybe Duffield can squeeze in too.

 

[clivenator26]

Tendai has to go, he is a shell of a player. Barlow, DPearce, Crozier & Dawson weren't great and let us down at crucial times.

Clancee, Weller & Langdon in for Tendai, Mundy (rest) & DPearce. I think the other guys we have to stick with at this stage of the year.

Why rest anyone? we are far from a premiership side right now

 

[electricfeel]

Mzungu was WOG today. So he needed to be dropped.

Clarke stretchered off with concussion for peel, no chance he will play this week...hannath if your going to rest sandi, I'd rather rest him against portport

 

[YelloMit]

Because they deserve a rest? Especially against Melbourne in Perth.

Sandi, being such a big guy, can only endure so much before his motor runs out.

 

[bone2468]

Out: Dawson,Mzungu,De Boer,Suban
In: Pavlich, Smith, C.Pearce, Langdon/Duffield

 

[beetz]

plenty of others but out: de Boer. Seriously, he is no good starting and no good as sub.

have you been following Peel at all?

 

[hoss]

Barlow in our best today. Not getting dropped.

 

[Kram]

 

[YelloMit]

have you been following Peel at all?

No. Hard to keep track here in Canberra.

 

[BusinessMan]

I thought Suban was good, Barlow was okay. Mzungu is delist material I think. I think the focus should now go on beating Melbourne and then bulk resting players in round 23. Either way we're going to have to play Hawthorn at some stage during the finals, lets do it at home in a non-sudden death final.

No. Hard to keep track here in Canberra.

Clarke got carried off having a seizure yesterday

GOALS: 3 G.Ugle, 2 J.Hannath, J.Ballard, 1 P.Duffield, M.Taberner, C.Moller, E.Hughes, M.Duffy, L.Jetta, B.Jones BEST: J.Ballard, G.Ugle, E.Hughes, B.Jones, P.Duffield

Wow, fair enough.

 

[FreoGirl]

Wow, fair enough.

sounded horrible - Duffield had to put him on his side etc

 

[hoss]

Take anything Brades says with a pinch of salt. He wouldn't have Dangerfield or Robbie Gray in our best 22 either.

 

[Scham]

D Pearce will not get dropped. He's been shit since round 8 and still gets a game. In a team that lacks outside run and pace, Ross won't leave him out.

Might've been different if Weller, Grey and Langdon had've been given more opportunities but until they're ready Danyle will stay.

You would have to have posted this every changes thread for the last month. We get it mate.

Beat Melbourne next week to guarantee a home final,then rest who ever needs a rest in rnd 23.

we all know he's joking

 

[Demons09]

I'll concede that Mzungo may be drooped but deep down everyone knows there wont be many changes unless forced through injuries.
