Opinion Round 3 Changes vs. West Coast

[Mr Fonebone]

I am worried for Nat Fyfe. According to the Sunday Times the Eagles' grim assassin -Gaff - has him lined up for next week after doing a number on Judd.

He will need protection from his team mates.

Wasn't going to say this as my predicted changes but what about Apeness as second ruck? Was in the ruck a few weeks ago for Peel and offers more up forward than the other options. (Last time Hannath didn't play WAFL)

 

[Spoken4]

Hard to take anyone out. When is Dawson back? We looked a key short with Johnson playing on Hawkins (was out bodied a lot)

Ballantyne should be safe under this new MRP. May get a fine, but he hit the shoulder first and didn't jump for it.

Looks like he left the ground in the footage I saw. Not a great distance though as he is a midget.

Yep saw that - I think it was Rosa? Anyway comedy in the morning always sets the day up well

Sorry - I stand corrected - Rosa it was

I'd like to see Crozier come in. A lot will depend on what happens with Balla and Clarke.
Even if there are no forced changes I think Crozier should come in for Suban. He (Suban) wasn't bad but he just doesn't offer enough, makes stupid decisions and goes to water in front of goal. Crozier is far more likely to contribute offensively.

I'm sure Fyfe is quaking in his boots.

If Clarke is out they could do worse than giving Hannath a go.

I thought suban was quite poor. Especially that beautiful kick straight across the ground to a free geelong foward in our defence. Lovely.

That was Spurr. Suban was trying to get on the end of it.

Griffin?

 

[freoextra]

I see everyone has picked up that Hannath has had a good preseason and taken that into the season.

I was also interested that no one was putting big Griff into the team. From watching the sat game it was still Big Griff as the better ruckman but Hannath was far better around the ground and light years ahead in the forward line. I would say he is also ahead of Apeness as a forward line threat at the moment.

On the basis that Sandi will ruck 90% of the game I would pick Hannath. If you needed someone to ruck 70% of the game I would have gone with Big Griff.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

In Crozier (If Ballas is suspended), Hannath (If Clarke is injured)
otherwise no changes. Want a settled lineup.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Bringeth thy Hannath

 

[clogged]

In: Hannath, Crozier, Mzungu
Out: Clarke, Ballantyne, de Boer

All depend on certain circumstances though.

Way too many changes. If Clarke is injured and Ballantyne is suspended, the rest of the team stays as is.

 

[Kram]

Griffin?

I think Jack is a better replacement for Clarke. If it was Sandi out as the main ruck I'd say Griff.

Not worth risking the stability against WCE in order to get a better set up for Sydney?

 

[Agenfrida]

These threads just aren't the same anymore without Bushie.

Correction, the threads just aren't the same without Bushie and Pokers Piv going head to head.

Yeah and Reg hasn't been too vocal either.

Too much love?

I'd forgotten about Reg. Has he left BF or is he just on a sabbatical?

Nah he's here. Saw a couple liked posts here and there. Like the Cats midfield, he just like to watch

LOL brilliant.

Only necessary changes this week:

In Crozier, Hannath
Out Ballas, Clarke

If Balla get's off (continue reading once you stop laughing), I reckon MDB will make way. Two weeks in a row with less than a quarter of footy played. He'll need to get a full game under his belt or he'll start to lose conditioning. I know he's probably doing a circuit and some sprints as we speak, but it's just not the same.

Hopfully, it's Out MDB, Clarke (assuming he's hurt of course)
In: Croz, Hannath or Griff.

I thought Johnson was incredible. Outplayed a much bigger opponent and made him spit the dummy like a little girl!
