[The Nostradamus]

Outside of Tyson (who was our best), the next best in the VFL would’ve been Xerri, Garner and McGuinness.

Out: Hall (inj) Lazz (rest), Campbell (omitted) Mahony (omitted) & Scott (omitted)

In: LDU, Zurhaar, Xerri, Garner, McGuiness

B: Atley, McKay, Bonar
HB: Ziebell, Walker, Bosenavulagi
C: Stephenson, Cunnington, Powell
HF: McGuiness, Larkey, Thomas
F: Garner, Xerri, Zurhaar
Foll: Goldy, LDU, Simpkin
Int: Phillips, Turner, Young, Hayden
Sub: Taylor

Like this team a lot

 

[Heaps of fun]

It'll be three changes at most. Probably LDU, Zurhaar and Garner in for Hall, Lazzaro and Mahony.

Is Pat Walker injured at the moment?

Is a witnessing our first win for the year worth travelling from Sydney to Perth for?

 

[big_e]

Yep, I’d be pretty similar to this. Scott on thin ice, maybe injuries/lack of options to replace him might save him.

FWIW - Bailey Scott averages 21 disposals and two goals per game at Optus....

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Shocked they gave us the big ANZAC Day Eve slot

In which of those games do you realistically see a winning score being kicked from our side?

The tassie games represent our best opportunities.

Half the team have never played there

Half the team have never played there

I know, but in at least one of them you would think the conditions will be so atrocious it will make it a genuine coin flip. Our standard 7 goals may be enough.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Playing Spicer as sub is silly on many levels.

 

[Cool Kangas]

Out: Hall
In: ????

Optimism at its absolute best

playing Spicer AT ALL is silly on so many levels. The kid just isn’t ready

 

[B4Bear]

Would not be surprised if we pinched this.

 

[the flying ham]

Garner Zurhaar and Taylor in for Hall, Lazzaro and one of Scott/Phillips/Mahony.

Xerri a chance for Campbell.

 

[Usayed Givashe]

LOL. Presume this post was supposed to be funny?

most posters are naming 4 outs.
I think 7, what’s the issue?
In fact all 7 of my ‘in’s’ appear in a selection of posts from respected posters.

I think I’m on the money as per usual.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

Xerri will be close to a call up which will mean either Campbell goes back or a midget is the ruck in the VFL.

Campbell was OK. Improved on his first week but Xerri took a few grabs in the Twos. Harsh to drop Campbell but its up to the coaches to make the correct decisions in these lineball cases.

 

[The Anvil]

Mightn’t be a fair sample size. Watching Spicer and Ford there today. They seemed a long way off it at VFL level. They need full support. No need to rush them into the AFL.

I can’t see why people are desperate for Spicer in the side, he was terrible in the VFL. Probably not a player on the list further back than him.

Xerri will be close to coming in.

If I thought the mids could handle it I'd play them both and ruck a midget in the VFL.

Out: Hall, Lazzaro (if still sore), Campbell (although he wasn't so bad)

In: LDU, Garner, Xerri

Zurhaar can earn a recall via the 2s.

Xerri was that bad that he was dropped before being selected.

Next 2 games we have no chance (Freo in Perth and Dees) but surely we win one in the stretch after that:

• Pies at Marvel
• Hawks in Launceston
• * at Marvel
• Saints at Marvel
• Giants in Hobart
• Lions at Marvel
• Suns in Hobart

Wouldn't put money on it!!

If we only regain players currently lost to injury without more being added to the list I think we will go undefeated in Tasmania

 

[gokangas]

Given injuries and players that need to be managed there could be plenty of changes. But who is ready and knocking on the door for a place? There are players holding their spot right now because there are no alternatives. Lets hope they can improve through the game time.

Ill be there after a big day punting and pints at the races, so odds on chance the Freo flogs will cop it - win, lose or draw..
