Preview Round 7 v Melbourne ANZAC Eve MCG 7.30pm - Gray Debuts

[RobsJourney]

OUT: Balta (curfew)

 

[Rubber Hips]

I’d play Balta v Dees

Sub him off at 3/4 time…or

get him an apartment next to the ground and make sure he is tucked in bed by 10pm

 

[RobsJourney]

In all seriousness, that's a good result for Balta, and I hope everyone can move on.

The boys are going to have an absolute field day giving him crap when he has to be home before 10.

 

[Lsta062]

Balta

Community corrections order - $3000 fine
Curfew until 22/7 10pm-6am must be home.


Can’t play night games

Dreamtime. Anzac eve.

He’s locked in to miss at least 3 games (if not subbed out against Melbourne) according to the fixture (up until 22/7)

• Round 7 vs Melbourne (night game)
• Round 12 against GWS (interstate)
• Round 18 against Essendon (night game)
• Round 19 against West Coast (interstate).

Hopefully we don’t get too many night games from what is not fixtured yet

Out- balta- Ryan-
In - blight- mansell

 

[PetterdHoisted]

What if MCG is our home? Does that count?

get him a bunk bed at the PRE

imagine jacinta if we did this ?

 

[RobsJourney]

I'd hope we don't just go back to Blight.

I'd say...

OUT: Balta (curfew), Ryan (injured)
IN: Trainor, Sims, McAuliffe

And play Ross as Sub.

Small conundrum with Mansell being available. I'd play him in the twos personally, Campbell and Rioli have done enough to be ahead of him and I feel Green had enough good moments to keep his spot.

EDIT: Sonsie also deserves a recall, but for the love of goodness it has to be as a midfielder. Perhaps Ross sub and Sonsie into the starting midfield, and McAuliffe another VFL game.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

In: Blight Mansell
Out: Balta Ryan

Actually, need to drop a third

Ryan gotta stay so blight isn’t playing ruck and the defence remains settled

Ryan is injured.

How far away is OHB from a call up? have not watched many vfl games this year

finally this week?

I know Gawn was last week but Nankervis has had a better season.
I feel like Nank run him into the ground be physical and get him this week.

Doesn’t work like that lol, Curfew is to your listed current residential address as per what’s listed on file not a made up one purely for this.

Dreamtime too

Even if you could rent and live a house in Richmond don't think the night games are finished before 10pm. Games generally go for about 3 hours, don't they?

 

[Karp3_dm]

nothing more sure we are gonna have record number of night games in our fixture next year

 

[UncleBob]

Tough gig on match committee this week.
Obviously Ryan will be out, does Blight come back in?
Mansell would have to slot back in also. Probably Green will be the one to make way.

Would love for us to show up again this week. Hopper and TT will be needed to lead the way.
From memory, Hop was having a blinder against the dees last year before getting injured.

 

[fargothegreat]

One thing to note was that even though Blight was dropped last week, Gray was the emergency — not him.

 

[kozi]

Dees will be up for this one. Think we only win by 20-30

his game wasn't great Blight. Gray in for his debut been in form.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Love the spectacle of the night. I think the way the stand flicker to life with thousands of lights while the lone horseman rides through the darkness holding aloft the torch to light the cauldron, is incredibly moving. In fact, I feel its a more moving tribute than the over hyped product they roll out during ANZAC DAY Proper. Better mix of supporters too.

And the sniper up in the darkened stand pings the horseman's torch out of his hand!...hello darkness my old friend...

 

[Del65166]

Balta OUT.....I've been impressed with PHIL INN.

Staggered that he hasn't played yet. Must play

 

[Coach_Required]

Doubt there will be many changes apart from Ryan (injured) & Balta (curfew)

Blight will come in as he will be used to cover both outs, that opens the door for McAuliffe for that 2nd spot, hopefully it's not sub.

 

[RichoLedio]

Was there a cryptic message on insta yesterday?

The caption was "all smiles" with a pic of Hopper hugging Smillie......
