Preview Round 8 - Changes/Preview v St Kilda

[Dory_77]

Lol, can do the reverse of the 2012/13 changes:
Out: Casey
In: Melbourne.

The replacements were solid but Petty, Sparrow, Jacko, Kozzy and ANB are pretty much locks to come back. JSmith, Melk, TMc/Weid, Bedford, Dunstan to be the likeliest outs.

Hopefully COVID pisses off, but I'd expect someone else to miss or a random injury to come up.

 

[LeverPuller]

Beyond the COVID potential ins and outs Smith on crutches ain’t great. So at a minimum either Petty assuming he has recovered or Tommo.

 

[Scythe]

No idea who will be available. If they're all miraculously fine and no one else gets it (snowflake's chance in hell):

Out: Dunstan, Melksham, Weideman, Smith, Bedford (very unlucky, goes to sub)
In: Jackson, ANB, Sparrow, Kozzy, Petty

I'd like Bedford to get another go, but doubt they'll drop Spargo. Wouldn't mind seeing Pig in for Rivers either, but that's already plenty of changes.

Rivers is walking on very thin ice, luckily everyone keeps falling down around him in the back 6.

Weid stays over TMac for me, unfair to boot him when he won the spot and had to perform ruck duties without Jacko today.

 

[schmuttt]

Not going to speculate on changes for a few days until we have a better idea of where everyone is at with COVID. Due to vic isolation rules you have to quarantine for 7 days if you get an official positive test, so any positive tests this week will miss the Saints game.

You know I'd like nothing more than to drop McDonald, but Weid and Brown still play a bit too similarly. McDonald's versatility probably keeps him in the team

TMac's versatility? Weid played in the ruck today, id think that makes him just as versatile.

 

[RandB]

How far off is Salem?

He's not gonna ruck when Dogga is back though. McDonald can roam up the ground more and play back if needed, also a bit better at ground level.

(This is not a Tom McDonald endorsement)

 

[Scythe]

How far off is Salem?

Another 3-4, then will probably need a couple of Casey games

We miss Salem a lot.

 

[The Dr]

I thought Bedford showed plenty today. I’d keep him in for a few weeks regardless of who returns.

So who goes out for Kozzy? Spargo?

 

[pjfairbairn]

In: Koz, Jacko, Nibbler, Petty, Sparrow
Out: Smith (Inj), Melky, Dunstan, Spargo, Rivers

TMac & Bedford did enough to hold their spots. I feel like I'm shooting Bambi with Spargo - maybe Nibbler doesn't come straight back - but Bedford's gotta have another week.

 

[Franky_024]

Weid and Brown over Tmac and Brown.

Still surprises me how many frees Brown gets. Even when he’s got less than 10% of clutching a mark, they still grab his arm

Melk or Dunstan

is the antitheses of our selfless, team-first ethos.
I don't care if the rest of our list has COVID, he can **** off until he learns not be selfish.

 

[Daemon]

I can see the Saints trying to be really physical with us. I hope we belt the crap out of them.

Tmac owes Harmes like 5 slabs for stealing the best goal Harmes has ever kicked.

Made all the worse by how good of a goal it would have been if he didn't steal it. Harmes with the don't argue and off outside of the boot

INS: IMO its more about the outs.

..... GoodWin.

I forgot my boy, Sparrow.

 

[The Dr]

Maybe Smith or Rivers drop out of defence and we reshuffle a bit. I’m not sure.

I see what you’re saying - it’s a tough 22 to crack onto when most of the team is fit. I just think Bedford has been banging the door down for selection and finally got a full game, played super impressively and deserves a good run at it.
