So it’s basically Hill, the VFL forward line and cameos from Cox.
No problem.

No thanks. I prefer some x factor and Kreuger has a chance of producing something that the other two don't. A tall needs to come in, which eliminates Richards, unless the cupboard is so bare that there is also room for him. We know all too well what Dean's capabilities are and Howe is not going to put the fear of anything into his opponent up forward.Cross out Kreuger. Include Dean and Richards.
I suppose an uncanny ability to hit the turf and break something is X factor. Not sure how it would be helpful though.No thanks.

I know Kreuger won't play, but he would be my selection.
He might surprise us all and rise to the occasion. What's the point of him being on the list if he is not going to be used when we're bereft of all but midg*ts in the forward line?I suppose an uncanny ability to hit the turf and break something is X factor. Not sure how it would be helpful though.
he’ll take out 4 players while simultaneously knocking himself out, it would be an exciting opening 5 mins.I suppose an uncanny ability to hit the turf and break something is X factor. Not sure how it would be helpful though.
After last week, I have decided that whoever we play, our team is invincible. A touch of the unexpected is required to make these certainties a trifle less certain or perhaps even more certain.he’ll take out 4 players while simultaneously knocking himself out, it would be an exciting opening 5 mins.
Hey question?
In your opinion, who is more of a break glass option?
Carmichael, Krueger or Macrae?
IMO, Krueger had the most upside but is made of glass and has had no continuity. He’s the boom/bust choice. Could win us the match or be off injured in Q1.
Macrae just seems so very vanilla to me. I don’t get what others see in him. Nobody can question Fin’s effort or preparation but I’m yet to see him gave a meaningful impact on an AFL match. Has no obvious weapons or X-factor. I don’t think he’ll move the result needle one little bit.
Carmichael either looks great or terrible. On the plus side, he seems physically durable and is the most proven goal-kicker of the trio you named. But he can also butcher it or go missing for periods.
If Krueger is considered fit enough, he’d be my first choice of that trio. If not, Carmichael. Beyond that, I’d rather see what Bytel can offer than go back to Fin again.
How do you see it?

You don’t have to win games for a team to be valuable.How many games has Krueger won for us at AFL level or VFL level in the past 4 years?
Why do people rate him so highly?
Agreed, but I'd have Bytel as sub over Richards.Out: McCreery (Conc), Schultz (Susp), Mihocek
In: Sullivan, Macrae, Reef
- Sullivan to replace McCreery who was playing Midfield
- Reef to replace Mihocek
- HH to replace Schultz, HH was playing a lot on the wing on Friday.
- Macrae to join the midfield rotation.
Sub: Richards
They just lost by a goal to a team we drew against last round?
Here’s the challenge …
… the folks who think these games are a certainty tend to be the folks who go off their nut when we lose them (as happens from time to time)
McGovern hasn’t played against Kreuger before though, he won’t know what hit him.
Weirdly dismissive of the role our midfield was playing in this. Especially when we fed Dean to the wolves on Hogan, a potential Coleman medallist.
It's the upfield pressure. Our defensive system doesn't work unless we can maintain pressure. The pressure is down and the defenders look slack, but once the pressure rises they look great.Well yeah, because Frampton wasn't playing until our 4th game.
Moore has looked 10 times better since Frampton replaced Dean in R3, because he hasn't been trying to do too much.
Opposition were going through him like the town bike.
Agree with your proposed “ins” although I’d have MaCrae (instead of Dean) as your sub.He's a key piece for us is Jamie and with his history with back injuries and getting a bit longer in the tooth, I would be leaning to the side of caution. Excitingly it does mean a chance to see a new look forward line with my changes being:
Out: Schultz, McCreery, Mihocek, Elliott
In: Richards, Johnson, Reef, Dean (to sub)
Maynard, Frampton, Quaynor
Howe, Moore Noble
Cameron, Crisp, N Daicos
Sidebottom, Pendlebury, J Daicos
Harrison, McInnes, Sullivan
Hill, Cox, Johnson
Lipinski, Markov, Richards, WHE
Sub: Dean
Make it a fairly simple equation for Reef and AJ, "if you are standing still - you are in the wrong", look to utilize movement and speed to get separation from McGovern and Barrass, and don't get drawn into slow 1v1 marking contests. Whenever we look to enter 50, one/both of these guys should already be on the move creating space and hitting up on a lead.
I still think our midfield and backline will be far too strong for the (admirably much improved) Eagles, and with Dean as the security as the sub we can roll a Frampton/Howe forward and bring Dean on if the forward line is just not working as named.
Chaz has been playing above VFL level - but only gets a look in if they relocate one of our defenders up forwardOnly 4 of those - Reef, Bytel, Fin and Kreuger - are realistic options in terms of being competitive or appropriate. The rest are just making up the numbers.

Why do people rate him so highly?
Undoubtedly Krueger, is the riskiest pick of the trio.IMO, Krueger had the most upside but is made of glass and has had no continuity. He’s the boom/bust choice. Could win us the match or be off injured in Q1.
Macrae just seems so very vanilla to me. I don’t get what others see in him. Nobody can question Fin’s effort or preparation but I’m yet to see him gave a meaningful impact on an AFL match. Has no obvious weapons or X-factor. I don’t think he’ll move the result needle one little bit.
