No great surprises i guess.
Shaw is still named, so i guess they are giving him as long as possible to come up.

Who I would keep.

 

[Soups]

Under manned in the back line big time. Time for Harry to take another step up and lets hope Wakes is up to it.

 

[thatday]

I think this is a massive danger game for us, we are expected to win but i honestly don't think we will win. Melbourne are getting all there players back and we are still missing alot of our starters. I am worried about this one .

Who is gonna play on neitz?

 

[Stakerz]

My supercoach team is gone if Shaw doesn't play, considering Ellis doesn't play..

But other than that I wanna see him playing on Monday because I'll be there..

Our backline without both Clement and Presti Looks shithouse, then if Heath is dropped.. *crys*

I don't even know who is in Melbourne's forward line..

Neitz >> Wakes

Who are the other talls?

Keep in mind we have Maxwell named in the forward line. I think Cox will play, he is a good defender.

Maxwell, Wakes, O'Brien, Cox, Rhyce Shaw Am I the only one that thinks he is the worst one on one player? Heath.. PLEASE PLAY!!!.. Tarks going on form, shouldn't let us down.

Take ya pick.

we are more then capable to tak ethe d's forwards.harry will easily account for any of their forwards

 

[xxxWillxxx]

Hopefully Cheesy, jonno, tarks burnsy and co can dominate through the middle so that supply and opportunities are limited for the dees forwards. For all doubters remember how hard these guys play for each other

 

[AsianWithAFro]

Big test for Harry. Defiantly no more playing Maxwell in the forward line and make a back line only. I hope Cox and same to as Goldsack comes back in provides some run off the backline and also If Richards is out than Bryan defiantly must be coming back in. If Heath Shaw is replaced than I think Stanners or Lica must come in.

 

[Jason5]

Its alright harry can stop anyone

 

[Bay Pie]

Licca, Toovey (may get a rest) & Heath Shaw (injured and won't play) to miss

Although Goldsack and Cox appear to pay similar roles, so 1 of them may miss instead.

Might see Swanny playing that half back role, providing the run.

 

[benrey_demons]

Demons forward line will probably be this

Robertson Bate Green
Davey Neitz Sylvia

Presti usually takes neitz, and clement always kills robbo, so im relieved clement at least isn't playing

sylvia plays taller than he is, good mark, and bate is progressing nicely at CHF

if shaw (or swan) plays their usual running role from HBF, expect petterd or brown to play as a defensive forward on them

good luck on monday

Who is gonna play on neitz?

wakelin used to play on lynch at brisbane he is as big as neitz

 

[didaka]

Wakelin is the perfect match-up for Neitz

 

[Hadders]

Wakelin is the perfect match-up for Neitz

Agree. What's with all the hate for Wakes? He may not be our first choice backman behind Presti but he can still play a good stopping role, especially on an old man like Neitz.

 

[Sco]

No trolling here guys, will be a ripping match on Monday, really admiring how you blokes are travelling with all your injuries.

I just have a feeling you would definately win on Monday if Clement was there, without him I'm not so sure.

Any idea when he will be back?

I know you're still playing good footy without him, but I reckon he'd almost make the difference this weekend.

 

[Frederlick]

If Wakelin gets out muscled I still reckon Bryan can rest there on Neizt. Bryan is fast and strong and Neizt hasn't exactly been gaining pace. I reckon Wakelin will do alright though, and Bryan will too. Not the greatest Forward line in the comp, hopefully our forwards can punish em hard enough that an undermanned back line can afford a little bit of leakage. at least the young blokes will be ready for the big crowd after ANZAC. Sorry thats what we thought last year.

 

[Jabso]

I'm a bit worried about their small forward line. I doubt Green, Bruce, Yze will all go forward at the same time, but if they do it may stretch us.

Will probably miss Presti more than Clement. Clement's strength has always been his disposal and run, to a certain extent Harry O and definately Heath Shaw have covered that more than adequately this year, whereas Presti has just been a blanket, not flash, but just shuts the main option down and lets the jazzy players run it out. Don't get me wrong, would be great to have Clement but Presti will also be sorely missed on Neizt.

Wakes is another trenchfighter like Josh and Presti, never have shockers.

 

[Frederlick]

I concur with your concerns and offer this one; Davey (has been named).
Rhyce Shaw, drop Thomas back maybe, Heater, maybe Burns goes in as the forlorn hope if they really stack it, the rest (maxwell et al) are probably a bit big for a good match up and don't want to rob the mid field. MM will have something up his defensive sleeve surely, that is his forte.

 

[Somebody]

Bit surprised to see Richards dropped - I thought he played one of his better games, ruck work pretty good and seems to be finding his feet a bit at ground level. Still looks slow and somewhat bungling but getting better. Don't forget Ant was quite bungling for the first couple of years.
I still have hope for Richards but probably only has this season to prove himself.

Lockyer to Bruce
Swan to Green
R Shaw to Yze

Davis to Davey

 

[demonboy13]

WILL THOMAS PLAY????

is he a definite starter or is he gonna be dropped???
