Autopsy The Massacre at the SCG

[kickthething]

So in a game where we weren't really tested defensively, who goes out for McCartin and does Fox come back in the starting 22?

Melican

 

[Bloods86]

Imagine being the poor bugger dropped from a 171 point win

Maybe you give Mccartin another run for fitness?


who knows

McCartin had tougher opposition and looked good. So he comes back in.

Francis out for McCartin. Could be Melican, but I think they’ll want to keep a traditional key defender in against the Cats. I don’t think Fox comes in. There’s no room for him at the moment. Will probably be sub again.

 

[lazy77]

Francis. Clarke out for Fox.

Clarke will likely be out for Hayward.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Almost picture the pe

lets hope we don’t go back to the bottom 5 team we have beam most of season

Need to beat someone about us

I don't get this going back to a bottom 5 team?

We have been hovering around 12th and 13th for most of the year.

It's not some revelation if we lose next week.

No doubt he is best 22 that's for sure

 

[The King!]

Clarke will likely be out for Hayward.

what's hayward done really the last month?

Fox should be in before him imo

 

[Maddo11]

Buddy for Clarke

Francis for Fox

Sheldrick to sub

 

[Bloods86]

Clarke will likely be out for Hayward.

I'm going with what should happen, not what the selectors will probably do.

 

[Bloods86]

Buddy for Clarke

Francis for Fox

Sheldrick to sub

Sorry, Sheldrick in no way deserves to be sub.

 

[DobmusEdge]

hmm. I'm going to take a stab and say the only team that Melbourne could possibly have beat by 90 odd that year must have been gold coast

Crows

 

[TheMase]

Buddy for Clarke

Francis for Fox

Sheldrick to sub

Surely Buddy, McLean, McDonald and Amartey is too tall up front?

Can’t see McCartin being left out, after his showing in the reserves he could have played seniors yesterday.

 

[Maddo11]

Sorry, Sheldrick in no way deserves to be sub.

Sub should be someone who can free up someone more versatile. Sheldrick does his best work in the guts. A forward gets injured, Parker/ Papley can attend less bounces and play further up. A defender gets injured, Mills can drop back.

We've seen Sheldrick as a forward, and it's probably why he was only getting ~50% ToG anyway. Can't rest him in the pockets.

Don't apologise for the truth

 

[lazy77]

Buddy either comes in for Amartey or doesn’t play imo. Ideally, you’d give McLean a rest, but they’ll probably want him as the back up ruck.

I hope Buddy plays. I just want him to do well and will miss him when he’s gone. The others all have plenty of time, and I don’t think we lose a lot by giving Amartey/McLean a break.

 

[caesar88]

I reckon only change will be McCartin for Francis.

I would do this...

Out:Francis, Clarke
In: McCartin, Fox
Sub: Stephens (could slot in anywhere between HF and HB)

Sheldrick was over 70% TOG. Hayward sent to the 2s to get some form. Clarke isn't that suitable as a sub since he only as 1 role in the senior team, which he hadn't been performing that well (and was one of 3 Swans not to lay a tackle yesterday).

Some posters saying that Dangerfield will be out. Reckon he will play. He put up his hand to play against Melbourne but was overruled. I hope our boys do the right thing by Danger and check that he has fully overcome his rib injury. Nothing against the rules please guys. Sick of those 50's we've copped all year.

McCartin replaces Melican
Fox replaces Clarke in the 22.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I don’t pay much attention to fantasy rating points, but last night I saw seven of our fellas scored over 100 points. Is this unusual?

Back to the Geelong game, I reckon Danger plays but unfortunately Cameron misses.

And on selection, I really do not see how Hayward plays. Having Mills organise the forward line worked really well.

Mills did not score himself but I was really impressed with how he played. He truly is a great utility and can play just about anywhere except on Pawkins

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I reckon only change will be McCartin for Francis.

I sincerely hope you’re right.

You can’t make many unforced changes to a team coming off a 171 point win.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Does Hayward come straight back in? Will they give T McCartin another week in the VFL?

 

[Kiama Chris]

The team for Geelong:
McCartin for Melican like for like. Francis intercept abilities tip the scale. Won't die of surprise if it's the other way.
Hayward for Clark as originally planned.
Buddy remains with a sore knee. If not, Amartey will be the one to go down to maintain the best (IMO) balance.
Sub could be Fox but I think Stephens would be a good choice.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Does Hayward come straight back in? Will they give T McCartin another week in the VFL?

I hope not on both counts.

Thought Tommy played a terrific return game in the 2s. He must return.

Mills effectively took Haywards role for some of the time and was terrific.

They should just ask him
