Preview Round 7 v Melbourne ANZAC Eve MCG Wednesday April 24th 7.25pm

[Vassp]

Agree that Ryan is in better form ... and Kosi doesn't stand a chance in the ruck against Gawn ... shouldn't be too many surprises at selection unless there was another injury at training

In Ryan, Hopper, Grimes
Out Kosi, Kamdyn, (or MacAuliffe 12d or Sonsie 6d in a half or Dow 13d), Short

Only other possibility would be Young goes out and Kosi stays in

why would you take young out, probably one of our best defenders.

Ins: Ryan/Naismith. Grimes. Hopper

Outs: Short. Hugo. Kosi

FWIW …That’s what I ‘think’ might happen … if I had my way it would be:

Ins: Ryan. Hopper. Grimes. K Smith

Outs: Short. Kosi. McIntosh. Pickett

* play Campbell and Hugo on the wings. Sonsie as sub.

Young on Brown
Miller on Petty
Rioli on Kosi
Grimes on Fritsch
Broad on JVR
Vlastuin floating around on whomever

Teams?

 

[tiger_tough]

Short is my guess, with Broad or Brown released into a more attacking role.

No chance Short gets dropped.

They've beaten good teams though with that forward line.

They're a good team but their tall forwards are crap (Ben brown, Petty) or out of form (Van Rooyen).

we did make Petty look like Gary Ablett last year though.

Edit- Forgot Short was injured

team

I think it's time to bring Cumberland and Naismith in for Kosi and Campbell.
Naismith can play deep and is the get out of jail high ball when needed. Rather Ryan but Naismith better against Gawn.

Campbell had 4 poss, in the first Q, then 4 for the rest of the match, 1 contested possession all up. He has been great and looks a player, but I think a few games in the midfield/forward in the VFL is needed. Needs to get his hands on it. Cumberland would also give us a more scoring power.

Need to be proactive at this stage of the season.

Campbell played small forward with the Eagles effortlessly picking their way through our midfield. How many possessions did you expect him to get. KMac he was worse. We should dump him and move Campbell to the wing

Campbell plays up the ground not small forward. He got most of his possessions on the wing. I am a fan of Campbell, I think we have a good player in the making, but I think he's going to be a mid perhaps. But he is looking a bit our of form.

And yes I would happily replace MacIntosh, plenty of candidates, Campbell being one of them.

 

[LTT]

Please excuse the intrusion.

Tigers definitely a chance. Good inclusions.

Tigers $4.40 on Sportsbet. Ridiculous odds. I'm having a nibble at that.

Never bet against the umpires

More importantly ...Umpires?

[_RT_]

Mykelti & Naimisth against Lever May & McDonald could get ugly if we're just bombing the ball on their heads all night. Miller could be another option to move forward with Grimes now back. Going to be an interesting match given the named team.

 

[Groupie_]

no full forward

its grimes isnt it

How quick is Petty? Broad being on JVR is a good shout as well. He still has a good toe on him and is deceptively strong. Kaleb Smith could be rotating with Vlast as well.

why is mcauliffe out

 

[Growapair]

In Naismith, Banks, Hopper and Grimes

Ralphsmith named on the wing
MacIntosh on the bench

 

[dirtybizza]

Mcauliffe dropped and Hugo still in the side is criminal. Happy to see Kmac named on the bench though

 

[JackNah_8]

Who is going to be our FF?

Love the confidence we have that Lefau can smother May and Lever. Pretty sure that a 4th gamer is going to be able to do that task.

If we bomb it in then we are going to have it easily marked by someone in the Red and Blue.

 

[tiger_tough]

hahaaha get ****ed. McAuliffe dropped, 2 rucks in and a 3rd gamer as our only tall forward. McIntosh survives again. Where the **** is Ryan?

Absolute garbage selections.

 

[db26]

Ryan should be in that side if Grimes is going to play forward pointless

 

[Rubber Hips]

Banks?

Kano out?

 

[prodigy]

McIntosh and Pickett must be loving life. They're old so they just get carte blanche this year and don't have to perform.
