Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 6 vs. Brisbane. Thur 17/04 @ 7:30pm (Gabba)

[jmac70]

Bruzzy is a good match up for him, but the thing is Bruzzy in that role with Howe out does make us weaker in the air and whoever then replaces Bruzzys role then makes us weaker on the ground than Bruzzy, as well as probably weaker in terms of Bruzzys run - I think it's a lose lose lose in the air, on the ground and in rebound - unless we have a quality half back to come back in - which is the following week.

What happened to Howe?

 

[BillyElliott]

Good to see the old fellas getting in their naps

 

[jathanas]

In DeGoey
Out Allan

sub Sullivan.

No need for cox to come in unless mcStay needs a break. MMM is working, why play with the formula against the reigning premiers?

Wouldn’t mind Howe getting a rest though although not sure who for.

Edit…….

If perryman is out then give a reprieve for Allan. WHE to play back.

I thought Sully out would be the go but Allan makes more sense. Little point playing the young fellow as sub again. He needs miles in those legs.

 

[tmpies01]

Xander McGuire just reported that Perryman is in doubt due to ankle injury sustained in the last quarter.

Didn’t say in doubt specifically just that he was proppy in the rooms after. Reckon it’s more a wait and see how the ankle feels closer to the game

 

[tmpies01]

Do we think De Goey plays?

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Do we think De Goey plays?

Wouldn’t risk him to be honest. Two games in a row at the G against Essendon and Geelong so would rather make sure he’s 100% for those

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Do we think De Goey plays?

Club has said so, so assume he will.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Do we think De Goey plays?

No.

 

[Apex36]

McStay is replaceable. And since Cameron needs a break, Cox coming in is ideal.

We’ve played 4 games, this talk of players needing a rest is absolute nonsense.

 

[sr36]

What happened to Howe?

He's the latest player who doesn't own a bed. Can't rest himself so the club has to do it for him.

 

[Bianconeri]

Club has said so, so assume he will.

When did they say that?

 

[unplugged]

The Perryman sore ankle is likely an inexperienced journalist in the rooms seeing a guy with ice applied hobbling around, which happens in every game of footy ever played whether country footy or AFL.

We even had someone on our board last week wondering if a player would be missing because they saw him walking past an interview with ice on their leg lol

Suspect if he finished the game on the field, he's fine.

 

[Cyclops]

When did they say that?

Can't remember exactly but I think it was Fly midweek in an interview?

We've already had Pendles as sub, and Fly in past years has stated we pick horses fir courses.

Zero surprises if we rest 2.

 

[Harry O]

When did they say that?

Post game interview with Fly by Whateley on Fox

 

[sr36]

We’ve played 4 games, this talk of players needing a rest is absolute nonsense.

And had a bye - with an 8 day break after this game.

 

[frizzle]

We’ve played 4 games, this talk of players needing a rest is absolute nonsense.

We have also had a bye. Some weird takes here lately.

 

[Dtennent94]

Losing games because we got too cute with team selection, trying to rest players, is a good way to needlessly derail this season.

Drop games we don’t need to, get on the back foot, have to play harder and rush players back, more injuries, etc etc

Might as well go full steam early on and see where it gets us and then worry about resting in the last couple of months of the season (if we’re in a position to) when our draw opens up.

 

[Gaben]

We’ve played 4 games, this talk of players needing a rest is absolute nonsense.

I’m sure delisted free agent Tim Membrey is just dying to have a week or two off though…!

Darcy had a cut on his head, so he definitely needs a break, too.

 

[TradeDraft]

Hope Perryman can get up but IF not you think Allan comes in the 22 and then a New Sub

Is Perryman injured?

 

[Chameleon75]

Is Perryman injured?

Probably a Facebook rumour

 

[stormskye]

Is Perryman injured?

Some very loose rumours going around that he looked “proppy” on an ankle.

Nothing of substance at this stage. I’d say he’s fine tbh.

 

[Dtennent94]

It was Xander McGuire who said that Perryman was proppy after the game and that he has a suspected ankle injury that may or may not keep him out against Brisbane.

 

[TradeDraft]

Is Perryman injured?

Whisper he might of Injured his Ankle in 4th Qtr

 

[mwhop]

Is it double point round?

shhhhh please dont give afl house any more shite ideas
