Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 13 vs. Melbourne, MCG Mon 12/06, 3:20pm BIG FREEZE

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

I thought he played well laid some good tackles and could easily have kicked 2 goals

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

Thought he showed a bit. Need to see more.

 

[unplugged]

Obviously I'd love for none of our injuries to be serious and the only forced change to be JDG being suspended... but let's be real.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Probably Ginnivans worst game for us, would give me another week thou to redeem as injuries present.
Time for JC to get a run in the DeGoey role.
The way the clowns in the media are portraying the incident he should be sent to firing squad. He bumped yes, no arm was raised. Should be 3 max, down to 2 if he decides to stay home from Bali…

Anyone stupid enough to form opinions after one game?

9 day break makes a big diff. Some games we’ve only had 5. Wait and see and pray Fat Jesus

We will be fine brother. Low grade sprains I reckon. AJ with a low grade corkie. A few coming back.
9 days to recover.
All good

 

[Harry O]

In Lipinski Elliott McStay
Out JDG Harrison Ginnivan

If McCreery misses one of the small forwards might survive the axe

Adams likely to take up the JDG midfield slack and Lipinski to replace Tay at high half forward

 

[Doc1763]

Would have almost preferred to lose than lose 3 best 22 players.

We will be missing Lippa, Sidebottom, Howe, De Goey, WHE & Mcreery from our best 22 for the foreseeable future.

WHE & Mcreery rolled an ankle, they didn't break a leg

WHE and McCreery are going to need your powers of healing I reckon, WHE especially looked to be serious

Same - Just about right

Yes mate I think WHE is the worst of our injury concerns from today.
Hopefully it's not very serious.
Sending good vibes his way ️
He may miss at worst 1 game although I can't say.
Edward may be a good replacement. Fly said his GPS numbers are similar to Sidebottoms.
Carmichael , Reef or Macrae a chance to come in as well.

Only downer was De Goo. At best 2 weeks out and at worst 3.
Idjut because he has screwed his Brownlow chance.
Up to Nick now.

Nope

 

[swoop42]

Hard to see us adding McStay to all of Mihocek, Johnson, Cox, Cameron, Moore, Murphy and Frampton.

It will happen eventually.
With either Frampton or Cameron out or all playing together.

 

[3rdMan]

Hard to see us adding McStay to all of Mihocek, Johnson, Cox, Cameron, Moore, Murphy and Frampton.

The defence isn't really relevant to it.

McStay's definitely coming in when ready. Adds a missing dimension to our team and reduces wear and tear for Mihocek. Question will be whether we drop a ruck or AJ. I think, initially, we might play all.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Out: DeGoey
In: Carmichael.

Out: Ginnivan…. Zero pace. Zero pressure. Zero Insenity.
No chance does he deserve to keep his spot ahead of Harrison.
In: Elliot.

Out: McCreery (if injured).
In: Markov.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Hard to see us adding McStay to all of Mihocek, Johnson, Cox, Cameron, Moore, Murphy and Frampton.

Agree.... i think it would be absolute madness.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Anyone rate Harrison as AFL standard?

Serious question? He was a wicked off break off 2 goals, ended with 1.1, 8 disposals, 4 tackles, 18 PAs. Pretty good game for a small forward let alone a debutant.

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

News just in, media reporting, DeGoey looking at 5 weeks now.
More updates in half an hour, whereby his head will be formally taken via guillotine

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Surely Macrae will finally get his chance replacing DeGoey. Seems like he has been emergency all season.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Lippa & Elliott in for DeGoey (sus) & McCreery (inj) They're the only definite ins & outs I'm prepared to call at this stage

 

[legendstatus]

Any other player in this same situation will and has been 2 maybe 3 but the Collingwood tax drives media to go 3 maybe 4 - laughable!

This will be the headline till Monday/Tuesday evening

5...! It's going up 1-2 weeks every time they mention it..
