Preview Changes v Gold Coast, Rd 17 2015

[Scorpus]

Lots of good performances across the board. Therefore I would like to see:

Unchanged
Sub: Mackay

Really wouldn't mind seeing Shaw, Grigg, Kerridge, CEY or Cheney come in, perhaps for Mackay, Wright or possibly even Martin (who played well). But I believe in rewarding a good team performance and next week we are facing Gold Coast at home.

Pleeeez .....lets soak up the win and close this Fred

 

[MRB37]

Probably depends if Talia can get up. Look at bringing Shaw or Cheney in if he misses. Something's gotta be done with Hendo too. Heart in mouth stuff with him down back most times. Could bring in Lyons for Wright too, but most likely only forced changes at this stage.

My underpants after those last 3 minutes....

I thought Henderson was great everywhere but in the defensive 50 area

Yea, I like him, just not down back. I'd swap him with Smith at this point, who seems to be struggling now that he's not across half back.

 

[billy fragos]

No one stands out as a certain out. Martin, Atkins, Mackay the most Lilley. . Smith was pretty bad as well, just wasn't a good day for outside players from our team.

 

[dylan123]

Think everyone was pretty solid so probably unchanged unless Talia can't get up or someone else picked up an injury.

Atkins didn't do much but hard to expect much from a first gamer.

 

[Houston]

Atkins probably the only bloke at risk.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Why on earth did Ricky take the kickouts? I know Brodie has been shyte lately but he's still better than bloody Ricky.

10 disposals in three quarters. As good as some we won't mention in recent times!

[spexau]

Atkins didn't do much but its a tough ask as a first gamer in a season defining Showdown

 

[mcday]

Out: Talia?, Martin/Mookay*
In: Shaw, CEY

Atkins looked a bit out of his depth, but will hopefully get another shot. I'd be happy with no changes, personally.

*Not that Martin was particularly poor by any means, I just think Cam HAS to come back in, and the coaches have been reluctant to drop Mackay.

 

[RePete]

Out: Atkins
In: CEY

Grigg would be a good in but probably needs another game or two.

Sub: Martin - perfect for this role

 

[Don Muraco]

I thought Henderson was great everywhere but in the defensive 50 area

Henderson should be in Mckays position. Put a DEFENDER in Hendersons position.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

In: CEY and Kerridge

Out: MacKay and Wright.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Out: Atkins
In: CEY

Grigg would be a good in but probably needs another game or two.

Sub: Martin - perfect for this role

I think we might see CEY come in for the Rat

Sloane wont be far either

 

[Scorpus]

Henderson should be in Mckays position. Put a DEFENDER in Hendersons position.

Mackay is also in a defensive role, so really both of them should be replaced with actual defenders. Both are better as wingmen but I guess the AFC likes to use them as rebounding defenders.

I'd swap Henderson with Smith and replace Mackay entirely.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Out: Atkins
In: CEY

Grigg would be a good in but probably needs another game or two.

Sub: Martin - perfect for this role

Have to reward his game today. Leave him be for now.

 

[DD#23]

CEY has to come back, and I can't handle Hendo's weak efforts - either bring Cheney back or do something with a hint of crazy and bring Shaw in.

 

[Don Muraco]

Mackay is also in a defensive role, so really both of them should be replaced with actual defenders. Both are better as wingmen but I guess the AFC likes to use them as rebounding defenders.

I'd swap Henderson with Smith and replace Mackay entirely.

CEY could have a role here. ( Even though I thought Mckay was OK today, we need better than OK))

 

[Godallblighty]

6*

Ah, damn. 4 & 2, not 6 & 4. Oops.

 

[Houston]

I actually liked Martin today. Is it just me or has he got his wheels back?

 

[Don Muraco]

Big danger is now keeping the boys up for Cold Toast. Maybe just let Danger stand Ablett.
