Preview Preview/Changes – Round 9 vs. Carlton

[TheBoss]

He's an outside player, he should be fine.

He should only be rested if he is nursing a few niggles.

 

[Proper Gander]

Young legs get a rest. It's a 5 day break.

I feel like his endurance is pretty good though. Looked fresh as a daisy in the fourth where half the players looked knackered. Mind you that could be because the combined age of Geelong’s best 22 is about 15,000

 

[mrmonkey]

I reckon they won't bother making Windsor travel to Perth in a few weeks.

 

[Bluelegs]

We've never rested players. Why would we start now?

 

[schmuttt]

Yeah I think we're only resting guys if they've got genuine issues. We actually play pretty well off short breaks traditionally under Goody IMO

 

[LarryDavidNeitz]

Don’t understand why you’d leave Woey out. He’s been really solid, goes hard at it and importantly can play a number of roles.

Billings out for somebody. Sparrow fairly useless as usual but won’t get dropped because we don’t have a replacement to take centre square minutes.

I’d only drop Woey when Bowey is fit.

 

[Lord Nev]

After today, reckon it's Bowey coming in as sub, Billings out.

Hore, BBB and Hunter as emergencies.

I wouldn't play Bowser as sub. If he's not fit and needs minutes, go to the VFL. If he's fit, he's in the main 22.

Yeah, I'm just going by the way the club reported him being available, sounded a bit like they would bring him straight back in. Maybe they could go Billings out, Woey forward, Bowey in?

 

[Mijhaa]

Bowey + Hunter in, Woewodin + Billings out for mine.

Woewodin back to sub. Bowey is an automatic in if ready and Hunter is at least AFL level, Billings disposal currently is not.

 

[Daemon]

Woewodin back to sub. Bowey is an automatic in if ready and Hunter is at least AFL level, Billings disposal currently is not.

I don't see a spot for Hunter. I'd rather reward Laurie if we are going to drop him.

As others have said Bowey in and McAdam in when fit. Woey out and Billings out. That's probably best 22 currently.

 

[LeverPuller]

I reckon with the role Disco is playing as that medium forward he is holding McAdam’s spot. Soon as he’s fit Disco will be dropped.

I would say what MC are looking to do is Bowey and McAdam for Woey and Disco, but whether it’s against Carlton or against West Coast is the question.

 

[schmuttt]

McAdam won’t come in this week, but I reckon Bowey provably does.

 

[Lord Nev]

McAdam won’t come in this week, but I reckon Bowey provably does.

McAdam concussed reportedly.

 

[booshboy]

McAdam concussed reportedly.

Mitch Clearly saying he took himself off, feeling crook so hopefully good for the VFL this week.

 

[Daemon]

McAdam concussed reportedly.

That guy cannot catch a break

 

[stEdy]

Hopefully it's not a concussion as VFL have a 21 day period off even if you're AFL listed I read.

 

[Bluelegs]

Hopefully it's not a concussion as VFL have a 21 day period off even if you're AFL listed I read.

I assume that AFL players can come back in to play AFL earlier but not VFL?

 

[Lord Nev]

McAdam concussed reportedly.

Might not be concussion. Few Casey watchers said that's what it was, but:

 

[Bluelegs]

'Feeling crook' is an interesting choice of words.

 

[Toump Ass]

'Feeling crook' is an interesting choice of words.

That's what I text my boss when I just can't be ****ed.

 

[schmuttt]

Sounds like a guy who is probably terrified of hurting himself again tbh (I can totally understand he’d be worried about getting hurt again).

No issues with being super cautious in a VFL match. Weird how it's pretty much the only time we've ever taken that sort of approach with someone returning from injury though.

I believe he left Adelaide because he wants happy with the medical treatment he was getting. Could be something in that
