Preview R4: Changes vs. Gold Coast Suns (Match of the Round)

[FR0GGY]

What key defenders do the suns have? Mac Andrew and Sam Collins?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If we were to rest Tex for 2-3 games this year, this would be one of the games due to the heat and humidity. Maybe add an extra runner. The last two Brisbane games have been scraps. Felt we looked a bit fatigued at times today. Could easily see a very fresh Gold Coast running on top of us with us coming off a 6 day break, and exposing our key backs with King.

Particularly with the short turn around.

Curtin up forward. Perhaps Jones in for Curtin as 3rd wingman. How did he play on the weekend?

We need Butts & Nankervis in to improve our defence.

Draper for Rachele & Taylor to sub if Pedlar didn't set the world on fire.

Think so.

Ballard out for season is a big loss.

Sitting eastern side today, the sun was belting down, it actually felt like 30 degrees, even though it officially only got to 23.
Players were clearly fatigued, it was bloody warm.

Tom Morris just reported that the club is saying “suspected broken ribs’ for Rachelle.
Bugger.

Buggar as was in great form.

Hopefully nothing more serious.

Does that mean he hasn't had scans? Poor, if so.

Milera will be given the senior player credit and '' he wont play 2 bad games ''

[SLOWNE]

OUT:
Rachele (injured)
Milera (Omitted)
Sholl (Omitted)
Draper (Sub)

IN:
Nankervis
Dowling
Draper
Taylor (Sub)

Milera very clearly needs a rocket, make him go DEMAND a spot in the seniors.
Sholl is just not a finals calibre player, bounces off players when tackling.

Nank off half back, Dowling off the wing, Sid in the guts.

Broken ribs is like 6 weeks, you don't want to come back too soon from that, or you'll crack them again like Greenwood did in the grand final

 

[CharlieCrow]

Have to bring Butts in to stand King - Borlase out
Nankervis to replace Milera in defence. Milera goes to sub - coach won't drop him! Sholl could also be the sub.
Draper from sub to take Rachele's position in the forward lines/midfield.

Despite what some have written here, I didn't think Borlase was too bad today. Agreed that he's barely at the standard, but competed strongly in the packs and did some good punching to the boundary when it mattered

 

[CrowTownRoad]

Out: Milera - find some form and confidence in twos

In: Nankervis - takes Cumming’s wing position

Cumming joins the defensive rotation and starts on (Milera’s) halfback flank

Taylor / Pedlar to replace Rachele if needed.

Strongly consider bringing in Butts for the King matchup at the expense of Borlase

If I was the club I would be making 3 changes this week:

1. Out Rachele / In Pedlar
2. Out Borlase / In Butts
3. Out Milera / Nank.

Move Sholl to sub.

What the club will do:

Out Rachele / In Murphy.

Unfortunately youre right. Its about a 4-6 week injury depending on the severity and flying only exacerbates the pain experienced. That would likely rule out a return against Freo in Perth.
Looking ahead at the fixture this would mark his potential return around R8-Carlton or R9-Showdown both at AO.

 

[Cromulant]

When has he failed as a forward?
In his Jr years he was a goal kicking small forward.

We tried him in the AFL system and it didn't work.

He hasn't played there for the best part of 8 years.

Why would you drop Borlase after yesterday ??

It's nonsensical

Jones not well.

Nankervis comes in

 

[FR0GGY]

I’m not ready to lose just yet. Winning is just too good.

 

[Cromulant]

Depends if we think Keane can play on Ben King

I'd rather drop Keane in that instance.

Has had a poor start to the year, and Butts didn't play that well on the weekend.

They're not dropping Keane before Borlase

Borlase is obviously first out and only played yesterday because Butts missed some preseason

Borlase only stays this week if we think Keane (or Borlase) can go head to head with King. I don't think either are capable

Then the key defence stays unchanged.

It's nonsensical

Ethan Read and Ben King are both 200cm +

Borlase is 192cm. Butts is a better defender than Borlase and better suited for the matchup.

It makes a lot of sense.
