Preview ROUND 21 - Changes v Brisbane Lions - AO - Sat 7.10pm

[GROTTO]

A great win. Likely again an unchanged lineup, though Mackay would be short of game time, so a decision needs to be made whether he starts in the 18 or is dropped to the SANFL.

 

[MRB37]

OUT: Mackay
IN: Grigg (as sub)

Rest of the squad to keep their spots.

 

[Truck25]

no injuries! then no changes...close thread!

 

[Carmo]

If Andy Otten plays equal or better than last week he will be considered.

Also, you heard it here first, unlike most others, I think he will go better (yes even in running and agility) after his two knee ops. I think his knees were half to three quarter rooted after his junior footy career, he was basically carrying them. The incidents that damaged them were innocuous because they were ready to go. A repaired knee will only ever run at 90% of original, however, his knees prior to hurting them were about 50% of full power.

 

[Lawrst]

Douglas ready yet?

 

[MRB37]

Douglas ready yet?

They said on 5AA he's a chance to come back next week.

 

[Redleg Crow]

All depends on Douglas. Think he would come in for Knights or Atkins or (possibly, but not likely) Crouch.

Other than that. You really can't drop someone after a 100+ win. But given it is Brisbane, there *might* be a chance to rest someone for the Eagles and Cats massive games afterwards.

Mackay is in the gun... two games in the sub position is a bit of a death knell.

Yeah, good point (had actually forgotten about him!)

 

[baldandbroke]

Hartigan and Mackay are the two that look out of their depth to me, and VB still can't kick over the man on the mark !!!

No way VB isn't getting to 200 this year, cannot see it happening. As I have said before I think he will retire at the end of the season with 200+ games.

I'd be getting Cheney back in and finding a spot for Grigg in the starting 21.

OUT: Hartigan, Mackay
IN: Cheney, Grigg

 

[FantasticShirt]

Mackay sub 3 weeks in a row would be unfair. Either gets a full game or is dropped (prefer the latter). 112pt win would be rough to omit anyone but I thought Hartigan, Crouch, VB, Henderson were all below their best today. Hope none are dropped but wouldn't be surprised if one or two are.

 

[little graham]

Cameron's been missing for large parts of the last two weeks in his non statistical role, does he make way for Douglas and Atkins get his gig?

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, good point (had actually forgotten about him!)

Seems to be a very common occurance with Mackay.

 

[Glenno23]

Cameron's been missing for large parts of the last two weeks in his non statistical role, does he make way for Douglas and Atkins get his gig?

Not a chance

His role isn't to get 25 touches every week. His role is to kick 2-3 goals, get 10-15 touches and lay 5+ tackles. Plus he has pace. No way is CC getting dropped

 

[MRB37]

Cameron's been missing for large parts of the last two weeks in his non statistical role, does he make way for Douglas and Atkins get his gig?

Thought Cameron was very good today. Had 8 score involvements, 3 goal assists, 5 tackles along with his couple of goals and 14 touches.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Douglas in as sub

Mackay out

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Wtf

 

[DJ75]

Can we drop Henderson? That bloke is scared of his own shadow.

 

[mickfaxis]

Yep Cameron Ellis-Yolmen's been missing for a number of weeks!!!!!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[writeoff]

Wholesale changes are needed.
Laird, Crouch, Thompson, Brown, Henderson, Talia, Lever and Hartigan all need to be dropped...
Because they didn't kick a goal against Essendon.

 

[Mattrox]

Didn't he set up Tex's 1st goal? In it from the start.

 

[Houston]

Mackay for Douglas and Crouch for CEY. Lyons as starting substitute.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Excuse me?

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Douglas for VB
Martin/Grigg for Mackay.

Won't happen so I'll just go Douglas for Mackay.
