Changes for Semi

Perfect changes. The only other one I’d seriously consider is dropping Dave Ashbury for Markov. More pace
Markov at 188cm is fast but short c/w Astbury 195cm who normally takes on the big gorillas. Markov is best on HBF or wing to use his pace so who do you drop in those positions? That's why selection is so hard this week.

They have Membrey and King as their talls. Balta/Broad/Grimes for them. Vlaustin/Houli\Short/Markov do the rest. Astbury not required unfort
 
Carlisle officially out. Not sure what else they've got to bring in. Battle comes in, Roberton?
I Think if it's Ryder, Carlisle, & Long out then it is probably Abbott, Battle, & any one of Hind, Marsh, or Phillips (all 3 appear to be no threat thankfully) in
 
I think it’ll just be Chol for Lynch, unless there’s an injury. Historically we haven’t made unforced changes during finals campaigns.

I'd like to see Broad and Caddy back in but don't think it'll happen

In: Lynch, Ross
Out: Chol, Lambert

If Broad has been training as 2nd ruck option then might be worth bringing in.
Caddy/Markov the only other two possible considerations.

And quick. They have speed forward of centre.

Yep their little half forwards wingers have given us grief on a few recent occasions even in games where we have beaten them.

Hill, Butler and Hannebury will do damage if we dont respect them as well as Billings Lonie, and Gresham these types. They always seem to bob up against us.

Grover should get Hannebury.

Out: Chol, Pickett.
In: Lynch, Caddy.

I wouldn't necessarily say Pickett deserves to be dropped, but I think we need Caddy's bigger body and cooler head.



out of curiosity, how are they selling tix? 1 per membership? 2 per membership? Is it true the capacity will be 16,000? We should be able to outnumber them 3 to 1 at least.

3 tickets per barcode for this game.

Qld restrictions are 75% capacity. Metricon i think is 21,000 capacity so your 16,000 would be right on.
 
Judging from the coaches votes, whoever played on Rich and McTosca will be under selection pressure. We lost by 15 points yet not a single Tiger scored a vote. #madimma
 
This week I am surprised to see that the bulk of the posters are singing from the same hymn sheet re selection. If only the MC would consult us experts we would have the perfect team!

St Kilda are a tall side, DTLD is required
or are the Saints too top heavy against a fleet footed running gun outfit like the Tigers? Dimma is rarely fussed about who is on the other team when picking our side.

Long’s appeal has failed so 3 forced changes for the Saints

I never wish or celebrate misfortune on our opponents that isnt dispensed by us,

If i did, i would celebrate this
