Changes v Freo

[mld]

No Bean

 

[mld]

I reckon Maric may be a late withdrawal if it's wet, and I don't get the love for McDonough - reminds me a bit of Banik - short and heavy.

Dimma doesn't do late withdrawals.

 

[funky]

Im just waiting for one in..cory silk ellis.

 

[mld]

I reckon we are missing Shane shank Edwards more.

 

[tigerman]

Feel sorry for McDonough, but Lloyd has been in good form and we need some more scoring options.

Haven't dug back beyond this page, has anyone made the eternally hilarious 'out Tivendale in Hyde' call?

agree. this 'tinkering' they are doing has been forced upon them because Sheds is very hard to replace.
Lloyd? may be a good idea if its wet. Griff will always get a gig before McBean at this point.
MattyMcD needed to step up a bit more last week, Lennon did and look whats happened.

 

[tigerman]

It will be interesting who'll be the Sub, Lloyd isn't suited as the sub for mine.

 

[thegeneral01]

My guess for sub would be Lennon.

 

[Maneevo]

Madonna = sub after he replaces maric in the squad

 

[Tiger Pops]

Weak bench. Let's hope the top end talent get the job done.

all clubs needs to cover injuries. The border line players must deliver with Edwards, Knights and Conca back soon. Add to that Ty available next week. Let's hope for a solid tiger win to create even more selection headaches.

If wet I can see Thomas come in for Lennon. I don't think has the hands for wet weather just a little two touch / fumbly for mine at the moment

Wait and see

Thomas may be able to extract the pill out has absolutely no idea what to do with once it is in his hands plus his kicking is poor. Currently I don't overrate Lennon ATM but he has some idea how to use it and can kick

Out Gordon
In Lloyd

Out Lloyd
in Gordon

.....

If the forecast doesn't improve then surely Thomas would bea chance to come in for one of the talls. Maric and Hampson in the wet doesn't seem right.

Didn't Thomas get knocked out last week in the VFL?

 

[Tigerfan]

Can we use iVan as the runner?

If we are still tied after extra time he will be crucial during penalties

 

[mrposhman]

Ok with the team. If it rains maybe McDonough or Thomas will come in.

Hard to pick a sub, if no changes I guess one of Lloyd or Newman. I'd be surprised if it was Lennon as I thought he was good last week.

Might be more likely that they run the Griffinator as the sub. If it's a tad wet it would be wiser to keep all the small mediums available to run as necessary. With both Ivvy n Hamster selected, we may be a bit cumbersome rotating them through ruck n forward. Griff being a fair bit more mobile n better as a forward while still being able to support the ruck, could be a valuable option if the two ruckmen trick doesn't work.

If you look at the FREO teams height
They've got one less big guy than us

Hammer Rance chaplin Maric riewoldt Griffiths
Sandi. Pavlich taberner Griffen McPharlin A Pearce

It just leaves grimes to play on a small, and he runs like a midfielder anyway.

But heights not the full story - I've seen little guys out mark talls before.
Ballantyne kicked 6 against us last year. He's not a big tall forward.
Mayne would love to do it this weekend.

Don't forget the Griff of the tiger variety - I am expecting (a hunch) for a late change if the weather is wet - small for a big.
