Changes V Lions
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
Dimma indicated that Nank, Vlastuin, Lambert, Sheds & Dion may not be ready for Friday! Nash, Aarts and Cotch (managed). We still need Chol. I was critical, but did he hurt his ankle in the first quarter? Besides if he goes, we want him to continue to play for a better pick?
The Lions team will be cruelled by injuries for this weeks game whilst the Tigers injury decimation is just unlucky!
play PARKER..BAKER AND STACK as the three mean machine smaller fowards...tell em to tackle like its 2017..get to the fall of every bomb....all year webomb it and all the oppostition has to do is spoil..the run outta our foward line into theirs has never been easier..do we ever have a small foward or mid at the fall of those bombs??..no we dont..castagna..aarts and the entire midfeild is always up the ground lightly jogging on the spot....we need desperate and hungry tacklers...parker ..stack and baker are the ones....i mean how lively is our foward line when baker is down there??...to me this is a no brainer....
Might as well pull the rug on the season and get our older in jured and hobbled blokes rested and ready to rumble with a full pre season.
No merit running them into the ground in games that we wont win anyway.
2022 we can win it if we start now.

I agree that our small forwards seem to be nowhere near the fall of the ball if it is spoiled. Just really can't understand this. Pretty damned hard to run the ball out of our forward line when we are at the fall of the ball. Pretty damned hard to put pressure on defenders when we are nowhere near the fall of the ball.
Just where the hell are our small forwards? If you want to kick goals from crumbing, or if you want to lock the ball in the forward line, you don't leave the opposition alone where the ball will fall if it is spoiled.

"The Tigers are a system based team, personnel doesn't matter as much"....
I think I just chucked a little bit in my mouth.
Hardwick said that none of 9 will be ready to play, yet Balme said Lambert and Edwards will probably play. If Balme is right and these 2 play we're a chance so need to put the best team possible on the park. I know there's lots of realistic pessimism about the rest of this year but where there's a glimmer of hope I say go for it. Either way Aarts and Naish have to go out this week for either Edwards and Lambert or if they aren't right maybe Ross or Martyn and Parker.
not forgetting it's Jack's 300th and i think we owe him a crack ....
I really doubt we will not go 100% for the win until it is impossible for us to make the finals, which is probably our 11th loss, possibly our 12th loss. and even then we probably wont be sending many, if any off for early breaks. we will fight til the end, despite the calls that will come from us fans to rest everyone over the age of 25 and to play the kids.
We are about to be punished with the Friday night game no certainty.
According to the HS web site we are about to be pushed to different time slots due to our"horror" results.
The AFL are considering their actions in this regard.
Anything to put the boots into the RFC.

Not playing Thursday and Friday nights may actually mean we get better breaks between games.
