Changes vs St. Kilda

[momentai]

Banks came to us as a winger and has played half back and looks good in both positions, but how then do we cover Mansell in the forward line. Playing Banks there would be doing something that he's probably never trained for or played in that position.

Our balance was very good at the weekend, and I highly doubt we will swing players around when we played so well, we are far more likely to go like for like than do anything like swing players around.

I haven't said anything about being flexible enough (you are putting words in my mouth), but I would be completely shocked if Banks plays half forward / small forward on Saturday and thats what I replied to. Not sure where I inferred anyone was a robot.

I haven’t suggested Banks will play half forward or that Mansell won’t be available. That is all your own work.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Outs: Pickett (not playing as stated by Gale, will return after the bye against the lions), Young hopefully out also, and Mansell wait and see tonight at 5.30pm tribunal

 

[mrposhman]

I suspect we will aim to keep the same mix as we had at the weekend as it worked very well and playing a similarly setup side.

Outs Pickett, Mansell (pending tribunal)
Ins Tresize, MRJ / Coulthard

Suspect we go like for like and play Tresize forward

 

[spook]

I expect Cumbo will come in for Marlion if he's fit.

 

[mrposhman]

Yeah he'd be in in place of Tresize in my example above but I'm assuming he's injured at the minute

 

[Tigers08]

Assuming AFL/RFC stick by Marlion he probably still needs a short break.
Justice to prevail in the Mansell case.

In Banks and Miller.
Out McIntosh, Pickett managed, and Ralphsmith sub.

B Young Grimes Balta
HB Broad Vlastuin Rioli
C Banks* Cotchin Short
HF Mansell Baker Martin
F Clarke Ryan Riewoldt
R Nankervis Taranto Bolton
I\C Graham, Miller, Prestia and Ross.
Sub McIntosh.

McIntosh?

 

[TigerForce]

Time to debut Banks.

 

[tigertim]

Time to debut Banks.

Yeah, I reckon with Marlion out this is the way to go.

 

[No 4]

Yeah, I reckon with Marlion out this is the way to go.

Morro suggests in his interview, he will be ready (not exact words but near to this). if so, a spot for MJ?

 

[momentai]

McIntosh?

Like to see Banks get a go but I have Kamden as sub and would expect he would come on as fresh as a daisy during the 3 rd!

 

[Rantnrave]

Im up in topanga canyon right now..
Might head up to grams joshua tree
But nothing will beat seeing joni mitchell 2 nights ago except another tigers flag

 

[Mr Brightside]

Butler got off , you beauty

 

[RoarEmotion]

Butler got off , you beauty

The Saints livewire told the Tribunal he'd tried to roll with the tackle so as not to give away a push in the back free kick and argued he'd had no choice but to tackle as "I don't want to get dropped".

Clearly better for tigers if he doesn’t play but for footy in general this can’t be a suspension.

 

[thegdog]

Tresize has to be a chance I reckon. Forward pressure and a good mark. Why not ? Can’t possibly consider MJR

 

[TigerForce]

Butler got off , you beauty

Gets to celebrate Chimp's 300th. Still is a Tiger in some parts.

What is wrong with giving Bauer a go as he was drafted as a forward even we are trying to develop his defensive skills?

Certainly deserves a go. Done his apprenticeship

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Not sure who replaces Pickett and Mansell. They brought physicality to the forward line that’s now functioning better. FMD.

 

[Dyer'ere]

King will get Balta? Owens is super mobile, pretty much a small when it's on the deck but can take a catch and hit it hard. Can't see Young getting anywhere near him. Broad or Grimes. Caminiti gets over ground. He bounds all over the joint. Broad or Grimes.

Do we persevere with Young? Young structures us up and Vlastuin gets to play small. Less standing in front of the pack, more running. That's good. And it's possible we'll need to stay tall again this week. Less bungling from Young would be handy and not out of the question. The alternative is probably Ralphsmith who might do well on the 'Pou. Even though Young is letting the ball out the back we are better shaped with him in.

MoJu has to come in. He doesn't look ready but he has to at least sub. We're out of running players. Probably has to play.

Cumberland after the bye, apparently.

We are so short on playing stocks we have to bring Miller in to play #3 forward. If not we push Martin or Cotchin forward again. Or experiment with a backman up forward? FMD. Bradtke was poor. Bauer worse. Coulthard quiet. Trezise less so. Biggie anonymous.

Banks? Maybe. HBF or sub. But he is not a runner. And can be too light in defence. Sonsie? I dunno. We're looking for a running sub if Hugo gets a gig. Might have to be Sonsie.

Out: Marlion, Mansell, Young
In: MRJ, Ralphsmith, Anybody but Miller

 

[TigerForce]

Yep. Looks like Mozza will be in as tackling forward for Mansell, no matter how bad he performed in the 2nds game.

Banks (to debut) for Pickett I reckon.
