R15 v The Blues / team changes

[TheCan]

dunno but kruser worries me

 

[thegdog]

Out Griffiths inj Maric susp Newman omitted
In McBean Mc Donough Menadue

 

[pervian]

Don't have much depth any news on Foley Conca petard Ashburg if we make finals we need them back wonder how Hampster is travelling

 

[Harry]

I'm worried about this one.

 

[Midsy]

Ashburg

Think he's on the Autism spectrum somewhere.

 

[AMPS]

I'm worried about this one.

Blues will be tired. Tigers by plenty.

 

[Tigerfan]

Ok so hampson was a late withdrawal from the VFL team so if maric gets rubbed out we bring in mcbean to cover Vickery who will be in the ruck most of the day.

Fingers crossed on griffiths but if he doesn't come up we can look at Elton, or McKenzie.

I'd say Thomas is our best bet if cotchin gets a holiday. That's because he'd still win those critical clearances.

So worst case scenario

Out maric Cotch griffiths
In mcbean McKenzie Thomas.

hoping my boy gets a run this week DDT ;D

 

[AMPS]

Mckenzie not ready and please no Thomas.

Our fragile little lineup will take some hits this week.
Not looking good.

Pretty pessimistic!

McBean would be handy, Ashbury covers griffo if injured and I'd love to see McDonough get a game. I would love to see concha back on the park and knights getting some continuity as extra back up.

Makes life a little difficult when the big bodied mature players you would expect to be handy injury replacements are all out injured or not match fit because of long injury periods.
Conca, Petterd, Foley, Knights, Astbury, Hampson, would normally be expected to fill any injury or suspension holes.
Big gap in maturity n experience if we suddenly have to start pushing up from Dea, Elton, Beanie, Arnott, McDonough, Lloyd, to replace a Cotchin or Maric.

 

[Tigerfan]

Thomas wont let us down.
his kicking efficiency is comparable with Cotch. He's not as good but carlton won't win the clearances with thommo in there
It's a good time to test McKenzie

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

They have to be given some experience at some stage. Better against Cartoon now than in September.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Yeah, if injuries/suspension force our hand, I'd rather it be now than in September or the lead up to it.

 

[St Kevin]

Cotch will cop a fine methinks. Ivvy will miss a week.

Good chance to see what TV is made of as number 1 ruck.

At the game I thought Cotch would be in trouble, watching replay didn't look as bad. Fingers crossed

 

[waiting]

Have the MVP given its verdicts yet?

 

[17]

Still unclear how many outs we will have this week (Cotchin? Griff? etc).
But with Carlton playing youth, a good opportunity to bring up McDonough and Lennon.
Not Thomas.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Yeah. I think most of the people shrieking for change haven't actually watched the VFL side much.

McDoodle's the interesting one. Clearly talented, kicks goals, but clearly is on the nose for some reason. I tend to accept the selection panel's feelings on these things even though it's a FARCE.

Really? I've watched nearly every game and can say for the Richmond listed players, Lennon, McDonough, Dea and Arnot have been our most consistent....
Thomas too but he's a rookie wouldn't want him in anyway slow as a truck and doesn't chase.

Agree on McDonough not getting a fair go!
