Cotch in for Ross
Noah in for Marbs

Yep, that is what i would do too

 

[tigerlove]

In Cotchin Out Ross
That's it. They won't mess with things too much.

Give Ross a full game on ball in the VFL. Wouldn't discount him yet.

Problem is there is no VFL game, Tigers have a bye. Looks to me one of Ross, Baker, Bolton is in the sights. I reckon it might be Baker. Balta for Chol? I'd like to see it.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

I wouldn't consider Balta for Chol being a drastic change personally. Chol's form and lack of game time 49% and 53% will surely be a concern. Lack of efficient disposals 2,3,2 in last 3 games. Lack of marks, 3 in last 3 games (1 contested in last 6). Lack of scoring (1 goal and 0 goal assists) when playing forward. Lack of quality hitouts to advantage (2 in 10, 0 in 6, 1 in 6 in last 3 games).

I think it's been long overdue. CCJ or Balta has to come in. They can't do any worse and they've both been in good form in last few games, particularly CCJ.

I like your thinking, TL

In Cotchin Out Ross
Give Ross a full game on ball in the VFL. Wouldn't discount him yet.

A full game would still be 0%. We have a bye.

 

[TrialByVideo]

I thought I saw Dylan in a shot on one of the news services last night walking into the club looking a little ginger.
Unfortunately I reckon he's gonna miss. His speed is one of his greatest assets and if he can't chase Cameron I think they'll give him the extra week.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

I would like to see Cotchin and Balta in.
Not sure who gets dropped ... maybe Caddy and Chol
Aarts would be a real smokey to be selected ... maybe at Short's expense (but unlikely).
Ross stays, in my opinion.

 

[year of the tiger]

I reckon Cotch and Balta in for Grimes (give his ankle another week) and Chol.

We go smaller against a fast team

 

[eZyT]

are Essendon taking the *smile*?

resting players to finish 7th or 8th and hand Pies a bruise free evening?

are Essendon taking the ****?

Likely to play against each other again first week of finals.
Woosha playing mind games with Bucks.

They are taking the ****. AFL will huff and puff and decide to stop teams resting players in the last round they extend the bye to two weekends.

Always knew introducing the bye was a farce.

 

[TigerMasochist]

Haaarrgh, Cotch on the extended interchange list. FFS he plays or he's out injured, stop pissin around. Short named on McLuggage, now that's a scary proposition.

 

[zippadeee]

Umpires?
Thats who will influence the result

O’Gorman (god help us)
Meredith
Fleer.

Couldnt agree more TM

You name the captain or you dont

Even if he is listed in the starting 18, he can still be a late withdrawal.
It’s been like that for the last 100 years.
It means *smile* being named on the bench.
The 6 on the bench could play and 6 players in the starting 18 could all be out.
Don’t you remember Sheedys sides in the early 2000’s??

 

[nafe brown]

My changes would be
In cotch / McIntosh/ balta
Out ross / baker / chol

 

[caesar]

Hi Ceasar
Do you know what time training is and if it's open or is it.... get upstairs @the royal with binoculars?

Tomorrow, (Friday), is the main training session but not an open session, (they never are), it is a matter of watching it through the fence near the Superstore or on Punt Road, if you have your membership on you they won't try to move you on.

Training usually starts at 9:30am and finishes about 11am.

 

[Smoking Aces]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ross stays in.

I just think the MC rate Ross too highly not to be in.

 

[kiwitiger]

If grimes does miss , they might bring in Balta and kmac for grimes and chol , so in effect you bring in 2 players who can go back depending on match ups

 

[Ian4]

There have only been three previous matches between sides having won at least 8 in a row each.

Year	Rd	Match	Consecutive
2019	23	Rich v Fitz	8 & 9
2009	14	St.K d. Geel	13 & 13
1972	SF	Carl drew Rich	8 & 10
1898	PF	Fitz d. Coll	8 & 9

thats a great stat.

do you know our MCG win /loss record since the start of 2017? 5 losses, but how many games? i estimate about 43-44?

I'd give Balta a run. We know what Chol brings. Let's see what Balta is like after another run in the twos. Then we need to lock one in for the finals unless Nank makes it back.

The more I think about it, the more I think Balta needs to be given a go as our second ruck. Chol has been OK, but I think Balta is more likely to get the ball and do something with it.

introducing the bye has nothing to do with clubs resting players. wake up.
