Round 6 Changes verses the Dees - ANZAC eve
- Thread starter year of the tiger
- Start date
Based on watching the VFL today.
I would say our best 5 were Stack, Rioli Jnr, Mansell, Lambert and Aarts. The next best were RCD, Banks, Clarke, Soldo and Martyn.
Ins: Lambert, Macintosh, Stack, Rioli Jnr, Gibcus
Outs: Parker, Aarts (sub,) Miller, Dow, Ross or Ralphsmith (only if he doesn't get up).
Ross to vanilla no hurt factor and only came in for Macintosh
Thought Dow had an average game, 4 kicks and 11 handbells, 5 contested, and 0 centre clearances. He has been good in previous games but lacked intensity in the contest V Crows. Can't afford to bring that lack of intensity against a hardened midfield like the Dees.
Aarts I've seen enough, I know what he brings at AFL level, we need to give guys like Stack, MRJ, RCD, and Mansell their chance again when form warrants it.
*If they go, Soldo, then I agree with other PREnders, Balta to go back and Gibcus doesn't come in, play's ressies.
This is going to be an interesting week for the match committee. No doubt they were present at the reserves game today and going by what several dished up yesterday in the seniors there must be multiple changes.

Jack Graham needs a rest. Is doing nothing and has been average all year. Looks slow and his tackles aren't sticking.
Also enough of Jack Ross. Makes a mistake or completely shows us down every time he gets the ball. Not really sure what Dimma sees in him.

Jack Graham aura is somehow still shining off the 2017 GF imo.
He has barely dominated an AFL game since - 5 years of average performances - will never be an A-Grader.
We'll always love him for his efforts with a popped shoulder in the 2019 prelim but that doesn't make him a great footballer.
He's an honest workhorse but has no weapons besides endurance.
In Banks, Brown, Collier-Dawkins, Mansell, Soldo and Stack.
Out Aarts sub, Castagna, Dow, Edwards, Graham, Riewoldt and Ross.
B Miller Tarrant Broad
HB Mansell Vlastuin Rioli
C Collier-Dawkins Short Pickett
HF Ralphsmith Balta Bolton
F Sonsie* Lynch Baker
R Soldo Stack Prestia
I/C Banks* Brown* Cotchin Nankervis
Sub Edwards.
TBC Gibcus, Grimes and Lambert.
Won't happen but hope it does with all of the above ready for a fight and with the necessary speed and skill, to cancel our chaos mentality.

It's a big occasion game, would be surprised if we drop any of our experienced brigade.
In: McIntosh, Stack
Out: Parker, Ralphsmith

Three key midfield suppliers for the Dees, Langdon, Trac, Oliver.
Tackle hard and make them pay.
Again, we must always have one defender zone behind Fritsch.
He marks from behind, he is similar to Dogs' Picken in the 2016 GF.
Miller running through Fritsch would lift the young fella's confidence.
The Dees are my most hated team this year.
Dees and daylight.

Most satisfying aspect of this year would be to see the Dees denied a B2B.
We are coming to the business end of the opening stanza of the year.
No more Mr Mediocrity.

Had a look at the VFL.
Stack, Rioli and RCD were impressive.
I have been a major critic of RCD but he was solid.

Think he was a very good role player when we were up , providing a lot of run , defensive work ,and general grunt work ,
But now the shine has gone off the more skilled players , he isnt going to become that style of player all of a sudden and his limitations probably become more obvious
we will need two ruckmen, bring back Soldo. having Balta playing forward and then ruck, won't work at melbourne. I rather have both Lynch and Balta working themselves up and down the forward line, spreading their defence.
MJ Rioli to pay only in the forward 50 arc. At the feet of Lynch, Balta, Jack, Soldo or whoever. Harass, Rove, crumb, tackle. No flying with the pack. Strict instructions. Just do it!
I love anyone with the name Rioli, in honour of Maurice.
But MJ isnt ready to play 4 quarters in the seniors IMO. Although his fitness seems pretty good in the ressies, I've been pleasantly surprised.
The age and slowness of our current team (Lynch and Jack both struggling, Cotch, Shedda, Graham etc), means we cant carry a young, burst player who hasnt got 4 Qtrs in him - especially against the Dees.
If anything, I'd change it up (what do we have to lose maybe?), with a Cumberland power forward type and/or Clarke - who whilst young, seems to have excellent endurance. I'd also throw in another mid RCD and see if he can do anything to save his footy career.
