Training For Redemption in 2022

[RobsJourney]

Aarts was sub so he wasn't in the 22 last week so doesn't help with outs.

For me:

In: Ross, Bauer, MRJ
Out: Gibcus, Edwards, Dow

Edwards sub.

We can't possibly bring in Soldo and Bauer. I'd rather Bauer or Ryan.

Dow didn't play.

I think we'll go with the backup ruckman and one will rest forward to at least have a target.

For mine...

OUT: Gibcus, Miller (stiff but Balta to go back), Edwards
IN: Soldo, Ross, MRJ


Grimes, Tarrant, Broad
Vlastuin, Balta, D. Rioli
McIntosh, Cotchin, Pickett
Bolton, Soldo (resting), Ralphsmith
Cumberland, Riewoldt, MRJ

Nankervis, Prestia, Graham

Baker, Short, Ross, Sonsie


Not a terrible side all things considered, and probably the best back 6/7 we're gonna put on the park.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Dow didn't play.

True

In that case I would be dumping one of McIntosh or Ralphsmith. I would keep Miller in.

Who plays on the wing then?

 

[BrisTiger24]

Who plays on the wing then?

Marlion and whoever survives of McIntosh or Ralphsmith. McIntosh has had a couple of Castagna's in a row so I would personally opt for Ralphsmith over McIntosh.

Who plays there when they are off? You need 3 capable of playing on the wing and that includes Hugo.

You are trying to mess with the entire structure of the team to accommodate Miller. He's not good enough to have the structure of the team changed around him. If there is a spot in defence for him fair enough, if we move Balta back then Miller will drop out.

 

[caesar]

What about Sonsie and Hugo? I count one too many players in the 26-man squad vs last week.

In: Soldo M.Rioli Bauer Ross
Out: Gibcus Aarts Dow

Yes I didn't mention them as I considered them automatic selections this week.

 

[caesar]

Apologies for my naivety with training protocols, but does Captain's Run usually mean starting 22 plus emergencies only?

Yes to that question

 

[kyuss]

I think with kamdyn a bit out of form, he would make a perfect sub. Can fill a few positions if need be.

Captains Run today:

Bauer Miller Soldo Mansell Samson Ryan JNR Shedda at Captains Run
No Aarts Gibcus Castagna

Was balta training back again? And if so who from our backs went forward? Miller or Ralphsmith i'd assume?

I reckon they play Balta forward again, Miller Tarrant Grimes Broad tall enough down back especially with Lobb out

 

[caesar]

Could play Balta as relief ruck, resting forward.

Yes that is what we may see even though we have gone with two rucks, at the Captains Run Noah was doing some rucking work on the impact bag with Nank, Soldo and Ryan.

 

[caesar]

Nank was spending a lot of time forward, Gibcus and Balta back.
I am thinking Gibcus, (shoulder is strapped), needs a spell in VFL his last 3 games have been poor.
Surprised how little Dusty did today, Lynch looking further along.
Soldo, Ross and Syd are back and look available for selection at whatever level they are chosen.
Soldo comes in to allow Nank to spend some time forward, (not sure that works it hasn't before).
Ross for Aarts should be a no brainer.
Not sure what small forward set up we go with, Baker didn't really work last week, need to crank up the pressure index regardless.

That's about it @AstuteTiger

And 2 days later the news is in as to why

Dustin Martin injury update

Dustin Martin has had a set back in his recovery from a hamstring strain.

Even the announcement sounds odd.
Will update us when necessary?
Vague at best.

CAPTAINS RUN TODAY

All present and accounted for at the Captains Run but a 27th member was added to 26 man squad, (Josh Gibcus).
Hopefully not because one of our other defenders is under an injury cloud?

Maybe Miller, after his near death experience last week?

Do you know if Short or Baker was training back? I’m assuming one will go back with Ralphsmith out

All backs seemed to be moving ok but time will tell.

Looking at the named team it looks like Short will go back.
