Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 4 vs. WCE. Sat 09/04, 4:35pm MRVL

How many games has Cameron tipped - ever?

Definitely won us a game against Melbourne last year.

 

[domus]

Cameron was average but where is this Cox love coming from? His performance against the Saints was worse.

I think Cox causes defenses to panic more than Cameron with his extra height. Cameron had a poor start but finished okay. Cameron was being outmarked early and having no impact but I didn't hear abuse or calls for him to make a contest. That seems to be reserved for Coxy.

 

[TradeDraft]

Guess Johnson can come in play his Postion

 

[manicpie]

In: Ash Jonson and Cox

Out: Henry and Cameron

 

[whiskeytown]

@Chrispiesssss… you seem to think Cox is greatly superior to Cameron but the stats this year

Just don’t show it…

Either way, neither of them are forwards… they are ruck forwards… an there is a distinction between those two roles and the expectations that should be placed on them

Moreover, whether it’s cox or Cameron… both will benefit if they bring in Johnson next week and revert to a 3 tall forward structure

We were one tall short last night. The extra tall in the first half could’ve taken some heat off D Cameron and mihocek… and reinforced the backline in the last quarter

Johnson or Krueger seem perfect for that role. Able to impact at both ends

A week for that. LOL.

 

[sideswipe]

A week for that. LOL.

If that gets a week then so will every other dangerous tackle for the rest of eternity. Jon Ralph is Jon Ralph.

Was about to say...

Their team sheet for today looks atrocious. I don't even recognise half of them. I'm sure they'll be full strength for next week.

I'm torn... On the form we've seen the last 2 weeks we will smash them. But I have to remind myself about how young and inexperienced we are...

 

[Cobalt King]

Jon Ralph being a flog what a surprise, I think the commentary sums it up best "De Goey's tackle is terrific"

 

[Aussie pie]

Going forward the forwards will be Begg, Freddy, AJ and checkers. Begg playing the 2nd ruck/forward role. Freddy the power forward. Checkers the Gunston like role and AJ the unpredictable can turn a game in a minute role. Not sure where that leaves Henry.

And hopefully their skills are rusty and they're not up to the pace of the game.

 

[Rozzahh]

Bianco has been very poor

Very true, but I reckon he has more up-side than some of these others on the outer.

 

[sr36]

Guess Johnson can come in play his Postion

Should get off. It's only dangerous when you have the arms pinned so the player can't stop their head hitting the turf. But not sure if that's how they are adjudicating it.

 

[TradeDraft]

So Could be:

IN: Wilson Johnson

OUT: WHE De Goey(Suspended)

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

If you think WHE should be dropped ahead of Henry then you must be Henry

At least WHE is good below his knees and holds marks

Henry doesn’t - yet

This year is about getting games into the kids. We need to expose guys like Henry to as much senior footy this year as possible. If it came down to winning games this year or fast tracking the development of youth on our list, l'm taking the development route...

 

[Matrix10]

Out Madgen. Grundy. In. Johnson. Begg

 

[snagbreac]

Out Madgen. Grundy. In. Johnson. Begg

Stupid. Begg would be a lot worse than Grundy. He's not playing bad football, we just have much higher expectations. If we played him forward, he would kick goals.

 

[Kappa]

Guess Johnson can come in play his Postion

Oh no... He won't be eligible for the Brownlow? I'm just praying he makes the top 5 in the BnF for the first time ever.

Oops!: Crisp claims his first E. W. Copeland Trophy

 

[anshell]

You wouldn’t think DeGoey would go for that,The player’s side hit the ground and there was no head contact with the ground at all.There’s something wrong with the game if he goes for that,

Facts never stopped Kappa from a good sook

 

[magpie_marty]

Was not at the ground and only watched on TV,
My question is was Adams good or bad?

 

[No SPIN]

Out Madgen. Grundy. In. Johnson. Begg

The sad thing is you’re actually serious.

 

[Matrix10]

The sad thing is you’re actually serious.

Now DeGoey copping a week for that tackle , no consistency from the AFL. His arms were not pinned
