Who comes out for him when he’s declared fit on Sunday morning???

Owies or Motlop??

He may just be the sub.

 

[F_therest]

Cmon guys if Hewett was likely they'd name him and pull him out late, not the other way around.

We almost never pull a late out yet people bring it up every week.

 

[Blue Chip Pass]

Happy with the team.
Go get them Blues.

Especially with back concerns, I wouldn't use him as a sub

Crikey I’m feeling the nerves.

We are going to have to do it ourselves.

Hawks have put the cue in the rack, they're playing 2 midfield debutants against the Doggies midfield...

 

[Yubby]

I wonder if they might have JSOS tag N Daicos. He's certainly done tagging before and had some success (Fyfe) with it. Would definitely be an interesting pairing if it happens when JSOS isn't in the ruck.

If we are going to go with a dedicated tag I don't see us picking someone who will have to switch into the ruck every 15 minutes or so.

I don't mind this, if he is genuinely on the borderline of being able to play. Either he gets to play part of the game which we think he could handle (if not 100% of the game), or he gets another two weeks break before first final.

 

[charred_fate]

Physically strong team. I like it. Not ruling George out yet - even a smokey for sub imo

 

[azlou]

I’m happy Stoker and Motlop are playing
I hope they manage Williams minutes use him in bursts

 

[Yubby]

If we are going to go with a dedicated tag I don't see us picking someone who will have to switch into the ruck every 15 minutes or so.

I considered that and think it will be a combination of players with JSOS at least half the game. This way if Daicos goes in the middle JSOS can go with him. Otherwise i don't see any of our small forwards having the match awareness to really impact him.

 

[Juice030103]

Doc BOG incoming

 

[windows1]

Based on that lineup you would assume 1 of Docherty and Setterfield will remain in the onball rotation and the other will play wing. I would assume Setters will play wing as he has spent more time there this year.

Walsh to wing

 

[windows1]

If rhis 22 plays it’s the best side we’ve played all year.

Very low level of fumbling in the side this week. Very good two way running- the best of the season.

I expect Walsh to play a full game on the wing. Cotts too. Centre four of Doc, Setters, Cerra and Crippa. One of Setters and Doc to run with JDG and the other to watch Pendles.

I expect our smalls to rotate watching Nick Daicos.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Walsh to wing

No chance no matter how often people on this forum say it. He is our best or 2nd best mid. You don't put your 1-2 best onballer on the wing.

 

[Jimmae]

Strongly disagree with dumping O'Brien, who was a big part of us being able to sustain pressure in open midfield in the first half.

Emergency. Leaving it to the last day

Bingo. Though this perhaps sets the stage for Saad to miss.

JSOS isn't the right match up, Daicos is small and quick. Can't compare to Fyfe. Gotta be Durdin.

 

[Blues_1864]

The sub would have to be Newnes, and that's OK. I'm not sure we could have done much more, in the circumstances.

I am not convinced that Williams with a 15-week layoff offers more than a match-fit Newnes, but I guess this way, we sort of get both.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Diamonds are made under pressure.

Most important game in a decade. 90k+ packed crowd.

About to find out alot about who stands up to the pressure and shines this weekend.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Where players are named means 0. He will play defence.

Dennis Armfield rule

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Now the teams are in it is almost a bit like the calm before the storm. Nerves have definitely kicked in.

Expecting something a bit funky in the side, maybe Cerra a surprise out to the wing to keep Doc and Setters in the middle. Hope Zac is ready to go.

We play our best, we win.
Cmon you baggers! See you at the G.

 

[cookie monster]

Lots to like about selection:

Cerra back
LOB dropped, would struggle under the pressure and physicality
Newnes out, Williams a big upgrade regardless of condition
Kept Stocker in the team

If George available would like to see him in for Motlop. If that happens, it's our strongest side of the year.

Want to see Cerra on the wing, setters stays centre.

This is going to be a battle for the ages

 

[El Topo]

brilliant changes... it's the hope that kills you

Fumbles spot on that’s what I like about Stoker,Cerra and Motlop
