Hollands went around in the Magoo's.....

Hollands went around in the Magoo's.....

Reckon he will stay there a bit longer.

Binns head of him atm

 

[Benaly28]

Someone on the port board described the midfields as Ferraris v Commodores us being the later…..I thought that was fully sick bro.

Can young continue next week with the same role he played today? Thought he was useful rucking and in general play around the ground.

If a ruck is back. JSOS as a utility and Young as second ruck/swing-man.

 

[jj1978]

Hollands should play out the year in the VFL unless cotters or acres are out.

 

[TENACIOUS]

IN: Dow, Marchbank, Binns
OUT: Kennedy, McGovern, Hewett

 

[Accidental genius]

Yeah I wouldn’t be confident if young went back to defense.

 

[ctwenty1]

Hollands should play out the year in the VFL unless cotters or acres are out.

Agree- body just isn’t ready yet, still a kid. Like his game though, just needs size

 

[DirtyLeeds]

Bam Bam out; McGov precautionary; Hewitt because there are Glaciers that move more quickly.......

TDK
Binns
Cowan all in

JSOS to defence
Young back up ruck
Cowan the sub

 

[katmanblue]

Dow in for Kennedy
Tdk for Young
Cowan in if McGovern doesn't get up
I'll be annoyed if Hewett comes in for Kennedy
As I think well be to slow
Binns deserves a game to

Prepare to be annoyed.

Unfortunately i know that
Hewett makes us so slow

 

[Juddrockz]

Please no young to defence the defence has never looked better since he’s been up the ground Marchy in for Gov thanks

Agree,Young needs to stay out of Weiters realm.

 

[Revenant1965]

Out: Kennedy (inj), most likely McGovern (inj - bad corkie
Ins: we have real options (and that's a nice change from the past).

 

[RAPPA]

Gov and MK hurt in terms of disrupting a nice team balance. At least, though, we have cover for both.

 

[Arr0w]

Hewett replacing Kennedy doesn't make us slower

Our ball movement (being more selfless), has been the best mindset shift and our higher press/pressure as a unit is now reaping forward half turnovers resulting in more sustainable scoring

I think Hewett adds to the above

Think the days of poor defensive players and or not willing to adjust are long gone

 

[Benaly28]

People we have cover just need to play their roles nothing more.

[Bletch]

Think we have a better plug and play mentality at the moment

While I have been critical of Young's lack of aggression, thought he competed well today

He and Jack were probably more of a presence around the ground than we've had from either Pitto or TDK all year.

Ferraris are a waste of money on Aussie roads. Give me a VF wagon any day.

 

[Mondyboy]

Dow is coming back from concussion. We don’t know if he’s capable of playing.

I’d keep it simple and bring in Hewett and TDK for Kennedy and Gov. Play Binns as the sub - he deserves a game.

Young can play second ruck and let JSOS either play back or up forward or where the fudge he wants.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Think we'll stay with like for like changes depending on availability.
Hewett for Kennedy
Marchbank for McGovern (if required)
TDK/Pittonet for Young/SOS (if available)

 

[Ald Gardiner]

I’d rather Dow than Hewett but we all know it’s never happening.

As long as it’s not MK and Hewett in the same 22 I can live with that

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Hope like hell gov gets up for starters.

Don’t know who to bring in for Kennedy?
Do we bring Dow in if he’s cleared?
Do we give the job to hewett?
Do we move doc more into the middle and bring in Cowan of binns to replace doc role?

We’ve gotta really be onto butters and the rose for this one

 

[Skull Face]

In: Dow, Plowman, Binns (sub)
Out: Hewett, McGovern, Kennedy.

Opportunity to play the kids in a game that arguably we can lose and still make the 8. Win however, and we will be in 8 after the west coast game.

You arent playing finals with 11.5 wins and with geelongs % 12.5 probably isnt realistic either. I have adelaide missing with 12 wins 11 losses only way that changes is if st kilda drop the ball.

Finals are gone imo, would take some sort of miracle of us going 5-2 or 6-1 when we have 3 games against top 4 opposition to come.

I see us beating melb and Coll either way.

 

[BlueLocke]

If it’s a corked quad, a light week on the track might be enough for McGovern to get up for next weekend - they’re not as bad as the hip/buttocks corks. You can push through them once you loosen up a bit.

If he doesn’t, would prefer to bring in Marchbank or Plowman - Port have Dixon, Finlayson and Marshall all playing well and a dedicated defender is needed for each.

Young can keep the ruck role - he’s playing with confidence and, weirdly, Weitering has been much better since he left the backline.

Their backline is suspect (Jonas will come in and he is an absolute liability one-on-one) - play that same aggressive transition game we’ve shown the past month and we can absolutely win.
