Membrane emergency

Won't be sub

Gresham auditioning for a spot on the Carlton list?

Yes he played well last week after being dropped to sub, would bank on him playing his game of the season (although he has been poor)

 

[rf04]

And maybe Fish on the staints list.

Good swap for us. Maybe even mutually beneficial

 

[Aphrodite]

Won't be sub

Just had a quick look at your emergencies.

Who do you think will be Sub and or any late changes?

E	Liam Stocker	Jack Billings	Jack Hayes
	Tim Membrey

Team has a bit of speed about it,like it.

If Fish says he wants more midfiled time we’ll he’s never gonna get a better chance.

We’re definitely a defender down; I think Marchbank still allows us to play the 3 tall structure that’s been working but not sure what the plan is to cover the missing extra.

Assuming no late out, either Doc goes back and Cuningham, Fog, Fisher, etc. play increased midfield minutes or are we going to do something weird like player Fisher in the sweeping role across HBF he’s occasionally played in the VFL?

Just seem a defender short; would hate us to rob another position when everything has just clicked, but that’s the impact of injuries I suppose..

Could we play TDK back at times as the chop out 7th defender or if they load up with talls?

 

[HarryFlashman]

Not rapt with Fisher. I'm going to have to see some substance behind his pressure acts and tackling to be convinced he fits.

Now that he's in, back him in to play well.

Hopefully Fish comes in to swoop and break lines, with Cunners flying thru as well the movement could be scary if Crippa & Dow can feed them.

Billings or Stocker maybe Hayes.

Nah Max will play

 

[Aphrodite]

Billings or Stocker maybe Hayes.

Nah Max will play

Cheers

 

[Juddernaut08]

Billings or Stocker maybe Hayes.

Nah Max will play

What happened to Stocker? Seemed to be in good form most of the year.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Did he play full game as mid in VFL?

Pretty sure he's been racking up possessions, roaming loose in defence?

 

[HarryBeef]

What happened to Stocker? Seemed to be in good form most of the year.

Been dropped twice now

 

[Accidental genius]

Straight swap. We can even throw Plowman as a sweetner.

Would benefit us enormously that trade

 

[DougalHoward]

What happened to Stocker? Seemed to be in good form most of the year.

Windhager has taken his spot at half back, drop off in form.

Ross has mentioned him being a work in progress.

 

[HarryFlashman]

So Fish and Dow getting full games as midfielders? Interesting.

Hoping for the best but it doesn't instill confidence on paper.

Fish and Dow aren't the best runners or the strongest...quite a downgrade on Walsh and Cerra or Cerra and Doc.

Fish & Dow work well together, as long as Fish isn’t trying to win his own ball, they can cause some damage.
They played a few games in the 2s where they tore the game apart, Dow was getting him the ball into space far enough out side the contest that he had time to steady & deliver it well. Forward set up will be crucial, we need to make the forward line huge & present options, not be lazy & just sag towards Charlie.

WHO has advised artificial sweeteners are bad for you.

 

[thegreatbeast]

WHO has advised artificial sweeteners are bad for you.

Plowman is all sugar.

What happened to Stocker? Seemed to be in good form most of the year.

I remember when people on here were pissed we got rid of him.

I hope that both Fisher and Dow are able to come into the team and play a role for us, not expecting them to star. I have to admit that seeing both of them in the starting 22 doesn't inspire me with great confidence. I'll back the team as a whole to do it's job, not having to rely too much on individuals. Just play as we have been and we should be fine.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Weitering needs to be physical with King. He will want no part of it.


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Early body contact, don’t give him the chance to get a free run and jump at the incoming ball…

 

[Barry Davenport]

I really hope Fisher and Dow turn up and play well.

The lack of depth line has been trotted out by the media for too long.

Prove that we have what’s required.

 

[LanceRomance]

Wouldn't be surprised if Lyon isn't trying to goad us in to picking the extra tall, then switching out King for a small-mid late. Might be a bit of cat-and-mouse with late changes either way.

I would be upset if we were hunting them, rather than the other way around

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Interesting setup, going with 6 defenders plus Doc

Looks like Doc will play in front of the last line of defenders, Hollands, Acres, Cotts rotating wings

Cuners and Fish spending more time in the middle

But, still think Durdin comes in

Durdin can play both ends, if needed…

So do I, thought Fish was pretty much done & he hasn’t impressed me in the 2s. Hoping for a Mots like second coming - he’s been amazing since dropped.
