Game Day 2023 Round 7 Discussion

[_Cerberus_]

Is the injury that has forced LDU out for this weekend, the same one that caused him to be a late withdrawal a couple of weeks back?

Just worried he might have one of those injuries that hang around and will hold him back ahead.

How likely will Alwyn Davey Jnr be Essendon's sub this week? Thoughts?

Needed to move Cogs into the mids to bolster the line due to Laird's improbability of playing.
Allows me to move Baker from M8 to M9 and E him (though it destroys my Johnson/Roberts loop).

This means Davey goes to F6 allowing me to take JVR or Pedlar. If Davey is sub than I guess it's JVR vs Johnson (swapping Cogs and Davey back)

View attachment 1673250

based on Heppell and Menzie being managed, suggests one of them is likely the sub. Davey listed as omitted so I think you are safe

Two people from the club have said he’ll play vs one journalist taking a guess that he won’t play, I’ll back that he’s fine and playing

Wasn't the first time a tight calf?
This one apparently a sore heel.

Two more unnecessary match clashes today.
Why can't they have a fixture that has the first match starting at 12pm, the second at 2.30pm, the third at 5pm, the night match in the East at 7.30pm and the match in the West at 10 pm (all AEST). That means the WA match would be played at prime time locally (8pm) and go to air in the East after the earlier night match was finished. All live, no clashes.

Nope. Heel injury. Did it last week. Was off the field for quite some time in the 3rd quarter last week. Came back on but wasn't much good.

Yep, Laird also a player the Pies would be putting a lot of time into so no rush in advising if he is out early. 50/50

Yeah thats what i was just about to post. Feeling more confident.

Anyone hoping for a decision today is not going to be happy.

no love for Ryan from a tiggers supporter

3 good games from Greene is he due for a low one? Ryan seems to be growing into the role

a few more hours to mull it over

The Tigers finally have a Ruckman back in Soldo so I think Ryan will spend more time up Forward personally I would play Greene on ground ahead of him.
The hawks have Lewis back so he will get the number 1 defender might free Fergus up a little bit more.

thanks hadn't considered all that. you've sold me

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Should I leave Ossie Baker or Ollie Hollands on the bench for laird cover?

Exhibit A: Tom Stewart
Exhibit B: Sam Docherty

Hollands has an easier match-up tbh.

 

[Jellyball]

Serong vc or dunkley?

 

[stevebbb]

Erasmus being the sub for a few weeks and dropping in price would be good. I reckon he'll get a solid stretch of matches in the 2nd half of the season.

 

[freddy mercury]

Have we all conceded that Laird won't be playing? Can we start confidently moving players around to avoid the 20 from pathetic Pou.

I'm personally taking it as a 50/50

Laird Chaos in here.
Non-Scoops-accredited 'journos' one-upping Scoopsroy and each other.
Clean up on aisle 5 in here, mate.
Shit is absolutely out of pocket.

Genuine 50/50 it seems. You got a journo reading between the lines (based on what he say at training, and what the coach said in his presser yesterday), but Laird and a couple of teammates said he's fine. He trained today, but was the first to stop. Which isn't unusual, if a player is battling something, they'll always have a light session. So I don't know what to make of it.

 

[guero]

At least Cowan won't lose cash this week (unless he is also sub lol).

Vossy said Kennedy will be sub.

Michael Voss believes the need to omit a player for them to be the sub is the craziest rule he's ever seen

Serong vc or dunkley?

Brisbane giving up lots of points to mids this year - back Serong in.
