6 Changes :-

 

[Blue1980]

Yeah even the returning players who are "right to go" are still gonna be nowhere near match fit, coming in to play in a crunch away elimination final. And we'll have about 5 of them

None of Charlie, Harry, Williams, gov or Boyd have missed more than 2 games. No real issue with match fitness there.

Ones with match fitness issues would be TDK, Martin (as he never plays matches to be match fit), Doc and Marchy if we wanted to go with him for some odd reason.

I guess Cerra would too, but I assume he isn't in the picture.

 

[TheReal99prelim]

On paper Young should be a good matchup for Hipwood. He's been pretty good defensively lately...sill shaky with ball in hand but if he can shut Hipwood out I'll take that.

Not going to disagree. That's why I called it unlucky

I'd have no qualms with dropping Motlop (who I said was on his last chance) but thought with Durdin possibly injured and Owies possibly suspended, we may need Motlop

 

[Blue1980]

I dont expect TDK to be ready by next Friday

How about next Saturday?

 

[Revenant1965]

Just wondering... I am one of those who hope Young can take that next step with consistency/ game involvement. Last 2 weeks have been good. However, my perception is that both Daniher and Hipwood don't mind getting on their bike upfield, and forward line is also open to their collection of small forwards. If Gov is good to go, does that mean Young will be an out?

 

[ctwenty1]

How about next Saturday?

That extra day could make a difference

Dont think he makes the elimination final tbh

I think he is the 6th most likely in after Mckay, Curnow, TDK, Williams and Boyd.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Who else were you playing instead?

Lemmey (first and foremost), Wilson or even Monahan.

Yeah I'm not sold on that (for everyone except Gov) - their last game was August 11, so will be pretty much a full month between runs.

I think Young has to play really. Wont work having a Kemp or Gov on Daniher/Hipwood.

Defence has worked fine last 2 weeks with him there. Hopefully it can again.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Lions midfield is humming along , the addition of Ashcroft is noticeable.
If they’re unchecked and supply Joe, Eric & Charlie too , it will be a very tough game.

you clearly didn't watch the Drug Cheats' game....

 

[Blue1980]

Yeah I'm not sold on that - their last game was August 11, so will be pretty much a full month between runs.

Williams August 18. I am not too concerned, I don't think playing this week instead of next week would help the guys who have been out.

Ideally no one was injured at all, but my point still stands it isn't like we are bringing a whole bunch in who haven't played in months.

Boyd did a good job in the prelim last year after having not played for a couple of months. Lets hope for the best.

Boyd is not even a walk up start in the best of times.

Would not be considering him frankly.

Oh yep forgot Williams played vs West Coast soz

I am a fan of Boyd, but having Binns on a wing and Ollie back has worked a treat last 2 weeks. So maybe leave that as is. Boyd wouldn't be a bad sub actually.

This is the back six from the opening Round.

[17] Brodie Kemp ,[33] Lewis Young ,[42] Adam Saad
HB
[11] Mitch McGovern ,[24] Nic Newman ,[6] Zac Williams

Boyd was the 7th defender.

Take Young out and put Weitering in seems to be the logical move. We now have Cincotta, Cowan and O Hollands in the mix. Will Kemp stay forward? I can see a scenario where Young plays.

Confirmed? Can't find it being reported anywhere.

But yeah thats pretty insane if true

 

[Rustica]

Just booked flight and accommodation

Return flights for Sunday were ridiculous but got lucky with Jetstar adding a new flight for $125 as I refreshed. Now its at $550.

Go Blues!

 

[muzza99]

How about next Saturday?

When does this Saturday become next Saturday?....because really, the next Saturday is less than a week away. Just putting it out there.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

The Big O copped a dirty elbow in the ribs from Merrett.

Was down for a fair while...

Cracked ribs perhaps. Watch...

 

[The Sultan]

Confirmed? Can't find it being reported anywhere.

But yeah thats pretty insane if true

thats the AFL's, we wanted Freo to make the finals loading

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Cmon mate, they’re not even close to being consistently in the best at VFL level
