I don’t think it’s rocks but the fact that our selectors have done it before

For example in the Second Semi against Melbourne we played Cerra, Hewett and Kennedy but made Ollie the sub

and then in the Prelim against Brisbane we played Cerra, Hewett and Ollie and made Kennedy the sub

And Hewett has been the sub before too - so barring injuries I expect each of Hewett, Kennedy and Ollie to be sub in the coming months

Good points, I just hate to mess with a winning formula however we must continually evolve to improve. In other words, Ive got no ****ing idea . There's a reason I never made it in coaching and team management.

The good times.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Ouch for them. This could get very ugly for the Tiggers.

We have a good decade or so of being trounced by them to return the favour

The injury reports looks as though Hopper and Prestia should be back, but still we should get a good win..

 

[BigFrizz36]

Hes in a bottom 2 team. I think he's missed games. I think that actually implies his threat is high.doing what he's doing with no help.

He's missed one game.

 

[Accidental genius]

Hopefully Bolton

I nice old shirt front would be awesom

 

[teagueyubeauty]

We have rocks in our head if we relegate either Kennedy or Hewett to sub. I want Cerra in but neither of those two deserve to be sub, lets not ruin the fabric we are building.

We start managing our list now the injured are coming back, very happy to do that via the sub but I’d like to see Walsh, TDK and Crippa managed for a full week sometime between now and end of home and away season.
Those 3 in the form they’re currently in would be amazeballs in the finals, can see Crippa winning the Gary Ayres medal if he’s much fitter than he was at the business end of last season and Walsh trying to emulate his first finals series efforts and TDK play the way he is right now

isnt that the same as a "Five year plan"?

They actually had an ECO thread on their Board years ago.

I honestly think Cerra should come back via the 2s. He has never been good first up and the chances of re injury are huge with him so a change of approach could be well justified.

Over our first 8/9 games of footy, most of the team looked like they were running in quicksand/heavy legs. There’s a really stark change now(whether it’s because we have a few more key players back and allows more rotation)as we seem to be really running well across the ground with a lot more penetration when we kick the ball as well. Just overall look alot sharper

Hmmmm…

@extend Jack Russell!

More so I don't think Fantasia makes a much better sub than Durdin would.

Ollie would be better in that role I think.

We need Ollie's two way running on the wing. He does so much good defensive work that goes unnoticed. This would mean that Walsh would get shifted to the wing. Walsh's skillset is so much more valuable in the centre. Putting him into Ollie's role would be a terrible waste of one of our most damaging players and create a massive problem in our transition defence.

Agree on all points. The fact we’re talking about depth is great but I dont want to start throwing onballers on the wing, or midfielders onto the half forward line. The structure is working at the moment, let’s not ruin that to bring in the “names.”

 

[katmanblue]

Cez for Fantasia and shift Fantasia to sub. Cez and Walsh to Wax with the Cotters role. Remember when we were on a roll last year Walsh often started on the forward flank and just pushed up and played as an extra mid. Plenty of things we can do to accommodate playing Cez. If we win the next 3 I’m all for giving both TDK and Cripps a rest before the season is out. Of all our group these are the two we need to be fresh AF leading into the big dance.

Rather have an impact player as sub

I am a huge Fogs fan but competition for spots is crazy when/if all fit in coming weeks.

He was pretty quiet Friday night and if he was to have another couple of quiet ones Jack martin will be all over his spot.

Same can be said for Olie and Cotts.

Durds for Mots on the cards.

Fantasia IMO will not be in our best 23.

Marchy was BOG in the twos so Kemp/Cow need to keep performing well.

It is such a healthy state of affairs and how it has to be for a side that is contending for the Cup.

Our pressure wins us games. Fog is the king of pressure.

Good ole Mario.

Have a look at how easily the cats ran the ball out of our forward line the first time we played versus how much they struggled to last weekend. Fog is not the only difference between the two games but he is a major reason why for the difference.

It would take a huge reversal in form for Fog to be under any threat.
