Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Geelong in Hobart

[gerry101101]

Only reason he’s in is as a result of 2 forced outs and we have no one else.

In: Harris
Out: Biden (managed/concussion protocols)

 

[King Hansen]

after 1 game back?
which was after 2 months off?

Nice counting

 

[Hotham FC]

Shame Colby won’t get the chance to put on a show at “home”. Still gets another chance vs Eagles.

The 6 day break was probably too tight a turnaround for the 3 outs - hopefully nothing more sinister.

We will probably get another look at him before season's end. He has been struggling to break into our forward line for whatever reason (haven't seen much of him in the VFL this year but I hear he's been pretty good?). I wouldn't be surprised to see him come in for Hansen Jr if the latter has another quiet game.

Man RHJ imo was pretty good in his first match this year besides kicking a goal he moves well and puts himself in good positions, he just needs more game time to build his confidence and he’ll be really effective as a loose crumbing forward

Agreed, definitely seems like a confidence thing to me. I'd give him a run at it.

Well no, could have had Bergman

 

[Caracas]

If he doesn't see this as his greatest opportunity yet to make something of his career then he is beyond saving. I've been a Stevo believer in the past and I'd love to see him contribute to the team.

We are now winning the ball more. All he needs to do is to perform a “cherry on top” role. If he can’t manage that, we will need to move past him.

 

[danj]

Off to Hobart

 

[amaz199]

McKercher isn’t ‘injured’ - he’s sore

Nup that's it now we need to complain about Curnow tackling him. Clearly went too far with the tackle efforts and cost us as a result.

I'm going to complain on SEN tomorrow and make sure everyone knows about it. Carlton's culture is absolutely disgusting. Shameful tactics.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Reckon Harvey a bit stiff thought he's been more consistent last few weeks compared to duursma and actually has some form of intensity.. hopefully Duursma is able to play how he was playing start of season

 

[year of the roo]

Well no, could have had Bergman

Pretty damning that he still can't crack a game with Fisher, Colby and Goater all injured. He needs to get the **** on with it.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Is it a bit obvious to hope Zane plays off the half back and accumulates and distributes with poise and grace?

Could well happen if Stevo falls flat down back. Swap them either end?

 

[Hotham FC]

All of the sudden HBF has become the hardest position to crack into. This week’s starting 18 has 6-7 that can roll through there. Hopefully competition for those spots sees him go to the next level.

 

[nicko74]

What is wrong with McKercher?

Eh, i'd say more some of the sudden, part of the sudden, even.

 

[R00StaR]

Cats gonna lose another one of their lives for 24.

 

[kool kangas]

Surely if Comben plays forward again then Corr goes to Cameron. Cameron is to mobile for Logue to take. Logue stays on Neale and McDonald goes to Rohan with Sheezel going forward and Stephenson goes back with Tucker also going back.

 

[Nylex]

Hoping so. Has he missed a game since his debut?

I can’t re call Sheez missing a game yet. He’s amazing, getting plenty of hard knocks in the middle this season as well. Hopefully it’s not anything serious

 

[big_e]

And the umpires are>>>>>> da!da!

Robert Findlay (23), Andre Gianfagna (27), Martin Rodger (37), Harrison Birch (40

Prepare to be Rodgered.

And against Hawthorn. He'd probably say that's his home game, he's from Launceston.

 

[Nylex]

Disappointed with the 3 outs. All 3 have been very good since the bye.
Colby and Fish help to get the ball moving from the back half with their dash and foot skills. Maybe Powell could be creative off half back, and WillPhill could slot into the guts.

They're injured or sore, can't do much about that. Forced changes.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

We definitely lack some class and kicking off halfback without Colby and Fish back there. You'd think Stepho plays there after doing it in the VFL and maybe we move Scott back to half back this week to give a bit more run?
