Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Sydney - Rd18

[Flawed Genius]

Welcome back George

 

[Sphynx]

Good god, the beast back into this midfield unit.

 

[The Nostradamus]

3 best 22 players should be ready to come back next game

Out: Scott, Dawson and shiels

In: Fisher, Logue and Wardlaw

 

[Roscoe]

To be fair I thought Scott was very good in the last qtr.

 

[Horizons_00]

To be fair I thought Scott was very good in the last qtr.

He was sensational

 

[Moti]

Take names out of it for a second, with George coming back, 1 mid has to come out.

Plus, Fisher back means that we might move Colby further up the field because despite his incredible play, he still struggles defensively and with physical contact.

And Sydney are skilled and fast, we can't carry Sheez, Powell, Jy and Will in that midfield next week.

To be fair I thought Scott was very good in the last qtr.

Noticeably better.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Taylor, Shiels or Stephens would be the likely ones to make way

 

[viccles]

Out: Taylor in Wardlaw. I don't know who for Logie

Kal Dawson would be incredibly hard done by to be dropped. He has been excellent.

Oh and of course pink out

Kal Dawson would be incredibly hard done by to be dropped. He has been excellent.

He’s been ok

Often goes third up but doesn’t impact

He’s good depth

 

[shintemaster]

For the first time in a very long time we are in danger of getting close to having to choose between a player contributing in a decent role and a player knocking down the door. Exciting times, if we can hold this form into the end of the season we will jag a few more and have a hell of story to sell to potential trades.

FWIW we have Wardlaw a certain in and presumably Logue a possibility. I'd probably be looking at Stephens, Taylor, Shiels and Pink. Most would feel a touch hard done if dropped and that's a good thing from a team point of view.

 

[justroyal]

Don’t think we can afford to not play Shiels atm

 

[shintemaster]

Don’t think we can afford to not play Shiels atm

I get ya, but I don't agree necessarily. We aren't playing for finals so if he needs to make way so someone younger can stake their claim so be it. FWIW I'd probably move him to the sub as unlike younger players he's not missing development if he barely touches grass for the day.

 

[Chadwiko]

Out: C. Taylor, D. Tucker
In: Fisher, Wardlaw

Exactly what I was just thinking about.

We're already there with the key backs. We have a good player coming back but nobody who even remotely deserves to be dropped.

 

[JGreezy]

IN: Wardlaw, Fisher

OUT: Stephens, Taylor

I don't know how to handle Logue's return. I guess Dawson out?

 

[DEVO]

OUT: Taylor, Stephens and Pink
IN: Wardlaw, Fisher and Logue.

McKercher goes to the wing, and Dawson up forward, he can at least kick goals from 50 metres out.

 

[Moti]

IN: Wardlaw, Fisher

OUT: Stephens, Taylor

I don't know how to handle Logue's return. I guess Dawson out?

Pink out, Charlie forward.

 

[shintemaster]

Pink out, Charlie forward.

I've been big on Chom forward but I think more likely to have Logue / Dawson as the swing at the moment. Let him build.

 

[The Dingrel]

Out: Stevens, Pink
In: Georgie, Griff

 

[Rod Stroker]

Out: Stevens, Pink
In: Georgie, Griff

yeah I think Pink is the obvious tall to make way for Log. Pink has been largely ineffective

 

[winalotroos]

Imagine having an issue with who we pick next week.

Out Steven’s, Pink, Taylor
In Wardlaw, Fisher & Griff

 

[shintemaster]

Pink a touch stiff as has been playing his role fine without massive impact - but I agree. He'd be the tall I'd change if Logue ready and no other tall changes. Kicked a pearler of a curling snap, confidence improving IMO.

 

[Twangler]

IN: Wardlaw, Fisher

OUT: Stephens, Taylor

I don't know how to handle Logue's return. I guess Dawson out?

Not that Pink has been at all bad, but one option would be to play Logue forward. Would be a shame to upset the mix of Comben Dawson and Corr. I’d still give Logue more time in the 2s though
