Preview Changes for the Mighty Dogs into the Grand Final

[SayerTheCreator]

Tough calls going into the biggest game of the year

Out: VDM, Cordy, Roarke

In: Weightman, Keath, Scott

That last one isn’t a call I’d make easily, Roarke has been pretty good the past few weeks but was a liability tonight and we can’t carry that into a Granny.

 

[badkicking]

Roarke,s problem is he doesn't react quickly enough

 

[Timewillcome]

Seen it mentioned a few times across threads. Can't see Roarke out. He's been very important at times this finals series and deserves his place.

Injury might see VDM out.

Scott for Weightman.

Keath comes in obviously. Tough job for selection coming up.

 

[zucvv]

VDM just hamstring tightness, still a chance 2 weeks away.

 

[TMoney22]

Keath for Cordy
Weightman for Scott

Roarke the medi sub

 

[ossie_21]

Weightman for VDM (unlucky, but has too much hammy history)
Keath for Scott

Roarke sub

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Geez it's tough Keath and Weightman need to come in.

Guess it's Cordy and Vanders (inj) that come out. Scott to sub again.

 

[BEaston]

Keath for Cordy.

Weightman is an automatic in, but deciding who comes out is harder. Roarke and VDM probably the only candidates. I liked VDMs energy early tonight. Roarke made some mistakes, but also did a few good things.

I do really like our wing rotation at the moment and if Roarke were to come out, it probably forces Bailey Smith

into more wing minutes. I'd be somewhat loathe to do that at the moment, as he's really found another gear playing forward more over the last few weeks.

For that reason, it would probably be VDM for Cody for me.

 

[Struggle]

Whatever Bevo decides. Anyone getting dropped would be extremely stiff

I will melt either way because that seems to generate wins

 

[BEaston]

Weightman for VDM (unlucky, but has too much hammy history)
Keath for Scott

Roarke sub

Don't think we'll need all of Cordy, Keath, Wood and Gardner down back, do you?

 

[ossie_21]

I’d ask Cordy to do a defensive forward job on Lever, rather then Hannan. But it’s probably too late to do that for the only time this year (and since 2016 really), so maybe he will be unlucky.

Keath plays, simply

Schache showed how to do that tonight on Aliir. Does the job again.

 

[random__hero]

Gunna be a couple of unlucky boys

 

[Dogsman16]

Cody and Keath are automatic ins.

Currently I have Cordy and Rourke out for these 2.

 

[Igloo]

If Vandermeer is fit I would keep him in. His mistakes aren't as costly as Roarke's, and he's more of a threat around goals. It sucks, but Cody has to come back in, so someone needs to make way.
Cordy out for Keath.

 

[Merlins Revenge]

Man, this is a difficult one. Heart breaking stuff for those dropped. Agree that Vandameer is more dangerous than Roarke. Cody comes in for him. Keath to return.

Out: Roarke Smith

[Rookie]

Keath for Cordy
JJ must start, meaning Weightman will come in for either VDM or Roarke. Both would be unlucky to miss. I think VDM offers more, but it will be a very hard decision.

Scott a chance for sub as I'm not sure Roarke or VDM offer his versatility.

 

[lachy]

Don't get worked up, we are in the Grand Final against all odds.

Clearly Keath and Weightman are the obvious ins. Trust the match committee to work out the outs

[Snarls Barkley]

Out: Cordy, Vandermeer
In: Keath, Weightman

Keath and Weightman will come in. Think these are the unlucky ones to miss. Cordy played his role but think Gardner fits better, Vandermeer was good before he was subbed off, his pressure was fantastic, but I think JJ's last game and a half have been at a higher level and he should stay in. Would play VDM as the sub.

 

[Merlins Revenge]

Bevo saying Martin rolled his ankle in the game. He played out the match right? Even when we were far ahead? That has to be a good sign.

Bevo also said Keath will need the full two weeks to recover.

Everyone think both of them play?

I thought martin was done when he started limping on his heavily strapped calf. An ankle is relatively good news.

 

[adogsfan5]

Keath for Cordy
Weightman for VDM.

Both incredibly stiff and are gonna be shattered but that’s footy.

Interesting.

Tom Morris said he spoke to Chis Grant and was told Keath would have played tonight if it was a GF and he will definitely be right in two weeks.

Thoughts on Martin?
