Preview Changes for the Prelim v Port Adelaide - Sat @7:40

[Martyn_30_]

It’s just madness that we didn’t get 10 games into sweet early in the year so he’s primed to be ready for a big final like tonight and next week. How are we seriously persisting with Young over him? I just can’t comprehend it.

It was a clear mistake to not bring him in late in the year, but it would be madness to bring him in now.

I agree mate. But I just can’t work out why Bevo didn’t back him in?

 

[huddo#9]

Outs: flea, roarke (30% by foot this week, 14% last week)
Ins: JJ, Richards, Wallis(Sub)

 

[AFDogs]

Out:

In:

On Betfair. Surely if Bont is cleared our odds firm a bit

Because he values what a ruckman does outside of the ruck contest far more than the ruck itself.

What’s Lewis young offered us off the footy that makes up for his mediocre ruck work? I’d say not much at all.

 

[doggie dog]

Yes, Young was shown up, thankfully English stood up ok,
Treloar will be lucky to hold his spot

Lewy gave it a crack all game, didn't drop his head.
There is literally no way Timmy halves the ruck contest without Lewy's effort.
Plus off the ball he ran the Big O around.
Don't trust me ask the supporters at the game

 

[perro_loco]

I received a message from someone inside (that I trust and who would know) who says that the Bont has an impact injury that will not prevent him from playing next week.

Sorry, but how do you define "an impact injury"? Is that a knock? Let me know Mutt. Thanks.

Nah, bet we end up well past $3

 

[Virgin Dog]

I just don't get Treloar's lack of output.

He is surely being instructed to float around packs inside of winning ground balls. Just baffling how little hunger he had at the ball today. Also wouldn't shock me if he's still not 100% as he didn't seem to hit full pace at all tonight. The offseason should do him well but I'm not optimistic he'll do too much this finals series

(Now fingers crossed for the Norm Smith to prove me wrong)

What were our odds for the GWS prelim in ‘16?

 

[perro_loco]

No way Roarke comes out, put his body on the line all night. VDM out for Garcia. Other than that Bevo will stick with what he has.

No way VDM is out. Hero of the match. Created a goal and won us the game. Put a fair bit of pressure in a pretty tough backline. doubt the mc drop him. Young, doubt he will be dropped. No other replacement. UNCHANGED IF NO INJURIES

 

[dergert]

So how did Bevo rule Weightman out next week?

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

We won the clearances didn’t we? Why all the Lewy Young hate?

 

[huddo#9]

No way Roarke comes out, put his body on the line all night. VDM out for Garcia. Other than that Bevo will stick with what he has.

Is useless with the football unless he has a clear target in front of his eyes. Cost the dogs 3+ goals tonight purely from his panic. Not up to it. Has no weapons, can't tag, has a crack but is a liability in finals footy.

 

[The Inbetweener]

We won the clearances didn’t we? Why all the Lewy Young hate?

4 of their first 7 goals were from centre clearances

 

[Anja_Nees]

English was actually solid in the ruck and didn’t do a whole lot forward. Don’t know where it ended but at one point in the third quarter we were leading hitouts to advantage

It’s going to be interesting. You could bring an extra small and let Schache ruck a little. Otherwise you back Young in and hold your breath.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

It only gets harder from here with Lycett and Gawn type rucks remaining too.

 

[Some Idiot]

He belted Zach Merrett after Merrett got one of our guys, I thought that was pretty good

Port $1.44

Pretty crazy price given we’ve beaten them over there and only lost by 2 points 3 games ago.

 

[Merlins Revenge]

So, has Weightman definitely been ruled out yet? Apparently according to Tom Morris he has been with concussion. Bevo said ‘Most likely’. Anyone have any idea?

 

[CarnTheScray]

Hope Treloar is ok

Does not seem right physically and maybe mentally right now

 

[jdz101]

I just don't get Treloar's lack of output.

Wrong position...he just isn't a small forward and he's getting no time in the guts.
