I honestly expected it from him though ! I knew he wouldn’t come out guns blazing after so many weeks off ! I might be wrong but was that the first time all year that we have had Rioli, Ryan, JK, JD and Lecra all together ?

If we can win a flag without Gaff, NN and Shep then WoWeee itd be pretty close to ranking higher than our previous 3 I reckon.

This is what happens when players stay on too long instead of retiring they just get judged on a few months of footy by guys like patfooty ..
I’m happy to see him play in all the finals game though

Shep for Schofield does make sense as the one change - he will allow us to free Gov or Barass or Hurn to intercept.
I wouldn’t completely discount Nelson coming in, especially if the dees win - he’s tough defensively & would back him in 1v1 over the mediums that Melbourne have.
Otherwise I wouldn’t make any changes.
DV struggled with the pace with ball in hand (very reminiscent of Shuey, actually) but his tackling pressure was very good and I think we are a better forward line with him in there.
Masten didn’t get much of it but was sent back to HB which obviously we would want to avoid. His gut run is important to us & I don’t think anyone else can replicate that right now.
Lecca stays in for mine, he takes a medium defender away from Ryan & Rioli and also can play in the middle in spurts.
So, TL;DR - one change only.

In Nelson or Schofield ,Ah Chee
Out Shep inj , Venables
Venners is probably our weakest link and maybe AhChee can come in and give us that little bit extra manpower..

No change except for Shep.
In Schofield/Oscar Allen
Out Schoey

I can't see Ah Chee with that demonic will to chase an opponent streaming out the back half for 50m, seems the type of player who hasn't quite got that desire to go for massive runs with no reward.
I was so impressed with Venables closing speed in the forward 50 to try help us lock the ball in.
He won't be so slow with the ball in hand in the future, I'm sure he and Shuey will roll the tape and see what went wrong offensively, although some of the calls were BS.

Funny how Venables plays like a Richmond small forward and has similar stats and people want him out. He stays.
Assuming Sheppard is out, then is our best balance with Nelson or Schofield? Both would do the job and Nelson did well for EP in the elimination final. Both turnover by foot more than Sheppard but are more secure by hand pass than Sheppard. We are weaker but I’d still back in our system.
What about Watson - can we handle his turnover potential?
Compared to last time we played Melbourne, we had no JK and 2 talls in defender. Ah Chee played v Dees. Question is will JK and Schofield/Nelson be 3 goals better than Ah Chee and Sheppard?
Arrogance says yes.

I have noticed Schoey has been back to his taking the game on and going for a run when he gets the ball. So for me he comes in to replace Shep.

Duggan wont be dropped at this point in the season. That said, he absolutely needs the acid put on him this week.
He's not offering a huge amount defensively, and his kicking varies from ok to an out and out liability. That kick in he put straight on the full in the last quarter could have changed the game.
Guys like Sheed and Jetta who we roast often have stepped up the last couple of weeks. Masten has been ok and playing his role. Hell, even though Venebles didn't get a lot of the ball he applied lots of defensive pressure and laid 7 tackles.
Whilst i wouldnt exactly be tossing Duggan under the bus if i was Simpson, he needs to offer more, its been way too long between him having a good game. I think all that needs be said that if we get up in the preliminary final, that his spot in the best 22 isn't an absolute guarantee.
Lets hope the kid can put in a big game in a fortnight.

Potential match-ups for the Prelims.
Dees
FB: Cole Barrass Nelson/Schofield
FF: Neal-Bullen Weideman Hannan (189cm)
HB: Jetta McGovern Hurn
HF: Spargo McDonald Melksham
Hawks
FB: Jetta Barrass Cole
FF: Puopolo Ceglar Breust
HB: Hurn McGovern Nelson/Schofield
HF: Burgoyne Roughead Gunston (193cm)
So I think it's ok to play Schofield in the prelim from a height perspective. Nelson would also be fine from a height perspective, but he isn't as good at footy as Schoey.
But then if we face the Tiges in the GF we would be too tall with Schoey. To the point where playing Nelson would be better even though he isn't as good at footy.
And I'm guessing that we wouldn't want to bring Nelson in just for the GF.
An interesting decision ahead for the MC. If they think Shep could get up (looks unlikely) then it makes it a bit simpler.
