Unofficial Preview Changes - Lions v Pies (Easter Thursday)

[Squizz89]

We move on pretty quick to next week, which after a loss is always good.

In: Oscar
Out: Fullerton

If Berry misses with his shoulder than Dev is next in line. I’m also like a few others and wouldn’t mind seeing his brother come in as a midfielder not a pressure forward.

Whoever it is should come in with the intention of winning the ball. I believe we need another out and out ball winner to take pressure of Lachie especially when Lyons has a down game.

 

[Scubaveg]

Out those who can’t tackle. In those who can stick tackles.

That will be and probably should be all that will happen.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing the likes of Dev Robertson, Tom Berry, Jaxon Prior given a crack at senior footy over the next little while.. for who?

The only outs/short stint in the reserves for them(not all at once) could be depending on level of performance Nakia, Mitch or Cam IMO.

I do also think we miss Zorko's pressure, speed and energy in the middle and forward with him down back, when Keidean comes back Zorko should move back to the role he has played for most of his career.

My Changes
In
McInerney
Lohmann
Robertson
Berry

Out
Fullarton
Rayner
Zorko
Cockatoo

Outs

Fullarton was hopeless
Rayner needs to get a heap of the footy and do things that he was doing as a junior on the footy field
Zorko don't care what anyone says he is cooked at the moment and good teams will exploit him.
Cockatoo been impressed this season, still not fit enough, get the GPS numbers up on the ball in the 2s.

Ins
McInerney- no brainer
Lohman- Plays as the small forward and inject McCarthy into the middle for short bursts
Robertson- we need the hard running
Tom Berry- Play him off the backline to replace Zorks

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I'd love to see Dev and Lohmann in for Berry/Answerth and Rayner. But I expect to see just the standard change of Oscar for Fullarton and that's it.

Out: Fullerton (Omitted), Zorko and Berry (Managed)

Lester plays half back for Zorko
Robertson a straight swap for Berry
McInerney a straight swap for Fullerton

 

[Warwick]

Imagine Lohmann debuting Easter Thursday in front of a full stadium! Love to see it, but doubtful.

Going to be a really tough game. Collingwood are playing a hot brand of footy atm and they’ll have the support of at least a third of the crowd.

Ins: O, Dev
Out: Fullarton, Berry

 

[RoyBoy17]

In: Big O, Dev, T Berry, Wilmot
Out: Fullerton, J Berry, Zorko, Ah Chee

 

[martinson]

Danger game . Our form has been average bar one game against poor opposition.

Out . Fullarton , Cockatoo ,Robbo.

In. Oscar , T berry ,Dev.

Keep Rayner as a forward only . For this match.

If J Berry doesn't get up then Lohman as well.

Zorks was on fire early last night and then couldn't run at all so unsure of where he's at.

If it's straight Fullarton out Oscar in then I'll be a bit hot under the collar.

 

[M Malice]

Dropping the captain.

 

[The Zork]

Cockatoo out. Rayner offering more aerially so I’ll keep him in, but he needs to lift.
Just seems to be a lack of faith in our seconds almost but we are in need of some new energy in the senior side.

 

[JasRulz63]

I do wish Fagan would mix things up a bit more at times instead of making predominantly the necessary changes. Even if it's just bringing Dev to change our midfield mix a bit. But I'm fully expecting the only change being OMac in for Fullarton.

 

[Gadzorks]

Dropping the captain.

Zorko has actually said that injury might end his career, and if so he's ok with the run he has had.

Difficult to weigh up the trade off between a less than peak player who can still significantly influence the game. In a good way.

I'm sure that he would happily put his hand up and say drop me if he thought he was limiting the team.

Who goes out for Dev?

 

[martinson]

Who goes out for Dev?

I think Dev and T Berry would on current form offer more than Robbo and Cockatoo presently , and probably Rayner . And then you have Zorks on one leg last night and J Berry with one shoulder gone.

So there's no shortage of options . But Fages would see Rome burn rather than drop anyone in his written in stone preferred 22.

 

[martinson]

Likewise we need to get a bit more pace and bite in against the Pies who are playing a different style this year.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Well, I see some of the takes have gotten worse this morning.

 

[lionshine]

I’d like to see T. Berry and Dev in as well. They’d apply a lot of defensive pressure which could allow Neale and Lyons to dominate going the other way. I’d consider resting J.Berry for a week with his shoulder looking very sore and dropping Robbo with Ah Chee to spend bulk of his time on the wing.

We need to try something different in our midfield mix and with Dev and Tom Berry banging the door down for an opportunity let’s give them a shot in their preferred midfield roles.

O back for Fullarton a no brainer.

 

[JasRulz63]

Who goes out for Dev?

I don't think there's a direct swap for him, so bringing him in would require some positional adjustments. So either Cockatoo or Robbo for mine, with shifting of Rayner, Bailey and/or Ah Chee around.

 

[Squizz89]

Berry could be a direct swap if he misses with the shoulder perhaps.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Oscar for Fullarton - obvs
Dev for Robbo with JBerry playing wing - Robbo adds SFA. Ah Chee has surpassed him on the wing. Dev can stick his tackles and wil be on the list next year unlike Robbo

 

[RoyBoy17]

I think lohmann might come in for cockatoo. Dev in for Berry (direct mid swap). I think wilmot for Zorko is a good option too. Rest up Zorko and Berry after a short turn around. They will have fresh legs in Adam’s and De Goey coming back in. We shouldnt be playing banged up players this time of year. Would like to see T Berry come in as well. Obviously big O comes in

 

[Johnny Bananas]

In: Big O, Dev, T Berry, Wilmot
Out: Fullerton, J Berry, Zorko, Ah Chee

I don't think Ah Chee deserves to be dropped. He's played well.

 

[martinson]

I don't think Ah Chee deserves to be dropped. He's played well.

Cal really saves us 3 or 4 times last night when the Cats would have swept it away on the rebound.

He was one of our best

 

[Nunez]

Cal on the wing is where he belongs. A good replacement for Robbo.

I'd be keen to see Ah Chee playing Robbos wing role and Sharp playing Hugh's, with Hugh transitioning to a permanent on-baller.
