Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - GRAND FINAL vs. Brisbane MCG, 2:30pm Sat 30/09

[LuckyLee]

Don’t think I would be referring to Frampton as a proven tall defender. Not sure what will happen with the forward line but the backs won’t be changed.

Frampton is more proven as a defender than Krueger, McInnes or Hoskin-Elliott as a marking forward.

How do you imagine us kicking the 12-15 goals that we’ll need to win in fast dry conditions? Howe forward (with Frampton back) gives us a decent chance.

A great defence is little consolation if we can’t kick a winning score ourselves.

Why do we need to kick that many goals to win? Friday night was fast and dry, no?

Irregardless isn't a word.

I think we all want an Adams in for Lipinski.

I think I'd bring Noble in for McStay and play WHE forward. Not ideal but would encourage us to run and take the game on more.

umm yes, irregardless is certainly a word...

In relation to the changes, my preference is to bring Ginni into the 22 and have Noble as the sub. Unfortunately, I don't think Adams will get up in time. If by some miracle he does, Lipinski will certainly be feeling the heat, but he wasn't as bad as some make out.

Thoughts on Cox at Full Fwd?

Harris Andrews will just push him out of every contest. That's a nightmare match up for us.

Irregardless of selections, are we worried that we are versing the Lions?

cox is best when he’s a ruck floating forward forcing the oppo ruck to defend, but as a pure forward he’s too predictable and easily exploited

Barrass all over again

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Fear not! JDG will not only play just as well as he did last night but will kick a couple of goals too.

And Nick can add a couple of his own.

We will lose.

Please, please no.

Isnt he going to do that to every forward though? At least Cox would bring the ball to ground

I just think we've got to bite the bullet and throw Freddy into a GF.

Let him smash into everyone for 2.5 quarters then sub him out when there are no KPDs left for Brisbane

No, Andrews isn't going to do that to everyone. Cox is a huge sucker for getting pushed out and giving up intercept marks

I don't think Cox will bring it to ground.

Just..

 

[No SPIN]

We don't need someone who is versatile. We need a forward and Billy looked completely at sea when they tried him there. Having been tried and struggled in a position, doesn't make you a versatile player for that position.

To support Brodie we have Cox Cameron Howe who can all be used fwd, and Frampton can be put in their positions, if he’s not doing enough fwd.
I don’t see any other player that gives Fly more flexibility.

AJ is the logical addition but is injured, Kreuger is not the solution.

 

[eyeroller]

Just..

PLAY HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[shizzle]

I’d entertain the idea of using McCreery in a mostly defensive role on Coleman.

He was arguably bog against us last time and I could say the same tonight.
Very damaging and important player.

I highly doubt we see this as Fly(like most coaches) prefers to back in his system.

 

[LuckyLee]

Because Brisbane’s forward line has the ability to be much more potent than GWS’s.

Don’t mind that for Beau. The only thing that makes me nervous about the system against Brisbane is that it hasn’t worked of late. Who guards the space behind the ball to ensure Cameron doesn’t get out the back. Would love the instruction to be IQ or Markov gets the job on Charlie and that’s his only focus, rather than guarding the space up the ground. Make sure he is always goal side of Charlie. All the other defenders can still play the team defence but Charlie always gets us out the back.

Joint winners of the Norm Smith for first time in history!

Except that GWS over the last 5 weeks has been a better scoring side than Brisbane (#1 and #2 in the comp over the period).

 

[No SPIN]

We've got to beat the team we've failed to beat this year.

Actually I prefer to say we finally get to play BNE, with a team closer to best 23, than either of the earlier games.

A little bit, yes
