Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - PF vs. GWS, MCG 22/9 7:50pm

[LuckyLee]

I’d like to see Cameron out for Daicos but we seem wedded to a two rucks set-up, so doubt it will happen.

For mine, Lipinski is probably the only player in the team playing notably worse than last season. Ideally he’d play on a wing but there are several others ahead of him for that role. He’s not a forward or a centre square mid. In his current form and fitness, he is not essential. It’s a shame, coz last year I was a big fan.

OUT Lipinski
IN Daicos
SUB Ginnivan

EMERG Noble Lipinski Frampton Krueger

It’s a high quality set of emergencies. We’re in great shape. Reminds me of 2010.

Another omen post …. Moore has his hand in plaster but he’ll be fine to play.

In the 1990 finals series Millane also wore a plaster cast during the week and ripped it off on game day.

Can you imagine how easy it would be to punch the ball with such a cast? Marking might be tricky...

Another coincidence.. In 1990 Carlton and all their supporters were dickheads and 33 years later its exactly the same

Same in 1902, '03, '10, '17, '19, '27, '28, '29, '30, '35, '36, '53, '58, and 2010 I recall

[Cousin of Daicos]

Port has Lord and one of Dixon/Marshall
GWS has Riccardi and Hogan

In: Daicos, Frampton
Out: Lipinski, Cameron

I guess Ginni can stay the sub but we should bring him on sooner. Although I think maybe Elliott would be a wise sub choice too

 

[gouki88]

Port has Lord and one of Dixon/Marshall
GWS has Riccardi and Hogan

In: Daicos, Ginnivan, Frampton (sub)
Out: Lipinski, Adams

No way this would be the change. Why would Frampton be the sub?? We won't be adjusting our backline makeup on the eve of its most impressive performance in ages. The GWS & Port talls are not worrying

I edited my post somewhat to have Cameron out for Frampton

 

[Kes1984]

Unfortunately thinking ginnivan will be the unlucky one to make way for daicos

Possible, yes. But that would be a poor call given the x-factor value he has.

Think he should stay as sub for the remainder of the finals - I know it's not much game time, but he makes for a perfect sub, if he has the crowd roaring as he runs on and lifts his team mates.

Given Fly has gone out of his way to continue pumping up the dual ruck scenario, I don't see that happening either.

 

[Jen2310]

They seem set with the two rucks, so probably hard to change this time of year.

I know, I'm not expecting Frampton to come in.

It's just what I'd go with.

My assumption will be a Daicos/Lipinski swap

Not saying I agree with this but I think it will be one of Markov/Ginnivan sub and the other misses out.

The only two viable sub material imo
One provides run, and the other provides spark/x factor
Cant see it being anyone else. You can't have a endurance runner (as we saw with WHE previously) as a sub. Impact only.

Markov is ahead of Ginnivan. Played more games. Shame if either miss now.

Pretty much disagreed with everything you said there. If you’re picking frampton to play back, it’s not required as we already have Moore Murphy and Howe. Cameron despite indifferent form is still the right choice in c9mb8nation with cox.

Re bringing the sub on sooner… port Adelaide say hi. Early tactical subs are risky.

Re Elliott being the sub… no thanks. He’s in the 22 every week. It woulD have been game over if he had nailed the two early shots on goal last week.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Still would love a curve ball

Out Cameron in Krueger

Out Lipinski in naicos

 

[domus]

The take on first crack was almost just a piss take. They openly stated Melbourne is in a good spot and can still win the flag and have no fears after working Collingwood out. . Not one thing about how Collingwood put them to the sword.

We led them by 5 goals on at least 3 occasions and they didn't hold the lead at any stage in the entire game but we are the team with problems?

 

[Football God]

Out: Lipinski
In: Daicos

Ginni the Sub

Markov a lock imo

2 ruck combo stays. As I said last week Cox the better tap ruckman so need him in as many centre square bounces as he can.

With Nick, starts HFF (same wing as his brother as they play better together) but let him roam free see if his opponent will follow him

Against an interstate side at the G, there’s going to be atleast 80,000 magpie fans. Oh boy it’s going to be loud!

Yep, was an interesting take from the so called “experts”.
The way I saw it Melbourne had no choice but to go all out attack and try to win.
When the game was there for winning we were up for the fight.

Happy for the pies to be considered underdogs, means no articles or
Videos on how to
Beat us etc.

 

[Kes1984]

I can imagine two things that will inspire an extra loud roar from the army

1. Nick Daicos’ first touch
2. Every time Bruzzy gets near the ball

Silly domus. All that matters is winning the last quarter. The final score, and losing other quarters are irrelevant. If you win the last quarter, you’ve won the game, even if you’ve lost… in fact, next season the afl are introducing a rule, that the first 3 quarters are warm ups, then the game starts in the 4th quarter
