Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - QF vs. Melbourne, MCG, Thurs 07/09, 7:20pm

[unplugged]

Thursday confirmed.

 

[The Phantom]

Yep, Naics was 7-10 days away from running, as of Friday night.

So, let's say he resumes running on Saturday, he'd have 5 days to get up for a Thursday night game.

Unlikely to play you would think, but never say never.

Sub?

 

[AmericanMustard]

Thursday confirmed.

Excellent result!

 

[gouki88]

Excellent result!

How?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

How?

Maximum recovery time to the next game

Maximum recovery time to the next game

I guess, I think there's a bit of a trade off if we win though. 2 games in such a long time could have adverse impacts IMO.

Although, I think our training staff are better than previously so maybe less so

 

[Kes1984]

They were inaccurate but I seem to recall a lot of their shots being from 40+ out. Could be wrong, though!

we are to be credited for that that though - teams seem to be more inaccurate against us - it's where we force their inside 50s to, making for harder shots at goal.

 

[Kes1984]

I reckon its absolutely vital that Beau is out there when the heat is on early.

I'd even get him in at a few early centre bounces

That’s going to make very little difference in the grand scheme of things as to whether the qf is on a Thursday or a Friday

 

[Kes1984]

I ran into Tommy Mitch at a bar on chapel street after the Demons game. We chatted and he confirmed a fair few of the boys who played that week were sick for the game. He also mentioned that he wasn’t sick for the game.

Mason Cox also confirmed it on his Podcast after that game. Fly was the only one denied it, but more so he wasn't using it as an excuse.

 

[NMBB]

Inform Carlton?

Who wants to inform Carlton that they are not in form? - let them figure it out themselves

 

[LuckyLee]

In: Moore, Murphy, Beau
Out: Frampton, Cox, Macrae
Sub: Beau

Im baffled that you and many others here prefer to drop Cox over Cameron. Cox has been the better tap ruckman over past two games (actually delivering the ball into the hands of our mids) and is a scary match-up when resting forward - both directly and indirectly by creating chaos for our other forwards to take advantage of. Why get rid of one of our biggest points of difference?

Inconsiderate time slot. The MCC members will be packed to the rafters. Only seats on levels 1 & 4 can be pre booked. The queue will be a mile long, and it gives people almost no time after finishing work.
Why doesn’t Gil **** off now. He was supposed to go in April, wasn’t he.

Yep, that's what I was getting at. People see 8.18 and blame their accuracy but the story was deeper than that.

Thursday thing is annoying but I'll still be going. Surprised we're favourites going by how some of the media are writing us off

Big news coming out of Zero Hanger, Grundy is going to take on Pies

Excellent - so druggie Goodwin can again mention 5 times in his pre game presser how great it is Grundy is now at a club that really values him

Excellent, I’ve been looking forward to Grundy tapping to pendles lace out for a few years.

I heard about it, but I was living overseas at the time.

Big news coming out of Zero Hanger, Grundy is going to take on Pies

I'd be surprised if he actually does. The numbers he put up on the weekend - although impressive - were in a smashing where he was no doubt playing as the #1 ruck.

Their issue isn't Grundy being out of form, their issue is Grundy being a liability in the forward line.

 

[stormskye]

tmac would come in over Grundy IMO

 

[Harry O]

A lot of people saying Howe goes forward to take May but not sure how this will eventuate. Dees love the May- Mihocek match up…. We may need Checkers to play a bit of a decoy role and take May away from certain areas of ground

If we select Ginni , Dees will want Lever on him to play off and intercept

I bought 2 tickets on an eBay auction - bit ripped off - good game, great atmosphere - we lost by 5 points
