Assume Howe and Adams out

Probably Carmichael into the 22.

Ruscoe in for Howe and Macrae as sub.

Grundy not yet? I didn't see the VFL

I don’t think Grundy is ready, esp for Gawn/Jackson. One more week of VFL IMO after watching vfl game. Needs more match fitness

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Concerning how we got smashed in the contest after Adams went off. Desperately need to find something on the inside.

 

[unplugged]

I forgot Checkers

 

[Jonno94]

McCreery needs to go, how many times did he have space and didn't provide himself a forward option and gets beaten by his opponent.

Bianco out too, just got badly exposed on the outside.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

McCeery for Henry
Adams for Macrae
Mihocek for Howe

 

[Bianconeri]

In: Mihocek, Grundy, Kelly, Carmichael (starting)
Out: Bianco, Cox, Howe, Adams

 

[hellfire]

McCreery needs to go, how many times did he have space and didn't provide himself a forward option and gets beaten by his opponent.

Bianco out too, just got badly exposed on the outside.

McCreery had what I thought was his first down game in a while. He isn’t a stats man, but even his intangibles were a bit off today. But I certainly wouldn’t drop him.

Bianco was excellent after quarter time I thought.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Madgen in for Howe
Carmichael for Adams
Mihocek for Bianco
McCreery sub

 

[Jonno94]

Bianco was excellent after quarter time I thought.

Disagree strongly he's got to go, Henry would have kicked 4+ with the golden chances he got 30m out.

 

[nahnah]

Do people still want Ginnivan out this week

 

[Stifler's mom]

McCreery had what I thought was his first down game in a while. He isn’t a stats man, but even his intangibles were a bit off today. But I certainly wouldn’t drop him.

Bianco was excellent after quarter time I thought.

Beau not a stats man is a really nice way of saying he cannot win his own ball.
He‘s a non scoring forward who usually has about 6 touches a game.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

I swear the last time we played the demons it was 1st against 9th.

Now, it’s 2nd vs 3rd.

 

[MagpieJoel]

McCreery needs to go, how many times did he have space and didn't provide himself a forward option and gets beaten by his opponent.

Bianco out too, just got badly exposed on the outside.

You wrote us off in the first 20 minutes of the game. Here you are are writing off something else. Keep it up please, you've got the Midas touch.

 

[Aussie pie]

Hard to say. Assuming Howe and Adams out.
Madge and Carmichael in.
Checkers in for Bianco. McRae medi sub.

Grundy needs another game, an overweight d grade ruckman beat him in the VFL. It’s just a matter of game time for him to improve. Give him 2 leading into the finals.

 

[Bianconeri]

Hard to say. Assuming Howe and Adams out.
Madge and Carmichael in.
Checkers in for Bianco. McRae medi sub.

Grundy needs another game, an overweight d grade ruckman beat him in the VFL. It’s just a matter of game time for him to improve. Give him 2 leading into the finals.

Madge is playing forward not sure why he’d come in for Howe.

 

[hellfire]

Beau not a stats man is a really nice way of saying he cannot win his own ball.
He‘s a non scoring forward who usually has about 6 touches a game.

He is a role player whose defensive and physical presence is critical to our style of play. He also gives us plenty of dash offensively. He was well down today, but if he gets omitted, we need to replace his role… and Henry can’t do that (I’m a huge Henry fan fwiw).

 

[Jelly Bean]

Too early to know whether Howe misses, so I'm going to assume still in. Adams probably out (don't want to risk him). I think we will be well beaten next week, but I'm okay as long as we don't get more injuries.

In: Mihocek, Macrae,
Out: Bianco, Adams,

We need to win 2 more games to finish third given our poor percentage.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

In Mihocek Carmichael
Out Howe adams.

Mihocek to play in defence possibly? Or at least be the swing man based on how the game is playing out.

Another week of vfl for Grundy before we unleash him

Macrae or maybe Henry to be the sub.

Henry for mccreery should be considered too… beau woulD make a great super sub.

 

[KinderSmock]

Carmichael holds his spot. Very good player.

 

[JoinDate]

Hard to say. Assuming Howe and Adams out.
Madge and Carmichael in.
Checkers in for Bianco. McRae medi sub.

Grundy needs another game, an overweight d grade ruckman beat him in the VFL. It’s just a matter of game time for him to improve. Give him 2 leading into the finals.

Madge has been playing forward in the VFL, so we'll probably see Ruscoe in? Plus, I reckon I'd prefer McMahon or Kelly ahead of the Madge.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

In: 11 straight
Out: 10 straight

 

[Prexm]

In Mihocek Ruscoe Carmichael out Adams Howe Bianco (sub)

 

[KinderSmock]

Grundy mainly rucked, adding to the problem we have three pure rucks, no real forwards. Cox in defence was alright. Cameron probably more dominant today.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Macrae might be in if Pendlebury gets suspended
