Strategy Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 23 vs. Brisbane, Marvel, Fri 18/08, 7:50pm

[unplugged]

VFL pending again of course...

But Sidebottom for Moore with a shuffle. Sidebottom maybe even starting as sub.

Huge game. Shit ground.

will cost us a flag. Cox in as he can actually get more than 5cm off the ground at centre bounces.

Imagine a grand final matchup with Cameron against Gawn.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Out: Moore, WHE to sub
In: Sidebottom, Ginnivan (to 22 role - best zero goal game he has played).

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I'll give massive props to Ginnivan if people give massive props to Markov.

Have a sneaking feeling the scan will show something for Moore anyway - so I think it'll most likely be a Sidebottom for Moore swap.

 

[Bianconeri]

Persisting with Darcy Cameron will cost us a flag. Cox in as he can actually get more than 5cm off the ground at centre bounces.

Imagine a grand final matchup with Cameron against Gawn.

Cox hasn’t shown he can play 85% of game time as a ruck.

 

[Sub_Zero]

Cox hasn’t shown he can play 85% of game time as a ruck.

Against GWS???

 

[TW Sherrin]

Doubt Cameron gets dropped. Macrae believes in keeping blokes in when they should be dropped.

 

[Bianconeri]

Against GWS???

He played 70% of game time with a fair bit of time up forward as well.

 

[thommo_legend]

Anything in the De goey late bump?

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Out: Moore, Lipinski
In: Cox, Sidebottom

 

[Sub_Zero]

Anything in the De goey late bump?

What late bump?

 

[Eric Shin]

Our forward line mix with Howe up forward and Ginni subbed in looked as good as it’s been.

Surely Ginni gets a full game next week off the back of that.

WHE was very good tonight

[LuckyLee]

Out: Moore, Lipinski
In: Cox, Sidebottom

I think you may be prejudiced against Lipinski if you think he should be dropped after tonight.

He played his best game of the season with 25 touches (13 contested), 8 tackles and 7 score involvements.

[Soaring Magpie]

Think those boundary umpires need to go back to the twos, just can’t see them getting a run next week.

 

[LuckyLee]

OUT of the 23: Cameron & Moore
IN to the 23: Cox & Sidebottom

Howe back to defence.

Leave Lipinski in mids and play Sidey up forward.

I’d like to swap Ginni and Hoskin-Elliott in sub role but think we might need WHE’s height and run from the start so Ginni unlucky to be sub again.

Ginnivan and Howe forward are keepers.

 

[Doc1763]

Ginnivan and Howe forward are keepers.

Howe is a difficult match up forward. Offers more than AJ at the moment

 

[Gaben]

What late bump?

Caught O'Connor high when he was trying to pick up the ball right near the end of the game. Wasn't much in it.

 

[legendstatus]

Howe goes back, Moore rested, Sidebottom back AJ up forward, Cox for Cameron no brainer

Ginn stays 23rd man

 

[Finnishpie]

Out: Moore
In: Depends on the VFL really, but I'm guessing that we might bring in Cox or Johnson and move Howe back again. Also, there might be a few with nigles who might be replaced....

On another note, it's fascinating that Wil Kelly is about 3 inches taller than his dad and about 300% less tough.

 

[Captain Embubry]

Would like to see us try Cox rucking a whole game pre-finals. Darce is in ordinary form and the mids just aren't getting first crack at it.

Ginnivan and Frampton must play the rest of the regular season at least. Ginni was pivotal in our forward cohesion tonight. Not sure who starts sub, but it ain't him

Out: Moore, Cameron
In: Cox, Sidebottom

 

[Aussie pie]

So for me this is a no brainer change.
In: Cox
Out: Moore

So here’s my reasoning, it was obvious that Billy was bought in as the second ruck option and spare back as it turned out we needed that spare back. McStay had to second ruck and the less said about that the better. So Cox comes in and he and Cameron share the ruck because we definitely need good rucks against the big O and Joe. Howie stays forward and is the spare back if needed and Cox is that spare big forward. We cover all 3 tall positions that we need. I’d be scared to bits of a DC and McStay duo against Brisbane that would be very ugly. The big Texan gives us cover.

I’d like to see something done to improve the mids like Finn or Ed but it won’t happen.
