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

[parano1a]

Cox is not coming in for Cameron.

I think the best set-up is when both are in the team rotating ruck duties 50/50, or Cameron 60/40.

playing
Will Sidey play if so does WHE make way given he was ok
Will Ginnivan be sub again.
Suppose could bring in Sidey for Darcy but concerned bit small then against Lions. Don’t know if I want Frampton following a player of Daniher‘s quality all round the ground.

 

[Gone Critical]

I think we rest players next week on Marvel, and retool for Essendon the following week. Moore gets locked in a dark room and told to lie down for a week and not move. I'd consider sitting Pendles also, and maybe even not bringing Sidey back in.

Bring in Macrae and maybe Ash Johnson again, although I like the idea of Howe as the third tall forward to go with Miho and McStay, so maybe not.

Rest anyone who has a niggle for the brions game, I have a feeling we'll beat them anyway

It would be maddness resting players next week. In that senario whoever is rested will rest, play, bye, QF. If we win that finals bye then PF. 2 games in 5 weeks is no way to prepare for a tough PF. Its bad enough now the disadvantage teams get when they win the QF and having 2 weeks off in 3 let alone making it 3 in 5.

pablo disco bar has tweaked his catchphrase to:

Just don't play him.

Just rest him.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Why would a week off now and then another week off before finals be ideal.

Look at Moore and naicos last 2 weeks..

De Goey/noble and Maynard banged up.

Also good to play macrae/ruscoe mcinnes just I'm case they are needed come finals

Anyway I've thought this most of the year I know alot of ppl don't agree with me.


Gee whiz hope Moore and naicos get up for finals

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I think if results go our way and Top 2 is sealed this weekend, I’d be fine with giving Moore a week off and simply bringing in Sidebottom and see how we handle Brisbane without him.

You know me, I'm just an Alien life form trying to make sense of this crazy game

 

[HFF]

Low grade hammy confirmed by club on Moore after scans.

Should be available for first final.

Damn, so not tightness. Loving the pre-finals bye this year.

Somewhat of a good result, l guess. I was worried the scan would show a tear and we wouldn't see Moore for 5 to 6 weeks!!

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

We get back a fresh and rested Moore and Naicos, for our finals campaign.....

 

[3rdMan]

To be honest I think this is a good thing. Not much to gain from him playing the last two games. Take three weeks off and freshen up for finals.

 

[danielnajdek]

4 weeks until the first final. Darcy will be fine by then.

 

[Lifelong Pie]

I don't think anyone would have really thought that Moore would be playing again in the home and away after seeing the incident last night, that looked like it was clearly an injury rather than tightness, just hope there are no hiccups and he is ready for the finals

 

[Pies_10]

He wasn't playing even with just tightness so it doesn't change much in that regards

Hope so - but with his history, a tear is no bueno

Agree, I didn't see it at the game, but after looking at the footage, I thought that was his hammy gone. So this a big relief.

 

[Horaceg]

That’s the silver lining, just need to win at least 1 of the 2 remaking, IMHO.

Hope it is Brissy and we can possibly do it again with Darcy and Nick back.

 

[Finnishpie]

4 weeks until the first final. Darcy will be fine by then.

You don’t know that so why say it?

There‘s a good chance he’ll recover, but he missed most of one season with hammies, so theres a chance he also won’t be.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Tightness always sounded optimistic considering the way he pulled up

 

[Fat Jesus]

Either way it's not off the bone.
He will be right by our first final.

 

[manicpie]

He probably would have only missed one or 2 games but with the bye it's a good chance to give him 3 weeks

 

[partypie]

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

Nah we're short on umpires now so they'll just paint the boundary line 2m closer to the fence for next week.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Assuming he’s still out as no word either way, so until someone from the club says he’s available then he’s out, pretty simple really.

Pretty sure McRae said that if it had been a 7 day break Sidey would likely have played against the Cats.
