Game Day Changes, prematch discussion & GDT vs Gold Coast

[Flawed Genius]

Who cares at the moment.

In: Thompson

 

[year of the roo]

Can we have Thompson, Grima, Tippett, Hansen and Firrito all in the same backline?

Send Hunter forward or into the midfield?

 

[Benno_900]

IN: Thompson, Wells
OUT: Tippett, Nahas

Tippett did his job. That's why he is on the list. Unlucky to get dropped but it's a great problem to have.

I don't mind Nahas but it's very worrying he can't last 3 quarters.

I thought Majak did as well as we could expect against Freo. Much better than Currie.

Perfect, hope Wells is fit.

Prime the Skipper for Brisbane.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Out: Tippett (did well so disappointing, but he's not in our best 3 key backs, Thompson is our best key back), Nahas (close to there fitness-wise, but surely can't keep his spot with Wells to return, who else could go out?)

In: Thommo, Wells

I've already started to worry about the Suns, are they likely to have Bennell back? Matera will be back. Ablett-Prestia-Swallow-Rischitelli-O'Meara is excellent, and we're no Hawthorn. Suns will take it right to us, if we bring Sydney/Fremantle/Port effort we win as we should, we bring Essendon/Collingwood and the Suns jump at us again.

Their kids have the same mongrel, desire and intensity as ours do, and Ablett is huge. As posted on MB, Day and Lynch will soon have a day out (one of them anyway), hopefully they get it out of the way tomorrow v GWS but we will need Thompson-Grima-Hansen-Firrito to continue working as their unit.

Wasn't Nahas finishing top 5 in the time trials during the pre-season?

 

[Benno_900]

Gold Coast tend to struggle in Melbourne.

As long as we play like we did tonight, we'll be fine.

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Was he? He seems to be struggling to run games out hence his subsitution, v Sydney he had a knock I believe but he seemed alright today other than cramping?

 

[TheMcGrathMan]

Yeah, but I feel as though the Suns are a team that will rise to the challenge more often that not, so they will play better v teams in the 8 than say Melbourne...that's my opinion anyway

Out: Tippett, Nahas

Pretty simple this week. Gonna become a lot trickier once Swallow is ready to come back...

 

[the big lebowski]

Wells should have another week off. Get him right for the Brisbane game.

And J-Mac.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Danger game next week against the suns. We'll be flat from the trip and I'm not sure many teams have won the week after the perth trip, but we owe them one for last year. If we can back it up its another sign of maturity

 

[shinboner spiggs]

In Thompson wells
Out tippet nahas
Bmac absolute LAZER pass

 

[Daz]

Just imagine if Swallow is ready (I think it's more likely than some might think).

Potentially

IN: Thompson, Wells, Swallow
OUT: Tippett, Nahas, Greenwood

Hansen Thompson McDonald
Atley Grima Mullett
Wells Cunnington Dal Santo
Harvey Petrie Adams
Thomas Daw Black
Goldstein Swallow Ziebell
Firrito Bastinac Gibson McKenzie

That's a pretty useful looking team.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Out: Luke Mac (needs a spell, he's started to look a bit fatigued), Tippett (unlucky, but Grima redeemed himself and Firrito was good)
In: Wells, Thommo

 

[Flawed Genius]

Out: Luke Mac (needs a spell, he's started to look a bit fatigued)

wat

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

wat

wat indeed.

Tippett was great, but Thompson is an automatic inclusion. As is Wells if fit.

 

[Heaps of fun]

One doesn't simply drop future hall of famer...

Greenwood had a bad game...but can we keep him? Plzzzz

 

[True North]

Levi has had 2 quiet games in a row. Last week against Beams, I hope to God he wasn't meant to be anywhere near Avatar tonight.

 

[shinboner magic]

Guess we do have some depth after all.

In thommo and Wells

Out Bmac and tippett

Nahas sub-

 

[Donkey Chop]

Greenwood had a bad game...but can we keep him? Plzzzz

He's been average for the last 3 weeks. Feel for him but he's definitely struggling.

How do you drop Tippet on that performance. More than capable. I would rest Wells and just bring back Hunter for next week. Robbie unfortunate to go as his pressure is great.

 

[shintemaster]

Yep. Needs to have more impact as he makes some shocking decisions at times. If he's making way as a wrecking ball that's okay, but when he turns into a prime mover it hurts us and he doesn't accumulate as steadily as Gibson. Took a pretty big hit early on though I thought.
