Preview Changes: R19 v Carlton

[douglyzia]

Collective Minds are obviously misogynists that encourage AFL players to manspread.

Best half played by Douglas all year

 

[Apsaalooke]

I would like to see multiple changes after last night's disaster but we all know that won't happen. I think we may make 2 changes.

Walker out for Fogarty (give Tex a few weeks off to get his elbow right). Fog needs to be in our main side plain and simple. Such a waste to have him in the SANFL.
Mackay out for Jones. If Mackay stays in again instead of a someone younger then we have lost the plot.

Neither of these changes will happen. Don will back his senior guys in and CEY and Gibbs will come in for Knight and another younger player

We lost the plot years ago then

 

[PCORF]

Need to play some of the younger players next week.

IN: Otten, Stengle, Jones, Davis
OUT: Hartigan, Betts, Atkins, Mackay

 

[Eagleboy2011]

No standout in the SANFL side today against the bottom club.

You haven't watched the SANFL side. Jones and Stengle stink.

 

[Scorpus]

From the SANFL the players we should be considering are Wilson, Gibbs, Sholl, Fogarty, Butts and maybe Gallucci

So I predict these changes:

Out: Murphy
In: Douglas

That's because we won't pick Wilson or Gibbs, Sholl and Butts won't debut, Walker won't be injured and Gallucci "won't have done enough". Douglas had nearly 30 terrible disposals but that will be enough.

On top of that we hid Jones in a graveyard role so he had no impact on the game and couldn't be picked.

Fun times at the Crows

 

[Cockwomble]

Douglas will be straight in for anyone under 29

 

[Tex200]

In Douglas. 27 disposals demands selection

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I predict we will lose. We had a chance to e to introduce new players after the Port game but the coach did not want to over react. Last week he thought the game was a joke. Tex needs to be dropped. Forget talking about McKay, we just want him to get to 300 games.

The Wilson thing sums up the club perfectly
30+ possessions every week but never picked
So why was he drafted in the first place ?

No way we are winning this. Terrible performers on the MCG, even when in good form.

Blues will be well up and about for this. 20-30 point loss coming up

Why?

Wilson isn’t going to be a long term AFL player and Matt Crouch isn’t going to be dropped.

How do you know?
Why does he need to only come in at Crouch's expense ?
He's a better player than a lot of the guys getting a game now

I guess it has something to do with that massive plethora of clubs lining up to recruit him.

Well he will go somewhere else and be better off for it
Most likely be glad to be out of the place like so many others
Meanwhile we'll stick to our elite standards McKay Murphy etc etc who are lesser players than him

Should be a cracking game...though i definitely feel this game means more to the supporters than the players.

Cripps looked sore and possibly injured in today's game...should get up but clearly not 100%.

You guys smashed Essendon in clearances so that's a big worry for mine...Carlton will need to at least break even there i'd suspect and hopefully get you on the outside through Walsh/Fisher/Petrevski-Seton etc.

We don't have the same counter-attacking, speedy half backs Essendon do so the territory battle will be important.

Your guys look to be playing for their coach at the moment. The change seems to have re-energised everyone.

Whereas we're looking a bit tired/stale.

Interesting that in three interviews I've heard from our players and coaches since last night's game they've all mentioned that this is our only game on the MCG for the season. Hopefully it can trigger some intensity

Don't worry, we'll cover your half backs and finds a new way to eff up.


Or a really, really old way.

Just have to get more pace in our team.

Given the importance for draft picks, this isn't the time for half a dozen changes with full on youth though.

In: Fogarty, Jones, Gallucci, Stengle
Out: Walker, Greenwood, Hartigan, Murphy

B: Brown, Talia, Kelly
HB: Milera, Keath, Laird
C: Seedsman, Mrouch, Atkins
HF: Lynch, Fogarty, Sloane
F: Betts, Jenkins, Stengle
R: O'Brien, Brouch, Smith
I: Mackay, Gallucci, Jones, Knight

Been saying all year that we can't have 3 poor ball users in defence. Kelly has been playing better than Hartigan, so he makes way.

With Smith playing on ball, Milera should revert back to our backline mainly where he has played his best football.

Walker looks sore with his elbow & just can't run, so time for Fog.

Greenwood has been struggling most of the season to run out games, so we can use the likes of Sloane more up forward.

Gallucci & Jones in gives us more speed. They should have come in against the Bombers, well at least one of them.

Edit - appears have swapped Stengle for Murphy too. Eddie appears to be happier...

 

[Bazz_27]

I'm not convinced Stengle's defensive pressure is up to scratch

If Stengle played last night we would have likely missed out on that defensive pressure masterclass we witnessed

Imagine if we played gibbs, we would have been exposed by his lack of defensive running.
