Preview Changes: Round 3 v Port Adelaide

[Scorpus]

Who comes in to replace Jenkins? Does Hampton hang on? What about Otten and Kelly?

I'd go:

Out: Jenkins (ribs), Kelly
In: Lever, Menzel

Otten to the forward line, replacing Jenkins. Lever in for both Otten and Kelly. Otten can rotate back if necessary. Then Menzel in for some more run in the forward line

 

[Cromulent]

Out: Jenkins, Kelly
In: Menzel, Lever

Otten to the forward line.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Kelly has to go. Woeful.

Spot on.

 

[mcday]

I feel bad for Kelly. You can't doubt his effort, but he just isn't quite up to it. Hampton needs to find the ball before BCrouchy comes back, but I like his aggressive tackling.

Out: Jenkins (fingers crossed for no collapsed lung), Kelly
In: Lever, Menzel/Wigg/Greenwood

 

[Dewy006]

Would seem straight forward, Kelly and Jenkins out. Lever and Menz in. Otto to go forward and pinch hit in the ruck.

What happened with everyone's whipping boy Mackay

 

[Scorpus]

What happened with everyone's whipping boy Mackay

He won the match with three late, crucial goals

 

[GROTTO]

OUT - Mackay

IN - Whoever.

Oopps sorry reflex action.

Best ever Mackay game ever, crucial goals he kicked at the time won us the game.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Pretty straight forward. Jenkins and Kelly for Menzel and Lever.

Otten's played forward in the past, can do it again.

I think we're all thinking it.

What happened with everyone's whipping boy Mackay

I'm currently picking humble pie out of my beard... MMM, apple.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Out Jenkins
In Lever

Otten forward and 2nd ruck

If Kelly goes out who's playing back , maybe Hampton role change ?

Wigg close to replacing Hampton as is Greenwood

 

[MRB37]

Yep, doesn't seem to be much need to faff about with the lineups. Two easy ins and outs.

1 defender short - who's changing roles ?

let Laird and Smith go a bit more defensive, get Milera and Hampton to play a bit deeper/further back

 

[Jeffcrowe]

It's an option , people are forgetting that it creates a change to structure that's all

I think maybe Hampton back , we need Milera forward of centre and make Port worry about him not other way around

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

1 defender short - who's changing roles ?

You could argue we were one defender short with Kelly out there!

 

[mattymac]

Hampton is out of his depth. Menzel in.

Lever in for Kelly is a no brainer.

Not sure of we need some ruck cover with Jenkins out.

Otto was important swinging forward today

 

[CEY Crow]

I like the In: Lever/Menzel, Out: Kelly, Jenkins which is mostly being suggested.

However, will that leave us too tall down back? Who will play on the mid size forwards Kelly plays on - Hampton? Kelly seems quicker and more agile than Lever, and his natural replacement would be Cheney or potentially Doedee

I know it's asking a lot given they are structurally very different roles, but could C Cameron play HBF for a few games? Then Menzel plays forward. Cameron is defensively accountable and would provide a lot of run of HBF, could give him more opportunities to get involved in play too.

 

[pjcrows]

No structural damage (eg. broken ribs) for Jenkins according to 5AA.

 

[Scorpus]

Doesn't matter. The skill of Lever is good enough to cover what Kelly and Otten were collectively providing.

If needed, Otten would also swing back. We should be rotating midfielders through defence as well

 

[Danger in Texas]

I'm tempted to bring in Greenwood for Kelly. Had 5(?) rebound 50's on the weekend, has the versatility to go into the midfield and forward line, is quite athletic and is good overhead. Reckon he can play a Kelly-like role if needed.

Lever in for JJ

B: Brown, Talia, Lever
HB: Smith, Hartigan, Laird
C: Cameron, Sloane, Atkins
HF: Knight, Walker, Lynch
F: Betts, Otten, McGovern
R: Jacobs, Mrouch, Douglas
I/C: Greenwood, Hampton, Mackay, Milera

 

[DD#23]

No structural damage (eg. broken ribs) for Jenkins according to 5AA.

yeah? Geeze, adamantium perhaps? He looked in plenty of pain, went down like a sack of potatoes.

 

[Footypie32]

I'm giving Hampton one more week. Needs a big game though.
