Preview Changes V Gold Coast TIO Stadium SATURDAY NIGHT June 3rd

[rabidcrow]

They might rest Smith again. In that case McHenry goes out for Hinge.

If Smith comes back in, then it gets interesting.
Worrell will stay in.
Don't think Parnell will come in.
Could rest Sloaney or Doedee. Both seem like they could do with a freshen.

The other ones that might go out are Murph, Pedlar, Sholl or Rachele. As spectacular as Pedlar is, he's not getting heaps of it. Still if they rate McAdam over him, I'd keep him in until McAdam is fit and then he can go out in a like-ish for like-ish swap out (and when McAdam inevitiably ends up sore in four or five weeks he can come in again).

Tough one for the selectors if no injuries between now and the game.

Normally in agreement with your posts but no way in hell Pedlar goes out unless injured/requiring a rest. And no way Rachele goes out either - both are keys to what is happening now and will be top 8 players for us in the years to come

Why would they give Doodee a freshen up? They'll play him into the ground.

Didn’t Doedee miss age recently with concussion? Don’t think he needs another rest

Pedlar? WTF?

 

[BACCS]

Yeah, if Smith has back issues, may be wise to rest him from 7 hours on a plane.

Are we playing in Bali?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Are we playing in Bali?

Bad at maths?

7 hours return flight.

Think it's wise for someone with a back injury...

You should know given your name.

Lol Rachele nor Pedlar are getting dropped.

Not sure how he come to that

Some Isaac highlights from Sunday's game

Izak

What an unbelievable get for the club , imagine playing with him and getting some of those assists

I reckon he’s close to won us 3 games already and he’s prob playing at 70-80% of his max potential

Can’t wait to watch him play finals for us whenever that might be

They say small forwards don't win you flags but I think they certainly help you get there.

Arsey, team lifting goals from half chances help get wins in the minor round.

Interested to see how he goes in finals.

Built for finals

Check out his contested possession rate

Four arsey, team lifting goals from half chances to Charlie wasn't even enough to get Brissy a minor round win last week.

And his 7 goals in 3 finals wasn't enough to get them into the big dance last year.
Neither was 8 goals from 2 finals losses in 2021
And you guessed it - 5 goals in 2 finals wasn't enough in 2020.
He only kicked 1 and 2 respectively in their straight sets exit in 2019.

What a hack.
(OK, I'm kidding. Was sad to see him go and glad to see him still going well)

I feel like our forward line was missing a key that unlocks it's potential. And every game Izak play's he looks more and more like that key.

The scary thing is we're about to come up against some seriously weaker defenses in the 2nd half of the year as well. The last 5 games have been defensively super strong teams, and Izak has had close company in most of them.

LOL x 100

Pedlar and Rachele are on target for 30 goals plus for the year while rotating through the midfield. They are not going anywhere. They both get picked before McAdam.

 

[PeterSalt]

Josh Worrell - a lot to like

 

[1970crow]

Agree with the first bit, he was our worst to 3/4 time. Should have been subbed then. He was good in the last q but not the best.
Needs a good rest and then would make a good sub in the second half of the year.

His positive impact is getting later and later as the season progresses. Started delivering straight away in round 1 which became second half and now final quarter. We’re playing with 17 on the field until late in the game. Make him sub or give him the rest(s) he needs to be a punitive contributor overall.

Those numbers tell me he could transition to more of a midfield role over the years...with his skillset, he could be as close to Andy McLeod as we are likely to have

we are very lucky to have both Izak and Josh Rachele at the early phase of their careers...imagine what they will be like when they hit their mid 20's

Just imagine what he'll be like when he builds his tank.

Just imagine what he'll be like when he builds his tank.

He will be one of if not the most damaging mid-forwards in comp
