Preview Changes v Melbourne Demons, Sunday 3:20pm Marvel Stadium

[The Nostradamus]

Whitlock for logue
Hardeman/fisher for archer

Cooper Harvey 6 goals today has to be in the mix even at least as sub

 

[DuckYeah]

You're such a hero bro, a guy that has broken his leg representing our club - all you do is sulk on the internet. Bravo.

Who hasn’t broken a leg? The guy was nearly in tears from agony.. no structural damage? Jesus christ. What do you want people to say? The clubs soft, he’s soft. Kerch ducked his head for a chest mark and dropped the ball? What do you want? Im a paid up member. If I want to call him soft for being 1. Pushed around by a 19 year old and 2. Almost crying because of a sprain, then I will

 

[DuckYeah]

3 matches for arch? … straight to the tribunal

 

[DuckYeah]

Grade 2, 4-6 weeks mate. Had scans today.

Maybe he can get on ozempic and trim up a bit whilst he’s off

you want to cause it makes you feel better and no other reason.

Nope, Just like everyone else on here. They call it how they see it.

Doubt he was in tears because of the pain, he has had a horror run of injuries that must have him fearing another.
That being said, he throws himself into contests with anything but softness.
I’ll take a bloke in tears because he thinks he might be spending months on the sidelines again before someone who shirks a contest any day.

He did shirk a ground level contest last night and had a bad game, but yes agreed, he is anything but soft.

We are so ****ed next week. Angry Dees will smash us. This time we play there AFL team!

 

[Heaps of fun]

OUT: Tucker (omit.) Logue (inj.), Archer (susp.)
IN: Stephens, K Dawson, Hardeman
This assuming Comben gets up. We try and maintain continuity with this squad. Tucker is surplus to needs while FOS is part of the back seven. Stephens plays sub to come in and give run.

Stephens’ biggest plus is running out games. Not worth it as a sub.

He tore it up as sub against the Dees last time we played. I don’t think there’s a lot of great options for us otherwise though I like Urquhart in this role going forward. Who would you play sub?

 

[DuckYeah]

Urquhart in this role going forward

We have enough ball butchers in the team

 

[rickety]

Should be more suited to the wide open expanses of the G than most we have. Also we won't have to worry about him being sucked into the contest like all of our midfielders .... This game might be the making of him at Arden St. Giddy up!

 

[rickety]

What’s wrong with logue??

Hammy

 

[Cool Kangas]

I’m tipping north forever more. A broken clock is right twice a day - we’ll win a game one day.

 

[backtothedraft]

Tough without having watched much VFL football this preseason. I think we’ll go safe and bring in Pink or K.Dawson to replace Logue, but Melbourne could be a good opportunity to debut Whitlock or play W.Dawson. Either would match up reasonably well vs Matt Jefferson. I’d be happy with any of Fisher, Hardeman or Bergman to replace Luke McDonald and would like to see Duursma given an opportunity as sub to slowly integrate into the senior side but might be better to have another run in the twos.

Out: Logue (inj.), McDonald, Tucker (sub)
In: Whitlock, Hardeman, Fisher

 

[Lavy_Panther]

This is going to be ugly.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Kawson(Arch) Corr McDonald
Daniel Whitlock(Goose) McKercher

Scott LDU FOS

Hansen Darling Curtis
Zurhaar Larkey Konstanty

Xerri Sheezel Simpkin

Powell Phillips Stephens Parker

Ford

Sheezel and LDU really need to be on from the get-go. Any lapse like last week and I foresee an 80 point flogging.

Tore it up? Lol.

 

[footy2016]

Pink will be in for Logue. Hardeman will be in for Archer unless they decide to play Tucker as the small defender (hope not).

Leaves a back 6 of LMAC, Pink, Comben, Corr, FOS, Daniel with Hardeman as the 7th defender.

That is a grim back 6, however is the best we have available. Corr goes to JVR, McDonald to Fritsch and then Pink to Jefferson. Comben will be the 3rd tall and play an intercept role.

Yep, their midfield looked good yesterday. Cannot make it easy for them or we will be flogged.

So frustrating that we're back at square one with our backline now. Fritsch and JVR (and maybe even the Jefferson kid) might get off the chain.

Arch is getting off at the tribunal

 

[Frank Thring]

Arch is getting off at the tribunal

You'd hope so but you know, AFL

 

[Possession]

It would make sense but I'm preparing for the worst tbh
