Preview Changes vs Cats in the Semi Final

[Jeeves]

steep, but would be worth it. Are you going to go?

I think that’s for the flight, ticket to the game and 2 nights accomodation. I think that’s pretty reasonable.

 

[woosha24]

And Danger?

In finals? Danger tags himself.

 

[Cuzz09]

Hopefully Kelly is just a bystander next week as he comes to terms with the calibre of guys he'll get to play with

Safe to say we're playing the cats.

Let's wish them well to going out in strait sets

Ahh......the Strait Cats. That's a blast from the past!

I was saying the same up until q4 tonight. Dangerfield was massive in that last quarter. Gotta be head-to-head with Yeo.

Tim Kelly cup next week. I want to win so Kelly finally declares his hand.

Simmo should approach him at some point on Friday night.

"You doing alright, Tim? Feeling ok? How they treating you on this side of the country? You know we're big on family over at West Coast".

Would drive the Vic media nuts.

Yep, a very impressive game by Dangerfield have to admit. Was in everything.

 

[Cuzz09]

Then say.

"Dont worry, We'll get you one of these mate" while dangling a premiership medal to him

I like Hickey and I'm not clamoring to replace him but jesus christ his ruckwork is terrible. I dont know if you lose anything playing Allen instead? Vardy is probably a better tap ruck even and do you make the focus all about the clearances? God I hope Nics ankle held up.

 

[Cuzz09]

Yeah I like Hickey but I feel like having Allen as an another decent runner through the middle (not as unco) would be very valuable

Nic Nat is not suspended. its hard to squeeze Oscar allen in now.

if anything Jackson Nelson could be dropped. hard decision

 

[Capriati]

I reckon Ozzie will do 2nd ruck duties and rotate through the forward 50.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

In: Allen
Out: Hickey

 

[Cuzz09]

What about Cameron?

Bit of pace and I love his tackling.

Hutch to Ablett.
Yeo 1v1 with Selwood to make him lose his 'nana.

Hutch to Selwood. Good match up in size and athletic attributes.
Nelson on Ablett a better match, as Nelson can run with him through the middle as well as in defence. Not sure I'd be too comfortable with Hutch following Ablett if Ablett drifts into a forward pocket.
Danger untaggable when he's on. Damage control with a match up like Yeo is the best bet.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Out Nelson (if concussed)
In Duggan or Cole whoever plays best.

 

[Cuzz09]

Thats why its going to be so important that Nic takes full advantage in the ruck.

Field position or whatever the new term is.

Get it forward. Lock it in and score heavily.

Bring in Cameron. Tell him to tackle tackle tackle.

Cripps, Ryan too.

Memory of a gnat - getting the punters who bet based on the 'latest results'.

The next big winner will be the new premiership favourite (AKA Melbourne 2018).

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Why would he take it though when he is only playing games every other week? I'd love to see him feature in our top 22, but MC seems to rate him or seems to believe he doesn't fit our structure out the back.

Just checked his games tally and he's closing in on 200 games.
For a guy who has spent most of his career as the 3rd choice defender (behind Glass & McKenzie then Gov & Barrass), he's creeping up to the 200 game mark.
Form and body warrants another contract. Would be good to see him play his 200th.

If it's there you can almost kiss our campaign goodbye.

Is he really? That's awesome! Has to get another year, surely the MC came to their senses this week and worked out how well gov and TB go when old mate's in there locking it down.

Not something we're likely to trial in a final, but I'd like to see the following setup:

• Nic as the primary ruckman
• Allen providing centre square relief when Naita is off
• Darling taking forward 50 ruck contests when Naita is off
• Barrass taking defensive 50 contests when Naita is off

Provides more mobility than Hickey, while giving Naita appropriate support and not brutalising Allen too much.
It would be relatively tricky to manage rotations as it's not as simple as ruck on/ruck off.
