Preview Changes vs Gold Coast Franchise Sunday 4:40pm @ Metricon

[BigRedRoo]

Can't bring in Greenwood and keep Cunners.

I'd like to see Cunners played as a small forward.

 

[Harris 10]

Corr for Dawson or Bonar
Turner for Goater or Bergman
Greenwood for Simpkin

Lazzaro sub

 

[shinboner magic]

One of Corr and ziebs needs to be moved out of the backline

 

[Psicosis]

I think we can hold both if we have better users around them. Goater and Bergman instead of Howe and Tucker is far better balance in terms of ball use.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Long story short, we need to drop Corr for one of Hall/Bergman/Goater.

One of Corr and ziebs needs to be moved out of the backline

Agree that Corr should be left out for this game, and structurally, most weeks, depending on form, there should only be one place for Ziebell or Corr.

OUT: Corr, Turner, Cunnington, Taylor
IN: Goater, Greenwood, Curtis, Bergman

Tucker moves upfield.

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

Outs:

Simpkin (inj), Turner, Taylor, Corr, Howe, McDonald, Cunnington

Ins:

Greenwood, CCJ, Curtis, Bergman, Hall, Goater, Lazzaro

 

[kool kangas]

Its amazing how people here will have 5,6 changes knowing that only maybe 3 or 4 will happen...

 

[Caracas]

I’ve just watched parts of the game angain and the biggest change has to be from Clarko.

That defensive structure and the way we set up everywhere was absolutely horrible.

No personal changes will make a difference if we continue to set up like we are.

Hopefully, we’ll see the value of having Clarko now. Make no mistake, performances like yesterday were not supposed to happen this year. Big beatings are acceptable when we get overwhelmed and beaten by 50 or so and that equates to our performance. However, when you are extremely lucky to lose by 75 points, that’s another thing altogether. Brisbane were 150 points better than us yesterday. When you consider they gave us a three goal head start, that’s beyond mind-boggling. In the worst days of Noble, we always could bemoan our 12+ injured players. Not yesterday. Thinking back to what GC did to us last year up there, I’ll avoid this game like the plague and only check the score after it’s finished . Over to Clarko…

Love watching him play and develop but Sheezel looked a bit banged up yesterday, big corky, ? thumb, blood nose, a week off probably wouldn't hurt him at this stage.

 

[My Left Foote]

Wardlaw is at least six weeks away from what I’ve been told.

His fitness is woeful

Very harsh. He’s coming from a long way back and is building towards full fitness.

 

[My Left Foote]

If Jy doesn’t get up we don’t have many other options.

I wouldn’t be against Lazzaro coming in for Jy, has been good in the VFL the last few matches let’s see how he goes at AFL level. If Jy is out for an extended period then give Charlie a run at least by the end of it we‘ll know if he’s up to it or not.

 

[Carey4life]

While we are likely to persist with Corr, Logue and McKay for a few weeks, I hope Clarko starts thinking about alternatives for the third KPD. Whether that be Bons or Dawson (as a leaner faster rebounding interceptor KPD). In addition to Ziebell, we are effectively playing 4 KPDs atm.

Long story short, we need to drop Corr for one of Hall/Bergman/Goater.

It's an unpopular opinion, but bon building. Definitely getting better YoY, still 24 sand has athletic traits.

I think he could go okay in ziebells role long-term after he retires...

 

[Roo096]

It’s going to take more than 5 games for Clarko to get a real gauge on we’re this list is at last nights game just sped up that process.I believe and trust what decisions the coach makes he has been there and done that.There are going to be a lot more games like last night ahead of us a few more trips to the draft,a few more preseasons to come.
Patience is what is required and trust.

 

[Frogginton McPowell]

Out - Turner, Taylor, Shiels, Simpkin
In - Curtis, Bergman, Hall, Greenwood
Sub - Lazz

Curtis straight swap for Turner
Greenwood straight swap for Simpkin
Bergman and Hall to half back
Tucker to take Shiels wing
Sheezel to take Taylors high HF role

 

[chickenonachain]

When you have McDonald as your captain you know we ain’t going to be very good he’s a plodder and it’s time to move on from him,back to the seconds for him

 

[shintemaster]

I

reckon he’s still pissed off when Clarko sort of made an example of him after he missed that straight in front goal during the Freo game .

Doubt it, he backed up with a couple of great goals the week later.

He's right on an edge for mine.
Pros:
Runs his guts out, great mark for his size and can slot a goal.

Negs:
Prone to a poor kick (particularly in that 25-30m range) and is incredibly fumbly below his legs at times. The latter is potentially lethal in a smaller player.

One of a handful of players that needs to do a lot right to hold his position. Arguably is at his best at a medium leadup forward and based on exposed talent to date someone like Paul Curtis would be overtaking him in the next 12-18 months.

 

[footy2016]

IN- Hall, Curtis, Bergman, Goater.

OUT- Simpkin (INJ), Turner, Shiels (rest) and Greenwood.

With Simpkin out, Zurhaar will need to play 50% midfield at least rather than 20-80 split which he’s been doing. Would roll Cunnington forward and have Zurhaar/ Curtis rolling through the midfield to add some speed and a different dynamic.

Not a fan of Howe, however if he wasn’t dropped last week he won’t be dropped this week, was far from the worst. Wouldn’t mind CCJ in however don’t think can play Comben/Larkey/ CCJ at Metricon in those conditions.

Most alarming thing yesterday other then the turnovers was the glaring lack of speed we had, needs to be addressed.

Two fast wings like Melbourne

 

[Rod Stroker]

Did his hammy last week.

in the reserves? or at training? he hasn't played a senior game yet

 

[Ischenko]

It's an unpopular opinion, but bon building. Definitely getting better YoY, still 24 sand has athletic traits.

I think he could go okay in ziebells role long-term after he retires...

Yeah I’m on the Bonar Bus.

 

[giantroo]

Vfl.

 

[Tectonic]

Yeah I’m on the Bonar Bus.

So torn on Bonar.. we looked safer with him there but he needs to learn to play with a bit more confidence.. I feel he slows us down a bit.

Can't be worse than what we just served though.

 

[Horizons_00]

Hall has to come in. We could not get it out of the defensive 50 with any drive

 

[Tectonic]

Out: Simpkin, Turner, Taylor

In: Greenwood, Curtis, Hall

C. Taylor the sub

B: Ziebell McKay Corr
HB: McDonald Logue Hall
C: Scott Powell Tucker
HF: Sheezel Larkey Phillips
F: Curtis Zurhaar Stevo
R: Goldy Greenwood LDU

I: Shiels Howe Cunnington Comben

 

[Harris 10]

Very harsh. He’s coming from a long way back and is building towards full fitness.

So it’s woeful, but we all know he has excuses?
