Too Sweet
Its good to see him rewarded for his good form. I would have been disappointed to see him made the fall guy again.
Agreed
Perfect selections imo.
I wonder whether the addition of Burton and Gill will help or hinder Jericho? Either he will suffer from lack of opportunities now he is the 4th tall, or the fact he is on a lesser opponent will help him gain better opportunities and make the most of them.
I also wonder whether both he and Burton will play as a two-pronged lead out attack or whether one or the other will be played up the ground? Probably see a variety of options i guess depending on whether Tippett is up forward or not.
I think it is our best team of the year, no doubt.... Happy to see Jericho being given a chance to cement his spot....

Oh crap now with him and Birdman kicking for goals I'll have to close my eyes a lot!
And Tippett.
It's far more exciting you must admit. How boring is it with someone like Welsh lining up and never missing?
You can go grab a beer before it goes through.
With Gill, Burton and Tippett up front you are on the edge of the seat until the goal umpire signals....... one finger. It's awesome.
I'm glad he is still in the team, he has deserved his spot after being solid recently and match winning against Richmond. I mean, who would you replace him with?
Good to see he wasn't dropped as this would have been the worst one yet.

This combination will be so hard to match up on it isn't funny. Throw Hentschel into the mix (maybe for Jericho to give us three key-sized targets) and...
That's hilarious
, but also unfortunately true.On the other hand, Burton's kicking for goal has been good this year.

That was funny
Probably the right time to give Mackay a rest. His run, dash and carry will be vital in September. We need him fresh.
If Jericho can fill in for a few weeks and perform while giving D-Mac a brief rest, then it's positive.
Porps is a star!!
Team Captain
Really happy with that team, imagine the headaches next week for team selection assuming everyone gets through... Massie, Symes, Trent, Otten & Mackay if they have a blinder are in the mix!!! Glad i don't have that job!! Will almost be confusing to see so many leading forwards in a crows team!! hopefully Douglas can bring to the table what he did last week (alot of defensive pressure) and could we actually have a potent forward line??
Just in time for Geelong, and their second test of the season. They failed the first one against the Pies.

we have been crying out for a fit and in form Nick Gill to lead and hit it up at CHF
now lets see if we've got one
My thoughts exactly
At least we'll get a minimum 110%
Good to see young macca get a spell, he's done very well and beyond a lot of expectations.
Great to see some competition for spots. I think having Jericho and Burton in the side givs us a lot of flexibity with both players able to play in multiple positions.
Its becoming a hard side to get in, with everyone coming back from injuries which is great for us. I think Symes is in our best 22, but I don't know who would come out?? it would have to be a defensive mifielder or hbf, but who??
Same goes for Hentschell?? who is the unlucky player to come out?? I would personlly replace either Bassett or Stevens with Hentschell and play him in defence for a while. I really liked the way Trent played in defence, was always really calm and made the right decision.

Maybe one of Doughty or Shirley though the latter has been playing really good last few weeks, hard to say on doughty, could be playing a negating role.
Of the 2 I would replace Symes with Shirley, with Doughty stepping into Shirleys tagging role, but thats just my opinion and I know alot of people will disagree with me.

Good to see Gill return
Not exactly going to do much for our accuracy though

Would be a tough call. I'd almost prefer to see Knights out for Symes, even though I know a lot of people will disagree with me also
I'm just happy the club has some tough decisions to make with team selection, very good sign imo.

So we put Gilly at CHF to provide the contest. Who do we play at FF? Goodwin? Burton? Tippett will surely HAVE to be the second ruckman with Maric so how much time will he spend up forward? and when he is in the ruck, who replaces him (assuming Maric will be having a deserved rest on the bench)? Do we now have too many forwards? Or will Goodie return to the midfield? Or we know Jericho ran 10 kms last week, could he take Dmac's place effectively?
Great to have this dilemma for selection! It's about bloody time!

Thats not a bad suggstion actually.
I just loved Symes energy and ability to extract the ball, something i think we have been missing, but yes I agree being out for so long does mean he has to show some form in the SANFL first.

Looking good, good to see Gill back! He's that player who's always angry, always looking to take a risk.
Red Jumper or not, we have to go out and win the game, simple as that. Excluding Finals, our minor round record in Brisbane isn't too bad. I'm preparing for another challenge in our red jumper again, sorry. I just have a feeling that we will wear it.
They (Geelong) also have yet to play the Doggies and Hawhorn. That could be easily 2 more losses. Bulldogs are absolutley on fire and pretty much unbeatable because of the additions of Hudson, Welsh and of course Akermanis is back to his best.
Hawks vs Geelong R17 game is Friday Night at the G. A huge advantage to the Hawks.
