Doc Larkins reckons Taz probably won't play

Awesome news. That means Taz will 100% play then.

Probably no change depending on Tazza's injury.

Maybe McDonald out and Tazza in, although LMac earn't his stripes last game.

Damn it's only Monday and i'm also fully pumped..
I'm also alot more confident than last year. Everyone is in form everything is working like others have mentioned.

Damn Tarrant and Petrie are so important to us i hope they both play..

 

[nicko74]

Need Tarrant to play..... End of story

 

[Roos29]

Do we risk playing tippet over mcdonald if tarrant dosnt get up?

Personally I think we might have to. Or Hansen needs to play more as a defender rather than a floater.... Robbing us of a bit of drive off half back

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

We're in this. We're right in this. This mob aren't all that.

yeah bro!! you beat us in perth you deserve the flag. because we are averaging +10goals over in perth all season and we took off the gas against hawks last quarter or it would have been a smashing. good luck though.

Take it to the banter thread buster..

Doc Larkins reckons Taz probably won't play as it was a tear and it is with his kicking side. This is a huge out if he can't come up. Even so it will be on his mind the entire game and knowing how injury prone he is, I am not confident he can play through a ningling injury

Even dish will be ok but if he hits that bruised knee again it will spell trouble. I feel like he would play through a broken leg. Absolute warrior

How does Doc Larkins know it's a tear?

 

[NMFCARSENAL98]

not a Nahas fan, But he must play this week due to gained leg speed. All 4, Nahas, Garner, Turner, Thomas must play. Nahas, Thomas the goals and the speedy crumbers, Turner and Garner the tackling pressure machines. Have a feeling this balance could go a long way to winning us the game.
I'm going with these changes;
Out Lmac, Hansen. In: Nahas, Tarrant

 

[boneofshin]

Why does the 'Nahas is fast' myth persist?

Why does the 'Nahas is fast' myth persist?

Because his 3 legs seem to move really fast....

 

[Roo Beauty]

Why the **** would we drop Hansen against a team with the best and most in-form tall forwards in the game right now?

Yeah I could understand if people wanted him dropped for last week (Sydney only really had Tippett) but this week there's Kennedy, Darling, Sinclair, Naitanui, etc. who Tarrant (if he plays), Thommo and Spud simply can't contain by themselves.

C'mon people. Hansen crucial this week.

Cannot be dropped.... he provides an outlet if anyone is ever in shit.....
I remember the days when Petrie was our only marking target from kick ins.....
now we have
Waite, Goldy, Hansen, BBB, Petrie, Cunners, JZ goes alright in that too.... it crucial

Don't worry, Nima likes to shit talk in oppo threads when it isn't appropriate. Has to be an alt acount tbh.

That Madonna headline ...

No idea lol

 

[Horizons_00]

I had a dream last night we beat the Eagles....

 

[GremlinCRHF]

If Tarrant doesn't get up then we need to double team Kennedy all game. 7 men back all game. I'm confident 5 forwards (Brown, Waite, Petrie, Nahas/LT, Garner) can get the job done with the mids we have who can kick goals (Higgins, Boomer, JZ, Cunners, LMAC!) But without Tarrant we don't have a backman that can negate (not nullify but negate) Kennedy by themselves. Thompson to Kennedy as direct match up with Hansen hovering at all times to drop in to the leading space

 

[Gasometer]

Lloyd suggested BJ goes to Priddis.

Having incidentally watched Eagles games the Nic Nat-Priddis tap is obvious. ..they get so much drive from those two.

 

[NMFCARSENAL98]

Jacobs to priddis, Gibson to gaff: If Shuey gets off the chain may need to send Jacobs to him. From our side of things, who'll run with Harvey?
