Opinion Preliminary Final Changes vs. Hawthorn

[The Speaker]

Just answering a post from another who was suggesting Taberner would accompany Macca as a backman... I was disagreeing with him

I don't think that's what the poster was suggesting.

 

[Unique Name]

Out: Suban, Clarke, Mzungu
In: Tabs, Griff, Macca

We need two talls plus ruck so Tabs comes in. Clarke was horrendous so straight swap for Griff.

 

[johnnomac]

Depends on who we play

Adelaide - Macca for sure + possibly tab's
Bullies - Macca + a defensive forward (Croz maybe)
Hawks - Macca + possibly tab's also (or Crowley to beat the sh%t out of Mitchell and Hodge)

So, is Macca in or not?

 

[Scham]

Macca must come in for Dawson. Griff has to replace Clarke.

Tabs or AP in for Mzungu (should be Suban based on his performance today)

Langdon in for Clancee

 

[Max Connors]

In Crowley out Suban or DeBoer

I thought De Boer was good today. Won some hard ball when not many others were.

 

[Tweedy]

How serious is McPharlin's injury? Any doubt for two weeks' time?

 

[purplerunsdeep]

How serious is McPharlin's injury? Any doubt for two weeks' time?

Must be - apparently hasn't trained since the Norf game

Though he would have had 4 weeks rest then - that's a decent rest for any lingering calf issues

Dawson shouldn't get picked next game. Frankly he hasn't done much for a while and was a complete passenger today.

Am I correct in thinking that Silvagni's suspension will be over in time for the Prelim? If so, then he must get looked at before Dawson and if Pearce A is back on deck then I'd look at him before Dawson as well.

Either way, Tabs or Pearce as a second tall up forward next time.

Much as I love the guy, I can't justify a spot for Mzungu any more. He's lost his mojo and I don't think he's going to find it again this season.

Ross needs to look at how we are organising ourselves as well. 3 guys going the mark and nobody stays down to crumb and whats with this handball to a guy surrounded by opponents? Some seriously dumb decision making at times

 

[clivenator26]

Subes ain't going anywhere.

It'll be Luke for Clancee or Tendai and then considering Tabs, APearce or if Griffin is alright then that puts Zac under pressure.

 

[Allikat]

In: Macca, Tabs, Crowls
Out: Clancee, Gu, Subes (or mdb)

If macca's not fit, bring in Alex P

 

[FreoRicci]

IN: Taberner, Taberner oh and Taberner.
Please. I won't stand Lake/Gibson dominating Pav. We need another tall to balance out the forwards as well as Ballas and Walters not having to play against tall defenders.
All honesty:
In: Taberner, Griffin and McPharlin
Out: Suban, Clarke and Clancee Pearce
De Boer/Mzungu offers more, they are finals type players. Unfortunately Nic just can't get going.

 

[ydraw]

Out: Suban or Mzungu

Barlow back into the Midfield in place of either of them.

Taberner to Half Forward.

Same thing I've been saying all year.

If Griffin has a hammy he won't be fit.

Mayne was shocking again but he inexplicably gets a game every week no matter what so I guess there will be no change there.

 

[332docker]

Ins:
Macca, Griff
Out:
C.Pearce, Clarke

Only other would maybe Tabs comes in for maybe Mzungu???

we will be full strength, best position we've been in for ages...expecting a cracking game, hope the weather is better than today, which impacted on the result...

 

[poshman]

Suban played over 3 quarters and got it four times.... He did little to nothing at the contest either. Was worse than Clarke... And Clarke was pathetic.

 

[Banker]

Suban played over 3 quarters and got it four times.... He did little to nothing at the contest either. Was worse than Clarke... And Clarke was pathetic.

And Suban is a midfielder, no excuse to get it so little.

Honestly think Crowley, must be liking his chances if he is ticking the fitness team boxes.

Was i watching a different game thought dawson was good took 2 really good marks at crucial stages?

 

[Rob]

Was i watching a different game thought dawson was good took 2 really good marks at crucial stages?

He even hit a target after one of them!

 

[MadDocker]

And ydraw saying Mayne had a shocker? He took a few good marks, laid some solid tackles, scored a goal and got 2 point (1 a poster)...

Pav kicked a point. How'd you rate his game?

 

[scon]

We're playing our role:we keep slagging our club and it keeps winning.
Ride the wave to the shore.

 

[Sweetback]

I thought he was good too. Even kicked the ball a couple of times.

 

[couldhavebeen]

I would love to see my man in the team but he had no impact today and not for most of the year .
IN Mcpharlin if fit and Ed Langdon for the SUB
OUT Clancee and Mzungu .
Dawson normally has great closing speed but not today but we would be crazy to bring in a kid to replace him .
Those calling for Clarke to be replaced didn't watch close enough today . Clarke is a modern mobile ruckman and he applied pressure acts all day . He is not the answer in the forward line but he does ruck well. He got into good positions preventing Sydney's use of the corridor and forced them to play wide down the flanks .Clarke in the team allows Sandi to go forward for more time.
Langdon has speed , uses the ball well and has the fitness to run all day . He is a young version of a Steven Hill and his ability to break lines and carry is what we need now. He will also learn more in 1 finals game than in 20 regular games .

When's Silvagni due back.

Both Mayne and Pav had shockers

Tippet ran him ragged.

 

[Spoken4]

Do we think Sutcliffe will miss? Seemed to hurt his shoulder again.

I'd like to see

In: Taberner, Griffin, McPharlin (if McPharlin misses then Alex Pearce), Grey and Langdon
Out: Suban, Clarke, C Pearce, Sutcliffe and Mzungu
