Opinion Preliminary Final Changes vs. Hawthorn

[Wizard]

Silvagni a chance to come in if Luke is no good?

Or is that just too many poor users and poor decision makers down back with Dawson, Silva and Spurr?

I'd take A. Pearce over Silvagni

 

[Stuart88]

Spoke to Griffin before the game, said he would be right to go for the next final.

 

[Mudd]

Griffin in for Clarke

Langdon in for Mzungu

Tabs in for C Pearce

Mcpharlin in (not sure whose spot he takes)

As terrible as Suban was I like him in the side, he provides a hardness and mongrel around the contest that has value. The only way I can see him missing is if Ross unleashes Crowley, Ross has form in this (Baker's 12 week suspension straight into GF)

Langdon as sub, sub him on for either Suban if he starts trailing off like he normally does late in the third/fourth quarter or Tabs if he isn't having any impact.

 

[sherrif]

I think Clarke holds his spot, simply because of his potential match up with Nic Nat the week after - Sandi and Griff can't go with him like Clarke can.

McPharlin and Taberner comes in.

Unlucky could be any one out of de Boer, Suban, Clancee or Mzungu.

If Griffin is fit he has to play. The difference between is that Griffin brings the ball to the ground while Clarke often gets outmarked. If Hawthorn win the Griff has to play. Gibson has destroyed us in the past when playing on Clarke. If Adelaide wins I still would prefer Griffin as he is a better match-up in the ruck on Jacobs/Jenkins.

I was sitting behind the players bench and Fyfe was very frustrated several times he came off to talk to the medicos. He was swearing quite loudly which I have not seen him do before. Seemed in some discomfort. The 2 week break is such a blessing

 

[Damos Ponchos]

A.Pearce , Griff and Macca in out : Tendai, the two Zacs

 

[The Anchorite]

Out: C Pearce, Mzungu, Clarke
In: Taberner, McPharlin, Griffin

Bonus for the lulz -
Out: Suban
In: Crowley

 

[salim malik]

If Fyfe doesn't come up and they take the chance of winning the prelim without him and save him for the GF who comes in for him.Barlow to mid,Crowley?

 

[danstar]

I was behind the bench to and was watching fyfe out on the ground for awhile he definitely looked like he was about 75 % fit on Saturday

32 possessions while crippled. The man is a god

 

[Mogumber]

He's got two weeks to come up.
He'll be ok.

 

[Simmofreo]

Agree

 

[Arcassius]

He's got two weeks to come up.
He'll be ok.

It's not the next game but the one after that we want him 100% for, that's the worry. Not that we can get ahead of ourselves - it'll be hard enough against Hawks / Adelaide

 

[danstar]

That was my point he got 32 possessions while at 75% the man is a beast i love him haha

 

[Mogumber]

Indeed. So we have to play him.

Next game is the most important game, must win.

This, after watching the game I couldn't believe he got that many possessions....Watching the replay he also had a few chances to get a goal as well (smother shots on goal or poor kicks to him with one on ones in front of goal). Another two weeks off can only help him, however i do not expect him to get back to his earlier years form. He's missed too much footy. Would love to be proven wrong.

We need more output from our midfield tbh. Too often do I see mundy, barlow, muz, suban just walking and not structuring up as quick as the opposition. How many times do we have 3 midfielders within 3m of the ball, while the opposition has a nice spread around the contest. One of the things we were doing really well last year was winning the contested possessions and having effective disposal. Now it seems to be back to the rolling maul….not backing our skills and relying on weight of numbers…

Sure is!

Has to play. Hell, play him in the goal square and pop it on his head all day haha.

I wouldn't mind Barlow at the coal face, Suban out and Langdon in.

That kid was great yesterday

 

[Belnakor]

I was behind the bench to and was watching fyfe out on the ground for awhile he definitely looked like he was about 75 % fit on Saturday

I reckon he got a jab and it started to wear off in the 2nd half.

It was pretty obvious when one of his kicks basically went straight along the ground - he clearly couldn't feel his leg for the first half.

Looked very proppy by the end of the game. Two weeks will ensure he is right to go for prelim/gf i'd imagine.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

I thought Mundy was very quiet

 

[Steinfreo]

Fyfe as sub? Or does that give off a bad message?

 

[Lach72]

I thought Mundy was very quiet

Had 27...and I thought he was good in the last

 

[danstar]

I dont think he will still even be 100 % in 2 weeks hes carrying a injury that requires lots of rest to get right another 2 weeks i think he will be about 80 % fit
