Preview Preview/Changes – Round 9 vs. Carlton

[TheBoss]

Lazy pea-heart.

 

[Proper Gander]

That's what I text my boss when I just can't be ****ed.

I just say “I think I might have eaten something”.

It’s always true and seems to suffice

 

[Headless]

Bowey is in.

Jake Bowey, that is.

Thanks for clarifying which Bowey, I was confused for a moment.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Would assume Woey back to sub and Laurie dropped for a full game in the VFL

Would rather Billings dropped and Laurie keeps his spot OR Tholstrup/Sestan brought in. Probably wont happen with the Shorter break though.

AMW another who deserves a shot. Would love to see him come in soon.

Has to be Billings out.

Interestingly, Goody has spoken twice now about looking at fresh legs for this game. Would be against brand for him so we'll see if it actually happens. He did say though they would manage the VFL around that and that likely means only Brown, Hore (both didn't play) and Hunter (managed minutes) are in the frame.

Considering Goodwin has rarely rested players I wonder if getting smashed by the Lions off a five day break was a bit of a wake up call for him. Actually after looking it up I was wrong about this the five day break was between Port and Adelaide. No idea where this new concept of resting players has come from then. We'll see if it eventuates.

Would be fine for Hore to come in for Howes. Please no Brown.

I'd be taking Woey out before Howes personally. I do doubt though that there will be more than 2 changes at most. Bowey for Billings, which means Woey the most likely to get shifted around to make way, maybe he goes to sub? But yeah, we'll see if Goody actually does go the fresh legs approach.

Woey would come out for Bowey in this scenario. Howes and Hore are more like for like.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Howes isnt getting dropped, done nothing wrong and his mix of some height and agility/pace is great for matchups week to week. Allows Lever to do his thing.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Wouldnt mind Billings out for one of Thol/Sestan/Hunter/Laurie but I doubt it happens.

Would only be in the situation where we actually rest players. I doubt it happens as it's totally out of character for Goodwin but out of the players who are fresh that's the obvious choice.

The other would be Brown for Turner but I'll be mad if Goodwin does that.

 

[Lord Nev]

Woey would come out for Bowey in this scenario. Howes and Hore are more like for like.

Not 100% sure of that - Howes has played every game Hore has this year. I think they can both play in the same backline.

Woewodin was the sub in 2 of those and didn't play in the other one. Salem played all 3.

Brown for Turner isn't happening surely. Turner hardly needs a rest and Brown is coming off a zero goal game in the VFL two weeks ago.

Howes shown no signs whatsoever he needs a rest, people just throwing random names out there like they did saying Windsor needed a rest 4 weeks into the season.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Not to mention we are playing Carlton, hardly the week to rest players and get cute with the lineup.

This is all predicated on the notion that we're actually resting players. Bowey coming in is a known quantity so then it's a question of who goes out and if we're resting players who that would be. Woey is the obvious like for like with Bowey, Billings deserves to be dropped but then our options for fresh legs are pretty limited so I don't know how you fit those guys in without dropping the other obvious like for like players.

Brown for Turner isn't happening surely. Turner hardly needs a rest and Brown is coming off a zero goal game in the VFL two weeks ago.

Howes shown no signs whatsoever he needs a rest, people just throwing random names out there like they did saying Windsor needed a rest 4 weeks into the season.

I'm not convinced we'll actually rest anyone just trying to work out who we actually would if we did.

What is good in life Conan?

To crush Carlton and hear the lamentations of their women.

Yeah for sure. I think Bowey for Billings seems the most obvious to me - Then it becomes perhaps Woey as sub. Hunter and Hore seem the only realistic chances out of the players they've prepared just in case, can't see Brown coming in as 'fresh legs'. Wouldn't be totally shocked to see Bowey for Woey, Hunter for Billings. But I'm the same as you, can't see many changes happening.

If anyone looks like he needs a rest its Viney. But yeah, that aint happening.
