Cunning plan for season suspended until Lunch/Lambo & Tank are available.

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Dimma said in the presser that we're keen to use three talls in the forward line going forward. That's a massive U turn, but a good one.

Could mean Ryan debuts or possibly Miller.

Balta fwd
Miller FB.

2 Caddys

Supposed to be Pickett on the wing, since been fixed

Balta fwd
Miller FB.

Na Balta has to stay at full back all the time now. He just doesn't respond well to being constantly moved around, and he's tracking towards being out best key defender, if he isn't already.

 

[RunningBounce]

Edwards and Pickett in for me. Nank and Ralphsmith out.

I want Prestia and Edwards to get us moving the ball with some pace through the corridor this week. We've missed that. I don't like the chip-mark-boundary shit we've been serving up.

I'm playing Baker 100% back this week. Similar reasons. I reckon our ball movement out of the backline has been slow and sideways most of the season. Needs a bit of Baker bounce.

Really liking the idea of sending Caddy forward this week. Riewoldt plays ol' fashioned CHF beautifully. Have him sending it long to CJ / Chol and Caddy. Reckon Chol and CJ can get the rucking done between them.

 

[db26]

Keep the changes to minimal I know can't control that with injuries we need to settle the side.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Balta fwd
Miller FB.

Suspension of VFL games has come at a bad time for Miller he was stringing together some really good performances.
Love to see how he goes at the top level. It Dave struggles to get over that achilles it’d be nice to get some games into Miller prior to the finals.

That's a beautifully balanced team on paper. Show that to the Bummers and they will s..... the bed I reckon.

[Sol23]

Could we bring in Relton for some EEEEELECTRICITY

 

[fargothegreat]

Normally if we're debuting a player it gets announced beforehand doesn't it? Probably means no Ryan or Miller.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Shedda gonna be the only ever play to make AA playing only 10 games in a season

he’s primed along with Bolton to blow this comp apart

With nank out we will need to bring in a genuine ruck to maintain that balance we had last week
