Preview Rd 15 v GoDeez - Sat 22/6/24 - At the G -7.30pm - Danj

Would have been my thoughts also. I really hope it's not the case. Unless they are planning on moving Fisher to the wing...

The back 6 is settled.

They just need to find a replacement for Dawson for a week.

I think it has worked well the last 2 weeks having actual defenders, with just Fisher as a "non-defender" I think having all or multiples of Fisher, McKercher and Sheezel destabilised it too much.

No coincidence the back 6 has looked more settled with 1 half back who can’t defend, rather then the 2-3 we had earlier stages in year. Means we take a hit with transition however simplifying it with 5 defenders and 1 running rebounder has worked well.

Hopefully Bergman in for Dawson for the 1 week, he is the 1 who played VFL who is a natural defender.

 

[ferball]

What the? He's 25 and nearly 100 games in. He should be performing to a high level regardless of who he's against.

He had 35 and a goal against Wines' side.

 

[speedy]

All training with the main group now.

Pink with forwards, McKercher backs.

That means LMac will be playing tall, possibly on Fritsch?
I thought the Dees were playing small up forward, but looking back at their team in rd13 they had Vanrooyen, Petty, Fritsch and Turner up forward. Petty possible playing back due to the absence of Lever?

 

[Passmore]

They looking fine? Surprised to see Mckercher training with the backs, would have thought he would play a wing role as the back 6 has finally got settled of late.

Bergman training with 1s or 2s?

Bergman im the yellow team. But so was Simpkin, Ford, Duursma, McKercher and Stephenson. Given it's basically 18 v 18 some of the "2's" will obviously play.

Colby will play in the VFL

Bring Zane into the midfield

LDU left training early and went straight into the rooms

The footy gods HATES us

 

[backtothedraft]

Regardless if he plays this week or not, the fact he's at least participating in full training is promising for LDU on an injury front. Hopefully he gets up for the game.

How early? Hopefully just a shortened session and did most in full. Did he look sore at all?

Na looked alright

 

[Cool Kangas]

I’ve done the maths. We need to be up by 12 goals at 3/4 time to win by a goal.

LDU left training early and went straight into the rooms

The fact that he (LDU) was training initially with the fitness test light rehab group & then was allowed & went into train with the main group gives us hope that he’ll be ok to go Saturday night .
Or you can look at it that he left training early was cos he felt something NQR & took himself off the track.
Even so the injury can’t be that detrimental if he went thru all that this morning.
My bet is that they are giving him till last minute Saturday & see how he goes. Worst case he misses one game & will be right for the Dogs the week after which on paper & form look like the hardest of the 2 opponents currently.

So maybe if we're lucky Jy for LDU
Will Phil to keep his spot.

Dees starting to look less winnable.

If the MRI thing is true and he’s in main training, means has been cleared of any injury. Needs to push through soreness as not many players this time of the year are 100%.

We need him to play and presuming he’s 95%+ he needs to play. Hopefully he just came off the track 5-10 mins before everyone else as got through it unscathed.

I think every other side would of rolled over with the lead we had on Sunday.

Had to be the bloody pies close game kings.

Yes but if we have any doubts we should not play him.
The fact that we have Kerch & more than likely Jy coming back should help cover LDU somewhat hopefully. We also can & should give more midfield minutes to Sheezel & Powell .

Agreed mate. I think he plays unless has aggravated something today. He has until Saturday night which is a bonus.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

As much as I want to beat the GoDeez, the last two weeks have been enough nourishment to get me through to R1 next year. If LDU aint cherry ripe, give him the week off (and re-sign him ffs). Give the fringe players a chance to show their wares before pre-season and secure the #1 pick.

Yes , hope he will be right to go but we must remember we are in this for the future & looking at our team without an LDU will be interesting.
We can still run Jy , Sheezel ,Wardlaw & Powell thru there. Not to mention WillPhill & Sheils to lesser degree .

 

[The Nostradamus]

Dees starting to look less winnable.

Shiels should be dropped also

I reckon Sheils is a good match up for Oliver if he decides to take extra strength white powder Sat night & get off the chain .

Will Phil was in the first team when they split into firsts vs seconds. Jy was in the seconds, LDU was in the firsts
