(Concussion), Mitch Duncan (Managed), Ted Clohesy (Omitted)

 

[you pick one]

I thought Atkins was a confirmed in.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Wise week to manage Duncan. Long flight to Perth to come in a must win game for top 4.
Two good ins. Would prefer to move past Stanley but is what it is.

Outs are logical. Forced concussion, rested and a youngster because who else really. No whipping boys (Parfitt, Mullin, MOC) to drop instead.

 

[cats_09]

I thought Atkins was a confirmed in.

The club has listed him as an in

Seems an error on the listed sheet that has Rohan still on the field even though he's out with concussion

Selected sides re their listed positions you have to tread carefully

However Miers listed on the Inter Change bench , is there anything to read into that , given that Mannagh is in the side and playing well

I think the team sheets are currently a little incorrect since they still list Rohan in the team and we know he's out

But team sheets on a Thursday night don't mean much - final team an hour before the match is more important

 

[patience]

What! No melts?

 

[Heckler]

Atkins and Stanley strengthen Cats Midfield
Tuohy replaces Duncan who was managed
Clohesy out : Didn't impress in limited time.

No, I think anyone with a direct interest in the team values Gryan immensely

 

[And_ROOS]

I mean Miers was in the coaches votes from last week, so there is nothing to read into it. Even if he started on the bench, which I doubt he does, it would be for the first 3 or 4 minutes before a rotation is made.

 

[Lana]

They've loaded up their midfield. If we bring heat around the ball we'll be fine

 

[cats_09]

Oh my God, still?!

"Where is Hardie..."
"What more does Hardie have to?"
"Does Scott know Hardie is on our list?"
"Hardie will go to a new club next year and show us" -

Plus
"Stanley is finally back , or
"WTF, why is Stanley and Tuohy back"

Yeah, nah.

 

[nohairandfair]

Playing with fire keeping Bews in. His unpressured turnovers are such a liability and directly result in goals against.

Team selection is at times hard to fathom in 2024.

Think the main reason he kept his spot was due to managing Duncan this week

IF Duncan returns against Fremantle, I wouldn't be surprised if it's at the expense of Bews

 

[D BRIDGE]

Stanley in to be the sacrificial lamb V the goat ROB.

ROB monsters Stanley for fun and would manhandle SDK.

So I'm good for Stanley to have one last crack at some revenge, whilst protecting SDK.

Honestly Stanley must know this is last chance saloon so I wonder if we get the yearly "Stanley purple patch" where he plays 4 top quality games.

Would be a good time for them to happen.

If the game is decided by the inclusion or exclusion of Bews, so much has gone wrong already that Bews couldn't possibly be held responsible for it

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Stanley back in is logical best week to give sdk a breather.

So what do you think in terms of sub? You and I have shared the view that this year I think it has always come from the named i/c (I don’t think there has been an exception?)

But this named interchange is interesting as I can’t see anyone on there I would expect to be sub….other than 2E. Given the role Bowes played last week (he was very good lock down) he would be desperately unlucky but I suppose with Atkins back he could be logical?

Although this list doesnt have atkins in the team and has Rohan in the pocket? And atkins would not be in the forward pocket so maybe interchange mix changes when corrected?

 

[cats_09]

Updated team sheet…finally

We’ve finally got an updated team sheet with Rohan out & Atkins added - Henry moves from the bench to the pocket in place of Rohan and Atkins jumps onto the bench

So the bench now looks like: Atkins, Bowes, Bruhn, Miers & Tuohy

If we take it that the sub will come from the bench, I’m going with Atkins or Tuohy as sub, leaning a little towards Axe as he’s someone who’ll goo 100% from the time he enters the field no matter what stage of the match it is - plus it will allow him to ease back in after a fortnight off due to hamstring/back issues
