No real big omissions there besides Brad Ottens. Thomas is back for the Pies which would please a few.

Also an interesting article from the AFL website about Geelong likely to make some late changes.

Great to see Beams still in there with Daisy back. It'll be good to compare him and Zaharakis for another week before their price rises, i'm passing on Robinson as i don't think he'll get as much T.O.G. with starting 22 players coming back in.

 

[crazyman27]

Toney I'm in the same boat, but still not 100% sure about passing on Robinson.

Everyone at carlton disagrees mate. He brings something to our team that really, no one else can

You cant ignore Zaharakis' 87% TOG and debut though... In a team that is struggling with injuries.

 

[tonemeister]

I'll take that onboard Quazza, but in the end it's not going to matter that much if i pass as the good rookies average around 60 anyway. Beams and Zaha will be there abouts and i already have Otten on the bench so if i took Robo he's just an extra cow, so to speak.

 

[Quazza]

Just noticed that says Swan on the bench. Pies fans-Has he actually been named and started there in the first couple of rounds?

He was round 1, can't recall last week...jes search for the rd 2 teams thread.

 

[panga]

Swan starts on the bench every game. Without doubt.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

I expect Rocca to be a late inclusion for L.Brown/Dick, not that it effects any DT'ers.

 

[sdsdsdsd]

Hmm i think the Pies will have a good chance in this game, could possibly turn out similiar to last year. Cats aren't playing the best footy and Thompson said there was most likely gonna be some changes. Could go Swan for captian

Also this should worry some Corey owners

Geelong
B: Andrew Mackie, Matthew Scarlett, Darren Milburn
HB: Joel Corey, Harry Taylor, Max Rooke
C: Jimmy Bartel, Corey Enright, Cameron Ling
HF: James Kelly, Cameron Mooney, Mathew Stokes
F: Paul Chapman, Tom Hawkins, Steve Johnson
Foll: Mark Blake, Joel Selwood, Gary Ablett
Int: Trent West, Shannon Byrnes, Travis Varcoe, David Wojcinski

123 and 106 in his last two games against them, could be a good choice, especially if we win.

 

[Virgil]

Also this should worry some Corey owners

HB: Joel Corey

Not really, he's played pretty deep in defense for both of the first few weeks and still managed 100 each time. I think it will have had something to do with the rotations Geelong have been putting in place to combat the 5-day turnaround. You won't see Corey Enright named in the middle all that often I wouldn't have thought. Besides, team sheets and team line-ups can often be fairly different. I'm not worried.

 

[panga]

I expect Rocca to be a late inclusion for L.Brown/Dick, not that it effects any DT'ers.

No way. Rocca won't play, he's not fit at all.

 

[GrandBlue]

*Praying*

Please, for the love of god, Paul Roos... Put Daniel Currie in the side!

 

[JuddyBuddy]

Meh, I take zero notice of where players are named. As if a team is gonna commit to that exact structure days before a match.

Exactly, it doesn't mean anything. O'bree named in the forward pocket, there's no way he'll actually play there.

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

No way. Rocca won't play, he's not fit at all.

I just don't see the point naming him as emergency if he isn't fit, so I think he could come in.

 

[Bond.ShaneBond]

Corey has been named half back all year.

 

[Juddy88]

Hearing whispers Ablett may be in some doubt..

 

[Decipher]

POssible Ankle issue.
leave him on your field maybe consider setting someone else as capitan though... might get less ToG

 

[Athomas]

Muahahahahaha if Ablett is injured.

Bartel > Ablett

Was tossing up between them all pre season, but Durability led me to Bartel.

 

[Juddy88]

I don't think they'd really decrease his tog too much. more worried about the late withdrawal factor.

 

[Funkalicous]

What kind of whispers, Chinese?
