Franklin is due for a big game. If Garland was available, I'd imagine he'd be the man. Frawley could be an inclusion if passed fit, he's playing much better and would be interesting to see him be opposed to Franklin. Martin could be it if Frawley is not in. He covers the ground very quick, as does Franklin.

I'm tipping Warnock for Roughead.

Rioli the magician. Wheels could be the man for him. Maybe Bennell if in.

Your thoughts?

Whelan on Rioli

Warnock on Roughead

Stef Martin on Buddy

done.

Even with Chip in I would have Warnock on Roughy and Martin on Buddy. Chip playing the loose man, dropping back and runnning out.

Rioli will be a real problem, I would probably start with Bennell and try Whelan on him while Bennell is resting.

Another player worth stopping is Bateman, Bartram is the obvious choice, he must be stopped.

Posted

Chip on Mark Williams I would've thought - if he is in.

I think he'll be held back another week.

Posted

Frawley on Williams if he plays. If not then Whelan might get him, but that match up hasn't worked for us over the years.

Warnock on Roughead, Martin on Franklin. And since we have to play Martin on Franklin, we must bring in another ruckman.

Posted

If Chip was In the side this week, i would say he gets a chance on buddy. He has the pace to match him, and has improved his body over the preseason, my thoughts are that he'd be a good match up on Buddy. However with him out, young Stef Martin would have to be the main contender with his massive leap and also firing pace. Warnock on Roughy, and Whelan or Grimes running off Williams. My thoughts are a close game this week if Millz and Robbo can fire.

Warnock on Franklin

Martin on Roughead

Whelan on Rioli

Frawley on Williams (subject to fitness)

*If Frawley doesn't come up for the match I'd expect Cheney to get Williams.

I can't see Warnock playing on Franklin, when Franklin pushes up the ground. Better that Warnock stays closer to goals. Therefore on Roughead.

So....Martin for Franklin and a ruckman IN. Or Frawley comes in and Martin and Johnson rotate in the ruck.

Whelan to Rioli.

Cheney to Williams.

EDIT - Frawley for Williams, if IN.

Posted

My tip would be:

Martin to Buddy, Warnock to Roughead, Cheney or Grimes on Williams, Bartram first crack at Rioli with Whelan back up (should Bartram be needed to do a tag in the midfield on possibly Bateman).

Posted

Warnock should get Roughead. Martin to Franklin.

Possibly Bruce to Williams - I'd back him to get the biscuits in that duel.

Bartram and McDonald will probably get Rioli and Bateman (interchangeable).

Probably have to go head to head with the other match-ups for the start at least.

Posted

Martin will probably get Buddy but I'd love to see Warnock have a shot on Buddy as well along with Frawley if he plays.

Warnock will probably get Roughead primarily.

I'd love to see a Davey V Rioli battle.

Davey on rioli would be delicious!!! but i think they will try to tag him out! or even bateman on davey would be good. Also considering it is indigenous round...

Bennel on rioli would be great!

I thin martin v buddy would be a good match up. i think martin has the speed and agility to almost match franklin. Warnock is better close to goal..

We will need a loose man to float in front of roughy and buddy... Green might get the go or maybe even petterd could do this role!

Posted

I'm more concerned about Williams than Buddy, because we don't have an obvious match-up, and he's destroyed us in the past:

Franklin - Martin

Roughhead - Warnock

Williams - Frawley if fit, otherwise Cheney

Rioli - Grimes

Bateman - Bartram

Mitchell - Bruce

I wouldn't want Green to go back, but I reckon the loose man role would be best suited to Bruce.

Some people might not agree but I think Bruce plays best in those sorts of positions

Your thoughts?

I think our only hope with lance is either someone has a "somewhat confrontation" with him in the carpark pre-game or else use transendental Meditation on him to make him believe he is in fact living out his childhood fantasy, by playing for THE DEMONS. One of there Forwards is going to kick a lot of goals-too many options unless the supply is dried.

Posted

Whelan may go to Williams.

I wouldn't mind seeing Grimes, because I think he's an excellent reader of the ball/play, helping out on Franklin with Martin manning him - how's Rivers going?

Warnock to Roughead.

Bartram to start on Rioli?

A lot of tough matchups, especially without Rivers and Garland

This IMO is where Rivers comes back in to play that supportive lose man back to give a chop out.

I reckon either Frawley, or Whelans hardness could be very helpfull against Williams. If not maybe Grimes.

I like Bartram or Cheney for Rioli.

I like Warnock for Buddy inside the 50arc with Dunn or someone tall, quick & agile to pick him up upfield.

Martin could be good for Roughy.

Rivers down there would be usefull.

Posted

Agree with Mo in that Williams is far more effective and consistent

Have to be in the top 5 kicks for goal in the AFL IMO

Buddy is far below expectations from last year although his upside is awesome

Posted
I'm more concerned about Williams than Buddy, because we don't have an obvious match-up, and he's destroyed us in the past:

Bell in with orders to smash williams, run off him, and kick goals from 60m out.

I'm gonna thrash this son of a sheep farmer home.

Go Belly!

Posted

While I like Bell, who would you drop for him?

I'm hard pressed to find room for Green, Bennell, Rivers (if fit)

Hm. How about we drop the wackness of Dunn and the old Valentino?

It's a funny thing. I was watching a Hawthorn game a few weeks ago and heard the comment from some idiot in the box that he'd never seen someone keep Buddy quiet so well. This while Franklin lined up for his 3rd goal. Now I could be wrong, but didn't Warnock keep him to 1 last year?

So, for my vote I say let Warnock slap the little [censored] all over the park again.

Roughhead goes to Martin more or less by default, although it's a very good matchup for us.

I think Rioli might be too fast for Wheelan or Bennell. Not sure who we have with enough pace to go with him. Perhaps put Davey on the half back flank?

Wheelan to take Williams to the cleaners. Bennell to sub with him.

I'd also like to see Green playing in the forward line on Hodge. He's got the defensive skills to keep Hodge from creating, and his marking and accurate kicking mean that Hodge can't afford to leave him.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
