Changes vs Brisbane

[What 18,810]

One certain out wih Nev Jetta copping 2 weeks at the tribunal.

In - McKenzie, Strauss, Fitzpatrick

Out - Jetta (susp), Viney (rest/quad), Clark (ankle).

Who would you guys bring in?

[Older demon 2,669]

Oh I wish we could bring Hogan in!!!

[Older demon 2,669]

On a serious note, D's played well with Clarke of because we finally got some run and given Brisbane are quick I think Mckenzie to tag Rich, Blease for pace and Strauss so Jack can go up forward with Jetta, Viney and Clarke missing

Out - Jetta (susp), Viney (rest/quad), Clark (ankle).

McKenzie, Strauss probably Sellar if Clark misses maybe another small (Blease) with Big Max already in. Not sure the big Fitz is ready yet.

Looks like the best options Older D.

However swapping Mckenzie for Viney is like trading in your Merc for a Chery.

But The options are probably low.

[Roost It 1,434]

OUT: Jetta, Clark, Viney, Watts

IN: Strauss, Kent, Blease, Rodan

I thought the same OD, that Gawn played deeper than Clarke had, & we had another running player after late in the game which helped our surge.

It was the tonic to kickstart us

[Dr. Gonzo 23,700]

Outs: Jetta, Viney & Clark

Ins: McKenzie, Blease & J MacDonald

It's hard trying to pick players to come in. Would like to see Taggert, Tynan & Kent get a run at some stage but unsure how they've been travelling in the reserves.

I'd also put Sylvia in the centre, Watts up forward next to Gawn/Jamar/Pedersen and Blease on a forward flank. I'd put J Mac on the back flank to replace Watts.

Jamar doesn really fit as he is too one dimensional but with Clark out and Spencer/Fitzpatrick not offering much more as a second ruck at this stage I'd keep Jamar as the no. 1 ruck and Gawn as his back-up.

I'd like them to set up as

B: Garland Frawley Terlich

HB: MacDonald McDonald Grimes

C: Evans Sylvia M. Jones

HF: Byrnes Howe Blease

F: Davey Gawn Watts

R: Jamar N. Jones Trengove

I/C: Pedersen Bail McKenzie

Sub: Tapscott

[Young Dee 1,303]

Dunn should be right by now so:

Out: Clark, Jetta and Viney (if injured or needs rest)

IN: Dunn, Mckenzie and Strauss or Spencer (probably to many talls but he deserves a chance)

I think a few have forgotten how hand Dunn is.

Would like to have Blease come in but I think he is in a similar boat as Watts and needs to show consistent good form at Casey (3-4 weeks)

Would also like to see Kent come in but according to reports his form on the weekend does not warrant it (and can't let one sided players in the team now - no defense).

[titan_uranus 24,581]

Out: Jetta, Clark, Viney

In: McKenzie, Rodan, Kent

There's no obvious replacement for Clark. Dawes isn't ready, Fitzpatrick isn't good enough, Sellar doesn't deserve his spot back. Let Pedersen and Gawn/Jamar do the bulk of the big forward work.

Rodan and McKenzie fill in for Jetta and Viney. Kent gets a game due to his VFL form.

[PaulRB 6,297]

IN: Sellar, Strauss, Mckenzie, maybe Rodan.

[stuie 7,374]

IN: McKenzie, Strauss, Blease (if Viney out)

OUT: Clark, Jetta, Viney (if injured)

Watts forward for 3 weeks to make or break him, if break then Casey until he dominates consistently.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,836]

Assuming Viney is injured although not mentioned in list. Assume they will play Sellar but I would go with more run.

In Strauss, McKenzie, Rodan

Out Jetta, Clark, Viney

[Je Roos Salem 661]

In- Mckenzie, Blease, Strauss (and Magner if able to)

Out- Jetta, Clark, Terlich

Put Watts in the forward line!

Only put Viney out if unfit, just cause he had one bad game doesn't mean he should be rested/dropped

I think there could be as many as 4 changes, but I think they'll try to settle the side, so I can see 2 certain, & maybe 3 changes...

Potentials from the last weeks: Cam Pedersen, Michael Evans, Rohan Bail, Matt Jones,,,, > Jimmy Toumpas, James Sellar, Jake Spencer, & add: McKenzie, Strauss, Dawes, Rodan, Blease, Kent,

IMO, we need to be Not too tall up in the heat... so I'd keep the rucks the same, IF Dawes comes straight in, he'd be my replacement for Clarke.

I'd have Pedro deep, or watts may go forward in the greasy conditions. Myself I'm on record that I think Watts should be at Casey for a month, but I'm trying to anticipate what the selectors will do.

I'd like to see McKenzie come straight in to the Mids, as this team is light on for tenacity, hardness, experience, & physical strength... McKenzie for Viney

the Half-Backline needs fortifying with a decent midsized flanker. Dunn has been out for weeks, so this should see Strauss get his deserved shot.

thats 2 ins: or 3 if Dawes comes in...

[Gorgoroth 12,701]

No big forward means Merrett is going to spoil or mark everything if we bomb it in.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Terlich?

Bit harsh I know, but I'd be willing to give Strauss a go over him, and he hasn't impressed me too much yet

[DemonWA 3,884]

Bit harsh I know, but I'd be willing to give Strauss a go over him, and he hasn't impressed me too much yet

Terlich does all of the hard stuff that strauss doesnt!

If Clark & Dawes both miss, then Watts can play CHF, and strauss can take the distributor role on the HBF

[stuie 7,374]

No big forward means Merrett is going to spoil or mark everything if we bomb it in.

Gawn/Jamar, Pedo, possibly Spencer or Sellar?

Fitzy doesn't seem the right option going by Casey form.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

You serious? Terlich has been a bloody good find.

You crazy man, you crazy.
