Changes for Gold Coast Round 5

Featured Replies

 

Make a statement - no changes

However - players I would like to see: Clisby, Strauss, Jamar, Blease.

Players in the spotlight: Evans, Georgiou, Terlich and Howe (will probably stay due to potential)

 

Maybe Garland for Terlich-that I'd like to see

I think Garland needs at minimum - 1 game at Casey. As Dawes said: match conditioning is huge and that's probably even more important in the backline.


The Suns are very quick. Under normal conditions I would be looking at Clisby but because of the Suns pace the only change I would make is Blease for Terlich. But this depends if Blease shows any defensive improvement for Casey.

Didn't Terlich do his hammy? That makes one clear change to the side. Contenders would be Clisby, Strauss and Blease depending on their performance for Casey. We won't be able to match the height the Suns will have on the field, but we may be able to match their run.

Clisby for Terlich for form regardless of injury.

I'm not convinced by the current talls set up as the lack of 2nd ruck and needing Pedersen to play back and second ruck is a risk.

 

Terlich could struggle to get back into the side.


I wouldn't have thought Georgiou would be in the gun unless Garland is going to come back and take that spot. Even then, I consider whether he couldn't stay in in Terlich's spot.

If Terlich is out it would be one of the best performed flanker/mids from tomorrow or Garlan if he is right. I still have a concern with only having one ruck, although I believe brining in another is a waste of a spot, unless they are a forward who can go into the ruck (which would be Gawn or Fitzpatrick).

What I'd really love to bring in is a gun half back flanker with serviceable defending, good speed and run, and great disposal and decision making. The play maker off the back flank role is currently being done by whoever has it, and if someone could really step up into that we'll be a long way further along in development!

If Garland is ready but Terlich is injured, then it takes away the need to make a tough decision. I can't see enough room for all of Garland, Georgiou, Pedersen, Howe and Terlich back there (in addition to "non-negotiables" McDonald and Grimes), but Col is easily the superior player of that lot so one will need to shift. None particularly deserve to go on recent form. I'd probably have dropped Georgiou with a heavy heart, or Terlich anyway.

As has already been said, all eyes to Casey now!

I would like to see Evans as the sub again, he came on with plenty of aggression and had some impact, I'd say no changes and I think Roos would agree. Good team effort yesterday but still heaps to improve on.

How can people be naming changes without seeing what happens in the VFL first?!

big day at Casey today, I reckon there will be one spot available vs the Suns as Terlcih will be out

Who will put their hand up?

Hoping Blease, Trengove and Toump all have blinders


I guess the emergencys for the last couple of weeks are contenders to replaceTerlich, Blease Nicholson maybe Trenners but we need leg speed imo

I'll tell you one thing right now. Georgiou is not getting dropped.

Agree. I don't know why it's even being thought of.

Why is Georgiou getting dropped? The Blues barely got any marks inside fifty (that being said, they didn't have much to kick to).
Terlich has injured his hammy. I would say this change would come out of necessity.
I would like to say Col Garland but he might need another week at Casey to get his fitness up so it's probably Sammy Blease for mine (also because of the type of team the Suns are).


Georgiou was great again and the amazing thing is you wouldn't even know he was out there unless you were looking for him

He just does his job and he has been so good that we havent even missed Chip or Dunn back there

He is 0% chance of getting dropped and I bet Roos and the coaching staff love him

Terlich or Pedersen will be the odd man out once Garland is ready to return, though Ive liked Pedos work lately

I hope that a winning unit is not just tampered with for the sake of tampering with it from now on. In years gone by, and yes even in the Daniher years, we would play blokes because of who they were. From now on, if you want a spot in the 22, you need to be kicking the door down to get in.
True, some blokes deserve an instant recall but I'm thinking others and that means Jesse Hogan will have to earn their spot.

 

Can't understand the want to drop Georgiou, has allowed Chip and Dunn to play forward and is a defender who actually defends.

Not all backmen need to make an impact they just need to do their job and defend.

And Garland is a superior upgrade... I know who I'd choose first.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
