Changes for Gold Coast Round 5


Grapeviney

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
