Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 12

[What 18,810]

Interesting they left out Grundy, but we kept Gawn

Looking at their team surely Grundy will be a late inclusion

Big move, IMO, keeping Gawn, especially when they've decided not to play Grundy. A lot of marking ability and we're going to stretch their undermanned defence, but will we have enough run?

[dee-luded 2,959]

Cross to Pendlebury?

What about Daisey?......oh no wait......

nup, to Sidebottom. hangon.

McKenzie to bury Pendle's

[CityDee 738]

Gawn is problematic for most backlines

Roosy wants him to fullfill his potential and help prolong Jamars career ?

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

Dry day!

[Adam The God 30,411]

We can always make a late change and switch Gawn out if the weather is looking grim. Not the team I would have gone with, but I'll trust Roos and his FD.

[McQueen 17,867]

Grundy didn't play in the magoo's today.

I reckon he'll play.

He will

Surprised Gawn survived the cut as I reckon he's the worst player in the squad- at the moment.

I don't subscribe to the theory of 'stretching their defence' because as soon as the tall blokes drop marks, the opposition invariably clear it out more often than not.

Having said that I'll leave it to Roos who's selections this year have been very good.

You are very magnanimous!

[monoccular 17,573]

The good thing is Maxwell wont be there to be the one that comes across and helps out the other defenders. We cant let Harry just run off the backline and use the ball. Have to man him up.

God point re Harry Alias - I wonder who wold be best suited to keep him accountable.

[DeeZee 7,445]

If Gawn and Dawes are inside 50, It means guys like Pedo and Watts can work the wings a bit more, and Salem and JKH can crumb, and play a bit more midfield as well.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,246]

We also have the option of sending Frawley back if Cloke looks starting to create havoc.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,966]

Jamie Elliot is very dangerous and has the ability to kick a couple very late in the game. I'm more concerned with shutting him down than cloke and think he is a harder match up. Maybe Jetta however for his size Elliot is deadly in the air. Who should go to him?

Garland will get Elliot.

[JV7 2,354]

Our fowarline of Dawes, Frawley, Pedersen, Gawn & Watts could really stretch there defence. They only have Frost, Keefe and Goldsack who isn't exactly a key defender. I'd assume Frost will go to Dawes, Keefe to Frawley. Maybe Goldsack to Pedersen ? I'm not too sure who will take Watts and Gawn when his down there... If we can win enough ball out of the middle we can defiantly win this game. Our backline is more than capable of matching up there forwards I'd also like to see Bail play the defensive roll on Langdon or Williams. I'd say:

McDonald to Cloke

Dunn to White

Garland to Elliott

Garland will get Elliot.

I'd say Jetta would.

[InVINCEable 358]

Maybe Jetta will go to Dwyer instead?

[Pirlo 813]

I guess Watts and Rolf will be running through the middle?

[JV7 2,354]

Another thing, who will be the sub ? I think it has to be JKH, as much as I don't want it to be. Salem was too good last week to be sub. Matt Jones would leave us a pure midfielder short. I think it has to JKH unfortunately.

I don't think it'll be JKH, we have too many talls in the forward line for no small.

Maybe Terlich?

Rolf is a rather unfortunate knickname.

I'd tip Dwyer will start sub.

Good point. Would like to have Salem & JKH both at the feet of the talls. I don't know if Terlich offers much as a sub. Will be interesting to see who they go with.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Happy 21st to Dom Tyson, let's celebrate with a win tomorrow!
