MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 12

Featured Replies

Well done to Stretch for retaining his spot as a starter.

My bench would be ANB, Michie, M Jones (Riley)

 

Stretch in first 18 is notable

'

I had him in my starting 18 for this week

Didnt have Dawes in though

What the actual [censored]?

3:20 on a sunday and channel 7 arent showing the game live?!

pathetic as usual by them.

might be doing us a favour.
 

Last time I went to Geelong we won ...after the siren.


It's a shocking bench, let's be honest. The upside is that at full strength that entire group of seven would be at Casey.

I don't think we can play Spencer with Gawn, I don't really want to see what Terlich looks like at AFL level when he's not even coming off VFL form, so of the remaining five I'd drop Riley who gives us nothing.

That leaves us with Bail, M Jones, MIchie and ANB, any of whom could be the sub tbh.

 

The 3.20 pm was the killer for me.

Puts the game finish time at close to 6 pm on the shortest day of the year which means that if I stay to the end I'll be driving home on that dark godforsaken stretch of highway in a foul mood.

Still, I hope the boys can hear me cheering them on from the loungeroom while I watch the game on Foxtel.

Was considering going down to Simonds for the first time in my life... until I saw the time slot.

According to CH10 news the game is sold out, as it is Enrights 300th.....even more reason to avoid the place!

I only know one person who has taken more deliberate shots to the head than Joel Selwood and that was a girl from Brighton.

Spot on.

You know we are really scraping the bottom of the barrel when Dean Terlich has to be named on an extended bench.

Oh god.

10 goal loss (at least) coming up.

What shocking depth we have.

You write this almost as if our lack of depth is surprising to you.

We were always going to be in this position with a few injuries.

I like Riley, Spencer and Dawes in although not from all of a pure football management perspective.

And i think that's what you'll find. Good thinking by Roos to do it.

We have a few young blokes in there and old heads don't go astray metaphorically speaking

Given what the bench is I'd go with Riley as sub, M. Jones, Spencer & Terlich as emergencies with Spencer the carry over player.

I was initially calling for Michie to be dropped, but instead I reckon give him this game to rotate through midfield & half back. If he has another shocker he'll be VFL bound for the rest of the year.

They can't continue to drop Michie and bring him up every 2nd week and expect to make an impact. Give him 6 games in a row to see what he can offer. Im a fan of his and he has been unfairly treated.

Michie I'm afraid doesn't impact with his possessions, doesn't tackle much and lacks a yard of pace. A limited footballer IMO.


Me too!

Always wondered who the other supporter there was....

Its pathetic they allow about 100 opposition supporters in.

Stretch in first 18 is notable

I reckon Stretch looks at home in the seniors. He goes missing a bit but once around the ball, his efforts are good and he doesn't seem rushed at all.

Michie I'm afraid doesn't impact with his possessions, doesn't tackle much and lacks a yard of pace. A limited footballer IMO.

You my full support chook for whatever it is worth

  • 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.
