JLT Round 4 Team Changes


Steve Lattimer

Recommended Posts

Assuming we go with 24 again:

In: Tyson, Watts, Kent, Jetta

Out: Harmes, Johnstone, ANB, Smith

FB: Jetta  Oscar  Hibberd
HB: Vince  Tom  Hunt
C: Lewis  Viney  Stretch
HF: Petracca  Hogan  Brayshaw
FF: Watts  Weed  Vanders
Foll: Gawn  Oliver  Jones
Int: Melksham, Tyson, Kent, Bugg + Spencer (or Pedersen, just another tall forward to get a different combinaton) and JKH.

Would like Joel Smith to have another run as well so if there was a way to keep him in I'd take it.

Most of the consensus seems to be that we will try to field our strongest side (albeit that there's some non-negotiables for a few players to get past first).  If Kent and Tyson are right they come straight in.  Johnstone goes out and I think Harmes is in trouble.  Can't see them changing Spencer for Pedersen TBH, they could've done that already and are keen to give both Max time up forward and Jake some extended ruck time.   I'm not sure that might not be how we start the season off as well with Jesse moving up the field.  Jett's is fighting for a spot with Melksham not Smith IMO and I think Goodie will favour Melksham's running.  With Wagner going down I think Smith will play rd 1 with Hibberd - both can play tall or small and both are good rebounders.

No real problems with your thinking but I would like to see Watts play the next game, alongside Hogan, Petracca and Weideman. All four are skilled and unselfish players who I believe will augment each other playing in the same team. Also looking forward to seeing Garlett playing alongside them in the season proper as his last game also saw some unselfish acts, focussed on the team, not unlike Weideman gifting goals to Hogan and Viney on Saturday that he could easily have slotted himself.

p.s. Be nice to see Trenners get a run in the JLT series.

I think I heard Dom say he won't play the next practice match. 

If interchange reduced I say Johnstone and spencer out.

No one in. Unless Jetta is right

I could be wrong, I wasn't paying close attention but Ben Dixon interviewed Tyson at the game... Tyson said he was aiming to be back for the next game. So will be interesting to see how he goes.

I've got a feeling we'll have a practice match this week which could be Huge for Watts and a few others to attempt to make the rd 1 side.

My gut feeling is though they won't make too many changes to build some team chemistry... so boys are going to have to work hard to break in to the side..... which that is absolutely sensational. Since when have we seen that at the Dees???

I 'think we will see a lot of consistency this year and not mass changes. Team selection is going to be very interesting to see if Goody gives a few a run or goes with chemistry for round 1. And the team we play couldn't be a better practice. The flat tracker WCE will be a perfect trial for round 1.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
