MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - ROUND 20

[titan_uranus 25,016]

Pedersen for Hogan makes sense. Vince and Jones taking JKH's and Trengove's spots also makes sense.

Hannan has been "rested" - probably not a bad idea, assuming it's true, and gives Maynard a taste.

This game is winnable. GWS has hardly played a good game for two months.

On a side note, how stupid is it that we haven't played GWS in over a year after playing them twice in two games.

I was thinking the same thing.

Since we last played GWS, they've played Sydney five times.

Not sure why Weiderman wasn't picked?

I assume its because the FD think Pederson is more likely to perform at the required level.

Weiderman will have his time over the coming years, but now we need to win a few games and make finals and I agree with the FD that Pedo is more likely to deliver.

It's an easy decision pedo backs up gawn in the ruck, McDonald is much more likely to have a day out than pedo up forward so he needs to stay close to goal, the weed just is not ready and I would just leave him at Casey now for the rest of the year

Happy they didn't pick Weid, has had a few decent games at VFL level but hardly banging the door down.  Pedo matched or even bettered him the last few games so to me its a no brainer.

Feel bad for Trenners, if he gets not interest for trades, maybe we can delist him and rookie him like we did with Jetta, we still need strong leaders in the VFL for the development of the kids.

Strange that there is no time frame on Jesse, not even a minimum.

Hannan did looked pretty cooked last week, freshen him up to come back hopefully with a bang.

Never rated JKH , hasn't been too bad playing as an inside mid, alot better there than forward, but still think he is lacking in many areas, especially defensive.

Be really nice to win tomorrow.

JKH has been named in the back pocket in the VFL

Guess Goody told Plappy to sort his defensive deficiencies out.

Because he is still a kid.. Can't play through injury and can't tuck. Playing him last year killed us when we needed a presence at CHF! Here's hoping this is a game where Pedersen stands up and makes the AFL take notice. How good would a big bag of 5 be?

Just returned to Jimbaran from the (snow sic mud) ski slopes of the Ijen volcano in time to do likewise!

blunstone oval runs north south (like shitehad). anyone know if canberra oval is north/south or east/west?

if east/west the wind won't advantage any end unduly as the wind is mainly from the north but will still make conditions tricky

Yep pretty much North/South, slight orientation to the right if centre. Looks miserable (particularly definitely you are a sheep) a 2-3 wind advantage to the southern end.

Playing him this year killed us, no impact.

Rory Lobb is the big danger, he perfectly fits the mould of tall forwards who destroy us.

Will we learn after last week's disastrous efforts with Ben Brown?

[Mike 320]

Hard to fathom that Corey Maynard hadn't played a game of footy in ten years prior to this season. And now he's playing an AFL game.

Given how far he has come in such a short time Corey is a very weird combination of a 26 y.o with some serious upside. 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

It is confirmed that Patton is out.

Again, so important that we manage to stop Lobb who was always going to be the biggest thread because of his size.

Jetta will most likely end up having to play on him.
