PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Sydney

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,702]

Pruessy, about effn time, big Maxy might have some fuel in the tank in the last quarter now.

ANB the honeymoon is over son.

 

[Deesprate 1,324]

I just hope they try something different.Why not give Preuss a go in the ruck and start Max forward. If we go with stock standard plans we will lose. Requires something out of the box.

[Jaded No More 68,907]

I assume TMac will be a late out and Gawn will spend more time floating back to help our defence. Preuss will help in the ruck and rest forward and poor Weids will be saved from the horror of having to take Centre ruck contests.

I agree. I would play max forward for 1/2 a quarter and preuss the other half. At this stage it is worth a try.

KK out with a head knock - has to be serious doubts over his future as a footballer

I really hope not - like to see Preuss ruck the majority of the game and stick Max within 30 metres of the goal line - hard to match up him

Let Weid and TMac run around 50m arc hopefully taking some marks 

[CHF 2,736]

Good to see Preuss in as it will give us a few options to try during the match and will have Sydney asking some questions as to how we may set up.

If Preuss can more than hold his own in the ruck it will give us a chance to swing Max forward and possibly use TMac to shore up the defence if required. It will just make us a bit more flexible. 

I see Jones has been named on a HBF. a good thing if he is played there in my opinion as he should give some critical leadership support to the defence.

Bit late in his career to start I'd have thought

You'd have to wonder. Poor bloke. Gotta be hard on the psyche

[Nasher 33,613]

I assume Kade Kolodjashnij’s career is over, just like Angus Brayshaw’s was. 

[GCDee 3,199]

Expect Weid to have a ripping game. 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,775]

So if TMac doesn't get up then it's Petty in ?? Or Spargo as sn additional small?

And others might hold off on the declarations of career ending concussions for that very reason - that was my smarmily sarcastic point.

Weid should be good in the Sydney grass.

Looking forward to Rampe and Aliir taking a combined 25 intercept marks tomorrow night.

I wasn't declaring his career over simply stating the facts - his playing future  must be in doubt given his history of concussions - just like it was for Angus Brayshaw
