I saw Chandler as the travelling emergency, likely to be the sub if needed. I didn’t see anyone else in the rooms post game. Petty was out on the ground with a trainer and later Burgo after the game doing his kms for not playing, so he was a travelling emergency. Looked to be moving absolutely fine. I know this because after the game they blew the siren a second time which meant you cold go out onto the ground for a kick. I'm not entirely sure that the club staff or ground security were fully aware of this because they had to hasten to stop people going inside the forward 50 arcs where Petty was up one end and the North sub was at the other. I was in a foot race with a security guard because I wanted to hit Petty up on the lead a couple of times with my son's AusKick footy. If I didn't have my backpack on I reckon I could have laced him out at least once but it slowed me down too much and the 50 was secured by the time I got there. 2 2 1 3
binman 44,835 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Petty and tommo both trained over preseason as the lockdown full back. Both started the preseason in the frame for that role. Tommo won the spot because of a super preseason. And I think petty also had a slight interruption. Tmac was great down back yesterday. But he is not, and has never been a deep lock down defender. Petty will now take the role. 8

He's in the same boat as Melksham - will our coach fall in love with his upside or be honest about his glaring weaknesses? He's not in the same boat as Melksham. He actually did something on sunday!
Pulp Fritschon 774 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 In: Petty, Weideman, Sparrow Out: Tomlinson, Baker, TMac, Jones
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Out- Tomlinson, Baker In - Weid, Sparrow TMac to defense If Fritsch suspended, TMac stays forward and Petty in to defense Harmes another option if we want him in the Viney role but I reckon Sparrow should be given first crack

Brown will not be getting dropped. 3

We're talking about replacing a long-term injured player's role. Has to be Petty. 2

Petty was scratchy in his one start this season but he's the right type. Hopefully, we can get him going. 1
Grouse 207 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 I would like to see tmac stay back and weid come in but it will never happen. I just can't understand the calls for harmes to be brought back. Even though others thought he did well in the vfl I thought he looked very ordinary. Sparrow looked much better. Also didn't notice kozzi rotating through the midfield this week. Looked good there for small stints previously. Thoughts? 2
buck_nekkid 6,103 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Petty for Tommo. Isn’t it nice we have a swing man like Tom who can roll back and cover if needed? Tom is better applying pressure and linking up for us a HFF. 1
dino rover 714 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 16 hours ago, DeeSpencer said: Brown was ordinary. I was surprised by how slow he was. I accept that his first game back will be not necessarily his best. Just by his size and contest he got us some crumbing goals I suppose but I also felt we reverted to a "kick it to the big fella" forward entry approach which hadnt been so evident. 1
640MD 3,569 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Minimal changes. To the team and structure Tmac stays back harmes for Viney Weid in for Tomlinson I think Sparrow in Baker out. Brayshaw back on his wing Jones med sub again thats assuming Frirz plays the longer term lineup can be planned after seeing how Weid and BBB go together in the seniors Go you good things. Well played no 5. 1
Red and Blue realist 2,063 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Sparrow for Baker - Brayshaw back to the wing, he might not be as quick but his decision making into 50 is so much better than Bakers. I'd actually run with TMac back this week against the Swans, I think long term Petty should come in, but we need to bring Weid in and this offers us the flexibility to do that. Melksham wasn't great, but I don't see him being dropped after that game, plus if Rampe is back he should be an option to disrupt him. If not I'd be happy to see Chandler get a run. So in: Sparrow & Weid Out: Baker & Tomo (with Jones back to med sub)
PartyTimeJohnny 537 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Did anyone else see Salem finished with this jacket on? Anyone know if he's carrying anything?
DeeSpencer 26,681 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 If Brown and T Mc was top heavy and didn't function why is anyone signing up for the idea of Brown and Weid together at AFL level? Even if Fritsch is out that's 2 big lumbering forwards which is at least 1, probably 2 too many. Have you all been living under rocks for the last 4 years and missed Richmond winning flags based on pressure? 1
Doug Reemer 1,208 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Haven't watched the full replay yet. Looks like Tmac went back to cover Tomlinson and did ok, assuming he stays there. Surely Weid comes in and plays fwd with Brown. Harmes in for Baker. Chandler has to come in for Melksham.
Sydney_Demon 1,175 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 17 hours ago, leave it to deever said: Our midfield depth is an issue for me. Viney always has this foot problem. When Oliver is held like he was for three qrts Trac has do do it all. Jones is way past his midfield days. Jordan is good but if Trac or Oliver are injured...we are cooked. More games into Sparrow. Who else is there? We've got one of the best mid-fields in the AFL. Harmes is now back. Kozzie can play midfield. Sparrow, Jordon, Brayshaw could move there. I can't believe the negativity in these posts. We're 7 zip and we actually beat North Melbourne by 5 goals in Tassie despite playing fairly ordinarily for most of the game. North played by far their best game this year and in this comp if you're slightly off your game you're in trouble. Even the best sides have the odd bad game. For God's sake let's jump on rather than off. Go Dees! 2
Kent 2,920 Posted May 2, 2021 Posted May 2, 2021 Got my tickets to the Game after once again being timed out halfway through the purchase on two occasions Then timed out again and dint know whether i had tickets or not Had to reapply and then by magic the SMS arrived with my second selection Must have been a lot of people getting tickets as the site was close to frozen a couple of times. God I hate that site!

Even his field kicking has gone up a notch!
