CHANGES: Rd 23 vs Geelong

[Demonland 72,170]

Who comes in and who goes out for our chance to win the Minor Premiership?

[WERRIDEE 5,473]

IN: MAY, VINEY, MCDONALD

OUT: J.SMITH, SPARROW, MELKSHAM

May and TMac come back in. Viney maybe.  Smith played well be will lose his spot. 

[Nascent 9,212]

Out: Smith, Sparrow, Melksham

In: May, Viney, McDonald

We rarely make multiple changes  particularly coming off a win, but I think these are clear upgrades from our 22 today.

Good game from Smith as well, perhaps Hibberd might feel nervous.

[Nasher 33,613]

Out: Smith, Jordon, Sparrow 

In: May, McDonald, Viney

Doesn’t Viney have another week?

Edit: nope.

Just put Brayshaw in the middle for a bit - he's a natural midfielder, and I know he's been doing a great job defensively on that wing, but I reckon he'd be better in the middle than Harmes/Sparrow combined. Who goes on the wing? Harmes? Viney?

[Demongirl35 1,053]

Out: sparrow, Jordan 

In: may and tmac/Viney  

I reckon keep smith in

and put Brayshaw  more in the middle and move rivers or salem in his spot on the wing

Agree, one minor modification!
Smith played pretty well, possibly stays as medi-sub, VDB out.

Any injuries? Saw Kozzie had some strapping on thigh at one stage

Think he missed last and alt his week, so good to replace Sparrow!

[titan_uranus 25,014]

The most obvious one is May for Smith. I'll admit I'm terribly biased against him but I didn't rate that game from Smith anywhere near as highly as others. Hasn't curbed his desire to run and push up the ground but was caught out of position a number of times by losing track of his opponent, getting sucked up the ground and then burnt on transition. Very handy depth and good to get a game into him pre-finals if we need him, but he goes straight out if May's fit.

We're better with Viney than we are with Sparrow or Jordon based on their games today, so I think that's a second change.

TMac should come back in as well, then the question becomes whether it's the other of Sparrow/Jordon, or Melksham. 

Brayshaw didn't get near it all day but having played all season, and with the ball on the other wing for lots of the game, I'd be surprised if he gets dropped now.

Nope, done his 2.

Sparrow and Jordon both omitted, Smith to make way for May (played well so unfortunate but credit where it’s due).

Melksham, Brayshaw put on notice.

[Northern Summer 292]

In: McDonald, May

Out: Sparrow, Jordan

Medical sub: either Viney or Smith (one in the side)

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,775]

If the Bye week gets cancelled then I reckon we should consider a rest for one or two of Jordan, Kozzie, Salem

Could run Jones in, preserve Smith, and maybe leave Sparrow in (although he's out for finals)

Salem's been sore for weeks

[dl4e 5,851]

In. Viney TMAC and May

Out. Melksham Sparrow Hibberd.

If TMAC is not 100% right then the weed.

No weed.....  we have shown the last 3 weeks we don't need him

I like Spargo, don't get me wrong. Probably Melksham in reality.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,173]

I think its pretty clear cut. Anyone sore other that needs to be managed like May this week. 

May for Smith

Viney for Sparrow

TMac for Melksham

i'm not sure why they played Salem today to be fair if that is the case

[ucanchoose 1,816]

I can't see them managing people if top 2 are on the line.   Home final in Perth for top or away in Adelaide for 3rd.

[brendan 3,437]

I think the bigger question is what do we do if dogs beat port do we then make some late changes to give some a rest, like bringing in daw for Gawn or giving trac a rest, or do we not flirt with it and go all out to win 

[Kent 2,909]

Smith not good enough out MAY in

T Mac in

Kossie out Jones in

Melksham stays
