Goodwin described it as a contusion. Watched him closely at ground level and he was hobbling the whole game. Reckon we might be without him. ??? Based on his presser hes playing next week, he literally said he got a kick to the calf and was pretty sore, but a good rest off the legs and recovery he will play...... 1

chookrat 4,268 Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 I'm going to defend ANB. On many occasions he was surrounded by at least 3 Swans players with no support. He works hard and gets in the right spots to defend, link up or make a contest but he's not the sort of dynamic player to win in these sort of situations. ANB fumbled a bit but he wasn't alone. 1

Kicked one reasonable 'on the end of a chain' goal but certainly didn't impress or look a likely dangerous forward. JVR was better on Sunday and has shown more signs (on occasions) of being a viable forward option at some point next season & onwards. He might even be ready (just) for a short stint at AFL level now. Not in a final though for mine. The forward at Casey that actually looks the most dangerous (in a form / goal kicking / accuracy) sense right now is, weirdly enough, Mitch Brown. Would he get picked? Highly doubt it. Mitch Brown knows how to play like a forward at least give him a shot I say and Dunstan to replace Brayshaw in the middle Gus back to half back / wing 1

I doubt he will get up for next week. Goody also said that TMac could be in the mix depending on how he trains today. It is stating the bleeding obvious to say we need to do something different with the forward set up. I wouldn’t be averse to JVR and Bedford coming in, but doubt that will happen. Melksham, as good as he was against Carlton, is past it. Brown won’t get dropped, even though he was embarrassing last night. He needs to play within the 50 metre arc and stop this ridiculous running up the ground. I would have Bowey in, he is tough, smart and always hits a target. Maybe push Salem to defensive wing. Jackson, do we need to play 2 rucks against Brisbane? I don’t think so. For me, he goes out for that reason, as he gives us nothing up forward.
SPC 3,596 Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 With no big Oscar next week, do we drop Jacko and play and actual key forward who has a [censored] clue to how to play the role. 3
DeeMee 924 Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Like I have said previously Salem never plays well in first couple of games after injury. Bowey has to at least be considered. ANB tries and tries but last night I found him very trying. He is too often indicative of our forward line - a rebound wall. Do not see TMac as a saviour and has no VFL game before next week. In the last ressies game Weid, JvR and M Brown much better. Think Harmes will be out so that saves Melksham. FD does not like change so one forced change will be it, probably Dunstan but would like to see Smith. Trac an unknown at this point. FD meeting will be like “we beat them a ftnight ago so who are we forced to change?”

And played no more than half a season since and 5 games in a year where we have been desperate for a tall forward. So I’d say the coaches have seen enough. 3

Who comes out? Also you have to deliver the ball better for a Mitch Brown 'In' to pay off IMV. Tracc, Viney, Lingers need to lower their vision more often to have any chance of our forwards kicking a winning score regardless of who's in. Lingers & Spargoat hit Fritta up last night with two nice short passes. More of this pls. The Gus experiment through the middle worked once and that was it. Agree he should be straight back to the wing. Dunstan or Bedford in for ANB? We lack speed and receive / break away ability around the contest IMHO and Dunstan doesn't really offer that. He is elite by hand though which might help distribute and can also kick the odd goal. Edited September 3, 2022 by Demon Dynasty 3

You aint making that ground up in one week IMV as he's coming from too far back after his interrupted pre-season and late arrival. 1
DeeZee 7,496 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Anyone have any idea in what day this game is likely to be played next weekend?

BDA 23,048 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 Unless we change structurally by bringing TMac in i'm not sure there's a lot of point making changes at this stage. Just swapping deck chairs The boys need to find and bring their best
Maldonboy38 6,435 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 We had enough of the ball to win the game so I can't see too many changes being necessary. Harmes. I was about 40 metres from the incident, and I reckon he will miss 2 weeks. Yes, Cripps got off but I he should not have. You can't do that. The noise of both the forearms to head and shoulder contact, and the thump as the body hit the ground was very, very loud. Very lucky for there not be a serious injury. ANB for fumbling, decision making errors, and getting in other players' way. Melksham for not executing a major part of his role. Absolute momentum killer. A 2nd tall forward option, not Gawn or Jackson. Having said that, I hope Dunstan, M Brown etc... don't get called up. For mine, they are not AFL players. Give Chandler, Bedford, Bowey, JVR a call up if necessary. 1
DemonLad5 1,642 Posted September 3, 2022 Posted September 3, 2022 My prediction is that they roll the dice with McDonald in: McDonald out: Melksham would love to get Bowey in but won't happen Harmes won't get rubbed out

The reason we have no one coming through to cover for injuries and poor form is that the Coach regularly says he will be " ok " or flatly refuses to change a problematic line up..experiment even ,when an opportunity arises. Mind you we'd want Trac if he was 95% good to go

A replacement for BBB would need to wait till summer. You can't replace him in an elimination final. Yeah post game frustration on my part 200cm 100 kg and competes like a rag doll ,albeit one who can kick straight. But the only alternative if TMac isn't ready is Weideman and that's just crazy 2

He was pressure and as much as they need extra big tall strong I'd almost play TMac for rag doll Brown and hope Fritta and Gawn can catch it. Max doesn't tap to our players anyway . Problem with TMac is I don't think he comes back from foot injuries with any sort of form to speak of. That's me jogging past you while you blame Melksham for bad coaching an game wide lousy decisions from the Captain down
