DeeMee 924 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Wait on Schache re concussion But no n the meantime would like JVR for TMac (he has to play at some point) JJ or Hib for Harmes given their dangerous smalls Note - Won’t happen May in - someone out Edited March 25, 2023 by DeeMee 1
Maldonboy38 6,435 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) 2 main considerations: We are playing Sydney. What happened at Casey today SYDNEY Their midsized and small players are looking very strong. So we have to counter that while still attacking from half back. They are playing with post-grand final anger and intensity. We are at the MCG, where they beat us. CASEY Schache possibly concussed Many borderline AFL/VFL players played well OUT: Gawn, Petty (inj), Harmes IN: May, JVR, Jordon/Hibberd Edited March 25, 2023 by Maldonboy38 3
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 I would very much consider Hibberd to take on Papley. 13
Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Is Petty confirmed ? He just had a hyper extended knee and hopefully with some ice and rest, should come up fine with the 8 day break. Even so, Daniher kicked 5 on him so maybe give him a spell with May coming in. I’d look at bringing Hibbo in to lock down Papley and have Rivers take Hayward. Otherwise we match up well elsewhere. I’d look at giving the ball to Hibbo, Bowey coming out of HB. Brayshaw should go back to defensive wing - he’s a liability atm. Maybe we can get Hunter to play a deeper wing role to help with a quicker transition. Because when we do it we are seriously unstoppable. Edited March 27, 2023 by Grapeviney Language 1

Being the amount and quality of ball that went in the Lions forwardline I would possibly argue McVee won the match up or halved it. Every one sees things differently I suppose, I thought McVee was not accountable, therefore poor, I thought it was Cameron who roamed where he wanted and he was creative. Just the way I saw it. 2

Just the way I saw it. I thought McVee was OK but he's not getting a lot of the ball. Hibbo 36 disposals hard to leave him out. Goody doesn't like making a lot of changes. May comes in I think they will show faith in Petty unless he's injured, Tommo the unlucky one out. Gawn has to be replaced cosidering Schache never played in the ruck in the VFL and van Rooyen did I'd back van Rooyen. Harmes poor form should see him in the 2's Hibberd in Brayshaw in the middle. Laurie sub 1

Smith, JJ JVR for Gawn, May back if fit and JJ in seem the most likely. But I’d consider up to 5. Smith for Tommy is very unlikely but if Tommy is purely a lead up target he’s not offering enough mobility to justify that spot. My guess is they’ll back him in to start holding some marks. 1 1

Schache is out due to concussion. Before he was injured he was a definite In for next week. Now it’s down to Smith or JVR. This is according to JVR who told one of our DA members after the match today.

I don’t know if JVR said it as though it’s a fact or if it’s just him speculating. Apparently he thinks he’s ready. Confidence shouldn’t be an issue if that’s the case.

layzie 34,528 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 Well for what it's worth I'm ready for JVR. I think that's a little more important that what he thinks. 1 3
640MD 3,568 Posted March 25, 2023 Posted March 25, 2023 It’s clear, if you look at my tips, I know absolutely nothing about football. thought I did but I do better taking the opposite, but I have followed the Dees for more than 67 years. Is that an excuse or just a reason. Eff it I hope we beat Sydney

Our 6 games after the Swans game are what i’d consider to be guaranteed wins, if we beat Sydney and and sit 8 & 1 that would be our season well and truly back on track. 7 & 2 at face value sounds great but when broken down, every time we were challenged we lost means it’s fools gold. Something I said at the start of the season about the Lions also applies to us, we should only really be judged against Cats, Swans, Pies & Lions (maybe Carlton).
