Im tipping Shackey Attackey to be a late in

Tipping or hoping?

[Demonland 73,136]

If for some reason Max isn’t deemed ready then Schache will be the one that plays. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Max, Lever, May & Clarry all look pretty on for mine.  Clarry maybe a tad meh but shld be fine

[Demonland 73,136]

[Demonland 73,136]

Two targets in one of these drills are Petty & Fritsch so yeah Petty is forward. 

[Demonland 73,136]

Schache being used as the leading forward down the guts or leading towards goal for the overlap. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Using Schache a fair bit as forward target so likely Sub??

Can you get close enough to check his temperature?

Take it the old fashioned way.

[Demonland 73,136]

A lot of the drills involve having a high ball kicked and the player just bringing the ball to ground intentionally and the players mopping up.

Personally I ain't going to ask him to bend over for that.

It's looking to me like he could feature somehow.

Interestingly Spargo is training with the main group. 

Maybe they are allowed to do non-contact training after a week of rest.

At this late point before gameday, all is a little intriguing. Shacka, Gawn, Oliver, Petty, et. al. Specific yet rather new forward drills, as if a revised attack plan could evolve. 

[dazzledavey36 55,315]

Could Schache be the sub??

I know it's not normal to have a 200cm tall forward as sub but it is interesting that he's being used a fair bit in the drills?

I'm guessing Laurie is the same but?

[Demonland 73,136]

Most players having shots for goal. 

May and Lever doing defensive drills with Chaplin. 

[Demonland 73,136]

Viney doing separate agility drills with one of the coaches. 

[Demonland 73,136]

That’s a wrap. 

[Demonland 73,136]

Jeff White is here with Kalani who is now taller than Jeff. 

[BC_1718_DC 1,360]

Was Petty with the forwards for the whole thing?

Half a had shorter than Max. 

Jeff took a photo of Max and his son so I’m sure we’ll see it on social media.

Is this to appease the “just kick it long” element in the grandstands? 🙄

Salo on track for 3 weeks (all going well)

Yuck! Petty is not a forward. In certain matches where the game needs a change I don’t mind him swinging down there to try something different but starting him there is not the way to go in my opinion. He’s a starting centre half back and that’s that. I’ll die on this hill😂

 

To add to this, I thought in the second half last week Petty really grew into the game and gained some confidence back with his intercept marking and reading of the play. So swinging him forward and disrupting that momentum that he looked to gain again seems very unnecessary.
