JJs problem is with the addition of Hunter, JJ can no longer fill in on a wing, which means when he's not playing midfield, he's basically on the bench, because he's not great at half forward. Last word on this AF. I have done a bit more digging into the stats. I know that they can really tell you whatever you want them to but in the last 4 games we have laid 57 tackles in our forward 50. Of those 57 Chandler has laid 5 and Spargo 3. For reference, in the same 4 games JVR laid 6 tackles, ANB 8 and Fristch 4. 2

For reference, in the same 4 games JVR laid 6 tackles, ANB 8 and Fristch 4. Chandler's actually laid 8 in the last 4 games. But he had zero in the Carlton game. Since then, he's stepped up and he's also had 4 shots on goal for 4 behinds. He needs to improve his accuracy, but if he kicks straight the last two games, we're talking about him very differently. It's a game of margins and I'd prefer to back the work rate of Chandler, which is also helping our forward half IMO. 1
dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 After last week's effort I think we beat the giants and beat them comfortably. It's the following week that I'm more concerned about. 1
Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Key to this game is stopping GWS clearance game. If we can nullify this, we win this comfortably (assuming we kick somewhat accurately)
whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 glad daniels is out - he is brilliant defensively in combination with bedford, and offensively in combo with toby greene grossly underrated small forward 1

Yep. you are right.... 8 tackles inside 50 in the last four and a total of 17 tackles in the same period. I like Chandler and think he has done well this season but I see him as out of form and I would prefer to see him gain form at Casey.

I would replace ANB with Harmes. Harmes can play a role, is a strong mark and is a good kick for goal. BBB is no longer able to play at AFL level especially at crunch time of the season. I see Chandler as an important link, he is just not kicking to goal as he should although he has shown that he can be accurate early in the season. This could be proven correct. However, prior to going out he was (and still is) our highest goal kicker on averages and has yet to be given another block of games to prove whether he still has it in him or not. After being in the top two or three at Casey on Friday and playing out the entire game at a VG level, if he doesn't get picked this week then we may have seen the last of him at the highest level. 3

Keeping in mind, the modern game is a slingshot affair that requires blokes that can bring lots of pressure and get the job down at ground level.

Either Laurie or Jordon as I believe that we have to few rotations for the midfield. This is the team I would put out against GWS. B: Bowey May Lever HB: Salem Petty/Tomlinson McVee C: Langdon Viney Hunter HF: ANB Petty/Brown Pickett F: Fritsch Van Rooyen Grundy R: Gawn Petracca Sparrow Int: Rivers Laurie Jordon Brayshaw Sub: Melksham 1

Despite his numbers I thought he was lazy and not what I would like to see in the firsts. For what it's worth I also thought Spargo looked frustrated and out of touch. Needs some time to regain composure. 1
fr_ap 2,566 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 I actually like Joel Smith for the sub. Can do a job forward or back, and in either scenario we have the flankers that can move into midfield if it's a midfielder getting subbed out. 9
DubDee 26,674 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Neal Bullen has always fumbled even in 2021. but he plays his role chance of being dropped? Zero 4
Deefender 254 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Unseasonably cold this Sunday in Alice Springs with temperatures ranging from a 1 degree minimum to a max of 11 degrees with some chance of rain.
Ungarieboy 457 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 You don't risk playing your good players into being out of form. That's what we are doing with Petty forward for marginal gains. Set Petty to play CHB and forget. Like May at FB. McVee May. Lever Salem. Petty. Bowey Langford Viney. Hunter ANB. JVR. Picket Fritsch. BBB. Chandler Gawn Trac Harmes Brayshaw. Rivers Sparrow Grundy Melksam/Smith Midfield rotations is the key, with Trac, Viney to play forward as part of this. Rivers play midfield. Harmes is defensive mid. Though If Dunstan is fit he plays instead of McVee and Rivers then goes to Greene

Clarrie (if fit), BBB, Bowser, Melksham Outs..Chandler, Spargo, Hibbo, JVR ( managed) Possibly Thommo in as well, Nibbler extremely lucky if he stays in Re Spargo. It is only an out in cases where you were in. He was out against Geelong so, if he is out against GWS , he is not an out. However, if selected he will be an in. I trust that clears that up. 1

croydick 142 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 i want some serious lineup experiments this week... gws off their bye so it may be our last chance to experiment until norf. hoping for jordon/spargs/hibberd/jvr/chandler out for reasons below and BBB/bowey/tomo/melksham/woewodin in jordon/spargs omitted, hibberd injured, jvr/chandler need rests, BBB in for jvr, petty up forward for chandler, bowey in for hibberd, tomo where petty was, woewodin for jordon and melksham sub big changes but i think we need them
