Thread: Changes for Round 10 v Brisbane

  1. #25
    I don't want to disrespect Brisbane, Carlton, or St Kilda but I feel that this period offers an opportunity to "manage" anyone carrying a niggle. Perhaps Josh Kennedy with his knee concern could be given a game off. Thoughts?

    No change. Melican, if fit, needs a week in the NEAFL. We have won a couple in a row and those in the team deserve reward for that, especially the young guys. They will probably be managed later in the season. Hopefully we can do a better job of playing Franklin and Ronke in the same team this week. I thought it worked well in the first quarter but Buddy demanded the ball a little too often after that. On the other hand, it's Buddy, so what do I know!
    Today's a draft of your epitaph

    Brisbane have been playing good footy. The Swans will need to be on their toes and have close to a full list to win.

    Brisbane are a pretty exciting team to watch. Being a Brisbanite I see many of their games live. They are let down by skills at times but they are playing attacking football. Although they have a tall forward line they aren't great marks so I think having a smallish back line is going to work in our favour. Hipwood is really quick for a tall player so the Rampe match up seems more likely than Grundy, Reg would go to the resting Ruckman.

    No changes (unless forced) for mine

    No changes I'd suspect. Rohan is on my chopping block though.

    Melican to earn his spot back through the NEAFL.

    Any word on where Dawson is at with his injury? Can we expect him back in the NEAFL this week or next?

    IIRC, last week Dawson and a number of others were listed as two weeks so assume that batch will all be one week later today when lists are updated.

    Think Pink might return this week :-)

    Reid was still 6-8 weeks so at best will get a month of footy before the finals.

Rohan�s output has been poor and its time for him to go back to Neafl - we can�t keep picking him for the odd flash of brilliance. So for my 10c worth:
    In: Cameron Towers
    Out: Rohan McCartain (McCartain stays if Buddy suspended)
    Spot on..

    I think they�ll have to reward Cameron soon for his NEAFL form. Whether that�s at the expense of McCartin I don�t know. Think they�ll also be very keen to get Melican back too... Brisbane were too tall for Hawthorn

    But no idea who�d go out

    Cameron and Melican/Alir in
    Need 2 rucks and a tall defender

    Melican for me is an Auto select when fit, more than proved that over the last 12 months

    Who goes out? I think McCartin would have to make way for Cameron and for Melican would they drop Gaz? Don�t see any obvious outs / passengers
