Rnd 19 Pre-Match Thread, vs Brisbane at the GABBA 1:10 PM Sunday 21 July 2024

[Captain]

Heeney and Cunningham for J Mac and Lloyd would be my changes.

Amartey is Top 10 in league goalkicking in a team that has 6 guys in Top 40, which says he is kicking goals at a clip higher than the others as he isnt the only avenue.

I called for him to get dropped more than most all year based on poor form but we are past the point of no return for him now, he only comes out if he is injured

[SwanSand]

Harry too important.
Amartey will have to be at his best. He is getting shots at goal so most likely won’t go out, but it’s a line ball. He needs to do more.
McLean is doing enough in the ruck. And probably is less variable in his output compared to Amartey.
Roberts vs Campbell - not an easy decision so will be left till the end.
Fox - coaches favourite and has the most versatility so probably not going out.
Wicks - on the outer with Parker’s smarts on display in the last game.

We’ve discussed this a bit earlier in the year.

Some very good players or ones or at least decent players who have helped us make the finals, are going to miss out on a medal if we win the premiership.

Currently not in the side (and assuming McInerney recovers and gets his spot back):

- Heeney
- Cunningham
- Wicks
- Reid
- Francis
- Ladhams

For our finals campaign, you have to assume Cunningham comes in along with Heeney, which means two of Roberts, Campbell, Fox or Taylor come out.

Possibly Jordon or Lloyd are at risk of being pushed out too. Amartey could be pushed out by Reid too.

Jordan and Amartey aren't coming out.
Reid and Ladhams will only come in for an injury.

I'd say Roberts and Fox will be the 2 closest to the edge, id play Fox in front of Harry no problem but sounds like Horse has him in the 22
