Changes V Lions

[jb03]

Agree with the last two points, but he did chase.

I think because he fumbled it to his opponent so then had to chase them.

How long has Houli been in quarantine? (eg - do we expect him back against Port?)

Stack was our worst by far but survises. Didn't chase, always lagged behind. 1 contested possession and a paltry 89 meters gained but survises the cut.
Compare to Marcov, 240+ meters gained, and 6 contested. Did his job but is omitted.

He replaced Tigga, unfortunately he doesn't keep Tigga out.

He is stiff to be out though.

Matt White was the expert at this.

True Floss goes back in, but Markov can play anywhere, and i agree with you he was very stiff to be cut. I would've liked to see him play the forward role similar to Stephenson.
Anyway, I really hope he goes full throttle cause the lions play that way...

Also tipping Neale to get 35+ touches and Richmond to win by 5+ goals

Easiest changes of the year to pick... was always going to be the case. Very happy with the team.

Hardwick has stated that he wants Stack in the side so he's giving him every opportunity to work his way into form. A bit unfair on Markov but if any players are rested for the port game he will be one of the first named to come in.

The skipper will miss the Kochies game most likely and depending on how the boys pull up there might be another odd one out fora rest if needed.

The Tige v Bears will be a tough game and theyve had less rest.

I certainly hope so, Oleg Marcos has never been given a decent chance.

Tough , Markov being dropped but he will fire up and be fresh for the Port game

Dimma like the rest of us is banking on Stackie to switch up the gears and get back into boss mode.

Hes undoubtedly best 22 in boss mode.

Grimes has Georgiades pencilled in for Saturday.

I wonder if the lad knows whats coming

Lions have gone really tall. Have they gone that way, as they are backing in a kicking game like West Coast do. Personally I don't think the Lions group have anywhere near as good a bunch of kicks as at West Coast. Very inexperienced too. The number of games stated below includes tomorrow night.

Reckon they are backing their 3 tall backs to mark the ball in front of Tom and Jack similar to what the Giants did. A lot of confidence in a first gamer.

Defensive half
Andrews 201cm - 107 games
Gardiner 193cm - 116 games
Payne 197cm - 1 game

Forward half / ruck
Hipwood 204cm - 85 games
McInerney 205cm - 47 games
Skinner 198cm - 3 games
Ballendon 200cm - 2 games

 

[artball]

i don't buy this 'giving a guy a game to work his way into form'.
you'd be playing guys who are showing form. wouldn't you? For me that's Markov over Stack.
that said, i hope Sidney has a good one.

Jack kicked 3 in the Q/F

Tommy kicked 2

And some bloke called Martin kicked 6

Markov was ok, didn't excel. Stack was average but we all know he has great upside and clearly that's the reason he kept his spot as he builds his confidence and form. Personally would have loved to see Markov given a go on the wing in place of Kmac. Reckon he could excel there given a chance. Saying that we're talking about our depth players, at full strength they don't get a game. At 24yo Markov has been given plenty of chances to prove himself at VFL level conceding he hasn't had a lot of opportunities at AFL level due to our strong team. Is pushing an uphill battle from here with the youngsters coming through.
