Changes V Carlton
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
Silvagni will destroy Soldo as the second ruck. Will give them an extra midfielder and when Silvagni drifts forward Soldo will have no idea how to defend.
Did anyone else see Soldo standing near the boundary line while Nank did Rick duties in the forward pocket? What a discrace. Nank shoul have been a kick behind the play and Soldo rucking.
Soldi is either the number 1 Rick or nothing. He ain’t a back up ruck. Not enough mobility. It worked a two or three years ago but rules have chaged that. Can’t afford to have a witches hat in the forward pocket as ball comes out too quickly.
Are any other teams playing with two genuine rucks? Marshall is very mobile and not your standard big ruckman.
Yep, can’t believe the hate for Tarrant. I can’t see what he has done wrong.
Some other poster saying drop Tarrant and move Soldo to defence (in place of Tarrant). WTF?
Tarrant was good this week especially 2nd half. His form has been up and down though and I think it is more a confidence thing than anything else. I'm a Miller beliver but the next 2 games we have to go with Tarrant against McKay and Shitkans. If we beat Carlton and Geelong and he does ok he will be fine. If not I'm all for Miller time and a decent run at it
So in Summary:
Keep in mind, with Lynch recovering, We have no-one on the Injury List. That won't last. Hopefully no HS protocols this week.
Lambert in for Edwards who will sub. With 10 games to go Edwards needs 7 to make 300. The MC will give him those 7 games out of Respect, pure and simple.
Ralphsmith stays in. He made 2 howlers in the last quarter but was otherwise good. Dropping him would set his confidence back.
Lynch comes in for Clarke, Soldo or Tarrant
Why would you keep any of them?
Clarke stays in because you don't drop a kid after 1 game.
Soldo stays in, to give an advantage over a ruck-depleted Carlton
Tarrant stays in, which allows Balta, Baker, Gibcus or Rioli to drift forward.
Tough choice at MC.
Definitely out
MRJ - Bolton has his job
Miller - give it a couple of weeks, we have an overflow of defenders
Definitely Definitely out
Castagna - Bolton has his job. Take a number behind MRJ

100%. Miller has improved with confidence since he had a few games in a row. He will only get better with his physical presence which the coach has highlighted as an area for improvement. I would back Miller in from now and use Tarrant as back up. However, I suspect the idea of recruiting him was to give home a senior game if fit. If this is correct, I hope the attitude changes next year. Balta, Grimes, Miller, Gibcus, Vlaustin and Broad is a quick backline and can play on tall and smalls. It's an A grade backline.
Going by the great man’s training reports I am thinking this is how we will line up
B: Grimes Tarrant Broad
HB: Rioli Gibcus Vlastuin
C: Macintosh Short Pickett
HF: Baker Lynch Lambert
FF: Martin Riewoldt Bolton
FOLL: Nankervis Cotchin Prestia
Int: Balta Graham Ralphsmith Clarke
In: Lynch Lambert
Out: Soldo Edwards
B: Grimes Tarrant Broad
HB: Rioli Gibcus Vlastuin
C: Macintosh Short Pickett
HF: Baker Lynch Lambert
FF: Martin Riewoldt Bolton

Int: Balta Graham Ralphsmith Clarke
In: Lynch Lambert
Out: Soldo Edwards
That's an impressive line up. Our forward line looks so much better with Baker and Lambert as the high half fwds
We lose against Carlton we will be a game out of the eight and fundamentally furniculated........
And we beat Carlton and we are back in it for a top 4 spot.We lose against Carlton we will be a game out of the eight and fundamentally furniculated........
These 2 weeks will tell the story for the RFC.
Win both we will possibly challenge for a top 4 spot.
Lose 1 win 1 we are in the mix but none the wiser.
Lose both we might be only to finish 7th or 8th on the ladder at best.
Tigers must get over the Blues pure and simple
If we lose both games, I reckon our season is officially cactus.
Yep. Biggest 2 games of the season. 7-7 might still be OK for 8th spot but if we can't beat the Blooze and Pussies, we're no good.
I'm happy with that 22, but I reckon Baker stays back, and Ralphsmith up the ground
Yeah don’t think the my line up exactly like that but that’s the 22 who I think play.
If Martin goes out then Ross will come in.
