Changes vs Geelong

[bricci]

Outs: Clark, Balta
Ins: Stack, Martin

Assuming Tarrant plays - if not Miller for Tarrant

I really like the Stack, MRJ combo up forward - suits out bombing style - thought as a combo they were ok in the only game they played.
This does leave us a little too reliant on Nank in the ruck mostly because we dont have an obvious 2nd ruck option with Balta out. Will have to do this by Committee or play Soldo - I still prefer the former.

 

[tigerlove]

big question is who is going to play on Gary Rohan?

I'll give it a go

 

[zgod]

Apparently the cats are doubling down on a heavy training load so they can peak in September!!
Sounds like excuses are being wheeled out already.

 

[btoz_01]

I'll give it a go

Whens the last time you played footy?
would you qualify as a Cat V rookie?

 

[Rantnrave]

Stack and MJ ...soldo was v good today...or miller if tarrant is gond

Out clark..edwards moved to sub and balta

 

[22nd Man]

Yeah, 4:35 on a Sat is a weird time. Nevertheless I'll be there, helps that the MCG is a 10 minute walk from my place.

The sacrifices our fans make bring a tear to me eye. (Think I mangled every singular / plural option)

 

[snags]

I've been banging on about the stack mj combo. I reckon those two have real connection and compliment each other well. Can't be having 76 i50s and so few shots at goal. Then again it's about time for cumbers to get a bite. Wish they could broadcast the MC to members it will be a thrilling discussion and that's not even considering the ruck situation.

 

[MalenyTiger]

Out: Balta; Clarke
In: Dusty, Soldo
If Tarrant is injured then Miller comes in.
Possibly Edwards as sub and MRJ to get a full game.

Maybe as a Cat L rookie (for 50yo+)

 

[btoz_01]

Maybe as a Cat L rookie (for 50yo+)

youre in you’ve got less than 6 days to prepare
good luck

 

[Harry]

Need to put some immense pressure on the cats backline - MJ comes in.

Question is do we go with 1 or 2 rucks?

If 2 rucks then

In Soldo Dusty MJ
Out Balta Edwards Clarke

 

[DjJazzyPete]

Out: Balta, Tarrant, Edwards -agree with Edwards to be Sub .. how many more games till his 300 ?
In: Miller, Dusty , MRJ

 

[Mr T.]

Out: Balta, Tarrant, Edwards -agree with Edwards to be Sub .. how many more games till his 300 ?
In: Miller, Dusty , MRJ

I think Shane needs another 6 games.

 

[momentai]

Out: Balta, Tarrant, Edwards -agree with Edwards to be Sub .. how many more games till his 300 ?
In: Miller, Dusty , MRJ

After the Coburg game just about agree.
But I’d have Stacky in just pipping MRJ.
If it’s wet like last Thursday wet, I’d have MRJ just pipping Gibcus.
No easy job for the MC this week.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

In Junior Martin Miller Stack
Out Balta Edwards Clarke

 

[Birdman19]

Which end is the cheer squad sitting at for this match?

 

[Tiger Pops]

Dry day predicted, need to wait to see if Tarrant is officially rules out, you would think so ? Watched most of the VFL on 7MATE yesterday and Miller, Stack, Ross, Soldo (and not far way Ryan) MRJ and Cumberland looked good. Castagna ran all day, did ok, will get back into the seniors when he can find a little more ball. I would hope with Martin back, and you throw in a Rioli and / or Castagna, we sore more goals last Thursday from the ~70+ inside 50s.

I also thought the VFL listed player Tylar Young (#75) looked composed as a tall backman as well, Good size, 196cm 92kg, mature mody at 23yo, former soccer player. Worth a rookie spot in 2023?

[Tigers of Old]

Out: Balta(inj), Tarrant (inj), Edwards
In: Soldo, Miller, Martin

 

[tha8ball]

Miller is in career best form in the VFL. He has put together a month of very good football and not just against weaker opposition. Think he needs to be rewarded. Rioli Jr must start to pressure their half backers. Stack might also be an option to assist here. Dusty back. Who goes out though…Balta.. maybe Tarrant.. Edwards as a sub?.. Ralphsmith?….maybe Clarke gets a rest.

 

[bugsy]

Geelong will be waiting on our likely team selections. If Dusty is included don’t be surprised if Rodney Plonkerfield is held back for another week. They won’t want to risk his confidence being shattered again.
