Anzac Eve - Changes vs Melbourne

[Merveille]

Banks in for Short i reckon, so he plays half back.
Its Grimes thats the extra back, so we look too tall. But who goes out?

One may play forward where we are small?

Young should have ILHO.

‘Maybe they are going to swing Miller or someone else forward.’

We are so small up forward - our keys are a bloke in his 4th game and a beaten up old second ruckman!

Unless the game plan is swarm forward pressure to minimise their rebound, but without another target I think we are doomed particularly late on the game

We are also too tall and slow down back. Suspect your right and someone (probably Miller) will play forward.

 

[Redford]

someone (probably Miller) will play forward.

That's not gonna work.

 

[Leysy Days]

That's not gonna work.

Agree. He's just settling into a role and playing OK. He looks pretty fragile confidence wise at the best of times. But We look lop sided forward v back size wise, especially considering the opponent so thinking something like that might occur.

It's going to be wet and windy.
Alot of ground balls, let's see who wins the hard balls

Is this a trick question, zipp idy do da?

We got one of them.

No.7

 

[Redford]

Where’s the game day thread ?

 

[Harry]

No role for Grimes in the backline imo. Maybe to play fwd.

 

[seven]

Our best chance is that it buckets down and slows the game completely.

Hope not. The big body midfielders can take over.
Dow won’t touch the ball

Strange team, we usually play 7 defenders and 2/3 wings.

We have 7 defenders already (Young, Broad, Miller, Grimes, Vlastuin, Brown and Rioli) and 3 wings (Kmac, Pickett and Hugo) so where is Banks going to play, unless we are moving 1 of the others. I don't mind moving a wing, maybe 1 of the 4 stated as wings will be the sub (I'd assume Banks if thats the case as I don't think they'd play Kmac as the sub).

We’ll send Pickett to FF we all know how that move turns out

 

[btoz_01]

Mill

We are also too tall and slow down back. Suspect you’re right and someone (probably Miller) will play forward.

Miller has found his spot as a backman should play on Petty

Ha ha - no its not......................

McAuliffe emergency, stuck in no mans land between the magoos and seniors game.

Yep, don't like that he's emergency and no VFL game. It means since his last VFL game on 31st March and next game he will play on 5th May he will only have played 1 full game of footy (69%). Just not sure how 1 game in over a month helps his progress.

Harley Reid being managed this week.
Young mids can't produce week in week out.

Eagles just realised their wins have them out of top 3 draft pick on the ladder so are taking immediate action to get the tank back on..

has this been confirmed?

 

[Tigaman]

KMac sub ?. Stevic & Fisher drawn the short straw there.

 

[Rod]

Has Grimes ever played Forward?

 

[Rantnrave]

Do we have a single tall foward today ?

 

[Merveille]

Has Grimes ever played Forward?

Yeah when they accused him if diving in ore-season game. Wouldn’t be an easy match up
