Changes for Prelim v geel (Friday Sept 20)

[AngryAnt]

Dimma hasn't made panic selection changes before a final since the bad old days of Griffins and Conca begin selected pre the North elimination final. He blinked then, just doesn't do it now.

Ellis won't be dropped. Short won't be dropped. you can put your house on it.

Would it be okay if I put your house on it?

 

[eZyT]

people have been doing this for weeks. Plucking names for the sake of plucking names. Pickett, Aarts, etc. We have a settled 22. There will be no change. If there is, it will only be based on a horses for courses policy. Ellis won't be dropped. Short won't be dropped. you can put your house on it.

Stack's only chance of playing in the Prelim is if someone gets injured at training. But even then that's unlikely given his own injury situation.

I mostly agree.

An 8 goal win on the road in a Q final = no change.

But Bellis was bad enough to add a tiny bit of intrigue.

Plus we have the VFL prelim this weekend.

someone (cough cough) could kick 5 goals off the wing, knock out Jordan Lisle and take the mark of the millennium.

actually just realised there's potentially 2 blokes could do that. They could both do it, provided Lisle passes a concussion test.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Ellis was really poor but he's done that before, copped a whack on the bum and then lifted. Expect him to survive if only because Stack and Pickett don't have the miles in the legs, KMac hasn't been burning up the VFL and Menadue has never stepped up to H&A level, let alone late September levels.

 

[BrisTiger24]

If Pickett has a 4 qtr game like his last qtr against the bombers then he comes in for bellis

Now this would be good to see

Other than injury, I'd say the only possible changes from here are KMac for Ellis and Stack for Short, with Pickett the wildcard for either spot.

I think people have to give up on Short getting dropped. He came straight in after a long lay off and there has never really been a hint of him gonig out. i would be stunned if they dropped him now.

If Stack comes in, who goes out?

 

[jb03]

I would drop Ellis but i actually think they won't bring Stack in (or make any changes)

 

[Fighting Fury]

so with our opponent being geel...do we need Nando or someone more mobile to cover stanley and biclavs?

 

[eddazol]

No change this week

 

[CarnTheTiges]

I’m saying no change unless forced.

 

[lamb22]

I reckon we don't need Soldo.

 

[lamb22]

Should be an interesting game this arvo. Ross, Pickett, Balta, Chol and even Butler CCJ and Menadue will be playing to try and force their way in if a spot opens up.

 

[TheCan]

playing the cats...

soldo out
best available runner .... picket or macca
would love stack but No risk policy that ankle won’t be rwady

 

[tigersnake]

I think people have to give up on Short getting dropped. He came straight in after a long lay off and there has never really been a hint of him gonig out. i would be stunned if they dropped him now.

plus he is improving each game, trajectory has been up for a month.

 

[seven]

If chol plays a blinder he might come in for Soldo

long way out, but looks like a weak cold front passing the mcg just before the game next friday night

so most likely some wind and rain

With Chris Scott there will certainly be p1ss and wind.

No Hawkins could mean Geelong play a smaller forward line, and it might be wet.

In: Stack
Out: Soldo

Soldo is our advantage in the middle, needs to stay in.
