Changes for the grand final rematch v GWS
- Thread starter year of the tiger
- Start date
Richo has elite endurance. Something Balta lacks. He was also unbelievable at reading the play and a big enough attacking threat to not have to worry about the offensive impact of his opponent. Balta has looked best when the ball comes to him and while I think he will become a very good player I can’t see it being as a wing

if that isn’t a gold post I dunno what is.... I’m still chuckling 10 min after first reading
I think with the compressed games coming up that we will start to see players being managed through the process.
I would only play Astbury if I was really confident he was right to go. It hard not knowing what the schedule is for the next month or so.
i could see Lynch or Jack being rested at some stage.

Riewoldt has been out of form for a very long time. He no longer gets separation, which has been the key to his success. He still has all the leading tricks but while his brain is still telling him what to do his legs can’t do it.
He is the Captain however and has been a wonderful player. I said I think he should go, not that I believe he will.
Rioli should go back ... the selectors would actually be doing him a favour.
that just another difference in Covid footy,
theres nowhere to go back to.
its a different game.
We still struggle with blokes that can take a mark in a pack.
Walker was like Carey.
And he still dropped 3 sitters.
We won't be that lucky against GWS.
Himmerberg, Cameron & Finlayson are capable of taking marks.
We need to ge strong in defence on Fridey night.

Exactly the way Geelong got GC at home, when the others were scrabbling to get out of the state.
The game should in Queensland
We have did alright against them previously with Dave coming in most likely will be going a extra tall compared to the GF with Balta.Will back our system.
Harsh!! Riley has been on the list for only 1 year of VFL development football, this year unfortunately is a write off for these guys trying to push their case.
Don't give me that Eggs, Chol, Aarts etc have gone past him :
Eggs, (22yo), drafted 2017, Chol, (23), drafted 2015 and Aarts is a 25 year old.
Riley, (20yo), drafted 2018.
Just because a couple of those boys came through academy's doesn't mean they deserve 4 or 5 years to develop and yet you are only giving Riley one
Dimma did say in his last press conference he would love to get the likes of Riley in the side, my guess is they are waiting for Riley to tick one more box and that is getting from contest to contest and more 2 way running, (having no VFL is a huge impediment to improving and monitoring this area).
This is hardly a surprising area of required improvement as it was Riley's biggest weakness coming out of the draft combine where he was bottom 20% in 2km time trial. This will take several pre-seasons to build to required levels although he would be getting games with lesser clubs.
Once this contract freeze is over Riley would be the 1st player I would sign up, will be a inside bull that can spread in time IMO.

No need to state the obvious there Easy.
But there are now 35 players in the hub with some in recovery and the other 5 or 6 struggling hard to get into the team.
That is in fact an excellent dynamic to help Daniel refocus on his footy and what he needs to get back to form.
The selectors would be doing him a favour.

Saints apparently flying to Adelaide this arvo, for tonight's game, and back to QLD tomorrow morning.
If we bring DTLD in for Caddy we are going to get even quicker.
Maybe Dave can play wing. Give him a haircut and a leg tatt and it will be hard to tell the difference.
