Changes v Crows

[eZyT]

Noah's a Commodore VIC 20 in footy IQ terms, and only has the ROM to be programmed one way. Let him settle into one position and develop into a solid key back.

Again, i tend to agree,

But under my scenario, you wouldnt tell him hes a nuclear sub.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Won’t be a dud when he’s our next signing

Who? Long hair or Himmelberg?

 

[Smoking Aces]

Well Mansell aint losing his spot anytime soon.

Listening to Dimmas presser I see no change happening this week.

 

[FitenFitenWin]

How do we best utilise the sub rule?

Heres some options

1. Play the most versatile player available , someone who can cover all positions, including ruck - sampson ryan, noah balta, ben miller

Plus - this is a % play, there are no catastrophes
Minus - your not gaining much, its match saving rather than match winning; potentially stymie development of youth

2. Play a 2nd ruckman - soldo

plus - the most devastating first quarter loss is covered; can also tactically release a fresh ruckman in 4th quarters
Minus - few other positional losses are covered; no injection of speed

3. Develop a specialist sub - the old champs (trent cotchin, JR)

Plus - cotchy can be deployed on all lines; inspirational quarters or halves from the champ, prolong his career; you could count on JR to kick a team lifting goal; fresher in september

Minus - cant cover talls; disrespectful to the champs; all-time greats playing 25% game time, hard to manage GT

4. Run a fresh mid/tagger - jack graham

plus - if someone needs stopping, deploy the stopper; if noone needs stopping, fresh legged mid for final quarter. Versatile coverage of smalls on all lines

Minus - doesnt cover talls

5. 3rd wingman - Hugo, JG, Clarke (kmac, marlion)

plus - wing is a VIP in modern footy. A fresh, proper, wingman would inject run and impact; marlion and kmac are very versatile and are deployed elsewhere

Minus - dont cover talls

6. Dynamism/speed/impact injection (MRJ, Hugo, Clark)

Plus - hope for a goal or two from a tactical fatigue sub
Minus - inflexible, development stymie

7. Your 23rd best player (on form)

Plus - KISS
Minus - less flexibility, development stymie

8. Go nuclear - Dusty

This is pure fantasy. GF against Geelong. Tigers a goal down at 3/4 time, camera goes to dustys shark-eyes then switches to Scotts resigned terror.

Its a tough one. Get it right and make it part of your game plan, and its potentially a huge advantage in September. Which way do you go? Try save games, or try win games? Horses for courses?

I probably lean toward a combo of 3 and 5 and 6. A specialist sub on a roster - the veteran impact champs - JR, Cotchy, with a young dynamo in week 3. They know and understand the role, and you hope to have control over the sub most weeks. Marlion is probably our most versatile player we have in that he can play ruck or rover. If we play a wingman (cotchy or Jr can do this), marlion covers other losses.

In summary - cotchy, JR, Hugo, MRJ, Clarke all play sub 4-5 times this season. In an ideal world, Marlion is deployed to cover a mid or back position, and the sub goes to his wing. If the sub is unused at 20min mark 3rd quarter, theyre deployed tactically

Hmmmm...I'd forget about any idea that the selection of the sub should be there to cover injuries for starters (not that you're really suggesting that). Wasting time trying to predict the unpredictable. So an extension of that thought is that the sub doesn't need to be super flexible in the job. Because they're not having to cover all scenarios.

I think that the sub should be specifically targeted at the opposition's greatest weakness and when they're employed they go nuclear attacking that weakness.

 

[FitenFitenWin]

I'll give you an example. What's Carlton's greatest weakness?

That's right - they're ugly.

If we had chosen Clarke (who is pretty) instead of Ross (who with that perm and mousy mo - well, isn't) we would have got exponentially better looking right when we needed it.

QED.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

I'll give you an example. What's Carlton's greatest weakness?

Brown paper bags. We don't have any though: we're good looking.

 

[eZyT]

I'll give you an example. What's Carlton's greatest weakness?

The tepid water in their veins,

We should have employed an iceman sub - a kane lambert clone.

Instead, jack ross, who nearly missed his shoe on his match winning set shot.

Youre right - we played right into their hands

 

[btoz_01]

Who? Long hair or Himmelberg?

Best thing I heard last Thursday night was when Jack Ross missed that set shot in the last, someone shouted out "Cut your hair Jack".

He's a reverse Samson

 

[Tigers of Old]

Listening to Dimmas presser I see no change happening this week.

I remember he did the same thing with Steve Morris. Will be in the team until about wk 6.

He did say "He'll be a player who'll put his hand up to play again this week." Thats not a lock.

 

[King Kong]

Walker got a hold of us last year. Must stop it happening this weekend.

Yeah but he had a lot of help from 3 maggots on the field also. If we get an even run with the umps we'll win

 

[Redford]

Heh heh heh. “Even run with the umps.” Heh heh heh….one of your best Kongkers.
