Changes vs GWS
- Thread starter Feeling Tigerish
- Start date
Huge tactical conundrum facing the match committee this week. Retaining Chol and bringing Jack back will have potentially huge (and exciting) consequences.
GWS is suspect against fast movement. I reckon Dimma has us well prepped for this after last week.
Nick Davis is a good general but their defence can well and truly be exploited on turnover.
Exhibit A is the job Essendon did on them. We all know Essendon is an insipid unit with only one trick. GWS didn’t have the fortitude to run defensively against the Dons and they will be *smile* sliced by us on the G. *smile* sliced mate!
Unless the giants turn up with a finals, season on the line type mindset, they will be beaten and beaten soundly.
No need to bring Cads back in. I reckon Jack will come back in for Dan R.
IN: Jack
OUT: Rioli
I love the bloke, but you just can’t carry his poor form in what has clearly become a meritocracy down at Punt Rd. How would Bakes feel if Dan got a free hit week after week? How would Des feel if he was dropped after doing everything asked of him? Playing favourites is a morale killer.
We need Dan to find his mojo before September.
We also need to answer the question of what we look like with one extra tall in the mix. Will it curtail our run and ability to force F50 turnovers?
With Stack and Bolton providing laser delivery, I have a feeling we may not need the extra small coverage.
Not when Lynch and Jack are being hit lace out.
Like we’ve discussed on the tactics thread, we might actually be evolving into a team that doesn’t need dirty chaos ball.
That means Chol playing as swingman, moonlighting as third tall.
What third defender could stop him? Can’t think of anyone at the Giants.
Exciting times.

Too slow in the forward line. It’s going to be wet and windy. Caddy lynch and jack won’t work.
Caddy stays out.
Realistically jack should stay out too if it’s pissing down.
Reckon Riewoldt & Caddy will come in. Who goes out is trickier. The most likely are DES & Rioli but we can't be too slow.
Personally DES stays in for mine. Short the unlucky one.

This is what I love about our current list. There is no easy to pick 22. We have waited so so long to be in this position where there are so many pushing for selection.
I hate these new rules but I love the way this club is thriving off-field and on

There is no form when you play a team like GCS were last week.
We normally pick the team per gameplan to counter a particular opposition that week.
Do we formulate a finals masterplan and stick to that regardless of opposition OR do we go the week to week?

Not against Mummy I wouldn't think so, but we will find out tomorrow.
chol has more running power than Mummy and this will be advantageous. Chol & Soldo in the ruck, however, I'm thinking Chol running around more, whilst Soldo is pure ruck only.
