R23 team changes v Brisbane

[TigerMasochist]

Our game plan relies on our pressure on the opposition up the ground and not allowing them enough opportunities to score highly. Our backline are masters at creating a free man back and intercepting the rushed inside 50s and sling shot ting it quickly back out. We've played some very tall forward opposition and handled it well on most occassions with our undersized backline. I wouldn't be changing that. If we are being beaten by tall opposition it's be ause our gameplan pressure isn't up to scratch. Only way I'd bring Balta in atm is as a replacement for Chol.

Yep.
If the mids are earning their keep n our forward pressure shuts down any slingshot rebound, then their forwards will struggle. We're the masters of dirty ball footy going both ways n that's what makes us so difficult to beat.

 

[TigerMasochist]

There have only been eight previous matches between sides having won at least 8 in a row each.

Only once in the last forty years. More teams, annual draft, minimal size playing lists. Makes it damn hard for sides to get dominant periods within the season.

Cameron is the only real danger.

Dave, Tigga and Broad can handle Hipwood, Robinson and McStay

So is Aker & Gastev.
If we loose to this mob, it will be for me equivalent to the feeling I had when we lost to them in 87 and won the spoon.
We will smash them.
They remind me us under Frawley, beat the easy team then get smashed ny the real teams.
This time around we are the REAL team. (Excluding Ellis)

Balta starting, and spending quite a bit of time in the ruck in the VFL last week, might indicate that he's being considered for the 2nd ruck position.

Salta hasnt been tried yet has it?

Im all in.

I look at it the other way.
It's happened now three times in the last 48 years but only once in the previous 75 years (and never in the previous 73 years).

cotchin in
Ross out.

*smile*. I know I saw a much longer list before I posted, either that or I've had a massive brain fart. Has that L2R2R bloke fudged the paperwork n undone me?

Nor Baldo.

Does this mean Grimes is a definite starter, or could Balta or McKintosh be his replacement?

 

[zippadeee]

Umpires?
Thats who will influence the result

 

[caesar]

Does this mean Grimes is a definite starter, or could Balta or McKintosh be his replacement?

Means Grimes needs to get through main training tomorrow

 

[Tigers of Old]

In Cotchin Out Ross
That's it. They won't mess with things too much.

Give Ross a full game on ball in the VFL. Wouldn't discount him yet.

 

[Don’t Argue]

Understood but question was, are one of them his likely replacement? Thought Garthwaite might have been included?

 

[Baloo]

I'd give Balta a run. We know what Chol brings. Let's see what Balta is like after another run in the twos. Then we need to lock one in for the finals unless Nank makes it back.

 

[Mopsy]

Hmmm, thinking about it I have doubts about Caddy on a wing.

I would like to see Cotch in and Caddy out, but I know it won't happen.

 

[caesar]

Understood but question was, are one of them his likely replacement? Thought Garthwaite might have been included?

Putting it that way maybe Dylan is a certain starter.
Think it would be Balta vs Chol given Balta's role changed last week at VFL level to Forward/Ruck as opposed to defense.
Kmac was good down back in VFL so may be the cover but certainly not a like for like. They might even want a bigger body back there than Baker?

Hi Ceasar
Do you know what time training is and if it's open or is it.... get upstairs @the royal with binoculars?
