Round 3 - The Maggots

Both cases against Rocca & Schulz were no cases.

Both will play this weekend.
 
Gee, it could get ugly here if we lose. A loss could place us stone motherly last, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Chin up.

If we lose we can go to plan B, ie the first & an extra first round draft choice.

It would be nice having 3 early picks.

2 KPPs & a ruckman. ;)

As sad as that is, I was thinking the same thing earlier Phanto!

If we lose this, have you seen the fixture. 0-11 could be on the cards ;D

An early selection choice.

1. Krakouer could prove to be a tagger, run-with tackler. H.Shaw is their best rebounder.
2. Polak may have to return to CHB as a match up on Cloke. Gaspar should be on Rocca.
3. May be Richo could help with short stints in the ruck.
4. Think Pettifer is feeling effect of tagging for 1st time. Might need to start on bench.
5. Deledio's done enough to start on the ball.
6. Tuck & Polo can provide fresh legs.

B: Lockyer,178; Prestigiacomo,193; Wakelin,191
F: Tambling, 179; Schulz, 193; M.Richardson, 195
HB: Johnson,183; Clement,190; H Shaw,182
HF: Hyde, 186; P.Bowden,191; Krakouer, 176
C: Pendlebury,190; Swan,183; Thomas,184;
C: J.Bowden, 188; Johnson, 187 Tivendale, 185
HF: Maxwell,190; Cloke,195; Licuria,179
HB: McGuane,191; Polak, 194; Raines, 184
F: Medhurst,179; Rocca,195; Davis,178
B: Newman, 183; Gaspar, 192; King, 174
R: Fraser,202; R Shaw,180; O'Bree,180
R: Pattison, 197; Deledio, 189; Foley, 177
I: Richards,201; O'Brien,188; Burns,181; Nicholls,177
I: Polo,187; Edwards,180; Pettifer,183; Tuck, 189
E: Cox,191; Toovey,189; ......
E: Moore, 189; Howat,182; Collins,184

In:
1. King, specifically on Davis.
2. Edwards, to give the kid a feel for it.

Out:
1. Howat, doesn't match up well with Pies but will be back.
2. Moore, we've got too many 188-189 hbfs in the team. Both McGuane & Moore are same types. Maybe alternate them through Coburg/Richmond.

Exactamundo with your Ins phantail. Exactly what I was thinking. Although no way would I drop Moore at this stage. It would be the old give em 2 weeks then send em back mentality which I personally hate particularly when this guy is hopefully in the process of earning a spot. I would rather see Patrick Bowden dropped for a while. At least Moore seems to have a position on the 3rd forward more than I can say for Bowden. Also, Moore has shown a much better attack at the footy.

I understand your feelings about Moore. I have given my reasons regarding rotating him.

With Patrick Bowden, last Saturday saw him with 3 goal assists plus his usual possessions. His play at CHF freed up Richardson & Schulz to be effective forwards.
Pat at CHF allows Polak to push back to CHB, where we need an extra big body against Rocca & Cloke.

If the Carringbush had more medium forwards, I'd've had Moore in defence, but they don't. The only medium is Maxwell, 190cm, which means that we only need 1 medium defender. That's why I've pushed Joel Bowden up to a wing, he fits better there.

Anyway, the boys around the selection table may have different ideas.
