Team selection vs Geelong Cants

[Tigers of Old]

Obviously Bolton goes out with concussion protocols.

Graham will apparently be available for selection.
Mansell likely returns as well.

Smith should come into consideration.
They'll probably give Kosi another week in defence before trialing that despite Young's injury.


I'd say it will be few changes. Yze will be keen to settle some players after a decent performance.

Out: Bolton (inj), Green (or Sonsie)
In: Graham, Mansell

 

[Smoking Aces]

Out: Bolton Green
In: Mansell Graham

 

[No 4]

the new full forward picked up in the mid season draft.

 

[tigerman]

Kosi to come in and play down back, with Balta to play forward.

 

[TheUmpire]

More importantly, who do we play on Stewart?

Initially I thought Broad but then I remembered the brilliant job he did on Cameron last year.

Some other options - Pickett, KMac, Brown (learning opportunity). Maybe even Miller.

 

[Tigers2011]

Out: Ryan - can’t mark, can’t play.

 

[The Mole]

In Garner

 

[Ripplestick]

In Garner

Was wondering whether he would be in our radar

If we play someone defensive on him surely it is Mansell.

It *smile* me to tears watching that sniper get uncontested marks everytime we play them. How hard is it to have someone play tight on him?

I want him knocked out the *smile*

Lefau to put his knee through his head please

Bring back Towner

If it was good enough for Young to go back to the 2's for some confidence, then we should be doing the same thing with Short this week. His form has been absolutely awful and those dump kicks are killing us. I watched the replay on tv after being at the game, and the amount of goals they kicked on us from his turnovers was high. Lets give Smith a taste of the AFL next week. I think he's a better defender than Short is too from what I've seen in the VFL

 

[The Mole]

Was wondering whether he would be in our radar

Just my thoughts but here is my reasoning -
1) Strong and developed AFL-ready body,
2) Has already played at the level and is fit enough and in good VFL form to play now,
3) Has leadership,
4) Only listed as short term contract so can just go on the list for this year and then return to the VFL and his day job as indigenous player development manager at seasons end if required.
The perfect fill-in. He has put himself into the draft and I wouldn’t want to lose him to another club.

 

[seven]

Blicavs and Clark both out for 1 week for high hits
Is Geelong going to challenge?

Keep Steely in. He'd be more effective than Sonz.

Hope so, I'd prefer they both play.

Unlikely as vice and earlier JDM winner but I agree with you. Love to see Smith get his chance.

Prefer to see Graham come back through reserves. If he plays and goes down with the same hamstring again, heads should roll.
