A tough few days for the match committee.

Fire away with your changes, if any?

Caddy if fit for Lloyd
I reckon Higgins should stay in at the expense of Graham
If Vlastuin is fit then I am not so sure... maybe Bellis.

Just play 100% fit players.

tough bc 25-26 dont go into 22.

Unlucky but Lloyd will make way for Caddy, did a few silly things but overall was pretty good.

I dont think Higgins will get dropped, nor Broad

Maybe BEllis for Vlastuin.

Graham may have to wait if Caddy and Vlatuin are 100%
Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?
Post by: 1965 on April 25, 2018, 08:13:31 AM



Given the five day break I would think Jack Graham would be a lock.


Same with Caddy and Vlastuin if fit.

Ins: Miles, Caddy, Vlaustin, Coleman-Jones.

If any player gets a 'rest' this weekend, it should be Nank.
Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?
Post by: Jackstar is back!!! on April 25, 2018, 10:16:37 AM
Cotchin and Martin well managed again last night with 75% game time
Nank was rested last night for last periods in last quarter thus Grigg against Gawn at centre clearance in last quarter

Post by: dwaino on April 25, 2018, 11:15:36 AM
Assuming Graham is a lock then I guess Lloyd comes out. Did some good things but probably the weakest of the ins. If Caddy and Flossy are fit then anyone else would be stiff to be dropped.

Right or wrong- Brandon Ellis will never be dropped . That is a fact as much as the sky in blue .
Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?
Post by: pmac21 on April 25, 2018, 12:26:49 PM
In Caddy, Vlastuin
Out Lloyd, Broad
Team balance forward/back out, forward/back in. 
Graham misses, not a lock.

If Vlastuin fit definitely needs to be brought in. For team balance would drop Lloyd.
Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?
Post by: Diocletian on April 25, 2018, 01:31:54 PM
LLoyd the obvious candidate but way Hardwick spoke about him in the presser last night I 'd be surprised if he dropped Lloyd.... he has to drop two or three if Vlastuin, Caddy & Graham are all ready......Graham is our top tackler but we didn't really miss him last night as our defensive pressure was as high it's been all year... :shh

Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?

Think B Ellis is too soft for our brand of football these days...

In the Mix: Round 6

Jennifer Phelan
afl.com.au
25 April 2018


Get them in: Jack Graham is available after serving a one-match suspension, while Nick Vlastuin and Josh Caddy are hoping to put their hands up after missing the Anzac Eve win with minor injuries.

Under the pump: Jacob Townsend wasn't at his best against the Demons and missing a goal from a metre out won't help his cause. Sam Lloyd kicked two but might not hold on after replacing Caddy.

Medical room: Vlastuin (calf) and Caddy (hamstring) will have fitness tests. There were no fresh injuries on Tuesday night, but the five-day break will no doubt test some.

Verdict: The Tigers are flying so changes aren't vital. Graham will come back but Jack Higgins' three goals presents a selection challenge. Caddy should displace Lloyd but it's less clear-cut on who goes out for Vlastuin if fit – maybe Nathan Broad or even Brandon Ellis. The short turnaround could throw up some surprises.

When we beat them will it be a great win against a top eight team or just another easy win against another bottom 8 team?

Wasnt at the game but watched on TV and have watched the replay today

I thought BEllis was very poor again. Stood back off contest and refused to go in to get the ball

If they were fair dinkum then he'd get dropped for Graham.

Think this week's changes will be determimed in part by how blokes pull up with the short turnaround. Wouldn't risk Caddy

For mine

INS: Graham, Vlastuin

OUTS: BEllis, Lloyd

Very hard to make any changes however Vlastuin must come in and if Caddy is fit he also comes in.
Out might be Lloyd although I thought he was good and young Higgins might make way which would be tough on the kid. Difficult week coming up at the selection table. Ellis wasn't great but just does enough each week.
Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?
Post by: Assange Tiger 😎 on April 25, 2018, 09:28:05 PM
Ellis is a premiership hero who deserves a little more respect than what he's getting. Yes, he is frustrating but boy can he play. Won't be dropped but does need to be more consistent. One thing is for sure - not many play finals footy as well as the Bellis :shh
Title: Re: Changes for the Pies game?
Post by: Lebowski on April 25, 2018, 10:01:10 PM
Think the only ones in the gun would be BEllis and Lloyd and lloyd was pretty good overall so would be stiff. Caddy and Vlaustin are walk up starts, Graham may struggle to get back in the side :o

All three didn't play last week.

No way B Ellis get's dropped. 
It will be interesting how Collingwood go against our pressure game as the Bombers were insipid and Pies players ran around doing what they liked all day. 
Collingwood do handball a lot and that does worry us when done well

Call this crazy given Grundy's form the past few weeks but I wonder if Nank will be rested given the short break and Soldo to fill in for a game. It's a big ask to ruck alone (with Grigg and co. providing a chop out) across two games in 5 days.

No, just something I had heard.

But if you have heard Ellis, and I have heard Meadue, then maybe there is something in the wind here. Might be either of them or someone else, but seems maybe the Roos are talking to somebody.

Was told his performance needs to lift and there would not be a spot for him this week barring late changes. Body wasn't going to be risked in the VFL on Saturday as he was still sore. So basically, he was dropped and rested at the same time.  ;D
