Off the top of my head

Alex Rance to replace bowden.

McMahon to get dropped for Mitch Farmer

Cotchin to come in for raines

Vickery to come in and play forward, off the bench.

Graham to come in for schulz and give us two rucks and possibly a top heavy side assuming Vickery wont ruck.

Oh and we'll still lose by 20 pts

[Infamy]

Certainly not pencilling this one in as a loss given no Judd and no Fev.
Will be very interesting seeing how the Carlton forward line is structured

No Judd?  I didn't know that.  Has he had surgery?

Ok we're in with a chance then.  Still its unusual for a new coach's system to take hold in the first year so I'd still put my money on carlton at this stage but maybe only 8 pts.

Enforced holiday!

They gave him a couple of weeks off to practice his pressure points.

Ins to come from Cotch, Vickery, Post, Collo, Martin, Nahas, Connors and Rance.

If we pick up a 20-22 year old late in the ND or in the PSD then they could be another option.

Off the top of my head

Vickery to come in and play forward, off the bench.

Can someone please explain to me why people keep putting Vickery in the forward line as his prominant position?? He has played ruck for 90% of his career and occasionally as a forward. He is a ruckman and that is where he should line up come round one, against Kruz.

The same happened with Patto, he was recruited as a CHF/forward and because of our ruck shortages when Simmo went down, Graham was injured and one other was out he was put in the ruck. He was and is too short and did not have the leap, agility or strength to pull that position off and if those players were not injured he would have played out of the ruck about 20% instead of 100%. But as fate would have it everyone bagged Patto as a ruckman....... but he never was one. Vickery is a part time forward at best, he is more of a ruckman that moves forward to kick a couple now and then.

Vickery played his junior football against Natnui and the like and his position is ruck, moving forward. Vickery is a ruckman who should rest at FF but it is NOT his prominant position.

agree.

Players should be played to their positions not thrown here there and everywhere. The problem with us for far too long is players are always played out of position.
Tambling, Edwards as a half back planker-what a joke, Patto, Richo) List goes on

I want Vickery played in the Ruck because i dont rate Simmo and Graham well who the stuff knows what he will end up, prob at the Dingley tip.

Tiges would've won this game till i heard Gary march say this will be a Richo goodbye game so on that note, the build up, the big game day celebration combined with the fact the Blues will be out to make a big point, will result in a Tiger loss.

Hopefully the richo farewell will be at half time, not before the game.
Im sure Hardwick will have a different approach to wallet in regards to preparation. Hopefully he can keep a lid on things so the players dont leave it in the sheds like they did last year.
I think some of the tiger boys will have a point to prove as well.

Um because he is 27kg soaking wet. Put him in against more solid bodies for an extended amount of time and your asking for trouble. How about you let him develop?
