Changes for next week's game against the Saints?

[Willy]

McGaune is crap as a FF for coburg.

Is he? Kicked  a few two weeks ago against Collingwood I believe. What's Griff's from been like?

[Judge Roughneck]

The radio commentators made out he was average including missing a goal from a one meter our, and not contributing to play when the game was on the line.

We have a backline with smarts and skill. McGaune would be awful

[Willy]

This is what Tim Clarke, who is usually overwhelmingly optimistic about our players, had to say about Griff on the weekend:
"Got moved back due to injuries.  Lacked touch defensively and will need to improve if he’s going to play in this area."
Personally, i'd prefer to bring in Luke.
Really hope Chappy comes up.

[Yeahright]

Yep looks like Luke is the worst of a bunch on awful choices. What about Elton? Been played down there but people don't seem to optimistic. Beaner used to play down there, worth a punt even though his being playing forward

[torch]

Just have to bite the bullet and not risk Chaplin.

In (Out)

Dea (Astbury) Batchelor (Chaplin)

Reasons:

We will have a very small defence on Saturday which will be a worry.

Rance obviously will take Riewoldt and not sure who will take Kosi or any unknown tall? Batchelor?

They have small dangerous fowards which we can match against and maybe need Newman down there.

Seems like Deledio will continue to play his new half-back flank position too.

Just Win Richmond! 

[Rampstar]

How about bringing in say Batchelor and Stephenson use Stephenson in the ruck and have Maric play 1 kick behind the play.

[Smokey]

I don't know that the Saints are all that well off for height that needs us to be panicked into silly selection decisions.  They only have Stanley in defence, Riewoldt and Kosi in attack, and McEvoy as ruck.  McEvoy must be some doubt after being a concussion sub last week, Stanley is average at best and Kosi is way past serviceable.  We stretch them in our forward  line much more than they do us and our run out of defence will expose their talls so I'm not stressed as much if Chaplin doesn't play this week.

[Yeahright]

Stanely was put back forward wasn't he?

[Smokey]

I could be wrong but I thought he went back when Kosi came back in because they had no height at all in defence.

[gerkin greg]

Why would you even bother manning up Kosi

He misses goals from the goal square

Concede the point and just run it out

[Hellenic Tiger]

Is Beau Maister available for the Aints?
Still think we will have too much firepower for them.
Save Chappy for Drew Petrie in Round 15.

[WilliamPowell]

Is Beau Maister available for the Aints?

Nope, out for 6-8 weeks bad hammy

so true let's man him up with McGoof and have a spud off in the pocket.

'Spud off in the pocket' sounds like something you do when you don't think anyone is looking.
