Changes for next week's final against the Blues?

[WilliamPowell]

INS: Newman, Jack, Titch

OUTS: Big O, Tuck (unfortunately), Petterd

White should be Ok 

[tigs2011]

Bring Coburg in. Give the seniors a rest and save them for next week.*

[eliminator]

Out:
Petterd (weak, poor decisions)
Big O (sorry mate, rucked well)
Whitey (hammy)

In:
Newman
Jack (better not sook because Edwards just showed him how to play IMO. Lead and keep your crap together).
Titch


Keep Tuck in. Great clearance work again.

White may play. In definitely Jack and Newman. If White fit out Petterd and Big o. If White out in Edwards

[Ruanaidh]

Unless we are absolutely sure that rain is in the offing I wouldn't be playing Tuck. The frenetic pace of finals (on a dry day) will find him out and we need our sub' to be speedy.

Out: Big O, Tuck, White
Ins: Newy, Jack, Edwards(sub)

'Tuck's ability to win clearances will be critical against the blues. Finals are all about contested footy. Furthermore Tuck can play forward if needed.

I take your point but I am more worried about their ability to spread.

Tuck over Foley in this situation anyday.
His last season with us and will be intent on playing great footy.
Foley - meh.
Does good, does terrible.
Usually kicks a goal or two after having gave away 2 or 3 through sloppy disposal

[RedanTiger]

Tuck will be one of the outs for the final.

After giving Tuck the final insult of playing him as the sub after he announced his retirement, Dimma and the match committee won't back down on getting rid of him for good.

[Stripes]

Out - Tuck, Petterd, Vickery or White (if inj)

In - Edwards, Newman, Jack

I would leave the Big O in for the Carlton clash to compete with Warnock. Maric does not match up well against Warnock and, as the game went on last time we played the Blues, Maric's reduced able to jump exacerbated the problem. I think we need to keep the same structure as we used against the Dons but swap Jack for Vickery. I would think about doing a West Coast against Warnock and get Vickery or the Big O around the stoppages and have them go third man up.

The ruck contest is our greatest weakness imo and if we want to win the clearances we need to do something different.

Newman is an upgrade in that role on Petterd = no brainer if fully fit.

Jack creates a huge amount of goals but we should not risk bringing him back in if he is not fit. A CHF that can not kick more than 20m and struggles to lead would be a hindrance so Selection Panel - forget reputations and pick on fitness   

Edwards inclusion to the HF line is vital. Tuck is a clearance machine but he is not defensive enough and hasn't the legs for a full game atm. HArd call because I love the guy but unless the weather is wet, Edwards should take his spot.

Your dreaming if you think the Big o will get a game before Vickers Stripes

[Hellenic Tiger]

I'm with Chuck on this Stripes Vickery will play. I reckon Ty is one of Dimma's non negotiables like Jako when fit and available.

Agree is "Non negotiables" the politically correct way if saying "one of Dimma's favourites"

OUT:

Petterd, Stephenson, Tuck/White (if injured)

IN:

Newman, Riewoldt, S.Edwards

Why are people counting on Newmans injury to be healed.
Upper ankle, meaning the ligament that connects the ankle to the whatsit.

On top of that, the bloke hasn't played for the best part of a month and will struggle regardless.

White on the other hand didn't do a hammy at all.
Was lower back spasms and the club, as of Sat night, were confident he'd pull up fine.

Foley out for titch.
Petard for Jack.
Tuck to start.

[Yeahright]

I like your anatomical terms  . Do you know if it's medial or lateral side? Think cause the club said he could've played on the weekend people are confident he'll get up. I reckon if his only 70% they'd still play him (rightly or wrongly).
On White, his lower back spasms were a result of his hammy 

You'd be happy with all of Jack, Ty, Edwards, Maric and Stephenson floating around the forward line?
