Changes for the Eagles game?
« on: May 13, 2018, 04:03:56 PM »
Broad looked like he copped a corky (?) in the upper thigh but played out the game.

Prestia and Grigg should be close to returning by next week.

Fire away with your changes, if any?

Lambert?
Broad?

Both either cramped up or?

Martin needs a rest! tagged out and must be carrying an injury?

This would be my only forced change although Macintosh can’t be far off the chopping block.

Would bring in Prestia for Lloyd if he’s fit but wouldn’t risk him if they’re not sure.

Think lambo and broad copped corkies looks like they’ll be a few sore boys given how physical it was but hopefully no injuries.

I think McIntosh could be a straight swap for Ellis. I think towner might be at a risk of losing his spot just for no scoreboard impact. He does crash the packs which is great but I think 11 possessions and zero goals is poor for someone in his position.

How far until Rioli is fit?

Not sure on ins and outs at this stage, but the more pace we can get into the team for the next game in Perth, the better.

I reckon we can expose the Eagles with a lot of pace in the team.

Yep all four could go but Conca won’t, reckon Higgins and Butler the likely ones to go

Didn't think Lloyd was near our worst. Butler played one of the worst games of footy possible, did kick a crunch goal for us though.

Badly need Rioli back.

Can we get by with 2 quick small forwards? If so, Higgins/Butler out - the Bellis to return for some wing action.

You also can't tell me Anthony Miles hasn't kicked the door down and demanded a game in the seniors after a 40+ possession game & 2 goals.

Higgins needs a rest. Miles would be a great inclusion, if not Prestia, so Dusty can sit forward while he gets through whatever it is he is carrying.

The thing I’ve noticed with Butler / Castagna is that just when you write one off for poor performances the next week he has a blinder. It’s like they both change personalities from week to week and your glad they weren’t dropped.
Higgins needs a rest in the twos though.

So hard to drop bloke's so I'm going to say let's rotate out Higgins, Broad, Townsend
In Prestia, Grigg, Miles

Miles deserves a game.  41 touches, 2 goals.
