Changes for next week against the Crows?

Sonsie was "tactically" subbed off.

Floss copped two knocks but played out the game.


Fire away with your changes?

INS: Blight, Fawcett, MRJ

OUTS: Sims, Smith, Trainor


I'd actually drop Balta but they won't

I know the ins need to be Blight at a minimum.

Sims out. Not ready. Good for the exposure but just not ready.

Balta stuff. Lynch and Faull there also.

Backline of Blight, Miller, Trainor, Broad, Vlastuin and Smith is tall enough.

Would consider MRJ for Green but that's a maybe.

McAuliffe someone said he was okay to go, out Ross or Sonsie
Blight forward ruck, out Sims
Algar for 4 quarters, out Green
Trezise to allow Brown to go to a wing out McIntosh what a waste of space he has become.
Lefau as a mid OUT Smith strugling and not currently up to the level
Trainor back to where he was playing well in the back line.wtf is going on there. Are they trying to find ways to stuff the kids around.
Campbell to a wing how long do we have to put up with such shizen players on the wings and flanks.
Ralphsmith should be dropped but would like to see him gho back to his old junior role of hff playing high.

Vlastuin - Balta - Trainor
Banks - Miller - Trezise

Brown - McAuliffe - Campbell
Nankervis - Taranto - Prestia

Algar - Faull - Ralphsmith
Blight - Lynch - Mansell

Hopper - Broad - Lefau -

Your final team down the bottom is missing a player or two, I can't think of who.

Blight is tearing it up in the VFL backline - you want to bring him straight into the AFL forward line? Would be better of throwing Balta stuff IMO.

Lefau as a midfielder? Eh...has he shown any capacity to play this role?

Why not try Balta on the wing? Blight takes his spot in defence

Team Tips:

Despite coming off the bye, the Tigers dished up another stinker last Sunday against the Bulldogs. And after Adem Yze made only one change from the disappointing Round 13 loss to Sydney, more are surely coming this Thursday night. In a boost, veteran rebounder Jayden Short should be set to return after having missed six games with a troublesome calf injury. Kaleb Smith has played five consecutive senior games but could be due for a spell, while James Trezise continues to ply his trade at VFL level and could be called upon after again being named an emergency. First-year forward Jasper Alger was limited to three disposals and went scoreless in his AFL debut. Noah Balta is eligible to face the Crows given the 3.20pm start time. Tyler Sonsie seems set for a return to the reserves following a very lean outing against the Dogs in which he recorded a -2.9 player rating. Yze’s young key forward pairing of Jonty Faull and Tom Sims could see a shake-up after another combined goalless outing, with Mykelti Lefau again an emergency last week and surely due a look-in. Jacob Blight was busy in the VFL, posting 27 disposals and 14 marks against Footscray. Sam Lalor could be in the frame for a return following his hamstring setback, but the club might afford him another week out of precaution.

McCauliffe isn’t on the injured list so must be ok ??

In: Lalor
Out: Sonsie

Expect a lot of changes in a few weeks though. Armstrong and Hotton to come in for sure.

Think they listed Lalor a week off still.

Apparently Armstrong too, but I'd bring them back slowly. All these hamstrings need to be careful.

Lalor is a test, Armstrong 1 week. Lalor should come back in, Armstrong needs a few weeks.

What makes you think Lalor is ready to go?

I wouldn't rush him personally. Not at this stage of the season.

Give Alger a full game instead.

Injury report says he’s available, no point playing in the 2’s.

Alger to get a full game, one of kmac or green sub.

I just hope he's not going 100% at AFL intensity and pings it again when he could be easing back in via the VFL at 80% throttle.

Don't wanna risk the new Lamborghini nomsayin.
