Changes for next week against the Pies?

[one-eyed]

Campbell will miss with concussion. So that's one forced change.


Fire away with your changes?

[Simonator]

No vfl makes it hard. Green in for Campbell probs

[WilliamPowell]

Balta’s available

But and I've been thinking about this for the last few weeks, I'm leaning towards him playing VFL for the remainder of the season

Green will come in for Campbell

[Tiger Khosh]

Yeah no VFL game makes it very difficult for anyone except a forced change due to injury. So Campbell is defs out but was there any word on Faull? Looked like he rammed his face straight into the back to McCarthey’s head and busted him open.

Wasn’t there a practice game for the VFL side or something? Thought I heard them say on the broadcast that Lynch played a practice match. Wonder if Armstrong also played.

Not a praccy match as such just 2 teams having a run around together. We played against Sandringham

I expect Noah will come in for the forgotten man Kosi. Which is disappointing because although Kosi hasn't done much stats wise he's been solid in giving Faull in particular space to be the lead up tall forward

[Andyy]

I think Green's kicked 6 goals in the last 2 VFL matches?

Have to reward form and replace like for like.

Balta could maybe come in for Trainor if he's sore or tired - had an extremely quiet game after the first 1.5 quarters. But Miller and Young aren't going anywhere.

Balta Ruckman relief for Nank and around the ground marking option down the line

No to Balta he needs to settle himself and makes us structure wise all over the place

Team Tips:

Just one forced change looms for the Tigers following their 49-point win over West Coast — their biggest winning margin under Adem Yze — and first time winning back-to-back games since 2023, with Seth Campbell suffering a concussion in the fourth quarter.

Steely Green, who booted three goals in the VFL a fortnight ago, shapes as the obvious like-for-like Campbell replacement, while fellow small forward Jasper Alger is an outside chance at a recall.

Yze named an unchanged lineup for the first time this year going into the Eagles game; hence, after last Saturday’s domination, there shouldn’t be many unforced changes as the club prepares for its toughest test of the season against Collingwood.

But big swingman Noah Balta should return to the senior side for Sunday’s fixture — his 10pm curfew now lifted — but given Tylar Young’s solid intercepting play down back, Balta could again be deployed up forward; most likely at Jacob Koschitzke’s expense after the ex-Hawk finished as the side’s lowest-rated player last Saturday. Could Balta play a negating forward role on Darcy Moore?

First-year key forward Harry Armstrong, who was made available last week but didn’t play as the VFL side had a bye, should return to match action this weekend, while Kane McAuliffe (quad) could also be considered for a return through the reserves.

Yep, play that big bodied wing role and chop out for Nank in the ruck

Yep, I've been all in on Balta as defense only, but he has been so disrupted this year and our second ruck is a problem that moving him around for the last few rounds would not be such a bad thing. He is like an extra midfielder when in the ruck!?

[Knighter]

Balta has been rubbish this year. I will fair dinkum spew up if they gift him a game. Go back to the VFL and earn you place first.

[WilliamPowell]

I'm interested to know from those suggesting Balta comes straight back in

Who do you drop?

Have a feeling I know who the scapegoat will be

You think the scapegoat will be Miller?

And no way should he be dropped

[Simonator]

Think Kosi will be dropped for Balta, but I don't agree with balta playing forward.
