Throw the team around all over the place Brad go completely full ■■■■. Place mcgrath as full forward & your wicked game plan is all set. TBH anything less is a complete wank.
Its an interesting dilemma with the rucks this week - Vigo, Blaki, 2MP & Goldy are all ~200cm and around ~100kg. Witts is 210cm & 110kg - so he will probably monster all of them - our mids just need to be aware of this
There are pros and cons with bringing Goldy back in - personally I think 2MP is experienced enough to be our main ruck with Vigo as backup. McMahon with 5 goals in the reserves deserves a shot & comes in for Blaki
Goldy can come back the following week and be cherry ripe against the Tigers, Ridley & Langford can play a half in the reserves
Changes;-
OUT: Duursma, Perkins, Hobbs, Blaki
IN: Durham, Reid, Redman, McMahon
Prior Reid McGrath
Redman Lav Roberts
Clarke Caldwell Laul
Martin Caddy Guelfi
May McMahon Kako
2MP Setters Merrett
Bench: Durham Parish Johnson Vigo
SUB: Gresham

From all reports Duursma’s good to go but I’ll believe when he runs out and even then I won’t be totally convinced. Even if he is, maybe it’s worth managing him for another week. Also gives Lual and Clarke wing time.

Ideally sub off a tall later in the game?

Yeah that was my thinking - a tall off and Gresham (or another small as SUB) comes on
Way way way too tall.
So it’s exactly what we will do.
Jon Ralph, Lauren Wood and Glenn McFarlane? I’m not sure they’re exactly match committee material!

I’m not fussed when it happens but I want to see this side named
B: Reid Laverde Ridley
HB: Hayes Blackiston Mackay
C: Jones Martin Cox
HF: McMahon May Caddy
F: Wright Draper Gerryn
R: Goldy Bryan Vigo
Bench: who cares
At Marvel or on a very dry day at the G.
I want Blitz training reports to confirm Reid is ready to go. This has disaster written all over it.
Centre is a worry. Lacks height.

Why do we have to bring in McMahon let him dominate the vfl for a few weeks with another few bags
1 Like
He’s in form.
Already dominating the lower level.
Nothing to gain or learn playing more VFL.
Leave Goldy OUT.
Ruck 2mp with Vigo (or Blakiston), and see how Caddy, May & McMahon work as a forward grouping.

Isn’t that too tall?
If we bring McMahon we will we need to drop one of May or Blakiston
We’ll be rotating a ruck off the bench.
Vigo goes back to VFL.
Blakiston rucks with 2mp, assuming at least 1 tall defender returns from injury.
Yes we’re a little tall, though it’s a Marvel game.
As much as I love Nik, we’re way too short with him in the team.

Sheeds once played a forward line that included Salmon, Vander, TD, Roger and Peter Sommerville. From memory we lost
But did he try it in the wet at the MCG???

Wouldn’t put it past him
Jarrod Witts is playing yeah?
Bring in Goldstein. The kids will otherwise get destroyed.
Likewise I’d like to see Langford and one of Reid or Ridley.
