Interesting to see Tippa named in a forward pocket!!!

Interesting to see Tippa named in a forward pocket!!!

Although I don’t think he will line up down back, I do think we’ll play a smallish forward line. Geelong have big defenders so maybe we could expose them up there a little bit if that’s our plan. One of the reason McKenna’s in I think.

Good side. Fair outs.

5

Barry davos with the good oil again. Is he lysp?

6

Like

Only 3 top ups in that team. Glad to see we’re using our listed guys in force and giving them every chance at playing together regularly. Should put us in good stead for next year. Wouldn’t mind keeping on Dea and Kelly while talking of 2017…

8

All the pace is on the bench. The backline as named would make a glacier look like Usain Bolt.

I wonder what they’ll do about Dangerfield. He is killing everything at the moment.

I would really like to see Shaun McKernan in the team and on the ball as a ruck-rover.

Pfft, that Geelong side’s got nothin.
Reckon we’re about to pull off the upset of the Year.

Oh man, these meds I’m on are awesome :smile:

10

Still no Smack, this game is going to be scary for us.

I’m on meds too. I reckon it won’t be a one sided match as everyone believes.

12

We do seem to have a lot of players whose best position is probably the HBF.

13

Pace for the forward line, grunt for the middle. Like those changes

14

Woosha staying true to his word you’d have to say.

15

LYSP was delisted at the end of last season. Barry Davos was drafted to fill a position on the HBF but they seem have similar connections to the leadership group…

16

Probably a tall short. Maybe a Long short too.

17

Yup, I hope I’m wrong, but I think we will struggle with their tall forwards.

Im loving the ins, would have liked to include Grima for this one.

18

Yep. Needs a Grima.

Anyone see the game in Shepparton live!

Good team selections again well done woosha.
