Changes for Rnd 12 V Richmond

[aardvark]

Ins Mummy
Outs Seaby or Everitt

Or no change

[mcs]

If it was me I'd bring in Mummy for Everitt and that would be it, with someone else (not sure who) to be the Sub. Seaby did well tonight and we should be playing 2 ruckman imo, as both Mummy and Seaby offer plenty around the ground.

IN Mummy Jack
OUT Seaby (sorry!) Everitt (match fitness)

[BRISWAN]

Agreed but I'd also consider LJ FOR AJ but that won't happen.
Seaby deserves to keep his spot - so hard decisions this week.

So in the presso, Longmire said he saw Mummy on Thursday and he (meaning Mummy) was pretty confident of being back. Sounded more cautious on KJ and was quick to emphasise that they won't be pushing the duo too hard to return against Richmond.

I'd prefer them to miss another week then rush back and risk getting injured again. Both are far too important to our overall prospects for the season to rush back for next week and having a disaster happen. Not saying Richmond will be easy beats, far from it- but better to be cautious then left in real trouble by rushing them back.

AJ is a bloody gun and won't be going anywhere.

Agreed.

Also although if mumford does come back this week either everitt or seaby will be out.
Just on a side-note just because seaby played well tonight doesn't mean he will retain his spot the fact of the matter is most of our other talls are more versatile and have more skill.
If Sydney are going to play a second specialist ruckman it will be pyke(when he is fit) IMO.

You don't rate AJ much, do you?

[GongSwan]

The only changes will come from the blokes coming back from injury and some sort of rotation on the substitute. Everitt to the 2's and parker in as sub

Going by this post and the one in the gameday thread, you surely must be trolling? I don't think I've seen such negativity after a huge win.

[BRISWAN]

Happy with the first half but we failed to go for the jugular.
Good sides do this and play out the four qtrs.
No doubting our clearances and clangers in the second half -
Which would have opened the door to better teams.
Still much to work on but best signs in awhile that the fwd entries
are improving. (mostly due to improved delivery from the mids).
Tadgh's kicking in still worries me and Mal needs a new set of boots.
Much to look forward to.
Please include kizza as a sub next week rather than run him in the twos!

[erica]

Doubt that Jack will play next week -
Swans upbeat with Mumford close - AFL.com.au

I call bull@@@@ on that.

I don't have the stats and I'll let somebody with more time on their hands to get them if they please, but from my observation over many years is, when sides put on a clinic and lead by 10 goals or more at halftime, they frequently either lose or barely win the second half. Seen it many many times before with good sides and bad.

It's just the nature of the beast that the intensity drops away a little after the break. The big blowouts nearly always come when sides take control in the 3rd quarter and blow them away with 10+ goal last quarters where sides being obliterated don't have the luxury of rejigging and regrouping at halftime...
