Round 6 : Changes vs Melb

[ugg]

Lions and Swans reserve sides play at Harrup Park | Mackay Daily Mercury

Mitchell, ROK and Gaz have flown this morning to Mackay for the ressies game tomorrow, Goodes and Reid didn't.

[ugg]

Goodesy in for BJ. BJ, Jones and Reid the emergencies.

[ernie koala]

You'd think, if Reid is fit to play...Then he plays, surely.

Maybe there will be a late change??

[Ludwig]

Melbourne have brought in Jamar for Spencer, so still only one (underdone) ruckman. I think we should drop Derickx. Reid must be okay if he's listed as an emergency, so maybe he can be the sub and Lloyd plays a full game.

Hard to believe Goodes is ready to play a full game, but they seem to indicate that he can. Or Jones in as sub. But no need for 2 ruckman against the Dees.

[ShockOfHair]

Good to see Goodesy back. He will surely get the vest.

Well done Jones. Is it to give him the chance of playing his bro?

[aardvark]

Goodes is back - sydneyswans.com.au

Sounds like Reid will play if he pulls up ok tomorrow.....

[rb4x]

I think Zak has gone to Mackay

[707]

But no need for 2 ruckman against the Dees.

Agree, they only have Jamar, who hasn't exactly burned it up in their VFL team since resuming, and second ruck is the 193cm fat spud Pederson. Drop Derickx, back up ruck LRT and get some extra run.

Goodes full game as permanent fwd pocket, should be able to run the game out from there and gives the Dees a match up nightmare :-)

[Swansongster]

Goodes is back - sydneyswans.com.au

Sounds like Reid will play if he pulls up ok tomorrow.....

And the crowd cheered.

[ugg]

None of the three emergencies named in the ressies team. Sounds like there could be a few changes in the works

[dimelb]

Goodes is named on the ground. Lloyd for the vest?

[Auntie.Gerald]

Definitely looks like more changes will come. Nevertheless, I don't quite understand BJ going out. His leg speed and work in the forward 50 could have been useful at the MCG against a team like the Dees. Then again, despite what the last 5 weeks have shown we do have a quality roster and there are already a few unlucky ones who will head up north.

Separate to my concerns about Goodes coming into the team and doing a Juddy, how lovely will it be to see the Champ back? I think a lot of us were concerned about whether he would ever play again. <3

[Matt80]

Well done Adam Goodes for coming back in.

Just a question on the emergencies. Why is Zak Jones not getting a game in the reserves. Would have it been difficult for the club to put him on the plane to North Queensland this morning and then fly him down to Melbourne on Saturday?

[Aaron]

The reserve plays on Friday before the senior plays on Saturday thousands of Km away. It makes sense that the emergencies are not playing in the reserve . Hope that Jack Llyod can play a full game. His more effective kicks can be more important than BJ's pace. Actually, I don't think Llyod is slow
