Changes for Rnd 18 v Hawthorn

[aguy]

I don't see Shaw as an automatic in when fit. Had some good games this year but to my eye he's not quite the player of a year or two ago. Experience counts but Rohan's speed, height and spoil make him a great option down back.

I think it's too early to call for Rohan to permanently replace shaw but I do think he should play a game in the reserves I his way back

I mean shaw should play a game in reserves

Roughead is due for a big game so hopefully Teddy is switched on. My worry is Gunston. Rampe will probably go to him. Gunston was kept goalless last time but his supply was limited. I'm a fan of Rampe but he can struggle when the pressure is on.

I thought he was good in round 1 against GWS, possibly one of our best 3, and was amazed that he came back so well. It was after that that he was a bit rough.
So straight back into the AFL, then 3 weeks in the NEAFL for mine.

Changes Round 18 V Hawks

Thought this thread was already up but couldn't find it.

It sounds like Hanners may not be ready from what Horse has said...So I think they'll go with the following..

IN : Tippett, Shaw

OUT : Towers, B Jack

Sub : Lloyd or Rohan

[CJK]

I approve that post

[Auntie.Gerald]

i think Lloyd will not get the vest

Here it is EK!

Shall we let this parallel universe run it's coarse?

If it's going to be a merger, let's hope it goes better than Demons/Hawks.

The scheduling of Swans Reserves matches complicates team selections it seems to me. I note that this week while the seniors play in Melbourne on Saturday night, the Reserves travel to Darwin to play at the same time. This makes the selection of emergencies difficult. I think I am right in saying that Derickx hasn't played a match for 3 weeks (twice an emergency plus the bye). So he really needs to play for the Reserves this week. But on the other hand it is risky to not have a ruckman as an emergency in case Pyke has a last minute injury or illness.

It seems my parallel universe has run into a black hole.

So to repeat myself. Given Hanners sounds very doubtful, they'll go with...

IN : Tippett, Shaw

OUT : Towers, B Jack

Sub : Rohan or Lloyd (Probably Rohan)

Emergencies will be interesting given the scheduling....

You'd think they will want Jones, Mitchell and Derrickx to play this weekend given their respective time off.

Emg : Towers, Membrey, Hewitt

Got to have a ruckman as emergency so Derickx will be on the plane to Melbourne this week, play ressies next week.

[AnnieH]

are we there yet.
Having a week off is so boring.

Derickx hasn't played any football in 4 weeks.
