Changes for Round 19

[barry]

Disagree kt. You go with what has been proven in 2016. Mcveigh, apart from one game has not contributed significantly.

From what I hear, our problem will be finding a ruckman for the weekend.

From we saw on the weekend, I'm guessing both Sinclair and Nankervis are hurt and struggling to be fit. Well I hope that is the extent of it, if Naismith is also in doubt we are in trouble.

Nah, we can just bring back Benny to play in the ruck!

More seriously, even if Naismith is fine to go and it's only the second ruck that is the issue, Towers is likely to fine himself filling in at some points of the game. (It's a good thing Sandilands is still out injured.) The other player physically capable of pinch hitting in the ruck is obviously AA. He's almost certainly got some experience at underage level in the ruck, and possibly a little in the NEAFL. But I imagine they'd be loathe to move him from the defensive post that he is still settling into unless they really have no other options.

Has there actually been any mention of Naismith being in doubt?

[KTigers]

I think lean towards Benny. Is there anything in the rules saying he can't be thrown (by say JPK) into the air in the centre circle to get a bit of extra height.
I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Are these effective disposals?

[royboy42]

Sinclair may be doubtful for a while

[KTigers]

No, just disposals. I can't seem to find players effective %. I'm sure it's somewhere.

No, just disposals. I can't seem to find players effective %. I'm sure it's somewhere.

Just take their disposal efficiency and multiply it by their total number of disposals.

[Mountain Man]

Disposals by Mills?

Sinclair confirmed out.

Sinclair sidelined - sydneyswans.com.au

Makes our team even more inexperienced!

Out for a month - it looks like it'll be a race between him and Kurt. Will we go with the N&N double act until finals?
