Changes for R9 V St Kilda

[ernie koala]

OUT : McVeigh, Sinclair

IN : Jack, Tippett

McVeigh; due to tight hammy
Sinclair; Was serviceable, but just drops too many simple marks and has minimal impact around the ground.

[MattW]

Longmire mentioned Rampe is likely to be fit this week. If so, he's in ahead of Jack, who I reckon will return via NEAFL. McVeigh might have played his last game. He's competing with Newman for a spot in our best 22.

Ins. Rampe,Tippett, AA.
Outs. Marsh, Macca, Naismith/Sinclair.

I agree with all of that.

Out: Macca and Sinclair
In: Rampe and Tippett

Macca due to injury (I know you'll be disappointed Barry) and Sinclair because he looked cooked at times. I wasn't the only one who noticed his lack of pressure.

[RogueSwan]

Didn't Naismith have his knee/leg in ice in the last quarter?
Therefore Tippo for Sam.
I am happy with Sinclair's progress. He is very inexperienced for a ruck. He doesn't shy away from the contest. Just needs a confidence boosting mark/goal early in the game to get going.

Agree Naismith for tippo

[waswan]

I can see a Hayward for Floreant rest swap
Rohan or Robinson for Mcveigh
Tippo for any ruck
Rampe for Marsh
Alir for Harry C

You cant stop the relentless march of father time.

I also think Hayward rested or neafl. I thought Florent was injured. Maybe Rohan in for Hayward
Tippett in

Horse said in the press conference Florent was just rested and will be available for selection. Don't agree with Hayward needing a rest (just yet), I think we need his speed and forward pressure to oppose the St Kilda runners.

I agree. Haywood seemed to run out the game well.

Given we have a bye in only 2 weeks, I reckon he'll keep his spot....Unless he's got some niggle that needs resting.

If Rampe is ready to go, then I suppose the unlucky Marsh, or perhaps Melican, will make way.

[mattybloods]

A bit of unsourced rumour for everyone; apparently KJ has been having injections in his hip for a chronic injury for a long time (years?) but this year decided to stop doing it. Will be interesting to see when he comes back and whether he'll be able to have the same impact.

If Rampe is fit I'd bring him in for McVeigh and Tippett for Sinclair (unless Naismith is carrying some injury and needs a rest)

Alir for Harry C

Personally I would like to see Tippo spend another week in the seconds to earn back some respect. Aliir for Melican and Robinson for McVeigh. Maybe a week in the seconds for rampe if he is ready.

Towers playing well, may not be that he has improved, its just that he looks good in a team near the bottom of the ladder, rather than a top team.
