Changes Round 15 V Melbourne

Isn't he? I'm glad I saw this as I'd previously just been believing the coach when he said that McVeigh had "done everything in that game that we asked him to do".

What would the coach, match committee and medicos know?

[WauchopeAnalyst]

Premiership co captain, nearing 300 games, class user of the ball and a fine leader and organiser. Automatic in if he is fit. Trusting the medicos on this. Has been underrated all his career.

Not the last 2 years. I cant remember a game that he did anything better then that Lloyd has been doing.

Forward only.

Probably where he will play WA

Think the aim must be to out point the Dees.

Heard on sportsbet that we have been backed in from $2.05 to $1.78 favourite while the demons has gone from $1.80 to $2.05. What is going on there??? Who is putting the money on?

McVeigh, Rohan and Towers in the same team. Unless Melbourne can't play due to fits of laughter, it's goodbye finals

The collective X factor Baz! They'll kick a ton between them.

It probably has more to do with mounting injury toll for the Dees.

They were expected to gain a few back earlier in the week, which would have made them more likely to win, but they ended up losing more players instead. I suspect the bookies are now just backing the team most likely to win based on personnel.

Good call M10. With the players they have out, I expect us to win, especially if we kick straight, buddy in particular.

If only we'd kept X on our list

[The Big Cat]

McVeigh, oh well. 60mins of footy and straight in. Our club has problems with coach and player relationships.

Claptrap.

If they do the right thing, they'll play McVeigh in the forward line. He's still a formidable player but lacks a little pace near the end of his career and he is now prone to soft tissue injuries which would be aggravated by being in the midfield. Plonking him in the forward line as a permanent small forward is the best plan. We've done that before with other players in their final few seasons (Goodes, Williams, etc) and it has worked out fine. If he spends all day in the forward half and kicks three or four goals, it would be a good day's work.

Looks bloody freezing in Melbourne tonight, 6 degrees but very little rain. They will have to drink anti-freeze not Gatorade .

[Mark26]

My prediction tonight:
-Sydney by 4 goals;
-McVeigh with an iced calf before the final siren;
-Buddy back on the scoreboard;
-BOG Isaac Has
-A little bit of shrinkage because of the chill factor.

I like that they've left Sinclair out, I think we're at the stage where we know Naismith is fit after a few weeks back in the seniors. We need to bite the bullet and stop playing two ruckmen that can't do much else. I like the faith we're showing in Naismith

[lwjoyner]

Hope not reid as back up for Naismith We need some marking strength on forward line. Would not have dropped Sincvlair but suppose Toweres will need to give the support particularly on Petersen
We seem to loose when reid is back up, too much left to buddy
