Changes for Rnd 20 V Geelong

[liz]

Well could probably poor a line through Dawson for the rest of the year. Good ins. Just surprised Foote is emergency. Would like to know who is the travelling emergency as we have a few coming back from injury. It is what it is n we should win tomorrow.

The reserves play in Brisbane on Saturday, so they could conceivably take two down to Geelong and fly them up to Brisbane early Saturday morning to play NEAFL (assuming they aren't needed in the senior team). Indeed, regardless of whether they fly them up to Brisbane, I imagine they will take two emergencies down to Geelong, especially after last week's experience.

Whoops that's Cockatoo

That makes more sense. I could have gone and looked up myself who was the other "out" but you've done the work for me and rewarded my laziness.

[MattW]

Didn't see Dawson , but only seen about half the team Hayward was there but no Kennedy . So will be interested to see final team . Hopefully Dawson gets a crack way overdue

Did you see any of the emergencies: Foote, Robinson or Aliir?

[Markwebbos]

Poor Dawson. I really wish I knew why he keeps being overlooked.

Do you think we have gone extra tall to try to force them to play Harry Taylor back?

[Ludwig]

It's hard to understand what Longmire is trying to prove. He's back to his failed 2 ruckmen structure. He's a case study for archaeologists, not football analysts. I understand keeping Hayward in because he simply loves Hayward and we all have our fetishes (sorry for speaking for those without fetishes). So Hayward stays and Dawson rots in the reserves racking every stat imaginable. How he can pick Sinclair over Aliir or Dawson is beyond comprehension, even if it means going back to playing 2 ruckmen. He's a stubborn (not so) old fool. Lucky Geelong are really down in personnel, so we are still in with a good chance to win even with a weaker side than necessary.

He hates making changes. It's effectively just Tippett in for the injured Naismith. All the others are regulars returning from minor injuries.

Sorry liz I should have worded it better I meant emergency/emergencies. Sorry again. Yeh I think your right that they could travel up sat morning. Just interested cause we a fair few coming back in from injury.

I'm very surprised they've named Foote as an emergency. He didn't do anything of note last week.

I hope Tippett does well, but admit that I have lost confidence in his ability to see out a game, and - worse - his ability to compete when he's having a poor day.

I, too, am thinking that we can win this, without being overly confident. Good ins and I don't think the boys will be flat, as they seemed to be last week.

I'm a fan of Jake Lloyd and hope he will play a fine game tomorrow.

[Matty10]

Essentially, we are picking our best available team - I have no problem with that strategy.

In Rohan Reid Lloyd Tippett
Out Robinson Foote (both omitted) Kennedy (hamstring) Naismith (abdominal strain)

Emergencies same as last week Aliir Foote Robinson

Cats ZGuthrie Simpson for Dangerfield and Motlop
Emg Black House Stanley

Strange sometimes. They drop Foote and Robinson but they are emergencies. I thought they were ordinary enough last week to be completely omitted.

[gloveski]

No but only seen about half the team the rest were already on the bus . Got a photo with Parks so happy days

Reid, Sinclair and tippet. Back to first six rounds

[waswan]

Alir for Hayward and Naismith for sinclair and we are full strength

I've never been jealous of other clubs team lists, even if they were better than ours. But I am jealous of Clarkson being Hawthorn's coach and not ours.

Maybe Horse took too many head knocks in those days before concussion testing and it wiped out his ability to project into the future. He seems to be stuck in football antiquity and can't see his way out. He keeps returning to places he knows best, regardless of their value.

This graphic tells the story. Even with his great record, Longmire is still considered a 2nd rate coach by his peers.

[Jeynez]

What's wrong with Tippett/Reid/Sinclair?

Tippett is easily our best ruckman IF he's fit, needs to play seniors in preparation for finals.

Reid and Sinclair are quite agile for their size, and I suspect Reid and Buddy will rotate between each other i50 and up the ground. Having Sinclair at FF will allow guys like Rohan and Reid to get mismatches.

Can't point to our 0-6 as difinitive "proof" this lineup doesn't work. Everyone was playing badly, and our hardness/pressure around the ball was down. If we get 50+ i50s our forward line will be hard to stop

[Boddo]

With no Kennedy I would like to see mills have a run through in the midfield stage tomorrow night.
