Changes for round 14 v Hawthorn

[bandwagon]

Jones hasn't played a full game for 5 weeks, so a game to get up to speed in the NEAFL would be sensible. Hayward wasn't in great touch so I'd be loathe to turf out any of the team that performed so well against WCE.
In: JPK Out: McVeigh

I'm not sure Heyward was actually out of form, he's been scoring less, certainly, but seemed to be more focussed on doing defensive stuff rather than being his elusive self.

Wonder if they’ll play Clarke on Scully. That would be a pretty serious test of his tank! And let Hewett handle the Jaeger bomb?

Why bother tagging Scully? He's averaging 20 possessions a game and isn't that damaging.

O'Meara and maybe Henderson are the two that need to be shutdown

[longmile]

my bets are kennedy and jones in for mcveigh and thurlow/O'riordan

wouldn't mind seeing jones come back thru the ressies but highly doubt it'll happen

Hayward has only missed one game and he is the coaches pet.

Scully never has been damaging. O'Meara has been providing a lot of their drive in the middle but you're right, Henderson has been a surprise packet this year (for a Crows cast off!)

Spot on.

Stratton got two games, one for each offence so I doubt Hawks will pinch the game from us this week!

O'riordan to stay

O'Riordan MUST stay

Fixed that for you :-) COR doesn't need more NEAFL, he has all the attributes to be a significant player for us going forward, must be backed in so he gets comfortable at the level.

I would like to see COR groomed as a permanent replacement for Nick Smith.

Yes, it seems that Stratton's game has been nipped in the bud. Which I much prefer, to him spending the game nipping Bud.

With the emergence of Dawson, Hewett and Oli as solid midfield contributors, Mills' best spot for us is as a medium defender, perhaps in the Mattner mould. He's certainly playing much better of late and perhaps this could be because he has more certainty to where he will be playing now that the midfield is performing well.
Speaking of playing well, Paps is reminding me of Paul Chapman. Crafty up forward then moving into the midfield, pinch hitting to devastating effect.
One change this week for me. JPK for Macca. The others can come back through NEAFL - the team deserves another go after their last cracking performance.

Agree 100%. Great effort last game and a virtual unchanged side should be their reward. Even give Rose another run.
