Teams for Semi v Sydney

Would've liked to see Skip in for Hutto as we will need the ruck at full strength against the cats.

So we have won this week already?

We all expected Ray to be gone..

But out for Tiller? dont know who id prefer

Tiller in my mind is on his last legs too, he hasnt impressed and has been given call ups to the seniors yet hasnt done anything good enough to keep him in there..

I hope he does play a good game..and proves to everyone his position in that side, else he'll just get dropped next week and then we wont see him till pre-season if they decide to keep him..

Given Tiller is a young tall, I think he has had a pretty good year. He hasn't cemented a spot in the senior 22, but has shown large amounts of improvement across the board, enough so that he should be retained.

What i would like to see is.... Aker back in the forward line, Tiller at full forward or around the area, Hudson or Minson when not rucking, dropping back into the space and stopping Hall getting a lead.
Griffen on the wing running through the centre breaking a tackle, Cooney in the centre and either having long shots or putting it to the square.
Gilbee taking handballs off any free kicks we receive around the forward 50 metre arc.
Gia, Higgins,Aker or Harbrow ready for crumbs or short passing.
To me this is all about attack this week, at no point should we piss around with handballing around in the back line.
Every possesion should be forward , whether an inch or 50 metres.
Johnno, Tiller and Welsh should be our leading marking options.
Attack is when we are unbeatable and we shouldnt be scared to go to 50-50 contests as i believe we have been.
We wont die not knowing this way.

Given Tiller was playing VFL reserves 18-odd months ago, I'm happy with his development. Will be interesting to see how he goes over the pre-season, whether he is on an aggressive weights program or he is kept fairly light & they put heaps of cardio work into him.

Put some muscle into the kid so we can get him taking contested marks, would be nice to have a player that can take them 30m out 1on1 or even in a pack

Anyone else hear that rumour that Murphy is a late withdrawl?

Yes just need to turn up!!!!

Only a msg sent into SEN stating Callan Ward would replace him.

Have heard also but would think we would go in with a 100% fit side.
