What Changes for Round two

[bornadog]

With Chris Grant coming in and Monty out with a shoulder, there is the first change for next week.

Any other changes?

Murphy might be doubtful but really that should be the only change

[alwaysadog]

If as Rocket said in his post match press conference that Grant was fit to play but lacked match conditioning, how will he be any better next week?

[Go_Dogs]

He won't - and to be honest, I'd be surprised if he came up this week especially given the Crows injury woes, it will mean that our defence suddenly doesn't look so small, in fact, it looks like the worst forward line in the competition. (Although I will be very entertained watching them fail).

I wouldn't rush Granty back, no way. His body will be too valuable later in the year. Monty out, and perhaps one of Addison or Robbins to squeeze back in.

I am in no rush to right Adelaide off, I know they have a few injuries but they still have a lot of guns Edwards, Burton, McLeod, Goodwin, Johncock etc, and a lot of guys who are better than most people realise: reilly, mattner, bock, rutten, shirley, welsh, doughty, thompson etc. They have also won a stack of games over the past two years

No point rushing Grant in if he isn't right, or if the matchups dont work against Adelaide.

I would still like to see Matty Robbins in the team, I know we have a lot of smaller options that push forward: aka, eagle, higgins etc but the

I think Robbins will be in and Higgins out.

[aker39]

I don't know who will come in, but I can assure you Higgins will not be omitted.

I cant see them dropping Higgins either as he has been in terrific form during the summer. He didn't do a lot on Sunday but what he did was pretty damn good. Eade will give him a good run in the team.

[Go_Dogs]

Higgins will get another run for sure, it would've been the fastest paced game he's ever been involved in, and he'll be better next week for the experience no doubt.

I thought Higgins was OK, those forward pocket, flanker roles are often not exactly high posession. His hands are clearly amazing, his ability to one grab it, scoop it up off the deck has class written all over it. The super impressive aspect of his game is his ability to lead hard at the ball, gather cleanly and turn around - if only we had a guy 6 foot 5 that could do it we would have a true centre half forward.

So no Grant. Addison for Monty? Aside from Harris and Street, we have yet again run out of AFL talls.

It could be Baird for Monty who should match-up well against the Crows. The concern is the following week against the Saints.
McDougall can be used as a key defender and Darcy as a key forward by bringing in Street in the coming weeks. Not great but far from a distaster. Skipper might be in the mix as well in the coming weeks. Pask is an option but I would wait it out for a while.

Harris will be back for the saints right? To play on Gehrig who has consistently slaughtered us and looked very good Friday. This gives us a far more versatile mix in the backline, to go with Morris, Hargraves and Wight - enabling us to chop and change our matchups. Last year the Crows when very tall in attack against us with Rutten and Bock all spending time forward.

I haven't seen enough of McDougall to know if he is useful as a key defender, with the Eagles my perception was that he played best at full forward having a bit of room to operate in the forward 50.

Without Maguire the Saints might be able to be stretched in defence also, as Hudgton, SFisher, Gramm etc aren't enromously big.

Addison and Robbins would have to be the most likely smalls to be considered.

What makes you think Baird GVG?

[LostDoggy]

Baird wore #35 but was listed as #37 for Werribee Saturday.
He still doesn't have a great physique in terms of strength/height.
He made mistake and thought who is that #35? Then he got clobbered in a contest and came off in the 1st quarter where I thought he injured his ankle/leg. Came back on late in the second. Not sure if he played the rest of the game but wasn't named in the best.

I'm not sure he'll be promoted.

Are you sure #35 wasn't Steve Tiller? I know I get them confused all the time.
