INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

Re: INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

Franklin is on another plane to everyone else at the moment. He's 6 ft 5, runs like the wind, has cat-like recovery when it hits the deck and can now clunk them in a marking contest. None of Hall, Goodes (in his current state) or Richards (if he drifts forward) possess all of these tools. We have to back Lake, Hargy and Morris in to do the job, and more importantly, we have to back our midfielders to do the job they did not do on Friday night.

Or for the last 8 weeks?

According to Eade today, there will be one or two changes, depending on the match ups with the Swans.

Hinted that Hall, Goodes, O'Keefe and possibly Richards could be a concern so you would hope that they bring in a tall defender.

Should bring a smile to Ernie's dial.

If Sydney leave Richards in the backline we will be playing 1 short.

Honestly I would prefer we play Everitt, was just using Wight as the example.

Re: INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

If thats the case i feel for Ray, and its looking more likely that he's played his last match.

I wouldve brought Ward in for Higgins as well coz he is obviously not match fit.

Re: INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

I was just about to post that Tiller is in for Ray. I have also been told that Wight will be coming in. My guess would be at the expense of Higgins who may not come up.

Um yeah, not exactly inspiring. I understand why Farren would be pissed. Wonder if he'll turn out for Willy this week.

He's not a listed emergency so it would cost us good money for a pointless ruse.

Re: INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

Ray was twice as good against Hawthorn as Tiller was in his last 3-4 matches this season (and that's saying something). Has the match commitee forgotten how shocking Tiller was against Sydney and North late in the season?

Ray's shocker at least involved him getting a lot of the ball and trying to be constructive for the team - Tiller's 3-4 shockers in a row were all less than 10 possession specials. And at 191 cms, I don't see how he will add all that much 'height' to our backline. On the plus side he is a very strong tackler, which we were desperately lacking last week.

Looks like Ray is now lost to the club. I for one will be disappointed if this transpires as expected. We are now painfully short of running power in our midfield and it will be yet another weakness we need to address in the off-season.

Re: INs and Outs for Semi v Swans

As bad as Ray was last week and as disappointing as he's been - he's a far better option than Tiller who I don't think is even close to being up to playing AFL football.

Disappointing an uninspired. Would rather see Callan Ward give us a bit of enthusiasm and dare I say it (about an 18y.o) - toughness at the ball!
