Reid out for the Swans, Cunningham in, as sub.

Hrovat the sub for us.

Got to find something to do with him now that Sydney's 3rd tall forward is not playing! :D

Go_Dogs
02-05-2015, 01:10 PM
Would we have played Roberts if we knew Reid was out?

I'm not sure we would've, but given we're only playing one ruck and don't have Redpath in the side, we still seem more mobile than our round 1-3 team.

I'm not sure if makes a huge difference, but for balance Roberts should play forward where he probably hasn't spent a lot of time recently.

Goodes will be their 3rd tall in the forward line. Reid would have been up the other end.

Goodes will be their 3rd tall in the forward line. Reid would have been up the other end.

Oh, I was going on the selected line up which had him in the FP but perhaps he has been more used up back recently - is that what you're going off? Adam Goodes will still be a big test for Fletch if he comes into the starting forward line and spends significant time on the ground.

Twodogs

I think Roberts will spend a bit of time running with Goodes when Goodes isn't on the ball.

LostDoggy
02-05-2015, 01:39 PM
For the Swans having Reid out does shuffle their structure , the weather forecast has changed a bit too , a few rain showers expected during the first half and the possibility of some heavier showers later in the game .
I,m expecting to see Goodes play more on the wing in a roving role
The Final Team list has JJ on the bench , with Reid out there is a chance JJ will slot back in as a starter down back , Stevens on the bench and Roberts starting at HF

Unlucky not to get 2 interference frees already though, you know, the kind Will gets against him every week because he is stronger than his opponents.

Greystache
02-05-2015, 02:46 PM
Strange quarter, badly outplayed for the most part but far more effective going forward. This must be what it felt like to play us last year :D

Defenceholding up well, forward line killing it, but Cordy a huge concern.

Well done doggies to fight back and have a handy lead at quarter time

jeemak
02-05-2015, 02:47 PM
Smiths head is un breakable.

Will Parker go for that?

The difference in the strength of Pyke compared to Cordy is huge (six and a half years of extra development at elite sporting level helps the former). Just take a look at their physique's - particularly their legs. That's why Ayce is so easily pushed aside, his legs and core are still under developed.

kruder
02-05-2015, 02:48 PM

I must be watching a different game. Cordy looks like a boy playing against men.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
02-05-2015, 02:48 PM
Good to see we were not intimidated by the Swans. They tried to out physical us but it didn't bother us. The only concern is they are dominant at stoppages and winning clearances. We've certainly capitalised on their poor disposal. If the Swans tidy that up it will be interesting to see if we can still stay on top.

LostDoggy
02-05-2015, 02:49 PM
Smiths head is un breakable.

I think it was Parker who clocked him , most likely will come up Post Match review

Swans launched the fast start they wanted but they couldn't maintain it , we just started to work harder around the contest and we had the extra man with Rampe being switched as the extra player in front of Boyd Jnr

You'd think so, as why should his courage and hard head make a difference. But who knows with the AFL these days...

Umpires really worried about the scores obviously. Shocking 50m penalty

Umpires got the message from Gill at 1/4 time.

Cordy vs Pyke is looking like Gumby vs Schwarzenegger. As Jeemack wrote he lacks the leg/core strength to stay in the contest

Can we get by with a mix of Roughead and Boyd/Roberts in the ruck to sub Cordy at half time and bring on Hrovat?

Bulldog4life
02-05-2015, 03:28 PM
Well done boys to have the lead at half time. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Greystache
02-05-2015, 03:29 PM
I've been really pleased with how Crameri has handled the wet. I thought he'd be fumbly and ineffective but he's been a good contributor. Stevens hasn't and unfortunately has been the opposite. We need our few big bodies to lead the way.

1eyedog
02-05-2015, 03:31 PM
...we're up by 10 points, doing a fair job of it!!

That's not the point I was making. We're not handling the conditions, they're all over us and have had many more opportunities.
Yes we had a good lead early and all things considered we're doing a fair job in the wet holding them up.

Mantis
02-05-2015, 03:32 PM

Agree with those calls.. Crameri has been very effective.

Need more out of Stringer.. Very quiet for most part... Probably need to use M.Boyd through the middle too.

jeemak
02-05-2015, 03:34 PM
Stevens has had a funny game, in that he's shown some strength and good use, but any credit in the bank from it has been handed straight back over with his handling issues.

Great effort to have weathered the storm in the first portion of the game, take our opportunities and get a tight lead. One more goal would have been nice, but I'm pretty happy with how things have panned out.

Stevens is an outside mid - dalhaus and honeychurch are inside mids - work that out.

If we can bring Biggs into the side at some stage is there any reason why Webb couldnt play Stevens role?

Jeanette54

How good has Luke Dahlaus been, no harder working player in the team today.

Great stuff so far.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
02-05-2015, 03:37 PM
Need a big 3rd Qtr as i suspect we will tire worse than Sydney as the game wears on. Hrovat coming on at some stage will be intersting. If we are containing Sydneys forward 50's then id have Cordy make way and let Roughy, Roberts and Boyd share the ruck. If Sydney are getting on top getting it forward then maybe Stevens makes way for Hrovat.

Webby
02-05-2015, 03:38 PM
Come what may, this kind of effort swells me with pride. Honestly expected Sydney to school us up there in the wet.

jeemak
02-05-2015, 03:40 PM
I think Clay is likely to be the sub, if they decide to continue with Cordy.

The heavy conditions will be a bit too much for him to be playing a full game in.

Greystache
02-05-2015, 03:42 PM
Agree with those calls.. Crameri has been very effective.

Need more out of Stringer.. Very quiet for most part... Probably need to use M.Boyd through the middle too.

Yep he's going to be a key player in the midfield if we're to run out the 4 quarters.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

It was just through desperation after being more effective in the first quarter.

As the game wore on the Swans seemed to be a bit stronger and a bit more structured going forward and looked the more likely to score, and this accounts for them being able to hit the front.

However, we were able to match them for desperation and put enough pressure on them for one last push and it turned out we were able to hold on.

The rucks across the day from our perspective were ineffective, Roughead and Boyd shouldered the load after Cordy finished for the day. You could perhaps say that Pyke found it harder against the former two, though it was the second possession out where we managed to ensure we won the day.

That's one of the best finishes to a game I have seen in years. Amazing stuff with the DRS knowing it had been touched off the boot and desperately hoping that Wood had gotten a toe on it. There was so much noise when the decision went our way I'm suprised the place didn't fall down.

Wood must have jumped 2 metres in the air to get a toe on that one. Lucky both his parents were Olympic and Commonwealth Athletes.

That was just A-M-A-Z-I-N_G.

My fave player Picken was just superb. What I loved about that win was that we did not panic, we did not give away free kicks when it was in their forward line in crucial last quarter.

We looked composed (or as composed as you can me in those horrible conditions with the Swans great at the hard stuff, just like we are). A real team effort.

Bobby was a marvel. Dahl was magnificent, so was Wood and Cramers was stunning. Have we had a better kick for goal than TBoyd? (Good to see umpires paying him a few frees for a change).

Are we allowed to mention the "F" word now?

The lid is well & truly off.

But we just kept going and going! Time after time the boys just kept getting a hand in wow.

That's was a fantastic effort from our team. We really dig deep against one of the heavyweights of the competition. Thought Stringer, Murph, Talia, Jong, Bont, Crameri were very good.
