No Changes i think.
Dempster played a great game on Johnson and will be needed if Murphy plays forward.
Eddy is a tagging half forward - not a role baker plays will be needed for a Harbrow or Gilbee type.
Will come down to match ups and the only one i could see from left field is that IF they thought we were too tall down back or weather Blake out and either Geary or Baker in.

I thought Dempster played shithouse, he made some really bad mistakes in the first quarter, along in the last, he basically gave the handpass straight to a geelong player > shot on goal... from memory it was only a behind, but that crap cost's you games. Maybe it wasn't obvious at the ground, but it showed on tv?older saint wrote:No Changes i think.

He really turned the ball over a fair few times... meh... I'll go watch the reply again, and write down the times.

Off the cuff, the critical match up is Harbrow. We need someone who can stifle his run and pressure him into error. The man for that job is Eddy. He has a big motor, is probably the quickest of he, Bakes, Dempster and Geary and so seems the likely man for mine.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

I've been thinking about Baker for a couple of days and agree with those who reckon he'll play this week...as he won't be brought in cold turkey for a Grand Final...he has to play this week and show some form. Playing against the Western Bulldogs helps his cause too as we can cover him (if it turns out mid game he is lacking in match conditioning) if we are 6 goals in front
I don't know who the unlucky bugger will be to make way for him though.

In Baker
Out: Dempster or Eddy...
Bit of a dilema... Eddy playes in the forward half, he can run all day, tackle and chase, plays a roll similar to McQualter.
Dempster been playing as a backman of late, and probably makes sense for him to come out for Baker. Thing is Dempster was quite good against Stevie J... hard to drop him on form.

I'd keep Eddy for the forward line.
armo, steven and dempster as emergencies (if it pours then perhaps armo or steven in for eddy or blake)

There is no way Geary returns, Dempster and Baker offer more experience, and Eddy is faster, has more endurance, is a better small fwd and is a better tackler.
Dempster has played the last 13 games of the year. We all know that RL loves and trusts Dempster, and that Dempster is versatile and is one of the fittest at the club.
He did a good job stats wise of limiting SJ last game.
I don't see him getting dropped.

Eddy will not be dropped, besides his great tackling and kamikaze attack on the ball, he also gives us a great hit up option as a high half forward. He is deceptively quick and has got a good pair of hands. Where I think he has improved a lot is his kicking, he hits a lot more targets and does kick it long. If Bakes is to come in, then Dempster is the only one that can be excluded. It will come down to match ups
Hmm, I was thinking along these lines as well Bergholt, that we seemed to tall in defence.bergholt wrote:the backline is too tall.
dawson has hall, so dempster or blake need to go to even up the side. i'd be surprised if blake went, so dempster should go and be replaced by baker or geary.
IN: Baker
OUT: Dempster
Then I read a little grab in the paper today that Rougheads shoulders have pulled up fine after playing in the VFL, that made me think that Rocket might have a surprise selection for Saturday night.
Is it entirely possible that he might play Hudson/Minson in the ruck, and select Roughead (who looks likely up forward) alongside Barry Hall?
