Round 2 - Tigers vs. Blues - March 27th

[Ricochet]

I'm guessing that would be Griffiths if it did happen

Yep, you'd think so.
Any of McDonough, Lloyd or Edwards could come in.

If we're taking out Griffiths, I can't imagine us putting Az in.  ???

BUt why would you take out a kpp because its wet only to replace them with another kpp

Tipping the Tiges to win but with no confidence

Even if McDonough comes in as a late change the fact that he was omitted in the first place is enough for me to trade him out - to a player with much better JS.

He's not really a KPP though, he's a shorter forward that can play a lead-up role. But his defensive/tackling skills are also quite good so he'd probably be a better inclusion than Griffo in the wet.

Yeh exactly he's a lead up fwd, who don't benefit from it being wet. If a team is replacing a key fwd because its wet, it'd be with a small fwd or extra midfielder because there will be more stoppages and the game will take more taxing on the midfielders than normal.

[Toga]

Yeah what I'm saying though is you get the best of both worlds with someone like Az IMO - he is still a really good marking player but is also much better at ground level & tackling than someone taller like Griffiths. He's kind of an inbetweener in that sense.

Can't think of where else to post it so I'll post this here...

I'm thinking of setting the polls to lock at the start of the game (so set this one to lock at 7:45, for example) so that we get a better idea of how many actually tipped each team before the bounce, rather than people answering the poll with 5 minutes left in the game... Thoughts?

[Jroo]

Good idea LH.

[Ricochet]

Yep like it

Matthew Kreuzer and Matthew Watson will be late withdrawals tonight.
Buckley and Rowe in.

Welp... after that you can't actually set a time to lock it (you can set a number of days but that's not that helpful) so I'll just have to do my best to remember to lock it when the game starts. I'll be at the game tonight though so that won't be happening!
