ALM R14 v Brisbane Cant

[Ozhammer]

I'm fully assuming Doka will be RB

Chance to prove what he is capable of then, let’s hope he takes it.

I would rather we went down this path than messing about with 3 of the backline like we did on Sunday.

100%. square pegs in square holes.
Rather have 1 weak link than 3.
Up to him to take his chance

The old saying - "you don't weaken a strength to strengthen a weakness."

If Doka struggles first half or runs out of gas as he’s abit prone to doing, Hally can slot in there and Paull into CB and the backline would then be defensively stable enough.
I’m expecting a good win, hopefully see what barcellos has to offer too.

Generally takes a while, probably isn’t until next week.

Typical can hand it out in 24hrs then nothing for a week

Exactly and if they find that Storm didn't do anything to deserve a red card and 3 week ban he has missed a game for nothing. What a shambles of an organisation.

This is FA not APL.
Tribunal would sit once a week like any other association.
He will do 2 games you watch

Where there is an appeal with a reasonable chance to rescind they absolutely should reconvene. My feeling is they'll drop him down to 1 match that he will serve tonight. The bar to get it completely rescinded is 'issue a Direct Player Red Card to a Player when no card was warranted' we haven't got an argument that storm could not have received a yellow for his involvement. We do have an argument that the red and 3 matches was excessive which we can look to reduce.

Yeah, but there have been some red cards overturned where I think that line is certainly very questionable.

I would say that the only reason we'd be able to say there's no argument at all for a red is if we made the argument that storm didn't pull him down, but that they just happened to fall. There's a lot in the video we can't really see - it looks to me like he pulls him down with an arm high over the shoulder (but not a hand on the throat - though that's disputable).

Pulling somebody to ground in a confrontation certainly opens one up to a red card - that there should have been other reds given isn't a consideration.

Surely anything more than 1 week is a farce.

It is a problem, because having a player out for 1 vs 3 weeks could potentially affect our squad decisions, but oh well.

As for tonight - we should take this one, but I wouldn't necessarily say I was confident. Coming off a few big clashes against a team that, on paper, should be an 'easy win' - well, that's just prime for us to play less than peak. All too often we've played well against top teams - even through our dark years - and poorly against the lower teams.

We should win this - but anything can happen in 90 minutes.

Completely agree about the game. MJ seems the switched on type though and I'm hoping he's had this same conversation with the team

Di Pizio late addition to the match squad, must’ve sorted the situation with AGF.

 

[Hello Sailor]

I want to see more of Dipper in action

for me the best part of this is we'll likely see Di Pizio at 10 instead of Wilson, if Tappy needs a rest

Wilson at 10 with Nisbet at 8 is just a total waste coz Nisbet has to try and play both positions, atleast Di Pizio is actually a footballer

 

[Josho Howe]

I understand some may have that slip up feeling but l think this should be a good win at home in front of a big crowd hopefully. They've conceded 33 goals already which makes them really vulnerable defensively. Use our pace against an out of form backline (especially Aldred who has been terrible) and there will be reward.

Also, O'Shea is a massive loss for them. Gives us a big leg up to dominate in the middle of the park.

Hopefully we put this one away early and then give the new guys a bit of a run
