Fun fact - brander played on the wing in the VFL yesterday.Thoughts on the sub selection.
I see zero purpose on having Riccardi as sub.
MdB seems to me like a more logical choice.
Riccardi should be playing VFL every week with Brander, and the two should be duplicating the structures being drilled into Hogan and HH.
At this point I’ve probably cued the punchline ‘What structures?’.
For me, this whole mid-fwd connection piece and the leading patterns of the fwds is a really strange one.
I find it hard to believe that Stevie J is completely clueless about fwd leading patterns.
I think the problem must lie with the forwards and mids themselves plus a failure to train mid-fwd connection. This might be McVeigh’s problem as much as Stevie Js.
Most likely it’s some ugly combination of all of the above.

I don’t think players are waiting for a replacement. History tells us that if it does happen it will be late in the year and they would know thatThe playing group has downed tools and are awaiting Leon’s replacement.
I’m not sure team selection is important or material until there is a change of HC.
The only exception might be someone like Briggs who must feel completely robbed of opportunity. Ironically though, he’ll miss out yet again as we finally play Preuss-Flynn.
There might be some players who are 50/50 with injury and might be happy to sit it out until the change.
Our VFL team would not have conceded this run of Q3 goals last night if they’d been on the field last night.

Finn belongs at this level and wasn't overawed at all. He should be given games until the bye at leastI unfortunately missed the game due to work .... how did Finn look?
Gday guys. I had the Giants in the 8 pre-season and haven't changed my opinion. Pretty tough draw so far. Toby back this week and 5 of the next 6 games at home in Syd or Canberra, with the away game v Adelaide. See how it looks after round 10.With a near quarter of the 2022 season done, the AFL ladder is worth a look as it is extremely bifurcated.
Assuming Geelong beat the Hawks tomorrow, we will be 3 wins and 30% behind the 7th placed team on the ladder.
Any team outside the top 7 is two wins or more back.
We’re already 0&3 against the top 7 teams, and if we lose to the Saints it will be 0&4.
The path to sneaking into 8th on the ladder looks much, much tougher in 2022 than 2021.
Tigers and Dogs will believe they can take 8th, so it will be exceptionally tough to crack 2022 finals.

EFAI fortunately missed the game due to work .... how did Finn look?
Like your thinking I would have Hill out the team and Peatling in. Wouldn’t mind seeing Fahey at some stage as well maybe for Kennedy or Whitfield if he misses due to soreness.Another game for the S#%^house coaches to lose and demotivate the players
My team not that it will happen
I would consider resting Haynes if r Whitfield but as the game is a must win I am all chips in
Need the small defenders with Hill, Gresham, Butler and Higgins all capable so wingers Ash and Kennedy to zone back at times
Flynn and Preuss to rotate ruck forward and target down the line and inside 50
Greene to play deep as a target at times
Taranto to play more forward his defensive running is atrocious and I hope the coaches are calling him out on it
Coniglio defensive on Steele
Perryman Taylor Haynes
Cumming Stein Whitfield
Ash Kelly Kennedy
Taranto HH Bruhn
Hill Hogan Greene
Preuss Green Coniglio
Idun Flynn Ward Callaghan
Medi-sub Peatling

And it's hard to blame them! Coach seems like a dead man walking at this point why would they listen to a coach that's not going to be there soon.I honestly don't know what to expect this week.
It's not a line-up problem. The players just don't seem to be taking it seriously as a team. If they were we would never have lost to Richmond.
We seem a bit directionless.
