disagree on all points. wont get into an argument but all I can say is oh god noI think Stack might be in danger of being dropped this week, had a real stinker and didnt lay 1 tackle. I hope we dont drop him but hasnt really put in a strong case for him to stay this week either.
Chol has to give way for Soldo, we have a real chance to work over Hickey this week who isnt as quick as people like you to believe. If we hammer his body all game he will be spent IMO. Chol love the guy but has really struggled lately, we could bring Balta back but Id rather the 2 big fellas to work Hickey and Allen over this week.
Bolton had a stinker which is 2 weeks in a row now, not getting enough of the ball or making enough tackles to justify his place and that sucks because when he is on he could cause West Coast some serious headaches.
Baker had a poor game against Melbourne but 22 possessions against the Blues, probably an easy target to drop because of his size and thats probably a bit un fair on the bloke but we are up against a body hardened West Coast team this week and if he plays like he did against Melbourne it could actually cost us dearly.
Short - wont get dropped, not even sure why people even are thinking about it, maybe he suffers a little bit from the "Baker syndrome" too.
I wouldnt be making any more than 3 changes this week, you're walking a fine line when you make too many changes IMO
On reflection I'd go with:
Ins: Martin, Cotchin & Soldo
Outs: Chol, Bolton & Baker.
Lucky to survive another week but has had an outstanding season : Sydney Stack (lift your game young gun the business end of the season is here)
