Well Mansell has been there 5 minutes and going okay. Martyn was given a game, but Ross and Collier Dawkins have been knocking on the door for so long and completely dominated the VFL last week. How come they have to prove themselves yet others get given a reasonably easy run at it. That is reward for effort.Odd to drop someone who is performing as expected for someone to be rewarded.
I'd say 2 will.So the emergencies sit out the VFL game?

When you beat a side by 89pts why change?Well Mansell has been there 5 minutes and going okay.

Gawn will win the taps no matter what, but Nank has the fitness to go with Gawn. When he rests Pickett will ruck, which by last weeks little cameo was pretty interesting. CCJ will not win tap outs against Gawn either.Obviously they don't think Coleman-Jones is ready, as I can't think of any other possible reason you'd not play him. I hate the idea of so much burden falling on Nankervis especially with his recent injury history because lose him and we really are stuffed. Also have always hated seeing Reiwoldt, Lynch or Astbury relief rucking in the middle, they never look convincing and they always have this look of an injury waiting to happen (and boy the reaction if that did happen). And Pickett the new Grigg? Well it might have worked massacring the Saints, but I doubt that stunt is going to work two weeks in a row against Gawn and Jackson.
Anyhow I hope we get away with Nankervis flying solo tonight and again obviously they simply don't think Coleman-Jones is ready. But games like this and even though I wasn't Soldo's greatest fan, really make me miss the peace of mind that the Nankervis/Soldo combination gave us. The sooner we get a second ruckman into the side the happier I will be.
So what. Nobody deserved to get dropped, but it is called revolving your young players to keep them in the frame. Pretty soon with Prestia back, Ross and RCD will have less opportunity. I doubt they will be all that happy playing VFL when they would get games in just about every midfield in the league bar the Dogs. As I said earlier, still early in the season so plenty of time but young players want to play at the top level.When you beat a side by 89pts why change?
Balta will take 2nd ruck duty’s instead of Pickett i would sayHope Pickett has his jumping legs on tonight - got a feeling his competition in the ruck tonight is going to be a touch more challenging than it was a week ago
Their doing what they should be doing.Performing and keeping the pressure on the senior lineup.So what.

I think it’s more the position that they play. We like to keep a certain balance on the field. Therefore, it’s usually the smalls (defenders/forwards) that get into our side quicker like Rioli and Mansell etc. because the players they’re replacing are usually not elite or considered mainstays.Well Mansell has been there 5 minutes and going okay.

hope we looseI hope we don't approach this game like we did the swans match a few weeks ago because I think the demons will be up and about tonight, we need to be on our toes and ready for them.
Nope!hope we loose
7:25 pmWhen's the game
Went 150m+Brilliant goal by Pickett off one step on the half forward line against the Saints, another scoring option.
He was a up against a lemon we're taking the piss if we think he has any hope against gawnHope Pickett has his jumping legs on tonight - got a feeling his competition in the ruck tonight is going to be a touch more challenging than it was a week ago
