2 changes:-

 

[carlton_99]

I love the way Acres plays, has played many games great games also under physical duress and still preformed at exceptional levels, but this season he is struggling big time both through injury restrictions and poor form, hopefully he goes well…

Another crappy decision by the Match Selection Committee once again, embarrassing while continuing while a blatant lack of integrity…

The VFL playing on Sunday would not have helped. 4 day break is tough. But personally I would have sent Acres for surgery now and start getting him ready for 26'

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I'm fine with the changes. Flynn Young is injured. Acres received his punishment for poor form. 2 weeks out. He gets to play his heart out for Doc now. Selection integrity doesn't mean dropping someone, never to be heard from again.

Acres is back so we can perfectly recreate Weiters to Ollie to Doc to Acres to seal the game

 

[myblueroan]

Will Day

OF course.

 

[TENACIOUS]

18 touches & DNP, good enough to get a recall. we’ve got high standards

 

[Stamos]

18 touches & DNP, good enough to get a recall. we’ve got high standards

Well rested vs kids on a 4 day break…

 

[JJBagger]

18 touches & DNP, good enough to get a recall. we’ve got high standards

As opposed to putting in a kid off a 4 day break. Great development that would be

 

[Korn]

We are such a ridiculously tall and slow side.
It's just an awful level of list management.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good.

Reckon we’re a sneaky chance.

 

[myblueroan]

Good.

Reckon we’re a sneaky chance.

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

Will Day

OF course.

Yep
The stats say they have a much better win record when he plays
So of course after him being out for most of the season
Has to come back in for our game
Takes away any tiny sliver of hope we have for winning the game
Was going to be nigh on impossible already

It was either Acres or bring in a kid off a 4 day break and a 100.point flogging

 

[kreuze_missile]

18 touches & DNP, good enough to get a recall. we’ve got high standards

One effective kick in there at most, and 100% certainty that one was out on the full.

Bring him straight in.

 

[RAPPA]

This is the first of 3 shots to screw with our opponent’s finals aspirations. Not expecting a win by any stretch but it’d be good to see the delicious salty tears of douche Sam Mitchell

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

It was either Acres or bring in a kid off a 4 day break and a 100.point flogging

Understandably the 4 day break is not ideal for player selection MJ, but perhaps if we rested another player who has been worthy of selection, instead of Acres we should have planned things differently, but again we lack the foresight while continuing the ongoing process of selecting injured/struggling favourites given games, rinse and repeat…
