In: Lefau, Vlaustin, Brown & Prestia
Out: Jonty, Ralphship, Gibcus & Broad
Broad will not get dropped. He may at some stage be MANAGED, however he’ll retire possibly even mid year with his dignity in tact. Same goes for Prestia.

Hopper played as a tagger for first time in his career and thought he beat walsh yes walsh got the footy but was far less damaging

Hopper was best on

The media are clueless

You may be right about the tagging him but Walsh normally gets 34 meaningless possessions so are you saying Hopper kept him to 30 meaningless possessions?
 
Will Dimma's men put the que in the rack against us like they did West Coast on the weekend?

Gives us supporters false hope when you think you've played well. :tearsofjoy:
 
Gibcus will not be dropped, and nor should he be. Needs confidence and is slowly getting it. He looked ordinary in the pre season but has done some little things here and there every game. Will only get better and is our biggest weapon in defence with the highest ceiling. People need to be realistic, he hasn't played in 2 years.

Vlastuin surely back in.


Outs: Faull, Ralphsmith
Ins: Vlastuin, Prestia

I'd give Gray, Trezise and Green one more game before they are on notice. They did enough to warrant a 2nd chance I thought but they are the 3 next in line when we get some players back/need rotations.

Gray and Trezise can be dropped but Steely has to play every game this year IMO. It's bloody hard to produce a consistent 4 quarter performance in the position he plays, but when he's near the ball things happen.

We are going to get eaten alive against Dimma's new toys next week
make sure to bring the lube
This is our challenge this year, not go get lubed. We were 18th in the league for pressure and tackling last year, we can't be that this year. We need Mansell, Campbell, MRJ and Green around the edges giving the midfielders a chop out chasing GC's quick mids. McAuliffe might need some midfield time rather than wing, but however we do it, we need to be more accountable. Lefau at least has it, pity about Faull because he has it.

Can't let these games blow out early in the season so we can get a bit of self-respect back. North did it against good teams for about half a season but couldn't keep it up. We have to do similarly.
 
Can't see us making many changes at all.

Reckon it will be:

Out: Faull(susp), Tresize
In: Lefau , Prestia if fit
 
Watched the game again this morning, and came away with the feeling that our intensity from our premiership dynasty had returned.

We cracked in really hard in the second half and swarmed all over the Blues. I thought Roos, Taranto, Lynch, Short, Ralphsmith and Trezise were massive in their defensive intent and willingness to cover the ground. I wouldn’t be selling Ralphsmith short, when I say he had a great second half. I accept his kicking is faulty, but he runs some miles and one a number of 50-50 contests.

I don’t think there will be many changes to the team. Yze will want to back this group of players in and any changes will happen after the Gold Coast game, if we get spanked.

Prestia and Vlastuin will return via the VFL side and it will be explained in terms of conditioning e.g “they missed a large chunk of preseason and need to get game time via the VFL. The only change I can see us making is Lefau in for the suspended Faull.
