Went to the game yesterday and despite a ~10 goal loss was impressed by a few things;-

Robey & Sharp look like good picks - plenty to work with here with these guys
Caddy looked good - wish he had kicked straighter..!!
2MP, Durham & Merrett all had solid games

With a couple of injuries (Calders & SEH) there could be mass changes this week. Possibly something like;-

OUT: Caldwell, SEH, Gresh, Farrow, Kondo, McKay
IN: Parish, Perkins, Setters, Johnson, May, Bryan

Team;-

Prior Read McGrath
Roberts Blaki Johnson
Langford Parish Duursma
Robey Caddy Perkins
Edwards May ADW

2MP Durham Merrett

Bench: Setters(mid) Sharp(Mid) Nguyen(sml.fwd) Cox(wing) Bryan (ruck)

it’s Scott so changes will be very self explanatory

Blackison > Bryan
Saad > Redman
Caldwell > Parish
Cox > May

Yep.

I would rather

Out: Caldwell, El-Hawli and McKay
In: Setterfield, Redman and Bryan

Blakistan to play back while McKay gets his head right. Bryan and Wright in the ruck. Setterfield into the midfield and Redman taking El-Hawlis spot.

In: Tsatas (32 possessions in the reserves), Johnson (26 Possessions in the reserves)

B: McGrath, McKay, Roberts

HF: Gresham, Wright, Langford
F: Edwards, Caddy, Nguyen
R: Blakiston, Durham, Merrett

Setterfield was better than both Tsatas and Johnson in the VFL game. Was clearly our beer for the day.
 
Theoretical - but I wouldn't mind these changes..

OUT: Caldwell, SEH, Farrow, Kondo, Prior, Gresham, McKay
IN: Parish, Redman, Johnson, May, Setters, Stringer, Lav

Blaki Reid McGrath
Redman Lav Roberts
Langford Parish Duursma
Robey Caddy ADW
Stringer May Edwards

2MP Durham Merrett

Bench: Setters Sharp Nguyen Johnson Cox

Just watch the package carve us up this week and Lav to take 10 intercept marks down back..!!
Right now I'd gladly swap McKay for Lav
 
In: Johnson, Setterfield, Bryan, May.

Out: SEH(inj), Caldwell( inj), Blakiston, Gresham.

B: McGrath, McKay, Roberts
HB: Farrow, Reid, Johnson
C: Duursma, Sharp, Day-Wicks
HF: Robey, Caddy, Edwards
F: Cox, May, Nguyen
R: Wright, Durham, Merrett
Int: Bryan, Kondogiannis, Langford, Prior, Setterfield.


I'm sure Parish comes straight back in and probably Perkins and Redman.
I'd like to see all three in the VFL.
Tsatas shouldn't have been dropped yesterday, so it will take Brad another month to bring him back in.

Lastly, I'd considered McMahon in or Blakiston down back for McKay (burn out).
 
Out Blakiston, McKay, El Hawli, Caldwell.
In Dowling, Sellers, Nyko, Johnson.

Early thoughts.

Bryan would need a good week on the track. Not sure he is ready for the step up just yet.

Tsatas did what he does in the VFL. Did not see any live action so cannot really make an informed comment on any defensive transition issues.

Perkins played well again. It is good he is building a solid run of VFL form. Probably needs to continue on with it. Interesting that it is the first time he has played 3 VFL games in a row baring practice games being included. He may be a bit of a lost cause but at least he is earning his spot if he comes back in.

Setterfield would be close. Personally, not totally comfortable if he ends up in the middle at the same time as Sharp. Very much like for like.

Johnson was good. Can we play all three young half backs at once right now?

Redman looked like he needs another run but may get a go for experience in the SEH spot.
 
B: Farrow Reid Redman
HB: Merrett Blackiston Roberts
C: Duursma Durham Day-Wicks
HF: Robey May Perkins
F: Edwards Caddy Nguyen
R: Wright Tsatas Sharp
Bench: McGrath, Langford, Caldwell, Cox and Kondo

In: Tsatas, Perkins, Redman and May
Out: El Hawli, Gresham, McKay and Prior
 
Might as well get Setterfield in for a few games before he breaks down again.

Perkins in for SEH maybe?

I would bring Setterfield in for Caldwell. Will need to manage having both him and Sharp at the same time as pure mids but maybe they can rotate through as half forwards.

The injuries suck because both McKay and Langford both need a rest or some VFL to find form but I don't think we can make a hundred changes.

Out: Caldwell and El-Hawli (injury) and McKay (manage)

In: Setterfield, May and Redman

McGrath Blakistan Farrow
Redman Reid Roberts
Duursma Sharp Day-Wicks
Merrett Caddy Langford
Nguyen May Edwards

Wright Durham Robey

Prior Gresham Cox Setterfield Kondo

Hes had a shocking start to the year.....mark him down for 7 goals next week in a Matt Taberner style performance
He’s playing through it tonight, whatever it is, but he’s definitely labouring. Could even get the double figures against us 🤣
 
Out: Caldwell, Cox, El Hawli, Gresham
In: Parish, May, Setterfield, Huss

Think Tsatas papers stamped unfortunately.
