Okay....maybe we won't thump them by THAT much :p

Out:
Bell

In:
Watts

A more common sense replacement would probably be Cheney or Bell but I want to see Watts play basically.... I'm just that selfish.
 
OUT: Bell, Martin, ?
IN: Bennell (if fit)/Cheney, Newton, Johnson

Send Stef back to the VFL and play him as a forward to get him into it. Give Juice a shot and work out whether we're going to keep using him or not.

Unfortunately with Stef out we need a second ruck so Johnson comes in.
 
After watching the VFL match, Bartram, Newton, Miller and Watts will all be in contention for a game this week.

As for those to be omitted, Bell is the obvious one, although I thought he did a reasonable job until that injury occurred. Sure, he had one bad turnover which caused a goal, but other than that he was pretty solid.

Cant see too many changes this week for you guys. One thing though please dont play Watts, last thing you need to do to the kid is play him up forward in a game were the conditions are going to be blowy and not get too many good balls coming his way, will damage his confidence.

I have to say Dees fans, you should be very proud of what your team is delivering. I've been to the last two Dees games and have been very impressed with both the effort and in areas the surprising improvement in skills. Dean should be congratulated for the way he has kept the teams spirits up, taken a no nonsense approach and redeveloped some of his senior players(Davey for example). Without doubt you are heading in the right direction, however please don’t win two more games(I'm sure there will be Dees fans who disagree), one more win is fine but then put the cue back in the rack so to speak, getting that extra draft pick at the pointy end of the draft will help long term.

I think 2010 will be a really good year to be a Dees fan.
 
Out: Ponting
In: Someone who will give Hilfy a fair go.

yeah spot on.

Stayed up to watch all of the last day....couldn't believe Hilfy didn't get a bowl at all in that last session. Was he injured???? Lapse by Punter I reckon.

All it needed was a good yorker and it would have been all ocer rover. Even Jonno couldn't get the thing on the stumps.

Last straw for me was when they bought out the Physio ,the 12 th man with a spare jumper, gloves and a drink.
 
Punter has never been a great captain tactically. We need to realise this.

Jetta played a good game so I wouldn't want to see him go. Is Maric out injured for a while?

Stefan Martin was okay. If we bring in Watts, Miller or Newton it'd be unlikely that he gets much time up forward though.
 
Out: Martin, Bell
In: Newton, Bartram

Martin out, get back to some form, Juice to play forward. Could he go ruck to take on Mumford? oh bartram to get a tagging job on yablett. Dunn to take bartel and jones to take chappy. the bald duo:D

Out: Bell and possibly Martin
In: Cheney better user of the ball then Batram, Johnson possibly for Martin.

I would be happy if it is just Cheney for Bell.
 
@ half back flank....will we have any spots in our midfield left for attacking players?

I'd tag Ablett and Chapman and do a more head-to-head of Bartel vs McLean.
