not saying that's what will happen, I'm saying that's what I think should happen. Le Cras and Rosa, should never have been selected and Seaby shouldn't have been a late withdrawl. Sampi and Hansen should have played and Kerr and Embley are automatic selections.

So, based on last weeks games you would not have played Rosa or LeCras? Who would have played instead?

Why don't we just make 22 changes.

I think the 5 inclusions are in our best 22, and the remaining 5 are not. I'm not making changes as a knee-jerk reaction, I just feel that those 5 players are all vital to our success come finals time, and 3 of them should have been in the side tonight, which I have been saying all week. It's not like I'm just saying we sould make 5 changes because we lost, it's because I feel it will improve us as a side.

My changes for last week were deleted, but Sampi and Hansen were 2 that I would have brought in. I said that Rosa and Le Cras were not finals hardened and you can't expect them to produce the goods when the heat is on. Playing a lackluster Richmond side is a lot easier then playing a Sydney side come finals.

OUT: Rosa, LeCras, B Jones.

If Chick is suspended, B Jones should stay in.

Last year he hit the post in the GF.

This year he spoilt the ball backwards? :confused:

Talk about bad luck.

Unlucky Banners but you may be replaced next week.
 
We missed Hansen and Kerr last night in a huge way. Embers would be nice to have back in the side too.

I could not understand why Lynch was in the ruck, why Glass has no help, and why Woosha did not drop players back into their 50. Though it was a good hard close game, Worsfold was terrible in this game.

The concerning thing for me, Hansen was available for selection....

Regardless of many think of Hansen, he does straighten up the side for us...he was sorely missed, and Seaby?? Wtf??
 
FOR me I would go like this;

OUTS; Rosa, Le Cras, Staker and Chick ( If suspended )
INS ; Kerr, Embley, Hansen and Seaby.

Staker and Finals don't go together he is the worst finals player we have on our list.
Rosa and Le Cras were shocking tonight.
 
Out: Le Cras, Rosa and Chick (If suspended)
In: Hansen, Kerr, Embley and Seaby
I don't know who else to drop for Seaby though, perhaps we would be better off not playing Seaby against Dogs if they win because we will need as much pace as possible to match them.
 
am i the only one who thinks ro jones needs to be banished? why does he keep getting picked it is dumbfounding!!!!

Rojo was very good tonight, dunno what u guys have against him. Le Cras and Rosa definately shouldn't have played, anyone can see they won't win you finals games. Hansen and Sampi should have played tonight and definately should come back in along with Kerr and Embley. We also need Seaby in the side to allow Lynch to remain FF. B. Jones was good tonight also, dunno why he should be dropped. Will Chick definately miss? I thought Selwood was shocking tonight.

In - Kerr, Embley, Hansen, Sampi, Seaby
Out - Rosa, Le Cras, Banfield, Chick, Selwood

i agree ro jo may have had a good game last nite but 1 or 2 in 20 isn"t good enough. selwood rarely has a shocker.

I think that's about right.

We'll need the extra ruck against Collingwood (who I expect to beat the Bulldogs). Fraser has carved us a new one in both games this season.

The key against Collingwood will be getting our defensive match-ups right.

Glass on Rocca. Hunter on Tarrant. Selwood on Didak. Graham on whichever 3rd tall floats through.

My biggest query is on who gets Buckley when he goes forward.
 
I havn't heard much about hurn in the last few weeks how is he playing?

Well we don't have to worry about Fraser or Buckley nest week. We need to get set to counter the Bulldogs instead !

Yes - makes things tricky.

If Chick misses, it will hurt us. He could take Johnson or Robbins

I know a lot of people are bagging Woosha for leaving Seaby out but i think he tried to play the game with a short forward line structure to combat Sydneys fast breaks from defence. Worth a try i suppose but in the end it didn't quite work



As for next week

Seaby & Hansen should be inclusion as height can put pressure on the Doggies defence which can be a bit suspect at times.

If fit, Kerr and Embley would also be automatic inclusions so that's means 4 changes (not ideal)

Le Cras and Rosa are obvious exclusions with B Jones and possibly Banfield (as much as i hate to say it) the unlucky ones to be left out
 
Looks like Sampi has thrown his hat in the ring, he kicked 3 goals for Souths and apparently played very well
 
Out: LeCras Rosa Staker Chick
In: Embley Kerr Hansen Seaby
 
Sampi will play, he has been ran off his feet for the past fortnight to get some fitness into him and should return

IN: Kerr Embley Seaby Sampi
OUT: Le Cras Graham Rosa Braun (inj)

Chick will get off and will play IMO if not then Braun has to play I guess.

Bit harsh of Graham, why would you drop him ?
