Geez aside from Brayshaw that bench could literally be anyone.

How exciting mate, so many possibilities!

Bowey and Brayshaw were not going to be outs, who would you replace them with?
Someone that doesn't fumble. Surely in all of Casey and Melbourne we can find two who don't fumble.

(feeling a bit like Napoleon trying to find virgins for his coronation)
 
Would have to assume Grundy is an out id say, they'd name him on the ground if they truly believed it was only the conditions that held him back last week, reckon Tomo plays also with Hibbo back to the VFL for a run.
 
Given the extended bench they have named,
Charlie Spargo, Bailey Laurie, Josh Schache, Adam Tomlinson

Chandler as sub.

Why Chandler sub mate? I think hes been pretty good since coming back in.

Also no Brayshaw? Hes a lock.

Chandler gets to be sub because he has been good. Spargo deserves a shot at redemption and Laurie deserves a run.

Brayshaw back to VFL where he can contemplate the meaning of a net positive contribution. Practice kicking the ball and handballing to the Red and Blue players.

Harsh but fair :tearsofjoy:

Bit late with this one mate Gus has been our best defensive mid by a long way for a weeks now.

Agreed. Drop Petracca instead.

Bloke still sucks with the pill, not sure he's kicked a goal since he's been playing as a mid and still hacks it on either side but he has been good hunting down the oppo when the balls in dispute
 
I still don’t get the naming of Schache in the extended squad.

If the match committee had faith in Schache at AFL level then there’s been several times earlier in the year when he should’ve played.

That would’ve either proved he had what it takes, or proved the opposite.

But when Schache was in form and there was a spot open, they didn’t play him.

Similar deal with Laurie.

Why would virtually untried players this year be expected to all of a sudden come into the team with finals just around the corner and contribute in a meaningful way?

It’s just weird selection to me. Even if they end up as emergencies on game day.

What's weird is picking a bloke purely based on the amount he's paid for a role he was clearly terrible at and not giving Schache a go to begin with
