- North don't play tall, so big Rat and Aliir have things covered.

  • I'd like to know why Bergman had his worst game for years, injured? Out?
  • Easy target for the out is the late addition.
  • Minimal changes after a win, even one that shithouse.

I'd play Lai and Richards and rest Moraes and return little rat to the 2's.

  • Lord needs more time to settle, so no place for Visi unfortunately.
  • No way does Cochrane get dropped after kicking the checkside of the year.

North will come out firing after that loss, you know they will jump Port and Larkey will have 4 by quarter time.

Then it will be who is the least unfit and falls over the line.

Bergman played injured. Burst bursar in his knee v Hawks.
 
Wines issue is not like a soft tissue injury, either he is right to play or he isn't. I think Lord and Cochrane were both quiet so expect one of them to go out. DBJ usually takes a game or two after a break so he gets another chance. Atkins and Boak should be outs but I feel they will keep Boak in. If anything Boak should be sub, he has trouble running out a full game at a normal level these days.
 
I don’t think Boak has been as bad as people are saying here. His first 2 games were very good. Stat wise has dropped away a little bit but certainly not droppable on form.

I would give moraes a rest. I have loved what he has done so far but could possibly benefit from a game off. Richards is an automatic back in and Atkins will be last in first out. I would love to see what lai has to offer at afl level, even if it was as sub. Berry should come back in soon too, but wether that’s after one game in the sanfl or needs another I am not sure.
 
This is the week you rest any sore bodies, it’s a long season. North are terrible. Berry, Vis, Lai, Richards, Evans can come in.

Outs: Atkins, Moraes, Boak
Ins: Richards, Lorenz, Jackson

Nice and clean

Cochrane stays for now, mostly to give Berry another week to lock down some good form and build confidence.

Assuming Wines plays.

Mead stays in because there isn’t a better option but at least we’re getting to watch Lorenz and Jackson alongside him.

FWIW, I’d probably play Cochrane as sub.

I’m not really up on the SANFL but from what I’ve read on here Jackson hasn’t been settling the world on fire.

I’ve been more critical of him than most. While I don’t think he’s knocked the door down, I also don’t think he’s any less ready to play AFL than Moraes or Atkins. Same goes for Lorenz and previously Berry.
 
For the last few years I've had basically no interest in our matches under Hinkley against the cellar dwellers, except for Norf, who I've taken great pleasure in seeing us embarrass every time we play them. Hopefully this is yet another edition.
That opening few years of 1-10 head to head record against these wastes of space should be motivation enough to enjoy sinking in the boot in at every opportunity. To quote a very early senior coach of mine " They kicked us when we were down, now it's our turn".

Out: Moraes (Rested), Atkins (because he's Atkins)

In: Richards, Lai

Sub: Boak

Sinn on wing with Lai at HB

Assuming Wines plays that is. If not, Boak has to play in the centre and I'd have Lorenz as sub.
 
From memory i think Wines misses the following game from when he has the heart rhythm episodes and therefore

Out: Ratkins Wines Moraes (should be rested or sub)
In: Richards Berry

Rozee probably goes back to mid to cover Wines
