[walterhobbs]

Borlase? You high?

He didnt play too bad, i just think keane is better

 

[George Kramer]

Could ask you the same thing.

Of all the players to drop, he was a lot better than many

 

[Moonwatcher]

Borlase? You high?

No it's "Hi Borlase, how are you?"

 

[dogs105]

Out: gollant/Burgess in: Walker
Out: Murphy/Berry in Soligo
Out: Smith in: Nankervis

Keane maybe in.

 

[dogs105]

What was the Butts injury?

 

[George Kramer]

I think I’m in bizarro world when there’s suggestions of dropping Borlase and keeping Burgess after that game.

Borlase can pinch hit in the ruck.

 

[latinoheat]

Thought Borlase was ok (although he’s slow)

Out : Murphy
In : nank

Out :Burgess
In : Tex

Sub: smith

 

[Carn The Texan]

Bring in Soligo for Sholl, McHenry for Murphy, Tex for Gollant and Keane for Borlase. No knock on Borlase I just think Keane should have been in tonight.

Edit: Nank as Sub too

 

[The Unforgiven]

If my Facebook feed is anything to go by, the most important changes you guys could hope for would be a change of umpires. Were they really that bad?

T'will be a good game. First time since 2018 watching the Cats vs. Crows at AO. I don't expect a win, but I'm expecting an amazing atmosphere.

Yep forgot about Nank, we need to start investing games into him, he’s shown he can play at the level.

Who would we have preferred deep in defence that last qtr, Murphy or Nank?

Happy to make Smith sub as penance for his stupidity.

 

[dylan123]

Out Murphy, Burgess
In Soligo Tex

Gollant and Borlase second ruck.

Burgess is garbage

Whilst I don't disagree on that watch that Burgess was pretty awful, we may as well have rocked up with one less player for the nothingness Gollant provided.

Sub: Laird

Like the Ins, Laird as sub won't happen but I agree he should come out for team balance. He and Crouch shouldn't be playing in the same team.

Crouch is currently in much better form so Laird should be an out and let our plethora of youngsters have more midfield minutes. Its what an aggressive coach would look to do but of course we will take the AFC Conservative Approach.

 

[Crowstar]

They always make minimal changes so it'll be

Gollant and Butts for Keane and Tex.
Soligo will play and Murphy will be sub.
Im hoping

 

[George Kramer]

Oh I agree Gollant was s**t but he’s at least showed he can do ok in our side. I didn’t see a footballer at all in Burgess, unless he’s better in defence.

There’s a reason he couldn’t get games for the Gold Coast when they were s**t.

For a lot around here that's controversial but I've thought this for a long time.

We cannot handicap our midfield, stifle the development of our best draft picks and halt the rebuild by playing Laird and Crouch in the same team. Pick one, and clearly today Crouch was better

Fumbled a lot early but cleaned that up as the game went on, ironically after it started raining???????
