Predicted changes

In: Neitz
Out: Whelan

Don't see the point of making any other changes now. This is the side (bar Whelan) we are taking to the finals

With Read and Brown performing well for Sandy though Godfrey and Sylvia's positions are under threat.
 
What is the prognosis with Wheels? Is it just a minor 1-2 week strain or a serious tear (season ending)? Hopefully it is just a minor tear and he will be right for finals but with his history it is not good. My changes are.
In: Neitz
Out: Whelan

brown should come in for whelan. i'd like to see smith in instead of miller seeing as he performed well again for sandy but that just wont happen... maybe miller for neitz. i know miller needs time before the finals but neitz for whelan is trading a running backman for your full forward. we lose speed.

holland needs to be dropped & delisted, he is not up to afl standard!!

Of course his skills arent up to standard but he was pivotal in preventing a loss to geelong. did you miss his smother in the pocket, and also him put his body on the line and should have got a free for head high contact in the square.

Holland killed Ottens yesterday when Ottens was up forward.

We need an accountable small defender to play on Matthew Bode (thank god Brett Burton aint playing)

Ward is in form but unaccountable
Bell is out of form (decent game on the weekend but still very confused) but more accountable
Chris Johnson is in form at Sandy but is more of a winger/running HB than an accountable back pocket
Nathan Brown is im the same boat as CJ
Wheatley is injured
Bizzell?
Warnock?
The last two i listed aren't exactly short but can play as a smaller defender if need be but I think Bode's pace and form would outdo both.

Your right in highlighting Bode as their most dangerous small forwars. With whelan out I'd be prepared to give the job to Bartram. Bell would be my 2nd choice. Is at least a good tackler and if he can grind him into the ground early on then footsteps may start running through his head.
 
I seriously dont have a clue what Neil Daniher is doing.....Nathan Brown is a top class footballer, Clint Bizzell is also quality, he just needs to give them a fair go
 
Read won't play again for us.

Neitz will come in for Wheels, Bate is still a week away from what I hear. Ward, Bell and Bartram will play as the smalls down back.

In: Neitz, Smith, Read

Out: Whelan, Godfrey, Sylvia

Read deserves another go ahead of Godfrey
Neitz has to come in, whelan has to go out
Sylvia is playing HFF flank and is offering very little, send him back to sandy to get some confidence, let Smith and Miller go head to head at CHF, the best player gets to stay for the finals
 
I think Adelaide's changes will be more important than our changes, to be honest.
McLeod, Hart, Hentschel, Burton, Riciutto, Bassett, Skipworth all handy for us no doubt.
 
Given the severity of their outs, we should have no excuse if we get rolled on Saturday right? Only one change should be made and that's Neita in for Whelan, Belly can move back, people forget how quick is and I think he could match up well on Bode...But then again he hasn't be too crash hot lately so maybe bring in Brown for Bell just to settle the backline and the loss of Wheels.

Chopper on Welsh
Dutchy on Perrie
Miller on Maybe Stevens?
Neita on Rutten

Also, with no Basset and McLeod I've got a feeling Flash, Byron, Brucey and Robbo will carve it up. But then again, you shouldn't underestimate a wounded animal...Anyone else feeling just a little confident?

That one is a victory for us.

Stevens would go back assuming he comes in and Bock would go forward. K-McGregor is also a chance to return. But if Melbourne can't beat us with our injuries and ****house form then you won't go very far in September. The only thing in our favour is the game is at Footy Park because apart from that things can't get any worse. Worst case scenario this weekend is that only one player on our list with AFL experience will not be playing in the league side but still in the reserves:thumbsd: EDIT:(And that would be Ivan Maric a veteran of less then 10 games)
