Changes V Melbourne

[Wind Power]

I'm glad Stewart gets a go. I always thought when he was playing prior our chances of winning we're improved due to his ability to play a few different roles.
Clurey coming in is another good in with Jako out, probably should of got a game against Brisbane instead of OShea. Hopefully he gets a good run at it and not dropped after only a couple of games. It will be interesting to see the role he plays for us.

I'm worried about Gray but once we selected him last week I think he deserves another game. Hopefully he picks up the pace of afl this week!

Matt White for me is a worry, last year he provided a lot of run and carry but this year he isn't the same IMO. Like others have said it looks like he might be carrying something. His greatest asset is his speed and he seems like he just can't run like he did last year, but that could be said about most of our team this season. So I'm hoping he returns to form and has a big game this week.

Broady coming back in is a no brainer it might allow Kracker to run through the mid field a bit more. Hopefully the week off has freshened him up. We need him back to his best along with Jasper firing so week can get the ball past the Melbourne's choke fest.

Ollie back in for his second week should better for the run and he seems to play well against Melbourne.

I was more hopefully of a win last week than this week so hopefully we can have a lift from our whole team.

At least we don't have to wait till 7 pm Sunday to know the result of this week. I hate those Sunday night games unless I'm able to go watch them live, which for me is very difficult to do!

Whatttt??
One tall too many??
Ssssshhhh!
Don't let the Butcher lovers hear that for Chris's sake
I mean, don't we have a whole thread devoted to us needing an extra tall for um er structa or somethin?

I agree it seems strange to say, but we do not seem to play well with the "extra"tall. It is a bit historic and this was certainly the case pre Hinkley. I used to go to games at Footy Park when we had that "extra tall" and always felt that Westhoff threw the team structure out. I am not saying Westy should be dropped, it's just that it does not seem to work. I have been a strong believer that Westy should be used in the back half and allowed to roam forward. Yes it means a few of our backs get pushed up or out, but so be it.
