I agree, but we don't know how Hirdy's body is holding up. I'm sure he would rather have a good crack on his last Anzac day than pull up sore after Saturday and possibly miss out. Just on a side note, Surely The Afl could have scheduled 2 games on Friday night so Essendon and Collingwood could play and have an extra day of recovery.
Read the discussion in context.
He does deserve his place in the team, he's our second best ruckman .The question mark was over his match fitness.
We need him in the side, but yes he does need match fitness.
Playing him at Bendigo this week doesn't make us a better side because we'll be without our second best ruckman for two games, not just one.
By the time he'd get back in the senior side (Round 6), there is every chance he could run himself into that sort of fitness by playing in the seniors anyway.
Interesting- how many minutes did Laycock play in the ruck against Carlton ?

It's not about form, it's fitness.
You can run a guy into fitness anywhere.
If we drop him, we shoot ourselves in the foot. We have an opportunity in the next two games to go up against two teams with weak ruck units and you want to drop our second best ruckman? We have an opportunity to take advantage, but you want us to go back to a level playing field?
That doesn't make sense to me.
And Ryder has just started to make a position his own, why would we change that?
Of course they have a weak ruck unit, they also have a weak defense. We didn't take advantage of that either, but we won't be dropping our forwards.
Both St Kilda and Collingwood can go tall forward.

So St Kilda don't normally play three tall forwards?
I know Gehrig is out, but it's very possible they could play Brooks forward or even debut Sweeny.
Collingwood didn't play Rocca, Cloke and Toovey (who's a similar height to Mal) forward on the weekend? And have Fraser who pushes forward?

Re: chages 4 saints match
I'm still not sure about bringing Johnson in. He would have to be 100% otherwise he would struggle to come up for ANZAC day. The other thing is that Dyson didn't do much wrong, so he should get another match to try and prove himself

Re: chages 4 saints match
Dyson at the same time did not do a whole lot Saturday either and there is a history of younger players being dropped from losing sides.
Dyson would probably only play 50% of the game again, Johnson would be expected to have a much bigger impacted on the game in the same amount of time on the ground

Re: chages 4 saints match
Now why we would you want to slow the team down. Dyson is worth perservering with. etta needs a spell, and bring in someone else with pace.

Re: chages 4 saints match
mmm, i dunno. IMO Johnson + Campo > Jetta + Dyson and Johns > Laycock
just my opinion though.
