Out: Dale, almost invisible tonight, his output is diminishing every week
In: Schache or Lewis Young - Cordy tried against Phillips but we looked horrible when English went for a rest tonight. Dog help us if anything happens to English half way through a game. We don't need to jerk Cordy around. He's doing fine in defence and we'll need him there next week.

Out: Lachie Young - I'd be tempted to keep him in but we need someone accountable for the Suns playmakers, and that person is ...
In: Toby McLean
 
In: Toby McLean

Out: Lachie Young

Lachie Young may have appropriate physical attributes, but he currently seems to lack the self-confidence required at this level. He clearly struggled again tonight despite being part of a dominant team performance, to select him ahead of McLean again next week would be simply insulting to Toby.

Yeah this is the only change I would make. I know Mclean was dropped but deep down I'd like to think he was rested.
 
They showed Lachie Young’s running stats at one point and they were off the charts. Works hard, just needs to make it happen. Would keep.

I like Schache and Mclean but they don’t always scream for their spot, so they should wait. Don’t see an obvious out.

Bevo clearly loves Dale. My guess is he’s doing exactly what Bev asks him, regardless of whether it shows on TV or not.

Why the difference in standards for guys like McLean and Schache compared to Lachie Young. Not sure running long distances away from the ball automatically qualifies as working hard either. The boundary umpires probably covered a similar amount of ground tonight and had a similar impact our team's fortunes.

I’d keep him in for sure but Did you watch McLean last week? Was awful.
 
Out: Dale (omitted), Laitham (managed)
In: McLean, Le Young.

Suckling to wing/hb and Young up forward.

As we go into compressed fixtures, a Thursday game next week is a big advantage.
 
Out: Dale
In: Schache

Our great clearances masked a lopsided forwatdline. Bruce needs support and Schache is basically Dale with more height and harder running.

Out: Williams
In: McLean

Williams has been good this year but dropped off the last 2. Some of his disposal tonight was awful, good time for a break. We had too many defenders in tonight, side is more balanced with McLean.

Williams has been outstanding this season. And if you just want to look at last night, he outperformed wood, crozier, young, Cordy, Keath and JJ in defence.

One of the first picked.

Williams is finally repaying our faith fronk. Gee he’s impressive. Is he the best kick in the side? Not far off it IMO his boot is absolutely lethal
 
He seems to be doing a lot of work in our press holding up that last kick on the switch making them go back and kick over the mark.

Is that enough to keep him in the side, probably for Bev
Slowing down a sides ball movement is key for how we play, if we can't with the way we press we get burnt out the back i.e Carlton
At least give him one more to see if he has improved or not
 
Out: Vandermeer and Richards (Both rested)
In: Trengove (to chop out English against Witts) and Hayes

Having Crozier, Suckling, Hunter, Young, Weightman et al come into the side in the last two weeks will be invaluable with another short turn around.
Could take one or the other out but not both at the same time. Would rob us of pace which we dont have an abundance of, may alternate resting them.
Vanders rested McLean to replace
 
Extra hard to come up with the changes week to week with the short turnarounds. In a normal year most of the weight of selection will go to form. But this year, work load and player management is huge. Could be as high as 30 to 40% of the selection equation. Macrae had the head wobbles and looked rooted last qtr last night and Libba would deserve special management consideration.

Players who might otherwise be a fair way off selection are likely to get games to help preserve our better players. This year is such a roll of the dice on many fronts and possibly contributing to our jeckyll and hyde performances but i'm kinda enjoying the roller coaster.

As for selections and changes this week..nfi

All our wins are off short breaks. When we have had the pre-season, covid or last weeks long rest we lose?
