Who's do you want out. Who come's in & Why?
Subi is at 170m long & 122m is very different from the shorter MCG 160m long & 139m wide. It favours longer kicking & high marking fwds. The climate is dryer and the ground is are harder.
Our running game failed last year and could fall again if we dont bring in a more traditional marking fwd.
For me Hurley is a lock. He will add to the growing confidence of Wilo, Gumby & Ryder. However if Monfries is physically ready, he should also play, he is inform and his style would suit the ground.
Many will put a case fwd for Mcveigh, perhaps the heart & soul of the club - his week in hospital would leave him in less than ideal shape for the game, especially on a bigger ground where endurance running is so important. Best leave him out for a week or two..
So into the side, Hurley & Monfries if ok.
Based on form I would say that either Winda's, Welsh, Houli or Lonergan should be dropped. Or perhaps the new boys, Melk or Colyer.
Colyer was good enough to hold his spot - he will play next week. Melk was also pretty good & showed exellent poise & skill under pressure when it mattered.
Out of that bunch, sad to say Houli is probably the one that is most likely to lose his spot. not because he was bad -hls game was Ok, but not much more. Too many to hot to handle handballs & kicks over head of leading players. Defensively though he was pretty good I thought, sticking to his man, playing almost as well as Slatts.
Welsh's game was ok not too many faults really - as a vice captain he aint going anywhere. Lonergan was a bit better, although Lonergan did some good things at vital last night.
Winda's performance so far this year suggets to me that he still has the back problem. His impact is very minimal. I feel that he has a great future at our club but needs a spell in the two's.
So Hurley & Monfries to replace Houli & Windas
