huge achievement to debut in his first season after being injured for what feels like 90% of it
Prediction Changes vs. Carlton

All signs pointing to Ballantyne getting another contract...did absolutely nothing last week to warrant selection this week.
Not suprised that Matera looked significantly better at the Gold Coast, you know with actually playing in the forward 50 and all.

So surprised at this. Ballas was rubbish for 3 quarters and did some junktime stuff. Wow two goals. Keep him in.
Matera is getting more of the ball, but look where he gets it! In the back half practically. Thought having Tabs/Cox/Mccarthy we would put him more in the 50.
Nope, Ross wants defensive effort. Ugh
freo for life

So we won't play Bennell because we want to build him up over so many games , but we chuck in a bloke who's been constantly injured all year. If they want to see what someone offers how about giving Strnadica a bloody go!
Don't get me wrong best of luck to Switta but i would of loved to seen one of the youngsters who have earn't it to play instead.

Switta! Happy to see Duman and Nyhuis back too. Definitely don't mind these changes, I was expecting something more conservative. Prefer Matera to Ballas although neither have been much chop this year
My memory is a bit vague and I was at the game. Didn’t Matera do that side-on snap kick (instead of a regulation set-shot) when about 45-47 metres out and unsurprisingly fell about 20 metres short. One of the dumbest things I’ve seen. That would have to annoy the crap out of the coaching staff.
Welcome Swita 
And welcome back Nyhuis!
And welcome back Nyhuis!
Ridiculous that Matera was dropped before Ballas. Reckon Ballas is in for a 1-2 yr contract and will start round 1 next year as best 22 once again. If I was Matera I'd be getting pretty pissed at Ross' inability to give him the role he's actually good at. Dropping Crowden after one meh game is also a bit odd. Really don't like this shuffling of youngsters.
Hope Switta shows a bit. We are very, very desperate for some quality smalls.

Certainly brings the integrity at selection, u play ur way in and out catch phrase into question. But im curious to see what Switta he brings.
Maybe its the best time to take a look at him before the season is over. Do you take him to Geelong to debut??? The Collingwood game will probabley be a send off game for MJ, Pearce etc. Give him a go at home and see how he travels I say.
2014
you know he was 2014 All Australian right?

Wilson and Ryan seem to get a bit more attacking freedom with a lockdown defender behind them, so hopefully Nyhuis provides that.
Last week was very disappointing with the easy number of goals that were picked up of the ground in the Eagles forward 50 and practically walked into the goals (eg like the Cripps one straight after half time, and even Vardy got one crumbing).

Excuse the intrusion and wish quick recovery for Brayshaw. Is Ballantine playing. ?

Yes, I think he is. Beggars belief that he hasn't played more games this year.
I think Nyhuis is currently best 22 and agree he should have had more games. I hope he does well for the last 3 games of the year.
Easy
It's funny how everyone is desperate to get small forwards on their lists but no one hardly ever talks about the types of defenders needed to combat them
