No melt down clear they don't think Butch is ready and I am secretly hoping Dom isn't quite right and Newton gets a run.

Allrighty then...

Never even mind the forward line.

Loses two key defenders. Brings in 0 key defenders.

 

[FallingLiefs]

2 talls out for 1 medium defender. we're lucky Fletcher is also out.

sidenote* same with Hibberd.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lulz. Lose two talls, replace them with one tweener and two short mids. Playing Kane Mitchell who hasn't had a good game in over a month and bringing back Dom Cassisi's old arse apparently both considered more important to the side than picking at least one and preferably two of Clurey, Butcher or Shaw. I wonder what the Sportsbet odds are of Essendon getting an upset win.

Next week: Out - Schulz, Hombsch, Lobbe, In - Neade, Hitchcock, S. Gray. Let's really get that running game going!

IN: no tall forwards

This has to be my one gripe with Ken - he's stubborn when it comes to picking talls for some reason.

Anyway, surely, SURELY Tom Clurey comes in as a late change.

 

[PepeSilvia]

WHAT

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Very nervous about this game now. I've got no doubt they'll bring Bellchambers back in for his yearly best game of the season against us.

That means we'll be facing 198cm Carlisle, 201cm Daniher & 202cm Bellchambers with 193cm Hombsch, 193cm Clurey & 188cm Jonas. Pittard, Broady & (you'd assume) O'Shea will have to be at their chopping off best on Saturday.

Me too

This is the first time this season I felt 2 in a row could be on the cards

 

[pafc88]

We will get flogged. Can't have two tall backs out and bring in smalls??

 

[FallingLiefs]

soo we would line up as

Carlisle - Hombsch
Daniher - Jonas
Ambrose - O'Shea

Hooker - Schulz
Hurley - Westhoff

it's not terrible in the defensive end but the trouble is up forward without hoff. they'd probably switch Hurley on to Schulz when hoff is in the ruck so Hooker can sit in front and mark everything in his way to put us out of it.

 

[Adz2332]

Clurey must MUST play!

 

[AdamMarrett]

No SANFL duty, so returning to his home state for a few days is not difficult to believe at all.

I wasn't aware the Maggies had a bye this week until after I posted that.Makes sense there I spose.

 

[Kickpuncher]

No Clurey?

Yah killin' me Kern, yah killin' me.

 

[Stewies Power]

There's been a lot of peculiar changes in recent weeks, starting to lose a little bit of faith in the selection panel to be honest. How Mitchell is still getting a game is beyond me. He better be sub again. Nfi why Clurey isn't in as well. Just bizarre.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Why does Logan get chucked into this depth player business and not Cassisi?

This non existant pressure that Mitchell applies by running around like a headless chook has foolen no one but the coaches.

 

[GaZmAn_21]

Nothing wrong with the changes. Would liked Clurey in and Mitchell out though. O'Shea, Jonas and Hombsch have done the job together before. They will have to for at least 2 weeks. Westhoff can be thrown back there if we are in trouble. Need Carlile to do what he can to get back asap.

 

[Junk]

DEM PRIMUS FEELZ.

 

[RossFC]

What the hell is this!

 

[BornPort]

The selection panel has been making some odd decisions lately. Losing the plot.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

[JohnHinckleyJr]

That's chaos we need another tall forward kennny to many bombs going to tall defender's would have been big red's year if fit.
O'shiz ok Youngey Great Dom come on Kenny think of the future

I think I just saw your comment on the PAFC facebook hahahha

 

[SilenceOz]

Young possibly moved to defence?

 

[Forzaport]

That was unexpected.
