Changes vs Geelong (Brown & Scharenberg in, Tooves & Frost out, team in OP)

Lets agree to disagree there. But just so we're clear.. I think Blair has been decent this year (mainly first half) but picking on a young first year guy in Crisp as a comparison doesn't work for me. Blair's been around a long time now. I would've hoped for better output from him now he's in his "peak".

Blair has bern ok this year overall, esp like quite a few better earlier.
His tackles etc areterrific, his rat cunning same. But i just feel hes getting past hos optimum and suspect others will passhim buy when we take the next steps. But hes got heaps out of himself

Not off but I don't think he is an answer as midfield stayer going forward. In fact, how many poor ball users can we carry in one side? Him touching it 20+ times and turning it over is not good for anyone. He does have size but he isn't clean enough when ball is in dispute to be a full time mid/centre square player.

Perhaps trying him off half back is a better option because at the moment he soaks up too many midfield minutes without enough quality with his numbers.

What games have you been watching? Crisp is generally a beautiful field kick and one of our best extractors at centre bounces. Maybe he has tired in the last few weeks - understandable!

Blair is too small to impact as a midfielder in today's game, isn't very quick, doesn't win enough ball, has tackles constantly broken and can't kick over a jam jar.

Toovey and Frost are out, when was the last time those guys where left out of the side when fit?

Have these guys actually showed any improvement at all in the last 10 games?
