OUT:
Goodes, Cordy, Hunter, Jong

IN: Hamling, Macrae, Webb, Grant

Tempted to give Bontempelli a week or two off since he seems really hampered at the moment.
 
Out:
Goodes (inj)
Biggs (vfl level)
Cordy (duh)
Hunter (soft)
Jong (needs to get some touch)

In:
Redpath
Macrae
Webb
Hrovat
Grant
Agree with this. Would be happy with Hamling instead of redpath and honey instead of hrovat but either way much stronger than todays team
 
Reminder that Jong won't be dropped. If he didn't get dropped for this match, the MC are only going to assume he can recover.
 
Out: old bootstudder
In: new bootstudder

Lost track of the amount of times we slipped over. Just really unprofessional by the club...again.
Agree with this, frustrating that we cannot get our footwear right

How's Campbell been in the reserves? I'm well out of touch with what's been going on unfortunately.
 
Out: Goodes (injured)
In: Macrae

Out: Jong
In: Grant

Out: Dale
In: Webb

Out: Boyd
In: Redpath

Maybe, not sure but worth considering

Out: Roughead (If and ONLY if he reinjured his shoulder falling over the goal umpire)
In: Campbell

If Roughead is fit he plays first ruck

Cordy plays second ruck this week.

Out: Stringer (Again ONLY if injured, but he looks like he's carrying a hammy to me. 37% disposal efficiency today kicking seemed a long way off and has for a few week)
In: Hrovat

If this happens Grant plays Stringers role and Hrovat plays Jongs
 
OUT: Cordy, Goodes, Hunter, Biggs Jong
IN: Honeychurch, Grant, Hamling, Hrovat, Macrae

Roughead moves to ruck, Hamling in for whoever moved to Roughy's backline role.

Honeychurch plays in the F50 to add pressure, Grant on the wing for pace through the middle in transition. Hrovat covers Hunter's role.

Cordy is flat out not up to it. Roughead can cover just as much ground, but also perform better in the ruck. Hunter was an absolute passenger today - Shirks the contest and will not run hard defensively. Cost us goals.

Jong is out if his hand is still injured. EDIT: Changed my mind, he's out. Macrae in for him.

Biggs was a liability today. I'd keep him in, but we MUST put our best 22 on the park.

GWS will play a very open game, the complete opposite of today. Pace and pressure are key to getting the chocolates.

Under no circumstances should Roughead play first ruck. Seriously why would we do that?

Yes he would do a better job than Cordy and Campbell, but at what cost?
Is Roughead going to be starting ruck in our side that pushes for a flag? No. Then he should be playing and developing in a position he will be needed in the future.

Some people are amazingly short sighted. Sacrifice now for benefit later.
 
I love Jong, but I don't know why he has been played the last two weeks. I saw in person how swollen his hand was this week. We're not doing him any favours by playing him while it's in that state.
 
In: Webb, Hrovat, Honeychurch, Macrae.

I don't care who goes out.
 
OUT

Goodes

Webb

Minson (Campbell/Redpath if Minson is suspended)
Grant

Yes, yes, yes and yes. You notice that the bottom 4 are PROVEN performers. Webb and Macrae were dropped after a kneejerk reaction from 1 poor game(after many good games), whilst the top 4 you listed haven't even had 1 bloody good game IN TOTAL this season. We needed this loss for Bevo and match selection to pull their heads in. We need to put OUR BEST TEAM ON THE PADDOCK each week if we want to win, and that doesn't matter WHO WERE FACING.

Also in the very first contest of the day you could see Jongy hand still in pain, WHY THE F#CK IS HE STILL PLAYING with 1 arm, ahead of a fully fit and ready Macrae???
