Bedford and Baker need to be in the team for the next two games so a decision can be made on them. I am not a big fan of bringing a player in for one game then dropping them (unless they are most obviously not AFL level).

Don't bring Harmes back. Bring Hore in as he is now listed as available (or just leave him to get ready for next season) and if Sparrow is good to go then he should come back as well (This could be for shopping him around) and/or Tom McDonald (who should play the season out).

So drop Neal Bullen and Preuss.

I have no idea if any of that makes sense. But swapping out 7 odd players each round sure doesn't

I tend to agree the seven changes isn't ideal but 3 were forced (could argue Jones would have been dropped anyway). Feel a bit sorry for Baker as in it's hard coming in to a team that looked so disorganised. What position role was he meant to be playing. Anyway I don't really care what is done this week we had two really good chances and blew it. hard to see them turning it around now after two lossess like that. One maybe but two nope.

Decision should be made now. They are most obviously not AFL level.

You guys can still easily make it.
Easily make it? No. There’s nothing easy about it. GWS will defeat us just through pure talent. Just watch us play a midfield focused inside game with nothing out wide where your elite runners will have acres of grass to work with. Watch us kick out to the boundary and have all our players on one side of the ground whilst you go across to the switch and comprehensively burn us with run.

If it was dry against Fremantle we’d have lost by 7 goals.

I disagree. You’re main problem against Freo was overusing it in slippery conditions. We now have a stack of players injured and a day less break. Our season is done I reckon.
