We can't mess around anymore giving everyone on the list a run, business end of the season and we have 2 big games before finals to get our best 22 sorted. I know he hasn't dropped anyone after 1 week in the 1s and it's tough to only play as a sub, but we have better players coming in for Pearce sorry. Roarke did some nice things, build on that experience and keep playing your ass off in the VFL, look to be best 22 next season.

IN: Roughy (ruck), T. Boyd, M. Boyd, Picken, Rat
Out: Pearce, Roarke, Campbell, Red, Grant (inj)

Jong can start sub, needs to lift and suits that role. Talia a possible out for round 23 if Roberts has a good VFL game.

Will Morris be ok?

Why does everyone have Smith out? Thought he showed enough in his debut game, considering how much the eagles were pumping it in.

Only had the 9 touches. We need to be picking our best side this week and shape our finals team, Smith just isn't near out best team with everyone fit.
 
I think Roarke stays in now with Morris likely out. Gets his 2nd game and a more suited one at Etihad. Strange that when asked who would come in for Campbell if he couldn't get up after his bad cork, he mentions Tom Boyd to come in at ruck and then maybe Will or Ayce. No mention of Roughy. Not sure if it was just a blank or what not but surely Roughy is the best fit against the mobile Goldy. Roughead played mostly ruck on Friday night too I believe.

I've slightly changed my ins / outs already haha.

In: M. Boyd, T. Boyd, Picken, Roughy, Rat
Out: Campbell, Morris, Pearce, Grant(inj), Red

I understand too if Jong gets dropped. I'd have him sub next week but wasn't good enough today and only ok since he came back in. Love the kid still though.

I think Roughy / Boyd is out best ruck /fwd combo. May need another tall back in Roberts to cover for Morris

This is my side for next week getting ready for week 1 of finals, it wouldn't surprise me if bevo has a very similar looking side

Morris Roughead wood
Boyd hamling murphy
JJ Wallis grant/hunter
Crameri bonti Dickson
Honeychurch Boyd stringer
Minson Dahl macrae
Jong Goodes Picken sub Daniel


Webb rat redpath Roberts and a couple of others could come in for team balance ect, but I think this side is "finals ready"

Reckon as we start gearing up to finals we'll remove the inexperienced players.
I reckon Caleb may have played his last game for the year, as have Smith, Pearce, Webb, Dale etc.

Picken, Roughy, Boyd, Boyd, Minson, Hrovat and Roberts in for me. Daniel, Smith, Pearce, Redpath, Campbell, Biggs, Talia/Hamling out.
 
Out: Grant (inj), Jong (spud), Smith (not ready), Pearce (don't rate him, waste of time), Campbell, Redpath, Biggs (too costly today)
In: Hrovat, Picken, Boyd, Honeychurch, Roughead, Boyd, Fletcher

This is my initial massive over-reaction post.

I'll calm down and try again later.
I agree with most of your suggested changes other than Biggs. While he was terrible today he has been very good for the past few weeks and probably deserves at least one more chance before being dropped.
 
Out: Stringer, Bont, Macrae, Wallis, Campbell, Daniel, Smith, Pearce, Grant
In: Roughy, Hrovat, Goodes, Minson, Webb, Picken, Honey, Toyd and Moyd (Roberts back for Brisbane game and finals)

Campbell, Grant and Morris are based on likelihood of missing due to injury

Campbell has been in huge form for the past month! He still hasn't played 50 games! I wouldn't cull him yet!

Got a bad corkie and couldn't run out the game. 6 day break against the most athletic ruckman in the game are the reasons why I think he will be out this week. Wouldn't be the worst idea to give him a week off either after a decent stint in the ones.
 
Bev indicated satisfaction with the fwd line so not sure Redpath drops out.

Given height of Norf (triple towers) mightn't be a bad game to pick Rough and Boyd while keeping Redpath. So Campbell (inj) and Morris (inj) out for Rough and Boyd. Probably look at Roberts in for one of Talia/Hamling?

Reckon this week will be the most interesting MC for a while. Bev has already signalled a 'handful' of changes.
 
Having not watched the vfl it's hard to say but if form permits I'd go.
In: Picken, Boyd, Roughead, Minson, Hrovat.
Out: Pearce, Jong, Morris (inj), Campbell (inj), Daniel.

Minson gets the big job on Goldy, Picken and Rat come in for tired young guys, Pearce unlucky but Smith is the future and Boyd needs to come back in.
If Morris comes up, Talia comes out for Roughy. If Grant doesn't come up Pearce or Jong stay in.
 
In: Hrovat, Boyd, Picken, Roughy, Fletcher

Out: Jong, Smith, Pearce, Campbell, Hamling

Could find an arguement to drop Biggs for Webb or Honey as well but I didn't see the VFL game. Going on reports Hrovat was best on so comes in first for Jong.
