May I ask why you've dropped our best forward who had 1 bad game in which he still managed 2 goals and Bruce who played well on the weekend.
You've given us a ruckman and a backman and got rid of a midfielder and a forward, why?
Its because he has no idea at all Dez,
IN: Jamar, Cheney, Bell
OUT: Petterd, Bennel, Jones
Robertson for obvious reasons.
Bruce because he is long overdue for a run at Casey. Terrible user of the footy.
And I have us a ruckman, yes, but Stef Martin can now move to the forward line to replace Robbo.
I wouldn't be dropping Bruce, as wasteful as he can be, he's a cool head and pretty vital in terms of his utility.What obvious reasons? He had ONE I repeat ONE bad game and in that bad game he still managed 2.2. Anybody who wants him dropped is off their rocker.
Bruce is not a terrible user of the footy, yes at times he really butchers his kicks but by hand he is very reliable. Played pretty well on the weekend and didn't butcher anything that I saw. However if we are dropping players because according to you they are "terrible users of the footy" we wouldn't have a side.
So far you've given no reasons to support why Bruce and Robertson should be dropped.
Bruce's disposal effiecency before the game on the weekend was at 78% and he is one of our best senior midfielders and has leadership which we don't want to lose with a young side. And Robbo may not have done something brilliant but I only saw him make one mistake. And he is probably our best fwd if miller keeps dishing the ball off.
Out: Possibly Jamie Bennell
In: Kyle Cheney (he was so unluck to be dropped after a quite brilliant game t be honest)

As for Robbo, 2 goals he may have had kicked, but Newton was dropped after that Adelaide game for missed opportunities (0.3 behinds, one week after kicking 2.4 after Richmond); most of us didn't bat an eyelid with Newton despite the big fella averaging 5 shots on goal a week.
Robbo is going at about 4 shots on goal a game, with similar stats re. disposals and marks. Notably with Robbo though, his forward pressure IMO isn't up to the standard I would hope for, 1.5 a game. Newton, for all his deficiencies, had 8 over his two games.
Now I don't necessarily think Newton deserves his spot back, but Robbo is by no means the only option we have and his spot shouldn't be safe.
His chest marking still shits me, he is so good with his hands but continually attempts to mark it on his chest, inviting good players like Morris and Brown to spoil it away. Come on Robbo, get the mits out.
While I'm here...
In: Jamar
Out: Petterd
Valenti also a chance to return for Jones IMO, I wouldn't agree with the move, but I can see it happening.
Daniel Hughes – 'Hughesy' was up-and-down a bit. He's a power player and he took some strong marks, but missed a few shots at goal and finished with 2.4.
Probably the reason he hasn't already been given a go this year, because otherwise he's getting promising reviews.Daniel Hughes – 'Hughesy' was really good early, but he kicked 1.3 in the first quarter.
Come 2011, probably neither.Is there room for Newton and Robbo in the same forward line?
