Another disappointing fade out and a couple fresh injuries. What are everyone's changes?
For me Out: Keath, Bruce, Gardner, VDM
IN: Jones, Buss, JOD, West, Baker (Sub)

Get a bit lucky playing Richmond off a 5 day break, need all the luck we can get though... Hopefully Liam Jones is ready to go, wouldn't mind seeing Arty Jones again also as a pressure fwd. The ball was coming out far too easy in that second half.
 
Other than Jones the other changes would only be to see if some younger players can develop over the last few weeks such as BUSS and JOD, maybe Clarke or AJ.

VFL fixture is a Joke but we really don't help ourselves either

Out: Poulter, Bruce, Keath, VDM
In: Richards, Baker, A. Jones, L. Jones (West stays as Sub) ... If Jones is not fit, then Buss (preferred) or JOD

Cleary plays tall. Poulter has been OK, though for me Baker is ahead and it is time to have our best in.
 
Out: Keath, Bruce, Poulter, VDM
In: JOD, Khamis, Richards, Garcia

Despite all the canning of him on here, I thought Lobb's game was his most promising since he's been at the club (at least before he moved back). He took some contested marks (one not paid) and rucked well. I have a feeling he'll play a decent game next week.

If Liam Jones is fit, he plays. If not then Busslinger to debut alongside Gardner and O'Donnell. Cleary still looks physically underdone but I like the idea of him playing alongside Bussslinger as they have spent the whole year in the reserves together.

Love Duryea but don't think he plays well at the dome so I'd rest him.

Poulter shows promise but there were a few moments of hesitation yesterday. Would not be surprised if dropped. More speed needed with Baker on a wing.

Scott and Vandermeer. Love Scotty but he's a bit of a foot-soldier and doesn't have the ability to turn a game. Vandermeer just needs a year in the reserves to learn how to do the basics well. Neither of them can apply the forward pressure that Arthur Jones can.

Out: Bruce (inj), Keath (conc), Scott, Vandermeer, Poulter, Duryea

In: L.Jones/Busslinger, A.Jones, Baker, Richards, O'Donnell, Hannan (sub)

FB: Richards Gardner Busslinger/L.Jones

RUC: English Treloar Liberatore
INT: West, Daniel, Cleary, Williams
Sub: Hannan
 
Out: Bruce (inj), Keath (inj), Weightman (omit), Smith (omit) Duryea (omit)

In: L Jones, JOD, Richards, A Jones, Clarke

Time to get games into Buss, O’Donnell, Jones, Gallagher and Cleary so that we are prepared for 2024.

Leave Lobb at FF and play Naughton up the ground.

Ive loved Duryea but isn’t part of the 2024 plans.

No point in us making the SAME changes again.

Never to be seen again this year - Hannan, Duryea, McComb, Mclean
 
Out: Bruce, Keath, Gardner, Doc, VDM, Scott (sub), Poulter
In: LJ, JOD, Buss, Red, AJ, West, Baker

The backline is *ing attrocious, gut it completely and start again.

We need West & AJ inside 50 desperately for some pressure.

Absolutely zero chance this happens though lol, will be the bare minimum, again.

Please lose and not make finals 🤞

Don’t think you need to say please lose.

Contrary to many my opinion is we will lose to Tiggers, Hawks and Geelong
