Preview Changes vs WCE

[ferball]

It's a fair point, but the counterpoint is Dees have added a 2nd gamer and two debutants from the MSD against *.
I think after that Cats belting at Marvel, he's been reluctant to make the team composition too young ever since.
I would agree with you that Harvey, Whitlock and Blamires are really the only one's who performed well enough in the VFL. I guess you don't know if they are ready until you play them though.
Hopefully the compositon of the team trends towards the younger kids by year end after we grab some more wins.

I think every time I've counted we've had 8 players under 22. Some of them are turning 22 over winter.

Like Cooper Harvey in about a month.

Fitzgerald has been one of the form players in the VFL this season and received 10 coaches votes in his first game for Casey. Not comparable to any of our blokes who aren’t doing enough to bang the door down. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be making changes, I just don’t think we should be doing it for the sake of it

McCarthy, Duursma and Ginbey would be in their top 5-10 players. Ginbey is likely leading their B+F. I think losing to West Coast this weekend would be a far bigger indictment on the group than what happened vs Fremantle.

If we can win the next 3 games we get to 8-8. I'd say most supporters would have taken that at the start of the year.

Ginbey is a loss for sure.

But their midfield did a number on us last time. I’m just hoping we are switched on in the middle.

I personally liked ferball's description of Yeo as a troglodyte. It wouldn't have surprised me at all if Yeo's vision through the week was solely of LDU and all McQualter told him to do was to go out and bash him around the footy. It also won't surprise me if it happens again this week

yep.

Dunno if youse have ever seen this movie called Bone Tomahawk but I can imagine Yeo as one of the cave clan in that film.

What concerns me is that Clarko is hoping for a response. He can't even tell. Everyone's probs happy on the training track hence aging they picked themselves up. They'd actually have to feel down and shamed after last week to begin with. The media ban this week was rubbish.... protecting them instead of fronting up to the consequences

Yeah the word hope doing a bit of heavy lifting.
