To me it doesn't matter... you need to back in the other players who aren't in the best 22. Eg like Close, cos you need to believe in all your other players who aren't playing that can do a job when asked to do so... and reward themCould it be a case this week of not wanting to bring in too many inexperienced players, especially up forward?
We have Holmes on debut, Evans will be playing his second match and Clark just game #24
Unless they wanted to go with say Jenkins, other options to come in up forward aren't experienced players, so maybe they just thought that the safer option was to stick with an experienced option up forward
Charlie is probably done I think. Whether it’s right or wrong I don’t know, but if he is not getting a game in a team that is missing both Danger and Menengola then he is way, way down the pecking order and unlikely to see much senior action.Poor Charlie. Not sure how Dalhaus managed to stay in.
We've bought 2 midfielders into the team, there was always going to be at least 1 midfielder making wayDon’t agree re Constable. We already have Miers and Evans as small forwards. We could easily have dropped Dahlhaus and retained Constable. Dumb selection decision.
Hi Brad.Brad Close says Hello
I agree he should be dropped. But we picked him last year and got somewhere in making the GF. Not the end of the world.Surely there is someone better than Dalhaus - Geelong are going nowhere picking blokes like him
I can remember Gregson ( post injury when he was no good whatsoever ) Scott gave him about 8 games in a row - and they were all shockers
Scott picking Dallhaus this week - what an absolute joke - and if the Cats get beat ( which is deadset 50-50 ) then Dallhaus will be the 1st dropped - but this week he should have been dropped
Miers?When was the last time a debutant played for us and cemented a spot in the team? We seem to have so many young guys in the system who aren't good enough to hold a spot. I hope Evans and Holmes change that.

Once it was announced that Duncan was in line to return, Constable was always shaping up as the most likely out unless there was an unknown injury
If Dahlhaus was also omitted then surely it would have been to bring a forward into the side
- Close held his spot for 8 games last year until Ablett returnedWhen was the last time a debutant played for us and cemented a spot in the team? We seem to have so many young guys in the system who aren't good enough to hold a spot. I hope Evans and Holmes change that.
I'm not making the assertion we have too many small forwards. Miers is in a patch of poor form and Evans is playing game 2.Don’t agree re Constable. We already have Miers and Evans as small forwards. We could easily have dropped Dahlhaus and retained Constable. Dumb selection decision.

Reckon Close is breathing down Dahlhaus’s neck. Constable was gone when Duncan was back. 55% game time not enough.Not necessarily. Who says that because you bring a mid in you need to omit another mid? If you have a player woefully out of form and you have already two small forwards named then you can bring in another type - could even be a second ruck if you want!

Don’t think we’ve had a late change yet
Think that would be the case tomorrow
In Close, out someone “sore”
Could be just the angle but he doesn’t look as small as he was in that very loose Geelong guernsey when drafted
Yeah Miers feels like the last 'success' for our new players.Miers
Henry
Could be an argument to say Kolo

Agree. And I reckon had Rohan not been suspended they might have pulled the trigger on it.Putting aside Constable’s non selection, Close should be in front of Dahlhaus atm.
