Lloyds Replacement

[Tambu]

Well, John's got the call up (not particularly surprising). I had him in front of Bradley as the better bonafide forward. Bradley's been performing well in the VFL (as has John's), just Bradley's the less experienced forward.

I'm a little concerned about the bombers pace with Winders and Stanton out. My only worry is that they've got too tall and lost pace.

We really had no choice. Winderlich and Stanton injured, Dempsey injured. Jetta being disciplined. Houli would have been an option I guess, but Hislop deserved a game IMO.

We've still got Lovett, Davey, Dyson and Nash.

what flexibility having Ryder and Mal has given us, couldnt put fletch at full forward with only Kepler down back

We may have lost a fraction of pace but it is not like we have put in a heap of talls.
Hislop for Stanton
Dyson for Winderlich
Johns for Lloyd
Hille for Bolton
Rama for Campo

The only spot we have gone taller is Hille in place of Bolts and i would suggest we may get mor out of Hille than we do from Bolton.

It is at the Dome anyway, pace is less important there than at the G. I have not seen Hislop in action but from all reports he is on the slow side of the speedsters.
