Ban the guest passes
Yeah if there are any more setbacks I agree, we're cooked.

We need everything to fall into place from here on in - no more injuries to key players
Lambert, Astbury, Ellis, Short all back by the bye
Nankervis, Jack, Ross a couple of weeks after that.

Pickett and Rance the icing on the cake near seasons end
i personally think we should park rancey in the shed for the rest of the year.

I would like to see Menadue play on HBF.
He played in the three wins, rounds, 8, 9,10.
Higgins played well in defence a few weeks ago too.
Try to restrict the Crows across their half-orward line
Cannot allow Betts open space.

Higgo butler townso all under pressure maybe Rioli too
I think a few of the smalls are under pressure. I think there is a bit of consistency there why we have underperformed in a few games including defeats

I would drop Butler as does not do enough in terms of marking, providing leads and link play. I think his contribution is one of the reasons our half forward line falls down. Tackling by itself is not enough!!! He needs to find the ball like Miers to become more effective as a forward.

I would bring in Broad, Balta can go ruck/forward, Soldo out as hasn't shown enough around the ground, bring in Cool who apparently went okay on the weekend for reward and to see what he can provide and see what other set-ups can offer.

I would drop Baker as another short guy that does not kick goals when forward and is too limited causing combination problems between the forward line and midfield. He needs to learn to do more with the ball, develop a few more tricks and get better goal sense and goal kicking sense to improve his craft. Too many of these short guys disrupt our ball transition by moving the ball far too short and turning the ball over with a lot of insecure handball error and other short disposals that simply are low percentage for forward output and defensive effectiveness. He needs to improve his marking and presence like Miers as well as goal potency to be far more relevant

I would bring in Bolton who has a few more tricks and has played well apparently.

I would keep Townsend for the moment. I want to see a slightly different mix against reasonable opposition and see how we can improve as a team in terms of combinations and synergies. Geelong are a force so my decisions are more about individual players and how they can make our team better and improve our development to make us more competitive in the short and long terms!! I would shift Lynch out to half forward to me as he gets pidgeon holed in forward fifty deep far too often!!!

Graham can have a run on Sloane again and even Towner could get a run in the guts as well as Caddy as the Adelaide midfield are not overly quick in terms of matchups.

I would like to leave Stack in defence for now as one of the competition elite defenders so he can consolidate on his strengths and incredible skill set. Moving Stack into the middle makes us too vulnerable down back defensively I think as seen with Geelong.

The other player is Ellis. If he is ready to come in who goes out? I am inclined to try a few things. We still have too many smalls. Lambert is still out so probably look to keep Higgins and maybe drop Rioili for a week with Bolton in that way they is plenty of competition for spots. I would put Naish on the flanks half forward-half Back as a change up with Ellis wing just for a different look. Actually I might change that around, drop Higgins and keep Rioli for better balance and see how the goes. Higgins can have a better crack at it in the twos and see what happens cause Towner and Caddy can go in the guts and Castagna, Boltons and Rioili are still available in forward roles with Graham, Cotchin and Dusty also able to rest there

i could count how many kicks Balta has got over the last 2 week on one hand..
Still don't think he'll be dropped though. If he's back to playing second ruck he'll improve. Not sure KPD is his best spot at this stage.

Being moved all over the ground wouldn't exactly be helping either.
