Holman definitely needs to come out he's been terribly out of form post bye.I’m hoping for 5 direct player changes to the team. 2 forced, 3 unforced. Then maybe some position changes for a few others. Anything less is a farce.
Here are some options:
1. Graham out, Collins in. Graham could have been worse, but Collins is always better.
2. Weller out, Atkins/Sharpe in. Sharpe got more of the ball in the VFL, but Atkins is a better kick (a high percentage of GA and score involvements) = less bombs, more bullets, more goals! Will fill the role of Weller while he recovers. (Hopefully a few weeks off does Weller good). Luko could move up the ground as well if we would rather move the magnets rather than bring in a similar player from the twos.
3. Swallow out, Ainsworth in. He’s had several weeks in a row of good form. Tore it up on the weekend. Deserves a recall to replace our captain as a forward/mid and bring some energy.
4. Day/Burgess out, Corbett in. Another deserving recall. No idea why he was out from one bad game. We need him his sticky mitts and aerial aerobics to take some pressure off King and help our ‘bomb and hope’ strategy… One of Burgess or Day stays to ruck chop-out. Smith needs all the help he can get when he takes on Goldy (wouldn’t even dream of debuting Moyle for ruck battle)
5. The fifth change is based on how we move the magnets around.
— Bowes played up the ground in the last quarter, leaving the door open for Farrah to return to the backline and leave Bowes on the interchange or taking Swallow’s place in the mids.
— Someone like Townsend could be a like-for-like swap with Holman, or offer some enforcing instead of Sexton, Rankine or Flanders. Could offer on field leadership and toughness too. I’m mindful of having too slow a forward line, so Sexton or Rankine might have to stay (if not both) for their speed and X factor.
— McPherson could come in as the sub instead of Fiorini. Fiorini could also stay sub or take Swallow’s spot in the mids or interchange. Brodie is a similar player to Swallow and could be an option. However, no more than one of these players should be in the main team to keep our mids balanced.
There’s a bunch of changes (which could include position swaps or swapping players and the medical sub around). I won’t be holding my breath, but let’s see if we can inject some spark for a game that the club’s declining stocks hang on!
Deservedly soNorth favourites with the bookies
We just need to get through this week unscathed since the draw opens up for the following 5 games...........
