Was thinking only change would be Glass but don't know who replaces him. So no change.
4C goals to 3qtr time is perfection?No change.
You don't mess with perfection
4C goals to 3qtr time is perfection?
Me too. Looking forward to it, more so now after the win.Heading down for this one. Draft picks, shmaft picks. I want to see us win and win well.
Clarko said if Birch gets through a full game today, he's available for selection v Freo. I'm pumped.If he gets through the VFL game today you would have to think he will play this game. Welcome back Birchall!

Poppy needs to be managed anyway. Needs a rest.Birchall has played a half in both VFL games. Expect him to play around 70-80% game-time today. Minchington is also edging closer to selection.
Agree in parts. He did some good things, did some utterly horrific things. I don't mind playing him though, he goes in hard and can be swung forward and back. He had 13% efficiency last night, those are things that can lose you a game. Double edged sword really.Glass stays. Last night wasn't his best but we have looked a much better side since he has been in. You are going to get up and down performances with young players and by supporting and backing them in they are going to start to believe the belong and hopefully, performance will reflect that.
Cast your mind back to Hardwick being re-modelled as a defender, it took time and mistakes and didn't happen over night, yet now he is now one of the first picked every week.
Having watched Glass at Box Hill, he has good size, speed and kicks it well (yes I saw the clanger last night), he just needs time and exposure.
Think Tadgh Kennelly (who I actually played against mulitple times), could get a kick in the 2's in the SFL which was an even lower standard than the NEAFL and turns into a 200 gamer and premiership player. And Connor is miles in front of where he was at at the same age.
Supporters need to have patience.
