I am all in on Tippa as sub.

Are we tanking? It feels like we're tanking.

Looks like it

 

[MightyDon]

Tsatas very stiff not to be picked imo
Team reeks of Brad trying to sneak into finals while neglecting long term development

And fail or succeed on a finals tilt this is essington of the last decade, if we were to make finals I’d much rather it be on the back of young talent that might just be part of a successful future

 

[bennyg12]

After beating the Crows I walked away thinking we could push for top 4 FM I was wrong..our season will finish with a 4 in it

What change would you make to indicate otherwise

We’ll see Saturday night

We shall, maybe a wager ?

Wager with?

 

[ghostdog]

I would have liked to see Alwyn or Tex playing to give us a bit more pace and pressure. I think not including Baldwin is a mistake as well, given the height and marking power we lose with Ridley out.

So at least;
Ridley out, Baldwin in.
Snelling out, Tex/ADJ in.

 

[bennyg12]

Logan McDonald doesn't have a match up...leading goalkicker of the round

 

[silk]

On the plus side, we've apparently signed Mason's twin brother, Nathan.

Now we have 2

[TheGrizz]

Not a massive fan of the changes.

Scott starting to develop a stink that he had at Norf with refusing to blood youngsters despite good form at VFL level and poor form in the seniors.

I can only hope this is a kitchen sink attempt to win and keep in touch with finals, of we lose we probably don't make it and I would hope we throw a lot more you a chance to show their wares.

 

[BomberManU]

Stale feel to the team. Need something different, like a debut or return of Davey/Tippa.

 

[jdstorm]

Think that’s about as good a team as Scott could put together.

Injuries to key players and a lack of depth is just killing everything.

I’m all for trying the young guys but there’s no suggestion they will be good.

Baldwin a bit stiff but that’s about it.

[andleanback]

What about Franklin and Amartey?

I’d say laverde / bzt on Franklin / mcdonald. They don’t have all 3 of McDonald / Franklin / amartey in the forward line much at the same time. I’d say it’s like cox spends some time in defense ( I hope)

Yeh we can do that. What are we doing, closest to pin
