Love this side.
Good to see all RCD, Martyn, Dow, CCJ, Chol, Ross and Miller debuting, and even Jason Castagna getting a gig over Ralphy, next season might be different.
Should be fun to watch with no pressure. Off to the rubberddub, sorry Melb. lads and lass's.

[Rubber Hips]

Good to see Marlion back…

 

[_RT_]

I don’t see the point in dropping Nigel or MJ

Nigel injured Rioli Jr omitted

 

[Roachy8]

Except for MRJ and Hugo...

 

[and_so_on]

I know they probably won’t start there together but our starting midfield on the team sheet have played 24 games (I could be a game or two off) all up.
Actually excited to see how we go this week could be a nice glimpse of the future.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Bizarrely I like the look of this side. Nothing to lose but potentially lots to gain if we click and play well. One thing is for sure, we don't tank !!

 

[Muddiemoose]

Looking forward to seeing Martyn again, his first game was underwhelming and I’m sure he’s eager to show us what he’s got

Miller’s first game as well is extremely exciting

 

[Thrasher97]

Melting that MJ dropped and Cantstandya gets a chance to spud it up.
Can't he retire??

 

[Ancient Tiger]

I love it. The side is just so young. They will try to win but ultimately will be outgunned. Tanking without really tanking. Brilliant.

 

[tigers12]

I’m pissed right off mrj dropped for that hack castagna mrj has averaged a goal a game and castagna can go weeks without kicking one who picks these teams seriously

 

[banzai]

9 changes, and Cumberland isnt even an emergency? Must be injured

Yeah he's the one I most wanted to see play. Surely means Naish is gone at the end of the season, may get put onto rookie list.

 

[AstuteTiger]

We tanking.
Smart move I like it

Shhhh it's a secret I think we all know that. Pic 7 here we come.

 

[Karp3_dm]

Naish and garthwaite done by the looks of it

 

[Rubber Hips]

Imagine the melts if we WIN ……

 

[Lsta062]

They couldn’t debut Cumberland? May as well with our changes. Oh well, happy that Miller is debuting and RCD is back. I like us keeping 2 KPFs and 2 rucks in the side despite Nankervis’ injury.

A tick for the named side in my opinion.

Now all that’s left is for us to secure the loss in this game for an 11th-12th finish

 

[beema limapep]

MRJ out for the fresh air handballer himself, one Mr Castagna

100 point loss incoming

 

[fargothegreat]

Good to see Pickett back. I like him up forward. Think that's his best position if we can get him comfortable there.

Love the fact we've just thrown in every young mid we have to give them all a taste. We'll probably get smashed, but it doesn't really matter.

Castagna and Ross over MJ and Ralphsmith probably my only issue with this team, but overall I'm happy.

 

[Neen]

Tanking without making it too obvious. I love it. I almost predicted the changes in last week's autopsy thread as a payback to the AFL for screwing us this year with rule changes and the record free kick differential. I would have preferred "rested" after the "injured" player's names. I think Edwards and Cotchin are the only legit "injuries". So take this away from us AFL. The picks will be sweeter in the draft and we get to see some quality (hopefully) kids play.

Zero expectation other than seeing Dave's last game and the kids. I think we will go out kicking and screaming. The year from hell will be over and we can rest and wait for the new rule changes if the Cats fail to win the flag again....

I would love Dimma to approach Clarkson in the off season with the challenge of working a tactic to screw with the "stand" rule. Clarkson loves a challenge - like homework before he goes on holidays.

Won't be surprised if we smash the Hawks in frees to "make up" for the ride we have had this year... I'm going to tip a draw because of the mutual respect of Dimma and Clarkson. It will be a relief when the season is over and we can watch us smash the draft, and then launch into next year.

I hope win win for Dave and Bashar...

[YeOldTiger]

After four years it actually IS Miller time !

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

I think Miller could be our missing link going forward . He’s got a lot of a young Alex Rance

similarities but a bigger version . Having Balta , Miller , CCJ going forward both short and long term would be an awesome asset .
