That will only work if the VFL play after the AFL. They won't be playing a sub in the VFL prior to a senior gameI personally think he should start on the ground. But if he’s sub he can still play VFL right?

It’s a good sideNot that l expect Jake to be selected, but here we go.

HF: Higgins Battle Membrey
FF: Lonie King Butler
R: Ryder Crouch Gresham
I/C: Clark, Ross, Bytel, Jones
I'd rather try Salabakis now than go again with Phunter.
Bytel is probably the one that goes out for Crouch unfortunately. The backline is a worry if Webster sits out, shame that we didn't keep Savage on as a rookie or something. Perhaps we send Ross or someone back to play off a flank.
That bloke makes Hunter look like GawnThere was a 200cm bloke doing some rucking for Sandy on the weekend , i wonder if they are going to give him a crack at it next weekend
I wonder if they will try Jake as a back up ruck ?Disagree politely mate .....Lonie no more ...Higgins gets reprieve only because he is a better player.
Steele forward ...rotating on ball for me ...
Webster out just means ...Clark , Coffield & Long ..playing back with Clark given opportunity on ball
later in game .....with Sinclair very very disappointing game from Jack has to respond or dropped.
Bytel Crouch Gresham Jones ..starting 4.......Ross on a wing Battle is FF .. King forward pocket take
pressure off the kid ........
Bombers will throw everything at us early hope we are ready for it.
Bytel screams defensive pressure and quality... Something one way runners like Jones need to practice...
He plays every week for mine. Lonie out for Bytel, Battle back for Webster shuffling every one down a size would probably help as well
I wonder if they will try Jake as a back up ruck ?
Agree 100% and it had nothing to do with last weeks game IMOWe might mate .........
Think he is definitely in consideration......
Just me didn’t think it was ruck where we were poor , ball use abysmal..., unacceptable around stoppage.
Played really unaccountable defence...all over ground , way too cute by half with ball use , tackled for
1st ..ten minutes of game ...then simply played very very soft played like statues in forward half.
Yep , we cant play all three short people up there , Lonie out you go , we have gresh who can rest forward , billing can go forward , its time to give Bytel some decent game timeDisagree politely mate .....Lonie no more ...Higgins gets reprieve only because he is a better player.

Works the other way too - Bytel needs to develop his offensive game to offer more when we've got the footy, or he becomes just another midfield plodder.
I reckon with the way we want to play, having Crouch and Bytel in the same side is one too many, he's gonna spend some time at VFL level before he's a walkup start.
Higgins was terrible along with Jones, long had a shocker complete with turnovers and stupid free kicks.Disagree politely mate .....Lonie no more ...Higgins gets reprieve only because he is a better player.

If there was a week to muck around with Jake as a ruck or change the KPD look of our back 6. It must be this week. Can’t be stuffing around for the eagles game.Disagree politely mate .....Lonie no more ...Higgins gets reprieve only because he is a better player.

I don’t think we need our A game. But I’ve heard a lot of external commentary about Hollywood ball use (mainly aimed at Hill) and I agree.Higgins was terrible along with Jones, long had a shocker complete with turnovers and stupid free kicks.
Sinclair didn’t have a bad game, he turned it over a couple of times but was so far from our worst imo its way off the mark to talk about him needing to be dropped. I’ve watched the full game twice now, 21 disposals two tackles and 4 clearances just back up what i saw.
This was never going to be an easy season and we need to bring our A game every week or we won’t win too many.
Hunter is still a better option that Alabakis.Not that l expect Jake to be selected, but here we go.

Agreed. We entered the game knowing we would be demolished in the ruck. That wasn't where we were let down.We might mate .........

I think we need Jake in defence this week so he has an AFL game under his belt before the West Coast and Richmond where he will desperately be needed. But I also have zero faith in the coaches to pick him for those games despite everything.If there was a week to muck around with Jake as a ruck or change the KPD look of our back 6. It must be this week. Can’t be stuffing around for the eagles game.
Lonie out for me. Too often cheats and runs to the back for the easy ball. Would rather see Gresh get the ball less over the course of a game but to much it more in our 50.
Don’t think it matters these days where you play King. He gets game planned because he is a threat aerially or ground level. Must be put on battle to lift now or consider wood.
If we want another small defender. Dmac comes in. I feel like in a more attacking team, his dumb moments won’t be as bad. So I feel comfortable if he comes in for Webster.

Phillips might be injured as well. Nick Bryan next in line I think.Haven't they got Andrew Phillips as a back up ruckman he is serviceable.
We have to improve our contested football ...sure we had great win against Giants but we
lost contested ball by 30 ...got absolutely smashed in contested ball by Demons .....
