I don't care who gets selected.. I want to see the 18 players on the field having a red-hot crack at the contest for four quarters.
Want to see Acres, Dunstan, Longer and Webster back in for Battle, Long, Hickey and McKenzie. Reality is we probably won't make 4 changes and that one of Acres and Dunstan don't come back in, but you can't not make too many changes for 'team balance' reasons or whatever Richo likes to call it. If you lose by 10 goals to a team two games outside of the 8, something drastic needs to change.
If he really wanted to send a message to the playing group that bullshit performances like last week aren't okay, none of those 4 guys I listed will be playing this week. Lonie can consider himself extremely lucky that so many other guys had a worse game than him last week and there isn't really anyone else pressing for selection, he was crap. It's like you know he'll turn it over nearly every time he gets it, none of his touches are effective unless they're for the other team.

Longer listed as "Test" - you'd have to assume that if he's fit he will come straight back in to replace Hickey.
Webster should replace Dmac
Gilbert listed as 3/4 weeks and Bailey Rice listed as "test" so maybe Brandon White for Gilbert.
That leaves Battle and Long under pressure. Hard if Battle is dropped after one game where the team played a shocker but if they want to give Marshall a run it will be at the expense of Battle.
Long may be saved by the lack of form from Mav.

If Acres doesn't come in I predict some serious pre-game melts!

Whoops - I hadn't really thought of Acres. (the forgotten man already!!!)
Which spot and who does he replace?
Loss of Gilbo really complicates the situation.
He could come in and almost certainly play a better game than 20 blokes did last week, take your pick
Looking at the team from last time we met.
Last time we went with Steele Dunstan and Koby. Dmac had come in to replace Webster and Paddy in for Bruce who had been omitted.
We won the clearances but couldn't do anything with it.
With Gilbo out and perhaps Geary. Dmac will probably stay in. Webster to come back with perhaps White?
Long to make way for Acres who will be named up on the forward flank but can change up with Dmac if need be.
Longer/Marshall in for Hickey.
I can't see Richo dropping Battle or one of the mids as they get the chance to redeem themselves. But if he does it will be Dunstan in for Steele.

Especially when Richo has his say and brings Dunstan and Wrighty back in

Agree.
But
Lonie, Billings and Gresham all together means very little fwd pressure and not many tackles laid.

Gresham and Billings are both very good offensive players primarily and can get in off of that.
Lonies pressure is improving
True and that's why Long will probably keep his spot until Weller bangs down the door.
Means only one of Acres/Dunstan get back in.
4 changes is probably still too many, but after last week, 4 is needed for me.

Yeah his game should translate well to AFL. Contested marking forwards should get better delivery which should offset any extra defence they have.
Still extremely concerned with this stat that someone mentioned earlier - with all of Membrey, Bruce and Riewoldt in the side we are 9-2. Without any one of them playing, we are 0-5.

I thought Lonie had a very good game especially when you looked at the other forwards who didn't even try.

Wow! He needs to be playing AFL. Size and athleticism with the skills to back it up.
