I reckon we should drop Hyde, Weller and Cogs (he is injured) i don't want him out but why play someone thats injured when our season is pretty much over according to nearly everyone

You sound like Danny.

Drop Weller - right, he's had one game. Surely there's others before him. I don't care how bad he was, there have been plenty before him that have put in a few shockers a few weeks in a row.

Give these kids and newcomers a chance to learn how to play with their new teams.

In:
Schulz (should never have been dropped)
Hilton (we must find out what he's got left in him)
Tuck (against his dad's old team)
D. Kellaway (his retirement game ... a testimonial if you like)
Pettifer (he must get some currency up before trade time)

Out:
Zantuck (make him Coburg's problem for a while)
Bowden (the message needs to be conveyed somehow)
Chaffey (see Bowden)
Coughlan (get him right)
Gaspar (see Cogs)

agree with Ghost but not sure about D.K.

the young players who are putting in (read: roach, hartigan, fiora etc) should be given a full game. Those who are lackluster and show little or no enthusiasm to be out there should be the ones who sit on the pine. Morrison to play all game at CHF and Shultz whole game at CHB. or vice versa. Lets see if Weller can play, give him the third tall and leave him there. Let Pettifer mop up across half back and leave him there the whole game. Lets see if the kid can play and give him a chance to get some confidence (and no Danny you dont get confidence on the bench).

I agree with most of what you say Ghost but I would include Fletcher (if fit) instead of Dunc (who hasn't had much match practice). I think Rodan will be a chance to return too but I'm not sure who else to drop. Blumfield should be ready for a run soon too.

I wouldnt include Rodan, he needs a few weeks in the twos to get some kind of consistancy in his game.

pretty much agree with Ghosts line up except I would include Blumfield instead of D.Kellaway.

Also those players dropped I'd make it clear that they have to perform well at coburg for more than just 1 week.

If Schulz is brought back into the team I'd just like to see him left on the field the whole game. Same for Pettifer and even give Hyde a full game on the wing and let him be an attacking option instead of having to worry about tagging someone everytime he gets on the ground.

I agree kretchy but i wouldnt drop Chaffey, he is in our leadership group and he isnt playing the worst.

I think the same is with Newman, he should be attacking not tagging
