Ham is an emergency

Bit weird but good for Marty.

He deserves a chance to try and make his mark again. He will provide running power on the big open spaces of the G and he’s a smart hardworking footballer so I’m sure he’ll look to reward the selectors.

Love the Razzle. Bring it Raz!

So wait, is Mckenna still in?

Ham can feel bloody unlucky.

Reckon its looking at the Sydney game as the reference for ins and outs.

It looks like they are ignoring last week’s team altogether and basing the ins and outs on the week prior.

Yep Snelling retains his spot at CHF.
I must admit I was doubtful when they replaced him with Merrett for the Melbourne game.

Dropping Guelfi is a good decision and sends a message to the rest of the squad. I like him but he contributes very little going forward and you just can’t afford to have to many of those types.

The difficult thing for him now is proving that he’s got a place in the side when there is no reserves comp and no physical hitout during the week at training.

Let’s see if some of the more senior players that aren’t contributing get the same treatment over the coming weeks.

You can’t say anyone is stiff.

There is no VFL at the moment, so if they haven’t played seniors how do we know what kind of form if any they are in.

Any news on a ressies scratch match?

and what happens if there is no vfl season for the whole year ?
are you only going to drop players from the starting 22 who get injuries ?

like it or not, this year you are gong to have to pick players on intensity at training v form in the seniors, otherwise you’ll never pick anyone new cos no one outside the 25 atm will have a chance to prove anything.
