Can a mod please merge the two threads??
Do we need 2x ‘Changes for the Dreamtime Match’ threads??

Hope we lose by 100 every week until we sack everyone and fold the club
Ivans fault.
He fixated on writing 22 players names in fixed positions.

Out; Kelly Durham, Caldwell if injured
In; Tex, Cox, Baldwin if Caldwell doesn’t come up.
1 less slow back
Swap of wing / forward
More threat up forward - Tex & possibly Baldwin

outs : this thread
ins: the first changes thread
Is this legit?
My gosh. Murphy has had an absolute mare this year. At least 3 or 4 guys who have come back and re done the same injury.

It was only a few weeks ago that Phillips showed that he is clearly the best ruckman we have atm.
No love for him here.
The seasons finished.
As much as he might be the best current option, Draper/Bryan clearly need more experience. It’s unfortunate for Phillips but we have to be looking towards the future

yes but there are positives.
he doesn’t waste a disposal. is a accurate shot on goal.
will lift wanganeen to have him playing beside him.
He can provide some leadership as a experienced player.
If he bumps a opposition player they will go down.
we will still have a forward in our forward half when we win the ball, unlike when we need to stop and prop and go sideways.
he might get a couple of joe the gooses out the back.
he might also get the desire back to return to the level required.
i probably have it similar to us selecting Caldwell in a final last year over Clarke.
we got a good half out of him, then he was toast.
but we looked good until half time.
Mate, you don’t get how unfit he is.
He would be tanked before the end of the first quarter.
It would be horrible to watch.

i saw last weeks match
a couple of his touches resulted in a couple of the paltry goals we got.
it seems like he is going backwards as far as getting touches in the VfL which is concerning.
sometimes being a athlete is overrated. body positioning,footy judgement and speed off the mark more important.
just get tips to man mark when exiting 50.
opposition walt’s the ball from defense straight inside 50 anyway.
we actually had peter wright make quite a few contests where there was a spillage but we had no crumbers that’s where Tippa, Wanganeen and Smith are dangerous.
season is shot, could be his last chance to play in a dream time game and might be the only chance wanganeen gets to play with him.

We should definitely play Tex.
Walla isn’t ready though.
I would just hate for him to play out his contract in the VfL and that’s it.

I think that’s on the cards, unfortunately.
He’s got to show he wants to play AFL Footy again.
Nothing about his conditioning suggests this.

Since I booked flights & accommodation to come down with 6 x mates for this game back in January the only change I think I’ll make is going to Trevor Barker Oval on Saturday morning rather than the G on Saturday night to at least see a Bombers team have a red hot go
