If Weid jumps the queue in front of Baldwin or even Monty to replace Ridley, I will not even watch the match. Trying to not get angry on something that hasn’t yet happened but would so be within character.
You all know what’s going to happen. We’ll lose this one and then rally by toppling the might of West Coast and North (by a goal or two) followed by a plucky win against GWS in order to set it up for a media hyped MUST WIN clash against the Pies to make finals which we’ll of course lose in the same fashion we always do against them as we are their b¡tch who they toy with.
Good golly gosh, you are triggered easily.
*Outs: Ridley (inj), Snelling, Kelly.
Ins: Baldwin, Menzie, Hind, Mass (sub).
*These are the changes l would make, not what l think will happen. Kelly for instance will probably stay in. I would also rest Stringer if he is injured, because it sure looks that way.
Id only bring in speculative choices early from the VFL if the season is done.
We need the best option to replace Ridley. Its a bad time to lose our best defender. We play some sides now with some great and experienced key forwards.
Id be considering an opportunity to also bring in Tsatas for a debut. Deserves one this year. I think it will lift the group.
I don’t think Stringer is the problem, I think our ball movement is.
The poor performances of the past two weeks is all on the coaching and fitness departments imho. We may have still lost but still. Not in the same manner.m
So Weid/Baldwin in for Rids
A spot for Tsatsas and I dunno whats wrong with Menzies?
Out: Bryan, Stringer, Snelling, Kelly
In: Voss, Tippa, Menzie, Hind (full game)
2 rucks isn’t working and Bryan getting limited game time before being subbed out constantly is a waste of a spot in the team imo. Replace him with a smaller, pressure player
Stringer clearly injured, replace with Voss
We are too slow out of defence leading to either bombing long or constant switches. Need quickr rebound, bring back Hind
Bombing to Peter Wright didn’t work and was repetitive and predictable, bring back Tippa at hf he has the skill and awareness to hit a leading target and creates. Snelling or Guelfi to com out, bith providing very little and not at the base of packs enough either
Menzie 3rd in our goals for this year, mystified why he was dropped
