Poor Kaine

I don’t think they care that much. Allen goes into the backline if if they are down by 100 at half time.

Elias Tsatas aside, weak team changes

We’re still playing Kelly?

Will probably be the sub.

As expected. I would have liked davey to stay in

Reckon we’re getting closer to seeing the end of tippa. This week was the week, his non selection with a month to go is pretty telling imo

Yeah I reckon he is done, and probably fair enough too.

Should be picking Tex or walla. Need a natural crumbing forward

but we don’t know for sure, because we don’t pick them and give them a proper go at it

Good for Tastas, excited to see him. Still no Baldwin is baffling to me.

I thought it’d be Kelly & Snelling out, Tsatas in

Close but Davey the one who cut. Who definitely still wasn’t up the pace of AFL, he did cop a knock early on also that probably impacted though.

There is no way at this stage of their development we are playing both Baldwin and Cox in our backline at present so ideas of Lav being dropped for Baldwin was never happening IMO

Kelly is the interesting one. BDB does have to get a look over the list and see who may be able to play elsewhere. Kelly is one of our best endurance runners and defensive by nature, trialing him to tag opposition dangerous wingers maybe has some merit. Certainly prefer that scenario than them say putting Setterfield out there which they did vs Boak. Kelly much stronger over the ball and at the man than Cox, Martin and probably Durham too

If it doesn’t work so be it but I can see some potential thinking behind. I’m rapt it means Hind stays in defence because at his best he can really spark us and his overlap run last week did that.

Well done to Tsatas on the debut. Exciting times for the kid and the club.

And clearly yes we are still trying to make finals. As we should be aspiring to.

We win our last 4 and will be thoroughly deserving of too

Losing faith in scott.

Tsatsas comes in for a couple of token games at the end of the season when it’s clear he could have been playing after a couple of VFL games.

Davey comes in for one, was subbed out, then dropped (great way to build confidence).

Kelly who played up forward because he has no position in the team not dropped despite Baldwin being playing good footy and being able to replace either he or Kelly.

He is a safe, boring, unimaginative coach at the selection table…worse than rutten, probably on the same pegging has worsfold.

And we do they will have stuff all impact like Davey

Cant play kids for the sake of playing them if they come in they need to perform

Baldwin says ā€œfark off Nino. I’ve been consistently good in the 2’s all year and clunking them in defence whilst the opposition slaughters us for inside 50’sā€

He is soo stuck in his ways that he doesn’t no any other way…fast forward 2 years…if this continues and we are middle ranked still he will be getting his marching orders….let’s hope he changes his selection ways because right now they are not sharp.

he is just a kid, he isn’t going to come on and be BOG. Kids needs multiple games in a row. In one week and out the next does nothing for them

They are not token games he’s getting. Tsatsas has earnt his spot by playing well in the vfl for a few weeks.

Maybe if guys like Davey can peform well every week in the vfl he keeps his spot.

Not expecting to be him bog he needs to contribute if he comes in. I hardly notice Davey when he’s playing almost playing like a man short because how little he contributes
