Changes rnd 3 v North

Out - Sharp, Redman, El Achkar, Perkins, Langford, Fiorini
In - Farrow, El Hawli, Tsatas, McMahon, May, Gresham

Opposed to the same fkn dogshit players we’ve put up with, year after year

How long do you just continue to accept gutter performances from guys like wright & perkins. Seriously, with their output, we’d be no worse off with Grimley & Polkinghorne

Parish, Perkins and Langford can all do one

Bring in Tsatas, hawli-putting him up forward and farrow comes in also

He and Gresham were held over emergencies. Just what a developing youngster needs!

Ah, yes, surely this is the bottom. Can’t be much lower?

The midfield sets the tone and have offered 0 leadership so far. Someone needs to be made an example of. Preferably more than 1.

With the injury to Redman, send Durham back and make him chase forwards around and see how hard it is with 0 pressure on the ball.

And send Caldwell to play in the forward pocket for a week where his only target should be to lay forward 50 tackles.

I’d also support Parish getting dropped, but I’d start with the above two, bring in Tsatas and put every one of the midfield group on notice that another poor game means someone is playing VFL the following week.

Move Langford to the wing and bring in May. Wright is lucky to get a game but Blakiston can’t play one out against Xerri. Wright and Langford can’t play together in the same forward line.

Gresham in for Perkins who managed 2 whole pressure acts.

Gerryn in for Reid who has been beyond woeful to start.

Farrow in for someone else. Maybe Fiorini if Sharp is fit to play. Doesn’t sound like we have many others who have earned a game in the 2s.

Those ā€˜ins’ give me very little comfort…North will be smelling blood.

That presser Brad gave screams

Omitted

So he better follow through and then get the response. Otherwise he is on his arse I think

Guelfi has been pucked all year, especially last Frinight.. He’s a long way of atm..

Kondo isn’t being dropped. He’s now our tallest available defender after McKay, Reid and Gerreyn.

The whole team seems out of form/sync/whack.. That’s coaches and leaders issues firstly, lost synergy..

Ridley is due back.. I don’t think he’ll play VFL, unless on limited mins..

That would be so Essendon to rush him back

Tracking beautifully at the minute.

Problem is no one is screaming for selection in the VFL, you’d be giving out senior games in hope. Tsatas and Farrow would be my two inclusions but I have low expectations on how they’d go. Gresham maybe?
