Changes v Saints

Out: Perkins, Goldy, Menzie, Guelfi inj

In: Hobbs, A. Davey, Roberts, Hind

Hobbs still a concern for me on effective ball use but will give me a contest. Perkins just not there currently

Jones & Cox for some relief ruck. Lets get some speed over the ground

Hind and Davey forward pressure roles.
Roberts rotate 3 man wing and Cox goes more ruck relief/forward

Heppell must come in to give guidance to a young team.

We owe him a debt of gratitude.

Why dont we just play Hobbs in the guts where he excelled as a Junior

It’s going to be a bloodbath of the highest order

Why would you drop Hind and bring Menzie in? Dont get it.

In: Philips and Z Clarke.

Need more mature ruckman to soak up the pressure in the middle.

Because the coach overrates him. Absolute plodder that hates body contact. At least Hind has some wheels

He is, but we know his ceiling.

What they do with 2MP will be interesting. I agree with the outs, but do you bring Wright straight back in after being dropped and having not gone back to the VFL to earn his recall? The forward line generated enough score last night, it’s not like we really struggled for goals with him out. A fair bit rests on the MRO findings on the Caddy-Dawson incident. I also heard Guelfi did a hammy late last night (typical) so he has to be a likely out.

Based on Scott’s presser, I don’t think we’ll be going with the two ruck combo.

Think we’ll omit Goldy and bring back 2MP.

Odds for next week are depressingly close

Forward line just seems so much more congested when his in

I dont know if its a proven fact but i thought the ball was brought to ground alot more as well last night

I actually thought the forward like functioned better last night, the problem is, when the ball hits the ground, we have nothing resembling a decent small forward.

I actually thought all the problems last night apart from some gettable goals were all Midfield and our defence end not our forwards

What a relief!! In that case no 2MP for me. Probably will roll with Draper solo ruck with Cox and maybe Jones chopping him out at times.

If only he came to that realisation last Thursday night
