Sad to say but I am now comvinced Jones will never be up to AFL standard

Wouldn’t be tinkering too much at all with the squad this week.

Tracking beautifully at the minute.

Out : Bryan, Prior
In: Sweid, Al Achkar

Perfect world in addition to losing Bryan we drop Shiel and Setters, move Hobbs to middle with Tsatas, play El Hawli and ADW, and make Nguyen sub.

Wouldn’t be our strongest team on paper but would give a lot of kids experience.

A couple of weeks ago they led Brisbane by 5 goals.

One of Wright Goldstein or Visentini should play. Can always sub one out late in the 3rd if necessary.

If they think Wright needs more game time / match fitness then they’ll prob play Goldstein and sub him at some point. Would be great to give Vigo a go, but they won’t.

Tsatas is the other obvious in and he’s had the extra week to get the hand closer to 100% (although realistically it will need longer).

Another pretty good team effort so I’m not sure who you’d drop.

Is this a joke?! Goodness me he’s having a ā– ā– ā– ā–  run of it.

It’s no joke

Are people really suggesting we bring in Goldy or are they pi$$taking ?

Media going with their paltry 77 contested possessions being the lowest ever recorded in the history of the AFL, looks like eagles will be under pressure this week , just as melbourne were this week, basically whoever we play the next week will be under the pump in the media

Vigo isn’t ready if you swapping out Bryan straight for another ruck. Its Goldy and Draper plays forŵard or 2MP and Draper plays ruck.

Surely Wright for Bryan.
I know Prior is the new whipping boy but at the game last night he was doing well. The backline had a chance to gel well against a poor forward line. Reid looked great and as much as it pains me to say it Mc grath looked like the only person that could keep Picket under control

Wright for Bryan and SEH for Jones. There should be no other changes. The absolute goal has to be consistency of team selection following a win when possible

Goldy will come in. Draper can’t ruck all year by himself they will want to preserve him

Last two weeks, we’ve played 14th and 17th. Next three weeks, we’ll play 18th, 4th and 15th.

I’m worried that the logic of backing in the winning team will just mean that Shiel, etc. who we need to move on, will keep getting games much longer than we need

There are so many other options than selecting a 35 year old ruckman in a team that’s on the rebuild/reset or what ever you want to call it.
