I would like to see Baldwin play at Marvel, next week.
Out Draper, Langford, Ham, Baldwin, Guelfi, Stewart, Cox
In Stringer, Phillips, Wanganeen, Cutler, Durham, BZT, Francis
Medical sub Waterman or Hobbs
Really want to see Cox go back to the magoos and earn his.way back in and get some confidence back.
The fans will be up for it with joe playing against us for the first time in Melbourne. It’s up to the players to do their part and actually give some effort and get stuck into the contest.
If we dish up the same sort of effort as we did today, I fear the crowd will really turn on the players( similar to the round 2 saints game in 2019)
What did 2MP do wrong??? Theres no way he will be dropped.
Probably going to need that Big Bodied mid that Dods selected with our first
Out: Ham, Langford
In: Cutler, Stringer
Bryan in if Drapers suspended
Durham sub
Stringer, Durham, Hobbs
Out: anyone
Over in the review thread, there was a quick discussion that Snelling has a calf complaint and it’s expected to be 1-2 weeks.
Would love for it to just be a week and he’s available.
Otherwise
IN - Stringer, Francis
OUT - Langford, Ham
Shiel/Parish we’re rotating forward today, maybe move them to rotate in Langford’s position instead?
Have Stringer and Francis in the forward line.
As one of the people that stormed out at half time, I missed the Draper incident. Is he definitely going to get a week? I haven’t seen any reference to it in the media.
Agree. It’s important that we continue pumping games into Baldwin. Besides, he didn’t have a fair crack at it today, considering the rubbish served up by the midfield.
IN: Stringer, Wanganeen
OUT: Langford, Ham
Bring Tex in. Don’t expect him to debut like Martin, but we could do with a spark and some excitement. Even taking into account possible match fitness issues, he SURELY can’t be any worse than about 18 players today
Baldwin won’t play too many games in a row this time around, but I’d give him more than 1 game.
Plus we went with a three tall setup all preseason. We should really play both of them. (And then switch Francis and Stewart.)
Punched Ratagulea in the ribs very late and got nowhere near the ball. I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t get a week
If Draper gets a week, it’s a joke. That said, it was faux tough guy crap. He was as weak as ■■■■ today.
Same but drop everyone without a respectable haircut
Ball wasn’t that far away. And in dispute. Most would get off, but he plays for us…
No he deserves a week for stupidity alone. Was a stupid act. Nowhere near the ball.
I would like to see Stewart play as a key forward too.
He has put on serious size, and would be a different type of forward now.
Like Caldwell passing the ball into the middle of nowhere instead of kicking for goal. Resulted in Geelong having the exact shot for goal 1 minute later
Will give a better effort but still go down by 5-6 goals and still see nothing has changed in terms of game plan and tatics becuase we are Essington
OUT: Langford, Baldwin & Draper
IN: Stringer, Francis & Bryan
Could definitely afford to bring in a small forward (i.e. Tex) but I’d hate to come up against Starcevich in my first game.
I have also been of the opinion for a while that Stewart isn’t up to it. I’d rather go with BZT. He at least gives it a good go and is dirty on himself when he makes a mistake.
