Changes vs Bears

vomit Laverde as a key defender…

Why do so many posters believe dropping a player who has just come back into the team after an injury lay-off is ever gonna happen?

Guelfi, Gresham, Caldwell will all take time to find their way back to best form. You gotta give returning players at least 4 games

Wanna see Gerryn play I don’t care about anyone else

Tsatas papers are stamped

ADW and SEH to come in and play forward, Gresham is absolutely useless

Gerryn for Langford.
Zac Johnston for Reid.

Who was it in here earlier this year saying we had too many tall backmen ?

Exactly. It’s fully expected they aren’t going to be at their best in first few games back. They also likely mentally a bit more cautious.

Caldwell was vastly improved game 2

Half of blitz wanted him dropped after Dogs game

Guelfi & Gresh will be better for the run. Guelfi did a good job shutting down Vlaustin that said, intercept marks wise. Gresh definitely needs to lift.

Parish the next one to be integrated in

Gresham is farking awful and if we had a modicum of selection integrity he’d never play for us again.

Oh no, the cracks are still very much in open sight…

what other choice do we have?

Johnson, ADW, SEH and Tstatas in!

OMac is not currently playing for Brisbane. They are running with Darcy Fort. If he is missing again next week, it feels like a great opportunity to give big VIGO a run before an MSD pick comes in and cuts his lunch. Goldy can have a rest for a short break.

So let’s go with:

Out: Reid, Lang, Goldy
In: Johnson, Vigo, Tsatas

In : Kruger, McCartin, ADJ, Shiel

Out: Reid, Langford, Kako (rested), Goldy (rested)

Kruger /2MP to ruck and change forward. McCartin CHB

Just put in a good effort thats all

I just want them to have fun.

In - Vigo, Tsatas, Day-Wicks
Out - Goldstein, Langford, Reid

Not much to choose from unfortunately. Don’t think there are any key-position players left?

Praying Reid is ok. And it was just precautionary we sat him out.

With that in mind it’s really only Langford to worry about.

With him out do we:

  1. Play Wright permanent fwd & bring in Vigo as fwd/ruck to help out Goldy
  2. Play Perkins in Langfords role and bring in another rotation midfielder, ie. Hobbs / Tsatas / Parish if he gets enough minutes in VFL in.

I’d say we are more likely to go the latter scenario

Gresham would have to be in gun also, think they’d persist and hope for 2nd game back improvement. Lacked zip though, adductor issues can be pesky

Sub choice may well differ this week also. Hopefully SEH gets back in the frame

Who is in for the Lions? I am. Any Brissy Blitzers interested in meeting up? Which end will the Bombers cheer squad take? PM me, lets get organized. Go Bombers!

Bit depends on tonight but I reckon they will think about Menzie for Langford. About the only forward option we have left.
No obvious replacement for Reid so maybe Shiel or Parish. Johnson a chance.

Yuck, much better off give ASW or SEH playing across HF

Guys like Menzie and Gresham are finished with Essendon
