In: Lav
Out: Any hope of winning
Lav wont make or break us. Its gonna come come to our mids being able to stop their mids pumping the ball inside 50 like 80 times.
Plain and simple.
P.S - no Menzie please
Is Guefli ready to do a shut down role at Half forward on Dale?
Richards plays mainly on ball so must run hard into defence.
For me it comes down to selection this week - Play Johnson, we win. Play Laverde - we lose. What will Brad do.
Cant see Guefli being fit enough, maybe Martin and Kako combo could try to mimise his impact
Last years jobs Guelfi did on Whitfield & Sicily were key to us winning those games. Probably two of our better wins for the year.

Agree about the mids and Menzie.
My fear with Lav is that we still have some players who are serious disposal risks, especially under pressure, and Lav will add to this list.
Secondly, who will Lav line up on? Any one of their smalls will take him to the cleaners.
Unless they are thinking of playing him up forward - and why would you - I can’t see how he could/would fit in.
Guelfi will ping a hammy chasing Dale around. No thanks not ready.

You have a bad feeling every week.
Im talking
IN: Laverde Guelfi Menzies
OUT: Hayes Day-Wicks El-Hawli
Kind of bad.
AND Shiel keeping his spot.
Dont do it Brad, Im begging you.

Got a bad feeling about selection tonight.
Going to be ugly.
I think Brad will still go youth. Johnson fresh off a week off in.
In: Johnson (Debut), Tsatas
Out: Hayes, Shiel
maybe Day Wicks sub
Guelfi a possiblity too, given Gresham not ready and if they have a role for him. He has 2 full VFL games under his belt now.

YOU MONSTER
It’ll be Lav and Guelfi for Hayes and ADW - not sure why we even need this thread.
you boys are so busy wallowing in your own self-created misery, our next Glorious Age will dawn, and you won’t even notice.
Dont know why all the hate on Lav, plays his guts out every week.
Nobody ever criticizes his effort or intent. He’s gutsy as all get out. Don’t think that’s ever been questioned.
It’s the skills and defending bit which is a problem.
Menzie for ADW would be classic Brad
Pls don’t do it

-
We already have 4 x defenders over 6 foot 2
-
He’s just about finished and almost certain to be delisted at seasons end.
-
We are working to infuse better ball users in our D50.
LAV is a terrible decision maker and average kick at best.
Lack of loud cheer or Twomey post suggests we are not getting a debutant.
Lav is a gun - why so much negativity around Lav on here…!!!
Good grief
