Changes vs Bulldogs 2025

A lot of you have a very short memory.

First half vs Sydney, Zach Reid able to control the backline intercept at will and help with transition. All of this because of Hayes.

Second half Hayes goes down, Reid’s role shifts and so to the game.

Bringing in Laverde structurally is just a logical and straightforward move. It’s not the most creative and isn’t the move of a full rebuild but makes a lot of sense and allows us to continue developing Reid as our most damaging backman.

Similar happened against north when Ridley went off.

Structure is important

To be honest I wanted Ginby in that draft. He’s a solidly built versatile player. Tsatas can only play one position and his physical readiness in that position is questionable.
In time he might make a great clearance player but a lot of scoring is off the back of turnovers. Currently his clearances can be a net negative, he needs to be able to put the ball to a teammates advantage.

LOL, sorry this is hilarious. He cannot kick and can’t even break into a bottom 5 side because of his clear deficiencies. Ain’t nobody offering him a best 22 spot! Maybe tassie.

…but, a really ordinary Sub

I’m not sure Brad has really embraced the rebuild. Perhaps he thinks we can still make the finals.
If he fully embraced it Tsatas would be playing over Shiel.

And Johnson potentially in as well.

We are going for wins / finals.
We will judge Brad on our performance. Win he maybe made the right call, lose he should have played the kids.

Are we sure Reid’s ok to play?
Could explain Lav coming in, with one of the kids being the late in

Of course he hasn’t.

Brad Scott has one speed. Scrapping for wins with a mediocre list.

That’s why he has a hard on for guys like Jake Kelly, Harry Jones, Jye Menzie, Finn Maguiness etc who put a lot of effort in running around a lot. He’d have no idea what to do with a talented list. Like giving a toddler the keys to a Ferrari.

Well this morning I thought I would read my latest lunchtime catch Up e mail to I pad. Is locked…
Says wrong password….have had same one for ever …tried and tried repeatedly and have given up.
Apart from most likely being the oldest one, on here, so somewhat nutty, I then proceeded to open my Bomber umbrella sent to me as a gift, pushed the silver button and it exploded ferociously to 3/4 up and no more and will not budge. Poor Louie dog, up the hall he raced.
This all better be a good omen for the game ….i hope.

I know it’s only a sample of 1, but I thought Prior was very good last week

Hope the “strays” don’t forget to shut the roof

So, for home games our Cheersquad is always at the Southern Cross Station side.
Can anyone confirm what side we are on for Marvel away games ?

Will I as a member with general admin away access be able to walk up tomorrow to the game and get in?

Or is the game expected to be fully ticketed?

Lav is a battlefield.
