Changes vs Cats 2024

A poor performance that felt like we never got out of first gear. But we won by 5 goals.

Not sure if Redman is in trouble for that tackle?

Midfield needs a reset. Hobbs back in?

Shiel definitely has to come in for Cox. Thats a start.
But by god do we miss Darcy

I doubt that’s happening. Setterfield and Hobbs will be in well before Shiel.

Please not Shiel. He still just boots it without looking.

Pretty tough selection this week.

Goldy will be back in.
Perhaps Cox out.
Will they drop Caddy.

He’s a chance to come back in but nowhere near a certainty.

Clearly ‘managed’ was him being dropped given we had the bye.

Draper’s best game of the season comes when he’s given the keys to go solo

Not sure I see an immediate need for changes.

Hobbs could probably do with another in the 2s.

Are you mad?

We already have Caldwell. Including Shiel would require another Flight Plan to fund the oil budget.

Also: wouldn’t be tinkering with the squad too much at all this week.

Travelling beautifully at the minute.

In - Gresham
Out - Menzie

Missing that one extra midfielder at the moment. Rather Hobbs over Setterfield and Shiel but unsure if they will bring any of them in.

Keep the Draper/Wright ruck combo for one more week. Especially against a Cats side without a recognised ruckman.

Goldy will come in.
So will Gresham.

I’d say Caddy will go out. Menzie likely too.
Hind to be sub.

That’s assuming no injuries come out of the game or occur during the week.

We play at the G, so we should be able to go into the game with similar bench rotations to Anzac Day with the added bonus of having Ridley in our backline.
Midfield run is going to be a bit of a worry though. Still think the team we name is one tall too many.

probably no change…edit…gresh for menzie if he’s ready to play.

I’d leave caddy in and again play draper & 2MP as rucks, rather than bringing goldy back. Drapes, 2MP & goldy are a bit lumbering especially given 2MP isn’t playing well enough to play FF all game.

caddy, jones, cox with langford & stringer gives us some good height and mobility around the wing & forward half.

at full strength we bat deep in the midfield. that, plus these young mobile talls might be what makes us a genuine top 4 team.

Forgot Gresham missed.

He is an obvious in for either Hind or Menzie.

I think hobbs gets in ahead of Menzie

Gresham for Menzie and that’s all.

No Goldstein.

Gresham definitley comes back in. Do we need Goldstein for the Cats? Hobbs or Setterfield to replace Menzie as sub. I think possibly Greshham for Hind, Hind moved to sub, Menzie out.
