Heppell won’t be dropped he was very good today, and is having a solid season.

I agree Hobbs needs a rocket and should be in the vfl next week and parish was far better then last week but there are a lot of plays he just jogs or walks and it’s the reason why guys like Durham are going past him in the team because they bring effort all the time not just occasionally

That’s fine but how is that relevant to a Seinfeld reference?

Laverde I can understand. Maybe Davey, but I say keep him in to keep developing. Give Goldy a rest.

When the opponent is there he pressures every time, young Hobbs doesn’t always…thats my issue. Had a bad one today, but we need to keep playing him as his go is wet footy & finals footy, thats when the going gets tough & he is tough & those type of games are coming

Fair point. I’d hope Perkins gets more time too.

Agreed, but today he just kept winning them so you couldn’t really take him out.
Game high 9 clearances, and Caldwell still played a great game.
Wouldn’t expect today’s split to continue, suspect it was just due to how well it was working.

Rest for Goldy.

Amazing how people are quick to pile on Kelly but not Redman.
Redmans lack of desire to chase and defend is deplorable. Yeah cool, he used to kick a flash goal once every 4-5 weeks. He’s primary role is to defend and he’s not dependable at it for a highly paid player this long in the system

Yeah Hobbs should be sent to the 2s not Heppell.
Would like to see Robert’s come into the side.
We need pace and blokes that can carry the ball and kick it with precision.
Hoobs is a panic merchant
Hobbs, Lav and Hind out. Just horrible today. Maybe Goldy for a rest.
Kelly should be out for the 2 50’s, but might be too many changes. Davey should be for the sherk, but he seemed busy at times and should be given a chance to redeem, he’s young.
In - Guelfi, Perkins and Hayes. Maybe Bryan for Goldy.

In our forward line there is a spot up for grabs and Davey has probably not seized the opportunity to take it with both hands. So I suspect Guelfi or even Shiel will be given a shot. Shiel was quite good playing forward early last year, so if he’s fit enough I’d put him in. He can play on ball as required which is an added bonus. In any case, I hope that we rest any of the midfielders who are even slightly at greater risk of injury, such as Parish who hasn’t been fully training. Tsatas, Shiel, Perkins and possibly Setterfield are all more than competent replacements.
Goldy/Draper has a rest and bring in Tsatas, give this kid a full game for freaks sake!!!

Stringer got preference because he’s the preferred matchup for Degoey.
I’d wager he’d be given priority when Reid’s in the midfield in the West Coast game.
Won’t be that way every week though. Depends on what matchups we’d prefer to see.

Would love Jayden Davey to bag 5 in the VFL…sadly, the entire team will be lucky to kick 5.

In: Perkins, Tsatas, Guelfi (sub)
