shiel will be in. surely he’s a better option than menzie. shiel is a whipping boy for some reasons but surely he’s better than menzie

Like most I didn’t have this down as a win
But that last half was appalling
Droping Kelly failed
One ruckman
Menzies out
Caddy in
I don’t think we can play extra tall forward (caddy) if we play 2 rucks. Jones played very very well as a lead up winger high hff so he can’t make way for caddy.
2mp started to look threatening yesterday , you got stringer and Jones . I don’t see how caddy fits at this time .
we need the experience players in for this game . had we have beaten the cats and consolidated out ladder position better , you could build the case for caddy .
I think draper and Goldy have us grunt at clearances and works well as both are good clearance players to boot. draper is also dangerous dropping forward

@Stallion is right, this list is farking boring.
In: Shiel, Caddy, Hobbs, Kelly
Out: Perkins, Menzie, Goldstein, Heppell
Can’t believe we don’t have a natural replacement for Laverde and Wright. Cannon them both.

No he isn’t.

We certainly cannot play all of Draper, Goldstein and Wright. One needs to go - Wright is the chosen one for me.

We do but Baldwin is injured and there is potentially Reid (if he can ever get on the field). Caddy has potential and maybe Hunter (if he can ever get on the field).
No changes for mine.
Why? Yeah Draper was bang average last night but unsurprisingly it came when he was taken off solo ruck duties having played well last week.
Goldy isn’t going around next year and we ain’t winning the flag this year.
There is literally no point giving goldy games now.

Should only be playing the 1 ruckman.
Play Goldstein when we play at the G. And draper when we play at marvel
No point making changes.
They will slice us up on the outside. We will leave the corridor wide open and allow them a paddock to run into their forward line.
Our defenders will also choose the wrong option and not proect the defensive side.

We’re absolute garbage from June onwards

Our mids look tired - over the last 4 to 6 weeks we’ve asked a lot of Bull Durham and Caldwell. They’ve played out of their skins but I’m not sure it’s sustainable.
Junior being tagged is now inevitable and when he’s held we rely on both Durham and Caldwell as inside/outside mids. Add to that Stringer and Perkins who are more contest mids.
Look at the game against WC, Ryan tore us a new one with pace.
The type of player we really need (unpopular) is Shiel. When Junior is tagged and the other mids are fatiguing, we lack the burst player/s.
I’d like to see both Shiel and Tsatas come in for Perkins and Hind.
Menzie needs to give way for Kelly
The biggest area we need to shake up though is the forwards - after the first quarter none of Langford or Stringer gave a yelp and we had nothing from Gresh, Hind and Guelfi. Problem is who else do we turn to? Menzie is preferred back recently and the Davey twins and Wanganeen are not demanding a spot based on VFL form.
On the end I’d roll the dice like this;
Out: Perkins, Hind, Menzie,Hepp
In: Shiel, Tsatas (and actually play him mid), Kelly, J Davey (give him a shot)

Pity Weideman is suspended.
He’d fit in perfectly based on last night’s performance.
