Does anyone really think we will make more than 1 or 2 changes?
Have we done that at all this year, without suspension and injuries?

It just shows we have noone else of any quality for his role
nah that club is finished.
No worries 6, to be fair, the whole performance was pretty tragic.

Kind of annoying how much will be made of the teams coming off a bye this week given that nobody has won when versing a non-bye team.
Will give them added focus/incentive

If Scott isnât going to risk players then youâd think Draper & Shiel are very unlikely, and Zerk has to be in some doubt also. If thats the case Id like to see;-
Out: Kelly, BZT, Weideman, Snelling (SUB)

Stringer and Hobbs to rotate centre clearances should provide lots of grunt

Menzie should never been dropped out the 22. I was quite bemused we made our only genuine small forward the sub

Voss - simply must play! 2.4 and some didnât make the distance BUT he does get the ball, tackle and is competitive. Weid on tbe other hand?

Would prefer Wanga as Sub.
To me Snelling & Guelfi are to similar and you can only afford to play one.

Really hope the selectors recognised our lack of run and dare off halfback without Hind on Saturday. Heck, even Markov gets a game at Collingwood for purely that reason and he wouldnât be one of their top 25-30 players on the list. Iâd like to see Snelling or Guelfi given the role of tagging Houston off half back. His kicking is first class.
These are the winter slog months now. Playing games in 11-12 degree temperatures with the deck either greasy or wet and with that cumulative physical effect of the season being felt in the body.
I do wonder how well our comparatively slighter, smaller framed guys will hold up over this next month or two where the hits sting you that bit more and a lack of strength over the ball or in the contest gets shown up more.
i think snellingâs gut running ability has been important to the structure and itâs letting us be flexible with how we use martin. Guelfi is struggling for form IMO and looked sore by the end on the weekend. I wouldnât be opposed to seeing guelfi string a few games together in the vfl to find some touch.
i think pushing hepp up to a wing if we want to retain kelly should be looked at. Hepps form is much much better at the moment thn earlier in the year and he could actually help us at ground level contests a bit. then we get to bring in another runner for the backline rotation.
i am inclined to drop weed for a small and keep bryan and phillips but iâll be suprised if scott sees it that way. i think heâs more likely to drop bryan.
out: weed guelfi

Thinking on it this morning, i donât see the point pf two rucks with wright back. It makes us slow. Add to that, menzie was on the ground longer than Bryan against freo and thatâs coming on as sub near the end of the third.
Therefore, proposing we drop Bryan for Voss, which enables us to put Wright into the ruck and stillbe tall up front while also giving us more flex to move The Langford up the ground if needed.
Kelly for hind to get some speed back into defence
Snelling to sub
This is the one week we need to try and take advantage of Wrightâs height in the forward line. Donât want him spending time in the ruck. If Langford can play a similar role to what he played against Aliir last time we met, that will hold us in good stead.
Please just donât pick Kelly. He tips the balance over in terms of us becoming too dour back there.
