Plod city
What does this show: This selection panel has a long term plan, and they are not panicking, and will not make major changes, but will reward excellent form in the 2s as is right and proper.
The big changes will come when injuries hit us. Thats a bit of a lottery.
How are these changes at all surprising?
Langford dropped would be the only possible surprise?
Not happy: Jan
Not Happy: Andrew?
The Polk for McKenna is an interesting idea. Was brilliant up forward in the VFL prelim.
BORING
Top up city
The debacle with our soft young mids in Q1 Anzac day means hard bodies like Polk and Crowley and Simkin on the outside are not such a bad idea. These big games are not a training drill, its fully game on from the first bounce.
Not sure why people have trouble understanding the concept of ‘reward good form in the 2’s’.
Having to work for your place in the side is part of development for the young ones. You don’t get better by playing badly.
And also - if you wear our jumper - you’re a farkin Bomber ffs.

I know. I have a lot of love for Mason Redman. ( better keep me away from the club then ) I hope I am not alone, I think Mason Redman really shows something, but its early days.
