Good to see Dyl has been able to fightback and ‘regain’ his spot after last weeks axing.

Not that it will get down there much but no way we can kick a winning score with that forward line.

Shiel straight back in the middle.

I know, I know, named team doesn’t actually line up like that, but still ffs.

No wonder we don’t develop our players well. Baldwin got the first game of the season and then got dropped. Six weeks later he gets two and then dropped. And we replace him with a ruckman.

The team they’ve selected is about as unbalanced as any I’ve seen.

Good to see Dylan has learnt his lesson by sitting out a half of football

Has Francis even played any football in the past few weeks? Yet he is named as an emergency

Had to fill up the team sheet somehow or other

I don’t quite agree.

Defending is a state of mind, I think the embarrassment of sitting there as sub might be enough to shake him.

I’m not a fan of his, but I’m interested to see how he responds.

If he doesn’t, the next step is a longer stint on the sidelines, perhaps when we have more players to
pick from.

Didn’t help him last week, despite playing half a game he was still putting in half hearted jogging efforts in defensive transition.

At the very least he shouldn’t have gotten 18 CBAs when he was coming in to replace a wingman

I hope Ridley plays true key position again.
Did a ripper job on Naughton.

We just won’t score enough points.

We aren’t winning this game.

this could quite possibly be the worst forward line we have named
