^Actually agree with all of that although with both Castagna and butler deservedly dropped, maybe we need baker to come in.

Very good going off the 2 half games I have seen.
He looked a class above at VFL level.
Deserves Butler’s spot IMO.

I'm a Butler fan but he needs to be dropped as he has been worse than putrid.... :whistle
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Bolton deserves another crack before Kenny Baker the Cut Price Higgins...been killing it in the twos so far this year.....finally getting more time on ball now as well and looking very good there too... :shh

Prefer either of them to Dumb Waiter & Cantkickit though.... :shh :shh

Didn’t you use to dub baker as the next Zorko?

I believe I called him a "Zorko-like bargain" after a match against Coburg last year.......abdyou seem to presume "Cut Price Higgins" is some kind of insult...... :shh

It probably won't happen but I would love to see some significant changes made this week. I see no harm in taking such an approach this week.

Out: Cotch(injured), Martin(suspended), Short(injured), Ellis, Butler, George
In: Caddy, Ross, Houli, Bolton, Townsend and Grimes

Both have been crud and deserve to be dropped.

Butler does some nice things and is a gun when in form. 

Castagna has never really been good.
