Banks has done SFA in his games. He needs form in vfl.

In his presser Yze said both McAuliffe and Dow should be right for this week

Can't drop Lefau. He competes and is tougher than Kosi. Both will have to keep their spots unfortunately.

I'd consider just moving on KMac now and using Pickett as the sub to get him to 100 in case his children become prodigies. He's actually not a bad option for sub anyway.

While I understand your point around Kmac and Piclett Andyy I reckon until the find someone who has the tank that can clock up 14+ kms a game then they stay or at least one of them stays. Right now for me at least Pickett is the one I'd drop he was awful yesterday and some of his selfish acts cost us at least 2 shots at goal ...

Honest question, do we have beep test results on them all or similar?

I know some players are known for their tanks, otherwise all we have is time trial results.

I saw after the Swans game that KMac clocked up the most Kms around 14.5km next best was Ross and Taranto.

Though can't remember 100% where I saw it but might have been on the platform formerly known as twitter

Wingman need to be able to cover a lot of territory these days and most are bigger bodies as well not sure who've got right at the minute who can do it

Do not play blokes who either won't compete or cannot compete Physically. Banks  while he has some real attributes i like, is not ready for AFL footy atm. Same for Ryan when he can stop being pushed around like a girl then maybe he will be ready.

Who would i give a go to. McAuliffe if fit. Smith of a hbf instead of Banks. Naismith Instead of Ryan or Koschitzke.

We have hb flankers a plenty Why are people and the club  so adverse to playing the likes of Rioli or Broad on a wing.We could even play Brown there. When Fit Trezise could play there. We could free up Bolton on a wing and if he has the tank try and free up Sonsie there.

The trouble is we just refuse to even look outside the box and continue to go with inadequate wingers who offer practically nothing offensively..

Solid lineup. Would like to see Smith play a few more games at VFL level and i would drop Lefau. Naismith at FF might just work and Kosi CHF. I do like the idea of Rioli on the wing.

LMAO @ dropping MRJ ....then will be the first to bitch about our lack of defensive pressure....and Naismith & Nankervis in the same side with Graham...clearly we're still not slow enough for some people....:joker :propeller :joker

Lefau has to go out. Needs to spend 3 to 4 weeks at VFL level learning how to contest...

Play Naismith instead.

Agree
He’s currently bordering on useless

He’s very skilled at running to where the ball isn’t
