Doubts over Pickett (calf) and Lefau (knee).
Dusty was expected to be 'rested' given the 5-day break and so that he can play his 300th at the 'G in a fortnight's time, but do we have that luxury?
Fire away with your changes?
-
Gray in for Lefau for starters.... :shh
-
Outs: Martin / Pickett / Lefau
Ins: Blight / Gray / Bolton
Maybe give Nank the night off too.

I like it. I was impressed with Blight
But Prestia is due back next week.
So that's another in.

Out
Lefau
Pickett
McIntosh
Martin - rested
In
Blight
Prestia
Bolton
Banks

Banks was horrid in the VFL and is looking more like delist material with each passing week but will probably replace Pickett because the only other fit wing option in Coulthard was even worse.....neither of them are wingers though.... :help

Don't agree with him being delist material, ditto Coulthard
But do agree Banks was very poor yesterday. Shouldn't be promoted based on that performance
-
I forgot to add a fit Bauer should also be considered.

Although I prefer him as a forward he was good down back yesterday
Footy smarts and an elite kick
-
Bauer on the wing maybe? Does he have the tank -do we even have any true wingers left? At least he'd be a marking target down the line. I'd bring in Grey for Lefau & keep Balta down back where he belongs. Blight will get his chance at some point - Broad looks half cooked but he won't be dropped.... :shh
-
Bauer will provide us a marking target but he does look good down back. With Bauer and Noah forward with Ryan providing support, we have players who can clunk the ball, however the main issue is getting to the forward line in the first instance.
-
Out
Lefau
Pickett
Dusty rest
Nank rest
In
Gray
Prestia
Bolton
Blight
-
Unless one is Bauer and we play him on the wing we don't really need to bring in two talls for one out....one of Gray, Bauer or Blight in that order...prefer Balta stays down back and one of the first two can play forward....... :shh
-
Have to say I wasn't as impressed with Gray as I was with Blight
Gray was good but Blight was better IMV

Agree but reckon Gray has the higher ceiling of the two, Blight's not as good as Balta and we're replacing a forward not a back.... :shh
-
What about Bauer? When I kept flicking on he attacked the ball strongly and had quite a good leap on him!! If we were going to play Gray or blight may as well play Bauer?!

Id say he needs to get through 2-3 more vfl games before consideration

Seven in and seven out and all bar one can be easily justified.
Picking 5 younger blokes who you could also drop, Campbell, Ryan, Sonsie, Cumberland and Ralphsmith but that is not where we are at.
More experienced players need to be dropped before them based on form.
B: Vlastuin - Koschitzke - Miller
HB: Smith - Blight - Trezise
C: D Rioli - Sonsie - Broad/Smith/Trezise
R: Ryan - McAuliffe - Prestia
HF: Campbell - Balta - Cumberland
F: Bolton - Gray - Bauer
Int: Martin - Baker - Brown - Ralphsmith - Graham.
Ins
backline - Trezise, Blight, Koschitzke and smith starts at HB or wing
Mids - Prestia, Bolton with Dusty supposed to be rested playing mostly here from the bench.
Forwards - Gray, Bauer and Balta going fwd.
Outs
Defence - Short way way over due.Never to be seen again.
Mids - Dow (omit) , Nankervis Rested, McIntosh Omit, Pickett Inj.
Forwards - Mansell sheesh they have no idea at times, Lefau inj.
Moving Rioli and Broad up the ground allows us to play Trezise and Smith acroos hb in their best roles. Brown to the bench but would also like to see him given a running role just to see what he has to offer there.
-
Said Broad should be tried in the guts years ago but reckon that ship's sailed now...need to start playing the kids not named Dow there anyway...Martin will be rested next week so his 300th can be in Melbourne.....Graham should be dropped for anyone faster...probably Coulthard who's gone to shyte but has genuine pace and can at least kick.... :shh

Team Tips:
As if it couldn’t get any more horrific, Category B rookie and cult hero Mykelti Lefau went down last Saturday night with an ACL injury. In his absence, surely recruit Jacob Koschitzke will come back into the side with almost no one left for the picking. Teammate Marlion Pickett will also miss with a calf injury, with Dion Prestia his likely replacement after being managed last week. Heavy intrigue surrounds Dustin Martin, who will almost certainly be rested for Thursday night’s clash to allow him to play his 300th AFL game at the MCG against Hawthorn. Shai Bolton is set to return from concussion protocols, while Tim Taranto remains an outside chance of make an appearance back from a wrist injury. Noah Cumberland was quiet on Saturday night, but should hold his spot given the injury crisis.

Adelaide are pretty banged up at the moment- although nothing compared to us .
It’s actually a good time to be getting them .
-
Had a laugh reading the HUN yesterday and their VFL rap.
Said Kosi is up against it to get back on the AFL side as he again had no impact because didn't kick any goals
Bit hard to kick goals when you're playing at full back and when other backs a going forward and he's the designated back that's to stay back and protect the D50
But whatever :whistle
-
I'd bring Kosi in for a forward target next to Ryan.
Balta can stay down back.
-
Past couple of weeks have shown how much better we are with Balta in defence.
-
Don't know if anyone has noticed but the season is shot.It doesnt matter where we play Balta atm.
Last time i looked we just lost Lefau. No choice but to play Balta fwd for now. We have Kossie, and Blight to try in defense with Miller lets find out what they have to offer down back nothing to lose.
Give Nankervis a rest and play Ryan in the ruck people keep telling me he is the next big thing.
Better to have Balta Bauer and Gray play kpf they are all good movers than Ryan who lets face it is a dinosour and a liability as soon as the ball hits the ground allowing teams to run it out easily.
-
No thanks , l when they put him forward he struggles, and then loses confidence and surprise surprise , regains his best when moved back
I also would argue he is the player we should be building our backline around .
Still shaking my head , should have recruited van roots or Bazza .
-
I agree Claw, rest Nankervis.
-
7news last night said Bolton, Prestia and Taranto could be all back (with Lynch and Hopper back the following week).
-
Serious midfield bolster. Not sure where McAuliffe fits in unfortunately. Will probably be played out of position

I'd just drop Dow personally but that's me.
Surely a place for Kane if Bolton is forward.

Probably drop sonsie who’ll then go back to being the highest possession winner playing through the midfield in the VFL.

Unless they drop Dow, I think McAuliffe is going to be back in the magoos. Sad really as he is doing really well.
-
I would defs drop Dow before Kano.
-
McAuliffe must stay. Best way to fast track his development is for hm to play with the likes of Taranto and Prestia
I'd be giving Dow a rest (they wont of course)
Selection will certainly be interesting this week. Whatever they decided people wont be happy
-
Dropping McAuliffe instead of Dow to make way for Prestia would be like if we had dropped Martin instead of Adam Thomson to make way for Jackson in 2010...:propeller

I agree I’m just saying what the club will do
-
Going off the insta posts, Banks is flying over.
-
Blight is there too. Honestly what has banks done to deserve a game ? Most underwhelming season

The Tigers will regain gun midfielder Tim Taranto after a long absence, triple-premiership star and veteran Dion Prestia and the club’s best match-winner Shai Bolton, who has recovered from a concussion he sustained in the Dreamtime game.
Taranto has missed seven games after fracturing his wrist and requiring surgery. With Lynch, he is arguably the player that the Tigers have missed most amid a horror run of injuries.
