Lefaue needs to stay in . His confidence is growing . He competes , brings the ball to ground , TACKLES AND CAN KICK!! He won't be dropped!!

If he isn’t dropped, it’s moreso because we don’t have any viable options to replace him.

You may be right in that he competes if the ball is kicked in his direction, but he doesn’t seem to understand yet where to be without the ball. Maybe and hopefully that will come with more experience but at the moment, he just doesn’t have that understanding of the game.

Like to see him attend the the odd centre bounce with MRJ like they do in the VFL - especially when the oppos get on a roll and just start waltzing out with the ball - which happens far too often.... :shh

No way should they drop Lefau.

Replace him with who, Ryan?

Bloke needs more games.

100% agree with that. Get him in and Kosi to the VFL

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

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

Who has ever complained about lack of pace when it comes to any of our small fwds. Have certainly complained about the lack of just about anything else that goes with that pace. When will you ever learn you need more than pace and pressure to be a good forward.

LOL at the naivety You actually think  your love child Ryan along side Nankervis will be better than Naismith or even more mobile or be able to apply pressure  :o
By the way they are not going to drop Graham and probably not Dow. One had to go  I went with Dow .There are no other midfield options.

Take your pick MRJ or Mansell can't play both. if you think we  need two defensive forwards who only occasionally offer more than a bit of defensive chase   and offer  sweet stuff all else most of the time then you really aren't watching games. 
Every week we struggle to kick goals  and the smalls  are also part of the problem not that you could see it.

Yep gotta laugh 2 possesion a game ryan who is pushed around like a girl and is totally useless when the ball hits the ground instead of Naismith now that is hilarious.

You are all over the shop on one hand declaring hes a ruckman not a forward  then picking him in front of a better ruckman.
A ruckman that is actually performing well.

Your only option is Replace Lefau or Kosi  for Ryan as a forward, that is the epitomy of madness. replacing under performers with a bigger under performer and expecting a different result. We have actually got more out of Kosi he's the same age and Lefau who is just 3 games in than we have out of Ryan so far.

At least Naismith will contest in the air and give Nankervis a decent chop out at worst. Apart from Ryan there is no other choice and im going with Naismith.

As for Graham if its another mid there is no one else unless you drop him and play Dow. What a great choice that is.

You need to stop peeing in your own pocket and stop trying to pick holes in other peoples arguments when yours is so full of them :shh

In the mix, R5: Who's under the pump, pushing for selection?

Liam Baker will return from suspension, and if Thomson Dow isn't right after a minor ankle injury, it's a near-perfect swap. Last week's debutant Kane McAuliffe is also under an injury cloud with his own ankle concern, but if he's right to go, should play given his lively few minutes on the park. Dylan Grimes (wrist) is also a chance to feature, but with a trip to Perth and a young backline just starting to find their rhythm, is it the right game to return? Coach Adem Yze said post-match Jacob Koschitzke will "hold his spot", but the forward line remains a work in progress given the absence of Noah Balta and Tom Lynch. Samson Ryan and Sam Naismith can provide additional tall options, but would have to squeeze out a small, with Rhyan Mansell arguably the quietest of that group. The VFL team had a competition-wide bye due to the state representative game.
