So many who should be

Betcha they won't be

Who can we bring in?  It's the Blair & Francis list building but they haven't even laid the foundations yet because they bought the wrong cement.  :help

Butler, Broad, Castanga

Would rather lose blooding these than seeing Ellis B, Hunt, Moore getting games

In all seriousness, there should be wholesale changes this week.

I'd start with this

Outs- Hunt, Houli, BEllis, Chaplin, Hampson, Grigg, Astbury, Moore

Ins- Broad, Castagna, Miles, Batchelor, Maric, Short, Elton, McBean


And Vlastuin and Vickery are extremely lucky. Both had their worst games for a long time IMO.

Would like to see Moore get 1 more week where he is not expected (as a mid-fielder) to ruck against a behemoth due to the fact that the only alternative left was a 202cm 'skipping girl'. 

Out: Hunt, Astbury (inj), Hampson (inj), Vickery (scared)

In: Castagna, McBean, Maric,  Chol/Batch.

Moore was horrible even before Hamspud went off.

I'd be happy to see

Outs - Astbury, Chaplin, Hunt, Grigg, Moore, Hampson

Ins - Elton, bachelor, McBean, miles, Castagna, maric

I think some of these changes are very possible with the selection panel actually making some tough calls. Might see Deledio back too.

Edwards was only marginally better and if we condemned every player who didn't shine in their first game for the club where would we be.......don't answer that. I am confident that he will improve with more games under his belt.

Wake up you lot.

Out: Hampson & Astbury Injured

In: Maric & Batchelor/Morris

That will be it because we are on the cusp of stardom.. :snidegrin

He barely improved in 6 years at Port - why would he start now?

Last night Sideshow Bob was in the ruck against Nicnat at the centre bounce & he did the even contest, he literally just got out of the way with his arms shielding his face in terror.

It was awful.

Yep he was embarrassing in the ruck, actually made me embarrassed for ever thinking he could be a ruckman.

FHO! he and griff are both shitmen and not the future

Yeah putting him on ball was my last hope for Vickery.....but a side can't carry that shyte in the ruck...when a bloke has you wishing Hamspud could get back on the field he's in trouble....
