Changes for the Freo game next week?

One forced exclusion with Floss out with a shoulder.

Nanks available after suspension.


Fire away with your changes ...

Think our small forwards need a rest Castagna looks a bit tired. I'd like Lennon in, he provides a contest which is what we are picking Elton for (which I agree with, but he's just no good unfortunately). Dogs let Elton free multiple times to double team Jack and it didn't hurt them. Need someone up there that is going to hurt opposition on scoreboard.

Out: Ellis, Vlaustin, Soldo
In: Prestia, Nank, Lennon
Go Tigers!

I still reckon the guy from Franga is better at the minute than the spoilt brat from Nothern Knights.

Who wants senior selection more? I'd give lloyd another crack.

Prestia won't play or at least very unlikely

OUTS: Vlastuin, Castagna, Elton

INS: Nankervis, Lennon, Bolton

Ellis C and Ellis B survive solely because of the Vlastuin injury. I'd keep Solo in, think against Freo and Sandiliands playing 2 rucks makes sense

Like the Bolton selection. I don't like the idea of not having a 2nd tall forward, we did that against Adelaide and worked out pretty quick the long balls go to Jack and can double team him. Sandi will monster Elton and Soldo. May as well play Elton and use his small use of marking a contest up forward.

Nank can play FF (2nd tall) so I think this works :thumbsup

I'd like to think the days of dropping a kid after one game are over. I'd like Cellis another couple of games to see how he goes
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Outs- Houli, BEllis, Vlastuin- big loss structurally

Ins- Nank, Lloyd, Stengle (upgrade this kid, more ready than Bolton imo)

Every week we play 2 short playing Houli and BEllis. It would be nice to have 18 v 18 at some stage this year.
Through in Astbury as another defender that does more harm than good and it just shows how good Rance and Grimes are. 

Backline of

Short  Rance  Grimes
Markov  McIntosh CEllis

The only thing surer of them not being outs is your call every week for them to be outs

What do you think of those two?

I think their intensity at the contest is better this year but for me I could do without both

 BEllis for Garthwaite....Ellis is useless as a HBF. Garth can play small/tall and is tough!
Vlaustin for Bolton....Watch this kid set us alight.
Castagna for  Stengle.....This boy is skilled and clean by hand/foot.

Nank has to come in and can play as a forward so It would seem that Elton will have to make way for him. Soldo was very impressive in his first game.
