Gee i thought grigg was awful today, if we dropped him who would come in?

Grigg and Houli both were woeful. Both deserve to be dropped but won't be. Grigg's disposal definitely cost us goals yesterday.

Houli is our massive go to player, and his decision making is not up to it IMO.
Grigg is slow and tends to stop the fast play options. I think we should be looking at replacing these 2 in the off season but who would their replacements be OR who could stand up to fill their spots. Is Short a Houli type option?

Graham replaces Grigg. Markov replaces Houli. Short for Broad.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Id keep Broad, think hes good value and will get better as he settles in.

Watching the game yesterday it was obvious the 2 biggest momentum killers were Grigg and Houli - after a solid start to the season Grigg has reverted back to status quo over the past 3 weeks. Any two of Menadue, short, mrakov, Graham to replace them and I'd be happy

What does houli have that short doesn't ?

Short can atleast kick on his opposite so when the opposition does pressure him he doesn't have to handball to a team mate under pressure

You can't drop Soldo after his game, was solid and we will need him against Smith this week. 
I also think Broad's inclusion is helping Grimes be more offensive so would keep him in also.

Out Corey Ellis I am sorry to say.  If it's dry maybe Miles out.

The only out for me is Houli, Jack back in.

What should happen:

Out: Miles, Soldo, Houli, Castagna, Grigg

In: Graham. Riewoldt, Short, Menadue, Lennon/Townsend



What will happen:

Out: Soldo

In: Riewoldt

Had miles kicked those 2 goals I'd disagree. But looks likely.
Maybe soldo for jack.
Out of all the fumbles, missed targets and drop offs of effort, by far the angriest I got today was when Miles got caught in the goal square.
He is an AFL footballer and should be 1000% better than that.
Not good enough.

Smith isn't some elite ruckman. The way nankervis is playing he definitely would be beating Smith.

We don't need Soldo I'd bring in another small forward with Jack. Either Bolton or Stengle.

Broad has been good, has slotted in well, would be cruel to throw him out now.
