Official round 22 team vs Dockers

[Beans]

Soldo out, Graham in, and Townsend a replacement for Caddy because that role is exactly what he has been doing in the twos

[pmac21]

Just had a look at the snapshot and we can't beat them at the G but been successful at Domain stadium.
If Harley Bennell kicks the winning goal that will be it for me,....ha ha

Tigers by 12 goals

[Simonator]

Had a dream Ben Lennon kicked the opener

[eliminator]

On AFL website saying

"Docker blow

Fremantle has been forced to withdraw forward Shane Kersten for Sunday's clash against Richmond due to a groin injury.

 

Veteran defender Garrick Ibbotson has come into the Dockers' 25-man squad.

 

Final teams for Sunday's games will be named at 5pm AEST."

[the claw]

reckon we could have made 8 changes and all for the better.
Would have liked to see at least 6 though.
Out - Castagna - B Ellis - C Ellis- Houli - Grigg - Soldo -  Caddy.
Ins - Bolton - Markov - Miles -  Moore  - Graham - elton-   Townsend or Lennon

Butler, Rioli, McIntosh, and Edwards   could all just as easily be in the gun imo.
Houli and B Ellis gone never to be seen again besides how many sml med defenders do we need in the one team. Vlastuin, Broad, Grimes, McIntosh  there is no need for the two weak pricks.

Castagna has been poor swap him for Bolton.
Markov  for the girls blouse B Ellis. 
C Ellis is no where near it give a genuinely better inside mid the gig in miles.
Bring in a badly needed tall fwd for a small defender  that we dont need and have too many of. Moore for Houli.
Bring in a ball winning mid who aint soft and works both ways for another weak prick in Grigg.
Elton for Soldo allowing nankervis to go back to what he does best and we play a genuine tall fwd who can give a chop out in ruck.
Townsend or Lennon for the injured Caddy townsend would give us a midfield option and i prefer to play the three smalls in the fwd half.

FB: Grimes - Astbury - Vlastuin
HB: Markov - Rance - Broad

R: Nankervis - Cotchin - Prestia
C: McIntosh - Martin - Lambert

HF: Butler - Riewoldt - Rioli
FF: Bolton - Moore - Townsend or Lennon

Int: Miles - Graham - Edwards - Elton.

[Simonator]

Graham Townsend and markov all in for soldo c Ellis and caddy.

Like the changes

[Simonator]

Lennon must be gone though

[pmac21]

Yeah Lennon and Miles will be gone at year's end.  A shame as they have something to offer.  Hope they stay on.

Have to wonder if Halfstep's actually just being malicious towards Lennon now....

Beyond logic. And no explanation from the club.

One naturally begins to speculate about a high draft pick kcking bags but keeps being overlooked

I'm not a massive wrap for Lennon but it seems like he was exactly what we missed and Geelong had last week. Not sure why we wouldn't give him a go given our woes in front of goal
