Conca and Graham are struggling
As is Higgins
We never make wholesale changes but if we are are going to lose the unloserable game , it’s next week if we don’t make changes

I reckon McIntosh needs to go.

His defensive effort in the last qtr that lead to Gresham's 6th goal was lamentable. I know the pressure was off and we had one, but that is not what this Tiger's team is about.

I reckon his effort in the 1st with  him against 4 is what the coaches would be rapted in. Outside of what you've mentioned when the game was done. It was his best game in a while

Anyways....

I believe Jack will play so....

INS: Castagna, Rioli (just reckon they will roll the dice), Grimes

OUTS: BEllis, Menadue, Moore

Stengle and C Ellis should be in the mix. Moore may be replaced by Townsend. Garthwaite should have played instead of Conca against the saints. Drop Conca, Higgins and Menadue. Hopefully George, Grimes and Jack can play.

jack wont play.

we need to find a forward and fast. Moore is not that person, not even close
Jack chaired Grigg off the ground at the end of the game. You wouldn't think the club docs would allow him to do that if he was still suffering the effects of concussion. Here's hoping he plays next week  :pray.

Jack chaired Grigg because they hoped the effects of concussion would lead to him dropping Grigg
“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.

Ok if that's the case

Add Houli to the outs and Townsend to the ins

And BTW Higgins lucky

Houli inj Moore . Menadue and Higgins out
Ins .Georgie . Grimes .Stengle and Rioli
Pressure has been down last few weeks so
Rioli might be considered
Jack Graham would need to extract the digit very very soon I reckon

Graham won't be dropped. He is given the shutting down assignment by Dimma each week. He has been good rather than great at it. Opponents have been getting plenty of possessions but they are always under the hammer and rarely do anything destructive with their possessions so he stays. Not many of our players can run with others. Graham can.

Here's my two cents worth

In Grimes, Castagna, C Ellis

Outs, Houli, Moore, Higgins

Keep Menadue for his speed and he needs a few weeks at the level to get used to it.  Higgins looks a little out of it and could use some vfl time. 

It's going to be wet so go smaller and pressure the bombers so they have no space. 

If reiwoldt doesn't come up, keep Moore in.

Also Rioli probably needs a few weeks in the vfl and after the bye for him.
