Out

Happy for Miles to play at the expense of McIntosh.

Not ready yet imo especially off a 5 day break - needs another week

Miles in, Conca to wing - McIntosh out.
Stengle/Castagna in - Higgins out.

George in for Higgins
Miles in for Conca (must reward Miles efforts)

I think the beauty of having players in our twos ready to step up is we can rotate players even this time of the season to keep guys fresh but more importantly hungry.

Conca out (or Ellis/Higgins) doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t good enough, it simply means
we can see others in their roll, and give these guys a rest. It’s a long year.

The other position I would like to see experimented with is Griggs. Could Bolta come in and play a similar roll with the help of a few others?? Could Caddy play that roll and we bring in another manic pressure player??
Grigg isn’t even going up in the ruck these days, he is basically just another midfielder (but slow) that isn’t great at the most important thing in our game style-pressure.

Regardless of who is in or out, I’m enjoying this season immensely, especially knowing we haven’t even played close to our best footy yet.

Conca out after 26 disposals and 7 tackles?
Think everyone being very kind to Lambert. Horribly out of form the last 2 weeks. Injured or needing a rest?

While I agree Kane's been down, it's been suggested he's missing Prestia taking a lot of the load.
That's why I want to see Miles in rather than simply dropping Lambert.
We need more grunt in the middle, especially while Martin is not getting much time in the guts.

This could work should Graham be rested or demoted.

Those wanting Conca dropped are off their chops!!

Would rest McIntosh & Graham for Miles & C Ellis.  Good to start rotating these younger lads.

Prestia can come back through the 2's now.

CEllis needs to string together at least half a dozen matches of genuine quality before he's even remotely considered again....and if & when he does back come in  played on ball not off half back....would play Baker& Miles in that order before him.... :shh

Conca was in our top three.

Anyone who says otherwise can go stub their toe on a couch.

He wasn't top 3 and I'm more impartial with him.

Players better than him were:
Edwards
Caddy
Short
Nankervis
Dusty

Despite how well Baker may be going at VFL level, he is no chance to play this year
