Has Hardwick ever made more than two or three changes without it being forced upon because of injuries?
I can’t even remember him dropping players when we were getting thrashed.
Will he drop players who were putrid last week?
I doubt it because it’s not his style. Conca is a liability but won’t ever get dropped. Macintosh has been woeful but continually gets games, maybe he would be better suited in theforward line as a high flanker?
Butler was putrid in Adelaide but won’t get replaced. I’d bring in Stengle which will keep them both hungry, best performed plays finals simple.
BEllis should be on a wing but with Houli out we have to put up with him pootting himself and his opponent clicking four. If it were up to me he’d wouldn’t be in the team at all but I’d still rather see him on a wing and I’d tell him if he doesn’t kick it over 40 metres forwards each time he gets it he wouldn’t be playing next week. He should be kicking goals from outside 50 with that foot.
If you could combine all the best attributes of both Conca with BEllis you’d almost have an excellent player unfortunately we have what we have.
