5 Changes is always risky but ...

[Tiger Khosh]

Nice little rest for nank, would have kept Towner in - think he’ll be important come finals time. Rough for Lloyd to be dropped after a decent game last week but can’t argue with the ins 

[Diocletian]

Reckon we could've afforded to give Prestia, Houli, Graham & Broad another week off..  Only Gold Coast FFS.

Soldo's a dud

Soldo's a dud.   

Presti needs games into him, as does Graham

[Diocletian]

We also need them not injuring themselves again just a month out from finals because they came back too early to play a shytetruck side our VFL side could probably beat easily.

[eliminator]

Need to be cautious with Nank. Hope Soldo plays okay. Agree with putting in a strong team against Suns. Need to build momentum.

It is only the Suns but the record of teams winning after 5 changes isn’t that good...

[1965]

5 Changes and win by 100 points and we scare the pants of the opposition.

strong side. prestia and graham are both massive ins. completely change our midfield dynamic

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Anyone else thing Lloyd was a bit stiff. Thought he was just about in our top 10 last week.

[Eat_em_Alive]

I'm not concerned that we have 5 changes. The suns have 6 fwiw
We will do enough to win this

[big tone]

It’s does seem a bit stupid to play Houli after half a VFL game, Graham who has been out for 4 or 5 with a shoulder and Prestia after the year he has had with his body, especially against the Suns.
Play them all for a half in the VFL and then another full week on the track and look to the Bombers
game.

We also drop Townsend and don’t replace him with a midsized forward after not being able to take a mark in our forwardline last week.
