INS: Cotchin, Prestia, Astbury, Townsend

OUTS: Lloyd, Baker, Garthwaite, Grigg (just too slow & we need speed) or Conca

You say Grigga is too slow and we need speed but then go on to replace him with another slow player.... He is absolutely no chance of being dropped and has honestly had a good year and earned his spot.

Grigg is a very smart footballer. I actually think he's improved in the latter stages of his career.... :shh
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Might be an idea then to actually replace Grigg with a quick player....just sayin'.... :shh

Based on what I saw of the dogs today we could afford to rest another 2-3 players and still win by 40+ points.

Put Townsend -v- Grigg in 100 metre sprint and i know who'd win

Also, Townsend's tackles stick, Grigg's do not

Towner, can do the 2nd ruck job and will actually make a contest at each contest. Grigg is no longer doing this. Have a look at the Bellchambers' goal in the last and you'll get the picture

While your first line may be true, it ain't out about the 100m sprint. It's about knowing where to go, getting to the right spots & getting the footy in your hands. Grigga still does this better than Towner ever has. Partially because Towner plays inside & Grigg does a bit of inside/outside work :shh

I have never seen Towner play 2nd ruck & I don't want to change the structure of the side with 1 game to go just to find out if you're correct :shh
