Changes for next week against the Bombers?

A rare week this year where we've got through unscathed.

Fire away with your changes, if any?

Naish, Butler, Townsend & Rioli would be the ones considered but it's hard to see who they will replace. Menadue and Castagna probably the ones under greatest threat in terms of like-for-like swaps. I thought Broad's first half was ordinary but he ended up at the end with 20 disposals.

Ins: Rioli


Broad was better today after a slow start.

Baker, Bolton and Castagna were quiet today.

I’d expect Rioli to come back in so 1 of those 3 or Menadue would be the likely outs.

Other than that no changes.

Might be time to give young turbo a rest. Better today but he looks tired

INS: Rioli

OUTS: Baker

Would love to see Townsend in too but not sure who he'd replace.

But Towner crashing through some of those timid Bumbling Bombers would be brilliant

Was Rioli that good today in the twos? First hand reports he wasn’t anything special.

I don’t think there’s anyone I could drop really. Wouldn’t wanna lose your spot at this stage in the team.

In: Would be fine with any of the aforementioned.

Out: Someone unlucky. Higgins and Baker did enough for mine.

I thought Broad was great last week and just as solid this week?

Probably Higgins best game of the year.

This week will tell us a fair bit about where the club sees Menadue fitting in in the future.

I thought he was pretty good against Freo, and showed a bit today although today he still had some Menadue Moments.

If he gets dropped, then I think his papers are stamped.

If Rioli is fit he will come in for Dreamtime game.

Rioli will be in no doubt, for me I would drop Higgins.
He is not the worst, but Baker is too inventive and keen to be dropped. If they drop Bolton that would be ridiculous

Rioli or Butler in for Baker. Baker was ordinary in key passages of play. Baker shouldnt hold his place.

Menadue out for me.

Everyone else did enough but a few are lucky it's a win.

Baker and Castagna weren't great but they were alright. Same with Bolton. Broad came good and was very solid imo.

Menadue shouldnt be dropped before Baker. Baker was real ordinary.

There's no way Rioli isn't playing Dream Time so I would say Baker for Rioli the only change.  It could be Castagna also but form has been reasonable (other then his brain fades)   

Based on the 2's game it probably should be Butler or Naish but it won't be.
