Changes for next week?

[one-eyed]

Fire away  .

[WilliamPowell]

I'd make a few but I don't think there will be any

Reckon Dimma will back them all in this week

 

[Diocletian]

Don't reckon we'd miss any of  Houli, Stack, Lambert, McIntosh, Short, Broad or Baker at this stage.... get Dow RCD, Balta & Chol in..hell, would even give Aarts a crack .... time to inject some youth & enthusiasm....

[Tigeritis™©®]

Outs: 
Riewoldt (it’s time).
Ross (turns it over often - only Riewoldt was worse and gives no pressure)
McIntosh (finally gets a game back and gives nothing)
Stack (has forgotten how tough he used to be where has it gone?)

Ins:
Balta (give him a run of games)
Naish (give him a run of games)
Dow (we need an extractor that wins the ball)
Graham (we missed his toughness)

[The Machine]

So many are well down where would one start.
Nank and Short the only ones who looked like it today.
The midfield is being smashed and if Ross plays future games it must be as an inside mid only... not on the halfback with his disposal!

[The Machine]

No wonder we are struggling with the following way out of form:
Prestia
Martin
Riewoldt
Cotchin
Edwards
Castagna
Rioli
Caddy
Lambert
Graham
Pickett
Stack

[crackertiger]

Out: Cotchin.

When you are the captain you are meant to lead the way with your gut busting effort.. He has been spectating the contest at times which sets the standards for others. When the captain is in cruise mode we are in very big trouble. I know I will be slamed hard for this statement but I'm telling you this is a leadership "effort" problem. Half efforts to redeem yourself when the game is cooked don't cut it when you have been smashed by a D grade midfield. Hardwick knows and touched on it tonight in his presser. Rockstars that cannot be bothered.

The leaders...

[Fluffy Tiger]

Many out but Stack must be the First. Seems to have forgotten how to play hard.

Totally wrong re Cotchin

[Simonator]

So many players out form must mean something else is going on imo.
Whether it's a tweak of strategy or lack of motivation ( which I don't buy) whatever, I don't know. But to me, a premiership team like this doesn't just lose their chemistry like this. Everything is poor

[Lozza]

To me the players just look exhausted and flat. Dusty doesn't even seem to have the same hunger and has had very little if any impact. We usually see that competitive nature from him but it's like he can't really be bothered. He certainly has the runs on the board and certainly not blaming him alone but his demeanor is certainly mirrored by a few other usually good contributors who have been similarly unsighted with zero impact.

We virtually have no players in form, sounds like the bad patch we had last season, difference being we had players out, we virtually have a full list to choose from this time. Maybe an injection of some enthusiasm might help.

You keep telling yourself that Chuck. There have been multiple occassions over the last few weeks where his efforts have been way off the mark. Then suddenly to save face he does random burst efforts to redeem himself. As Captain he sets the standard for the whole team and for the whole game. If it's ok for him to cruise around during periods of the game then the others will follow his level of output. A Dual premiership Captain yes and thank you Cotch. But clearly the hunger and effort is now gone.

[Knighter]

I’m hearing some key players have spat it about the $ they have lost. Selfish
