All of stack, rioli, castagna and aarts are in poor form. Honestly wouldn’t know who to drop out of the lot of them. Probably george since he’s been poorest for longest.

Soldo was poor but atleast got involved whereas Chol was mostly anonymous. I wouldn’t play nank as no.1 ruck against nicnat in his first game back. Think you need to give him a couple as second ruck before you then look at the benefits between chol v soldo.

Who ever mentioned Graham what game were you watching was our best now needs to back it up weekly not once a month.George has to go simple as that.Broad and Nank in as well as Caddy.

Graham was ordinary. How many soft free kicks does he give away for holding? He is so slow he needs to scrap his opponent. Some of his passes were good but has been a liability around the contest this year

Your thoughts on Graham’s game is made up before a ball is even bounced.

 Yep.

The favoritism / whipping boyism on this site is out of hand.

Soldo has to play against Natanui.  He smashes Nank out of the middle. 
I think Caddy comes in for either Castagna or Aarts. 
Stack for Higgins.

Broad should come back in- Castagna makes way for mine.
Baker to play small forward and he has all the skills required to excel in this position. Rioli, Stack and Baker small forwards. Broad slots back into the backline.
Baker is so clean and neat by foot he could be our answer up forward for the rest of the year.

Good question. Does Chol play forward all game? Probably not due to our need for someone to compete the whole game in the air. Could Caddy play the role? Complete in the air and don't allow their guys to pick the high ball off. Shame CCJ is injured as he could come in should Lynch not be available. What other option do we have.
Broad to play back and send Balta forward for a game?

Would be loathed to move Balta forward, even for just one game

He is going so well down there. And this week is another great challenge for him against either Kennedy or Darling want to see how he goes

Stack in doubt apparently.

Syd was shown on Ch10 news with a sore right side/abdomen at training today and barely did anything.

Didn't the club say Cotchin won't play three games in a row? :shh

That was in relation to the first footy frenzy when we had a four day break and had to fly to Adelaide to play Port.

Cotch on MMM just now:

If Nank doesn't play this week then it will be in the next week or two.
Astbury was moving well at training today.
Caddy in good form in the scratch matches.

I think now we know more the following will happen.
In Nank - Caddy - Higgins - Broad
Out Chol - Stack - Aarts - Castagna

Lot of changes but good ins.
