I dont get it while im all for playing kids it doesnt matter who comes in we should field a team that allows those coming in to at least compete.

Astbury Grimes Vlastuin with Stack Mansell and Miller is about as good as we can do. Yet we drop Mansell on the pretext of injury id say.

Geez a midfield  with out Cotchin, Martin, Lambert Edwards  Prestia and Nankervis thats just setting what young mids we play up for a hiding.
None in al likely hood are injured and under differing circumstances would play.

Ah well its good Martyn, Ross, RCD and Miller get a go and its good to see a backline with two genuine KPD'S in it. I reckon those three mids though are on a hiding to nothing.

Josh Caddy steal Dimmas new Mrs? I know he's been ordinary the last 12 months but stuff me he'd have to be off at seasons end. Probably get a can of coke for him at this point and that's being optimistic

[Andyy]

Dunno why they bothered dropping Mansell, Ralph or Rioli.

The dinosaurs I get it.

Good to see they finally brought in Miller. Would have kept in Ralph and Rioli. Can't see the point in dropping them for last game of year.

[WilliamPowell]

Happy with those changes 

[pmac21]

The followers line makes a statement. I like it but play them there most of the game, see what they can do.

Yup would have kept them in over Pickett and Castagna. They probably wanted to bring in some experience to balance out all the kids they are playing.
