The sad part of it all is you could also throw out on that game Riewoldt. what the hell is the point of having three kpf's with two getting a lot of attention and the third is almost invisible apart from a few moments.

Thought Byron P Struggled big time but thats the only quiet game this year.

Ralphsmith well lets say i would not be surprised if he does get dropped.

Rioli is not a defenders arse hole.but has given a bit of hb.
Toung Dow tried hard but was down along with Short, Ross, Graham who was horrible imo, Baker who did stuff all in a half,

If it was purely a week to week basis based on the game played then a lot could get the arse. Thing is there are enough who just dont have it and a poor often enough to call for their heads.

For everyone and im gunna keep asking it. Will we win the flag this year ? If no then there is only one course of action we should be taking, especially with the age demographic of the list.

Mansell is tough and hard at it but can be a butcher by foot.

It’s not as black and white as that. Otherwise by that logic you’d have 10+ teams playing youth ahead of experienced players for the sake of it.

Mansell's like a short Will Thursfield crossed with a smarter & less manic Steve Morris.....

They're very odd ways to spell "Tarrant" and "Weideman".....

Hardly playing kids just two the rest have been around a bit wouldn't you agree.The logic in our case says the experienced players are poor and the younger blokes deserve a crack.
Either way theres hardly a lack of experienced players Gibcus is the only one at 19 in defence Miller and Mansell are 22.

Only RCD at age 22 in the midfield among a pile of 25yo to 32yo.

Just Ralphsmith in the fwd half with 22yo thru 33yo. plenty of experience there

LOL last time i looked there were 6 defenders named why you would pluck a big kpd to play on Fritsch is quite frankly bemusing.
Reckon as third tall and being so good in the air Gibcus would get the gig or failing that Broad.Tarrant will probably get McDonald and Miller will get Weiderman. If they Play Ben Brown then we may have to change.

The bottom line is no one is asking for a whole pile of kids get thrown in. And no one is asking for a team devoid of age experience.

Just on Baker Claw he has been down , but the question has to asked why have we moved him up forward when he was at home as a half back flank and playing great footy I can't understand  it ?.We got this obsession playing players out of position again same as Ross. Doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah we're playing 3 key forwards yet we hardly look dangerous the delivery is poor we know  , but there not leading not taking pack marks or creating havoc seems like a waste.My personal opinion Balta and Lynch work the best together.

[FooffooValve]

In: Lambert, Mansell, Soldo, RCD, Gibcus, McIntosh.
Out: Parker, Ralphsmith (inj), Riewoldt, Miller, Ross, Aarts.

If anything playing baker as a defender was playing him out of position since he came to us as a mid/fwd. So the obsession seemed to work out for that one…..

Out
Ross
Parker
Ralphsmith
Aarts - sub

In
McIntosh
Lambert
Stack
Mansell

If Cotchin het rubbed out. RCD in.

I like these changes TM as it gives us some more grunt around the contest from players that don’t mind the tough stuff.  The only way we get close to the Dees is if we pressure them for the whole game and don’t allow easy possession. It’s gonna be a tough game to win but not impossible if we are committed to that manic pressure all game.

Interesting to see if they’ll want to bring in Aarts considering the game he had in the VFL which was a really good game from him and they’d probably want to reward him for it.
Stack was excellent but have we seen enough of it this year to promote him off one great vfl game? Same goes with RCD as they might want to see more consistency over a number of weeks, who knows? 

Lambert has now had 2 quarters last week and 3 quarters on the weekend. They may want to give him 4 quarters for the next 2 week in the VFL before an AFL game to see how his body holds up. I suppose it all depends on how his body is coping with it, bring him in too soon and his season could be over before it started and we really need his two way running.
Soldo had a solid game in the twos and dominated the ruck taps all day but I’m not sure that many were effective. They might consider him for this week but I wouldn’t bring him in.

Mansell I would find a spot for sure and deserves his chance in the AFL again.
McIntosh comes straight in too.

I’m not sure Balta up forward is working as good as we thought and his pressure is the worst of all the forwards this year. Maybe move him down back for this game or he can follow Jackson around and curb his influence and in the process cause some mayhem of his own.

I wouldn’t be taking out any of our speedsters especially in the front half we are going to need them pressuring the likes of Landon, Jordon, Brayshaw, Bowie etc etc and make these blokes accountable by not allowing them to stroll out of defensive 50 without a care in the world.

There’s no way I’d be dropping Reiwoldt as some have suggested.

Played is best football in the back pocket by a mile for me we aren't simplifying it no more playing to our strengths.
