Grimes will be an enforced out.

Fire away with your changes?

I hope they don't reward the team for winning and make minimal changes, by which I mean Ross was quiet. Edwards might make a call himself but I think it's unlikely--and Dimma would never drop him. Martin still a week or two away apparently.

In: Gibcus MRJ

Out Grimes Ross

I agree with others that we need a bit more pace in the side, but not sure who to bring in. Also not sure who drops to the 2s when Dusty returns for finals.  :whistle

Pickett and McIntosh were really ordinary today. Id drop one of them and put in a kid.

I dunno, our wingers are two of the first names on the team sheet for me at present. One area where we don't have a problem so far imo.

Pickett I’d agree. Was pretty annoyed when he kept the ball in on the goal line then handballed it straight to Robinson and then proceeded to rip his head off. But Mcintosh after an ordinary first half, filled in, in defence and did very well I thought.

Yeah. I cant see Dimma making that change. He'll stay with experience as long as we are in the hunt for finals. Weve got a good percentage, if the race for the 8 heats up % will be important.

% won’t matter for us ramps as we’ve got the draw

MRJ has to play. Maybe for Ross.

Balta to play defence for Grimes. Soldo comes back in for 2nd ruck.

In MRJ, Soldo
Out Ross Grimes

Think the rest will stay. Edwards mat make the call honourably and Dow comes in.
Go Tigers!

Out: Grimes (inj.), Edwards (rest), Ross (omitted)

In: Gibcus, MRJ, best mid from VFL

Don’t think we need soldo against port unless nank doesn’t pull up. They’re currently playing without a recognised ruckman so one of balta, Miller or Gibcus should be able to give nank a chop out.

INS: MRJ, Soldo, Gibcus

OUTS: Grimes, Miller (we have to keep Balta back), Ross

It is clear that certain players no matter how they perform in the VFL are not going to get picked, so no point in mentioning them anymore

I thought Miller did a good job when he was rucking around the ground. Somrone needs to give Nank a chop out. Miller gives us some flexibility.

Serious? I thought KMac was huge in the second half.

Im more disappointed in Pickett than McIntosh. Picketts been excellent for most of the year but hes been coasting a little bit.
