Changes for next week against the Dogs?

Sounds like we at least got through unscathed (touchwood).

Hopper and Dusty potentially may return.

Fire away with your changes?

Easier to say who should remain in from todays game rather than who should come out.

Anyone not named Balta, Taranto, Cumberland, Baker and Clarke were either bang avg or very poor.

As for the ins, bring back hopper and dusty if they’ve recovered and Tarrant I guess because our defence needs all the help it can get.

On top of that Sonsie just flat out has to be playing. If they’re trying to ease him into the season, then well 3 games is enough. If they just didn’t think he was best 22 then I can’t fathom them still thinking that after watching tonight’s game.

Out:
Mansell
Ryan

In:
Hopper
Martin
Sonsie (sub)

I want a forward line of Jack, Lynch, Dusty and Noah. Don't think they've all ever played together. That is dangerous. Have Maurice around for forward pressure and maybe Bolton. Thats a proper forwardline. Why we play defensive forwards who hardly touch it I don't know. With 5 genuine forwards that need defensive accountability that will free up Maurice to play better too. I think he needs to play to carry the forward unit's lack of defensive pressure. Pies was massive.
Go Tigers!

Okay im going to start the ball here and i just know im going to cop it but no thanks to Dusty, while im about it make Grimes go back to find some form as swell.

pee Ross off and play one of the kids. How long does it take to make people realise we play to many battlers.

Lol Jack kicked two and that just papers over just how poor he was.

Want a chance to win a flag its time to play some kids. If anyone even suggests we were not far away tonight then delusion is alive and well.

Tonight we should have lost by ?? i will leave that to you lot to be honest with yourselves.

Jack looks done to me but geez at least he kicked two goals. Lynch should have had 2-3, Mansell 2.

Need another forward to actually push Jack out otherwise Lynch's situation will be even worse.

OUTS: One armed “tackle” (body slaps) / ineffective tackles (still allow disposal).


I could probably count on one hand the amount of actual effective tackles we had.

Terrible.

They both haven’t been great so far this year.
 It’s a sad state these two are in.

Maybe we bring in Nyuon and Miller and they can take turns as Ruck/defender combo to gives these two “captains” the shake up they need

“I think Hopper, Dustin and Short will all play next week,” Hardwick said.

“[Tarrant] will play a half tomorrow, which will be good. He has had a bit of an indifferent pre-season, but he is an experienced campaigner.”
