Changes for next week against the Dogs?

[georgies31]

Love our champions,  but we carrying to many now and hard decisions need to be made for the better off our club simple as that.To many one paced players out there.

Jon Ralph on Fox Footy after the game said Meehan has told him Dusty's scans were 100% clear last Sunday. They hope Dusty will train today and then increase his loads over the week and be able to play against the Dogs.

Hopper is a certainty to play next week.

Short will probably be given another week with that calf so he's right to go for the rest of the season.

Tarrant will play a half today in the VFL and will probably need a couple of weeks before returning to the AFL.

I know we can't complain about the standard of the umpiring even though at times it seemed a bit biased but there was one clear fundamental we didn't get right last night.
We were never first to the ball hence we were sloppy with our tackling & when we did have an opportunity with the ball we were under a lot of pressure at times so our disposal by hand or foot was not on par of a well drilled, classy side. We still have a lot if work to do on the track & I'm sure Dimma could see that our depth is still not there to cover the losses of our most important key personnel.

In Sonsie, Cumberland starts on the ground, Clarke, RalphSmith, mansell,young and Samson all stay out Cotchin,

[Tigerteam]

I agree with Sonsie & Cumberland but Cotch still does the in & under stuff very well. He lacks the speed to run & chase now which showed on a couple of occasions last night. We still need his experience & leadership on the field as he still has footy nouse.

You may be right, it is a tough call as I think we need games into Sonsie.
It’s lucky I am not the coach😂😂😂

I thought cotch was one of the reasons we got back into it early in the third

True, but maybe Sonsie could also be that player

Hey mint I agree with you , from what I heard about sonsie today from a very good judge , sonsie needs to be in the seniors asap

Changing of the old guard is a difficult transition, Cotchin Riewoldt and to some point Graham all look in need of an upgrade but on their day can be very good.

Trouble is their day is becoming less frequent and we need to get games into our younger players.

I think it is becoming obvious that speed and agility is a real key factor with new game styles of playing on and breaking lines.

[Buddysucks]

I think we need to but the bullet and keep Bolton deep forward, especially in transition because he has speed, evasiveness, and can take a mark. Much better option that keeping a slow tall who can’t at least kick it in when it hits the ground. Will then also give us KPP marking options down the win and half forward. God I miss Richo and the traditional power CHF.

[eliminator]

Sonsie must come into the side. His form warrants it. Maybe rest Cotchin given hopefully Hopper and Martin are back in.

[georgies31]

Talent is there in vfl time to use it blind freddy can see we got to many one paced players.

[pmac21]

In:. Hopper, Martin, Short, Sonsie,
Out: Mansell, Rioli Jnr, Ralphsmith, Clarke

[Damo]

In:. Hopper, Martin, Short, Sonsie,
Out: Mansell, Rioli Jnr, Ralphsmith, Clarke

Personally hate this option
Lose our two pressure forwards
Also hope Clarke gets a block of games (although doubt it will happen)
