Don’t know why Cotch was named as the emergency. Heavy track, struggles to get to contests on a dry day. Never stays in his feet in the contest, can’t extract and dispose the footy anymore.

Thought Cotch was solid. As he has been all year.

You wonder why we are lacking in clearances when blokes like him are no longer spending as much time in the middle. Look who is in there most
 of the time and how many clearances they are generating...

I think there is something wrong with the coaching in the middle

We seem too defensive

INS: Riewoldt, MJR

OUTS: Graham, Mansell

*** has to be a question mark on Lynch. Whether that is due to injury or via Chook Lotto (aka MRO). If he doesn't come up then Miller

Going by Dimma's presser, Lynch will be touch and go (injury, not suspension) and if Prestia is fit, I'll bare my backside in Bourke St. He's a doubtful I would think.

So I reckon: 

Out: Lynch, Prestia, Graham.
In: Riewoldt, MRJ, Cotchin, Ross sub.

MRJ?

In what universe did he play a good game?

Cumberland played a stinker the week before he got picked. We need some pressure in the forward line, plus someone who can pick the ball up first time.

For all the strengths MRJ has at this stage, picking the ball up first time is not one of them. Fumbles the footy with the best of them atm.

Then he'll fit right in with the majority  ;D

What's the feeling on Lynch? Does he get suspended?

Just watched it again.  In 2 minds, certainly doesn't get pushed into it.  Bit like a mid air bump in a marking contest.  Think he will get suspended.  3 weeks down to 2.

I think he doesn't hafe a case to answer

But knowing Chook Lotto and how it goes he will probably get 3 weeks
