Prestia and Cotch both named on the extended bench. To be rested so they are fresh for more winnable games against the Suns & Eagles?

[lamington]

Wait isn’t broads suspension over? What’s up with that?

Normally excited for this game. But after the last few weeks I'm a bit numb to it all.

Hope Bauer gets his chance but doubt he will

[the claw]

No idea of who is still injured

B Grimes - Young - Vlastuin . Grimes and Vlastuin on short notice.
HB Mansell - Balta - Rioli.. If MRJ is playing fwd then we dont need another pure negating fwd in mansell. Pop him back to his natural position.

C  Pickett - Martin - Banks.
R  Ryan - Taranto - Sonsie.

HF  Clarke - Riewoldt - Cumberland. Went Clarke instead of MRJ
F  Bolton - Bauer - Miller.  Gotta play with structure with Bauer. Miller provides cover in defnse if needed against Gawn or Grundy plus the fwd/ruck role.

Hopper - Baker - McIntosh - Cotchin - Prestia.

Just like the balance with seven of the youngish blokes Bauer, Miller, Clarke, Cumberland, Banks, Sonsie, Ryan who dont have a lot of games to their name with a good mix of senior players around them.

Plenty of natural fwds and plenty of natural defenders  plenty of mids with good height and size thru the team.

[WilliamPowell]

If Bauer plays it won't be as a forward, he would start as a defender IMHO

But cannot see him getting a game

[the claw]

That is typical of the club. Bereft of tall fwds plenty of tall defenders but hey lets play one of the only two tall fwds we have in defense.
Why aren't people sick to death of this kind of thing. Yet the silence is deathening.

[TigerLand]

Sonsie dropped is ridiculous

[TigerLand]

So Hugo or Sonsie will be sub. I personally think Cotch should be sub every game. I can't think of a better sub, injct some leadership and wisdom when things get close.

Put Rioli on ground in Cotch half forward role and put Sonsie on bench.

Hate to agree with Cornes that cotch won't hurt the scoreboard. Forward pressure is important but not at the expense of putting goals on the scoreboard. We are bottom 4 for points scored and this is why.

Miller Riewoldt Cumberland
Cotchin Martin Mansell

Is not a forwarding that suggests goals. Appreciate Lynch is out but it's just not been developed good enough. Especially when our midfield doesn't kick enough goals apart from Bolton. Graham back in here doesn't solve the issue either.

I was carrying on about it right here the other day. But I'm a newbie, so haven't got much voice yet.

Puzzling with Sonsie  .Make the young players the scapegoat for poor team performance. Last chance saloon for some serial experienced undeperformers .

Bauer played his junior career as a back.  Played one season (SANFL and VFL - 2022) as a forward.  Started 2023 as a forward and was not getting involved enough.  An issue that raised itself over summer.  Which was raised by Dimma.  He has now been moved back and is getting way more involved and with his good kicking is helping set us up.
