I'm guessing Floss will be back.

Fire away with your changes?

No VFL this week doesn't make it any easier.

In: Floss, Cumberland.

Out: Young :help, Clarke (no more as sub).

Could drop a couple of others but our long list of injuries saves them.

McQualter was asked post-match if we were getting anyone back next week. Maurice to play some footy but didn't say at what level. No mention of Vlastuin being back.

INS: Vlastuin (if fit), Banks

OUTS: Young (sorry just don't see what the coaches see - his was responsible for Lord getting the goal that broke us), Ralphsmith (enough is more than enough  :banghead), Clarke (sub)

I think there’s a stat somewhere where young is pretty good on the 1 vs 1 ? I think that gives him the potential to be an Astbury replacement?

Re - ralphsmith. I have a visceral disdain whenever I see him put on the jumper for us. To me he is the Aarts of 2023

Don’t be like that WP

Far too negative about young Hugo

We most definitely wouldn’t want to point out any deficiencies

Out Jack. Time to retire mate. Gave us nothing against Illir. Couldn't even pick up the ball at ground level. Love you but goodbye...

Firstly , we aren’t allowed to be negative about young Hugo

Secondly (and this breaks the first one), how can you compare the disdain with that for Aarts?

Aarts was tough and played with HEART. Absolutely limited in the class department, but at least he wasn’t petrified and had a crack. Give me Aarts any time.

There is room in AFL teams for blokes that are scared pooless, but they have to excel in other areas.

Jack watched his opponent walk the ball out of forward 50. Was disgraceful. He is a leader that sets standards and he did NOTHING but spectate after he lost most contests. This has happened all year and I have had enough of his lazy efforts. Last game this week please retire. Love you but please retire.

Out: Ryan, Riewoldt, Young, Hugo, Clarke

In: Vlas, Cumbo, MRJ, Sonsie, Banks

Kmac and Graham survive only because I don’t see them even making the 5 changes I listed above let alone 7.

Add McIntosh & Pickett to that list.

Dude he's not lazy, he's absolutely smashed every stuffing week playing 2 out with no other marking option and terrible delivery.

He's 34 and supposed to be getting regular rests, not taking the #1 forward post.

It's absolutely not his fault that he's been beaten black and blue due to our disgraceful list management and team selection.

Should have been rested but doing the team thing.
Hoping they give him a rest next week and we will then see how much depth we have in the key forward section
