Mitch Cleary was wrong/incomplete. There's six outs including Hugo the sub and five ins including Maurice.

[WilliamPowell]

Also out

Short, Hugo (sub)

And MJR is an in

[WilliamPowell]

Surprised that Ross has been dropped. He's been ok

Average the last 2 games but overall I reckon he's been good. And I've never been a fan

Maybe finally giving up on marlion in the fwd line and moving him back to the wing where he’s played his best footy. I’d suggest if he has another poor game there then he may be dropped for the following week.

Surely Clarke or Ross are the sub ahead of HRS.

[Simonator]

Some good ins and some good outs. Can’t complain

[mightytiges]

Ross the only surprise out. Presumably will be the sub. Please not Hugo again, Mini!

It seems the main KPI this week for selection is tackle numbers which fits the focus on pressure mantra from Mini. The five omitted just had 2 tackles between them last week, whereas Maurice comes in after having 8 tackles in the VFL.

[Diocletian]

How do Hackintosh & Slowham keep their spots?

[Andyy]

Guess Clarke or Cumberland sub?

Ross stiff.

Not surprised Ryan out for this one, not a good game for him.

M Rioli lucky to be in IMO.

[crackertiger]

I am expecting Hicky to tear Nank a new one again as always. So no doubt was lose the clearance numbers again.Truly shocked that Graham has remained in the side. Not surprised that Ryan was dropped. He was simply uncompetitive. Hopefully Miller isn't playing a ridiculous tagging role this. That was an absolute joke Mini.. 

[the claw]

Oh dear oh dear.

Prestia baker graham and dusty all mids in the fwd half. He is not changing a thing might as well still have Hardwick there coaching from the usa or wherever he is now.

It is the same old same old.

Sam Banks plays wing its where we have developed him so why the hell can't we pick him on the wing??? and give him a bloody good crack at it.
You all know back a kid in.

Sheesh kicking into fwd 50 and foot skills in general yet McIntosh the butcher keeps a wing spot.

We Bring in Bauer a tall but not a kpf not yet anyway why are they so averse to changing the structure.

Fmd Young still being picked he has been bloody poor and we just keep backing in a feel good story that will not be a feel good story in time.
Amarty Franklin Logan take your pick he will be out of his depth.

Got rid of Ross well he got one thing right, only because a favorite he moved from the wing to the fwd line is struggling in the fwd pressure role.
Fmd how many footballers do we have to destroy playing the exclusive dumb arse defensive fwd role. It went out the door at the end of 2019.

Gotta say so disappointed in this caretaker so called coach.

[Knighter]

Ross is horrible - deserved to be dropped

[WilliamPowell]

Guess Clarke or Cumberland sub?

Nah, I'd expect Ross to be sub

.Truly shocked that Graham has remained in the side.

 I know people hate this term but he like McIntosh play their roles which are not based on stats (kicks and handballs). Whether we agree or not that is why players get picked sometimes

While I agree Graham was poor last week against Brisbane he's been doing what they want him to do.

I'd also think the fact he is a big body and we will need that against the Swans is another reason he holds his place
