I'll add more once I get home

But the first out must be Soldo, solely for his petulant display on the bench when he got subbed out.

Happened just near us and it was far worse that the other week when MRJ wouldn't take the phone

Couldn't give a stuff who they pick. They have been drinking their own bathwater for far too long and as a rsult refused to play enough kids or address what are pretty clear weaknesses.

Can see it unfold now back to the bad old days again next year when they should be getting as much unbiased information as they can on the state of the list and where we are at.

Club desperately needs an over haul and the process needs to be done by people from outside the club.Much like we did in 2016.
The reason i say this is with success comes blind loyalty to each other and the forest cannot be seen for the trees.

Problem is they will want to win for Cotchin so will want to play an experienced team but they should be playing youngsters. 

In Cotchin, Sonsie, Brown, Hopper, Ryan. 
Out Pickett, McIntosh, Rioli (have a rest son), Graham, Soldo.

Soldo should be out of the side and off the list. :thumbsdown

Out
Soldo
Pickett

In
Hopper
Cotchin

Baker needs to return to the backline. For this game, Balta to FF and ruck relief. Bauer also forward but can swing back if needed.

Mansell to play with McIntosh the sub.

Season is finished there is absolutely no reason not to be playing the kids now.

Out: Soldo, Pickett, Kmac, Grimes, Graham, Mansell, Prestia
In: Ryan, Sonsie, Banks, Brown, Clarke, Cumberland, Cotchin (last game for the champ)

MRJ stays in the vfl only because I think he’s better off in the middle there than being stuck in our dysfunctional fwd line in the seniors.

If Graham dropped could MRJ come in and play a mid/wing role??

I don’t think his skill set is suited to the wing. If they can find a spot to play him in the middle then sure bring him in. I don’t think Graham gets much pure inside mid time, so that wouldn’t be the replacement to make it work.

What Graham stays? Thats now three in a row shizen games since his last good one. I suppose if you play em often enough they are bound to have another good one sooner or later.

Thanks, good call re finding him another role.
