Can’t believe young dropped. Happy about it though. Balta would have to go back for some extra height

Would have kept Coulthard in year. Smith again overlooked

Sampson  :lol
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I was looking at our backline with young going out and no kpd’s coming in thinking that we looked severely undersized. Completely forgot about Balta being a defender.

I hope he does play in defence as we need him. Thought Kosi might have been a chance as we do look small all over the ground.

Top 3 pick is the plan

You would have to suspect Balta has been told he is going to the backline Saturday night. No chance you could lose the height there and not replace it. With Ryan in (good to see rewarded for form), it's sort of makes it more likely Balta moves back. (And I bloody hope so)
Glad to see young dropped due to form, but there should have been a few to join him.
Go tiges.

Hopefully the penny's finally dropped with the coach that Young is in fact a completely useless, barely VFL level dud.... :shh

Only to learn the same thing up forward by playing Sampson

That's because he's a ruckman who played his best footy last year when Nank & Soldo were both out  .....and he's still better than Koshitske..... :shh
