Yze post-game said Hopper will be back after the bye for the Carlton game.


Fire away with your changes?

You just know McAuliffe will get dropped for Hopper.

What’s the point in playing Dow at this stage ? I think you know what you’re gonna get. Has shown minimal improvement but just gets given game after game.

I know many are against it but I would also look at Balta forward again with Lynch back in the side and Blight to come in to play back. Balta forward also let’s him pinch hit in the ruck. He has been really solid down back but I just think he can be more valuable around the ground and we have recruited blight for a reason, may as well play him.

Would also look at Bauer as a 3rd tall fwd. Wouldnt hurt to have a bit more structure around the flanks rather than Kosi and a bunch of smalls.

Sonsie is being played out of position but just isn’t impacting. With hopper in he stands no chance of getting a run in the midfield.

Kosi seemed a touch better but still isn’t the answer.

I would go with

Out: Kosi, Dow, Sonsie
In: Blight, Hopper, Bauer

Any injuries either game?
“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.

At this stage, pick one is priority.
No changes..just need to keep losing
Maybe put Lynch on ice for the season and Prestia.
2025 preparation must be in full motion now

Agree with you
All about pick one now

We should try and win one more game for the year if that won’t jeopardise pick one (Fremantle)

I’d still make changes though .. I’d bring in every kid that they foresee being on the list next year

The whole lot

Think we're already doing that

Look at Dow (I hope Dio doesn't mind but need to add this)  :shh

If the draft is our priority then Dow should be first picked..... :shh

Cumbo & Mansell out. 
No idea who comes in but Blight looked good in the 2s. 
Hopper should come back through the reserves.

Not a lot has changed for me my team again with promising  kids deserving a game while dropping those who are never going to take us anywhere and some who are just badly out of form.

Broad - Miller - Vlastuin
Smith - Blight - Brown

Trezise* - Taranto* - D Rioli*
Nankervis - McAuliffe* - Baker*

Campbell* - Balta - Coulthard
Bauer - Lynch - Bolton*

Martin* - Hopper* - Banks* - Prestia*

Ralphsmith*

Outs - Graham, Short, Dow, McIntosh, Koschitzke, Mansell, Cumberland, Sonsie.

Cumberland runs around where the ball isn’t….time to give up and go bush.
